About Banneton Bakery

Ashgrove mornings center on Banneton’s blistered sourdough loaves and flaky viennoiserie fresh from the bakehouse. Queues reliably trail onto the footpath for vanilla cream cronuts, chocolate croissants, and almond pretzels, though the baristas keep tickets moving without a stall. Cyclists pulling off the Breakfast Creek path settle in next to locals spreading across the rustic indoor hall and dog-friendly outdoor awning. The savoury counter pulls its own weight—especially the flaky pork and fennel sausage roll, served warm with tomato relish.

  • Artisan Breads & Pastries: Loaves boast a light, bouncy crumb and blistered crust, backed by vanilla cream cronuts, chocolate croissants, and sweet almond pretzels.
  • Cult Savoury Lineup: Renowned for flaky pork and fennel sausage rolls and hefty chicken and pesto sandwiches that draw dedicated repeat crowds.
  • Dine-In Space & Covered Patio: Spacious, uncrowded indoor dining matches covered, dog-friendly outdoor seats beneath the street awning.
  • Trail Stop & Side-Street Parking: A natural stop off the Breakfast Creek bikeway; parking on nearby side streets avoids main-road delays during morning peaks.

  • Handcrafted Viennoiserie & Savoury Rolls

    Patrons can count on a wide counter spread of freshly baked French morning viennoiserie and seasoned pork and fennel pastries daily.

    My pork and fennel sausage roll was excellent, as was my chocolate croissant.

  • Generous Indoor Dining Space

    The indoor dining hall offers a generous rustic layout where guests can settle in comfortably without feeling squeezed against neighboring tables.

    The amount of space was a welcome site, not cramped 1ft. away from the next person like most other dine-in spots.

  • Post-Ride Cyclist Destination

    Northside riders tackle demanding elevation along Mt. Nebo before converging on Banneton as their designated coffee and pastry recovery station.

    after going up and down Mt. Nebo there is nothing like an excellent coffee and a perfect croissant

Before you head over

Practical planning tips for parking, morning queues, and seating. Check their website to plan your visit.

  • Park Along Nearby Side Streets

    Dedicated parking directly along Waterworks Road is tight and fills up rapidly during peak morning rushes. Save time by parking along adjacent side streets and walking in.

  • Arrive Early for the Best Loaf Selection

    Popular sourdough loaves, fruit breads, and specialty pastries sell out quickly. Morning queues move swiftly through attentive staff, but an early arrival guarantees full selection.

  • Head Indoors for a Quieter Sit-Down Experience

    Outdoor covered seating is dog-friendly and convenient for trail cyclists, but borders active traffic. Head into the rustic indoor dining room if you prefer a quieter, spacious sit-down meal. Check the bakery's website to review daily offerings and plan your visit.
