Bourke Street Bakery - Surry Hills, Sydney


There are queues everywhere in Sydney. The problem is, a queue attracts a queue and for some funny reason, people don't seem to mind. It's either get in the queue or miss out.

The Queue

The queue moved at a steady pace and it took the regulars no time at all to place their order and move on. I finally made it to the counter but I only just got through the doors and had no idea what to order. I scanned the display and settled for the safe options, chocolate and lemon curd tarts.

Rhubarb & Almond Tarts

I eat pickled gherkins by the jar and even I felt the lemon curd tart was a little sour. But I loved it nonetheless, the lemon curd is smooth and biting into the tart crust was like eating a light buttery cookie.

Remember to grab their famous Beef Brisket Pie if you have room, it is absolutely delicious. Large chunks of tender beef brisket and mushroom covered in generous gravy. There is no turning back to frozen pies after trying one of these.
