Pioik Bakery Pyrmont

Skip the outdated online menus—this Pyrmont bakery is strictly about world-class viennoiserie and artisanal dough. Sydney’s pastry obsessives rank their almond croissant among the city’s absolute best, while well-traveled gourmands vouch for deeply caramelized canelés that rival Bordeaux's finest. The minimalist, warm space drops the café clichés to put the focus entirely on the craft. Shatter-crisp lamination. Masterful crumb structure. Try the inventive Baklava Escargot, a golden turmeric swirl, or the legendary 'Epooro' bake. Pair a flawless chocolate croissant with their exceptionally smooth coffee. Seating is tight and the premium goods move fast—arrive early in the AM, grab a crusty baguette or robust olive bread, and taste absolute perfection.
