Book NowAbout Ovens Street Bakery
Tucked behind Sydney Road, this Brunswick microbakery turns out blistered sourdough loaves, pillowy Turkish bread, and crisp viennoiserie from a modest service window. Locals gladly join the morning line for buttery almond croissants and rich slices of Roman-style pizza, though seasoned regulars skip the queue entirely by scheduling an online pre-order. Beyond French classics, the bake sheet features international specialties—from Scandinavian cardamom buns to jam-filled Polish pączki and deeply caramelized Kouign-Amann. Outdoor benches catch the morning sun while you tear into a flaky rhubarb pastry alongside a flat white.

The cardamon buns/pastries are as delish as one would get in Scandinavia...well, I suspect they are even better
Liz Reynolds Caramelized Kouign-Amann and crisp viennoiserie
Bakers deliver signature caramelized Breton Kouign-Amann featuring balanced toffee layers and soft laminated interiors.
Surprisingly good Kouigb Amann, perfect amount of caramelized top yet still soft and fluffy on the inside.
