Sourdough Panini Bakery

Great paninis! I’ve tried the Premium Meatball, Pulled Roast Pork and the special they had on one day and all were amazing. The sourdough bread is perfect — crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right taste of sourness. The only negative is the price — at $ 9.50, they are a bit pricey but this is what you’d pay for lunch in Sydney. The paninis are very filling though.

Reuben? Reub-​no.
From Wikipedia (a trusted source, obvi):
«The Reuben sandwich is a hot sandwich of corned beef, Swiss cheese with Russian dressing, and sauerkraut. These are grilled between slices of rye bread. Several variants exist.»
Now what I had wasn’t BAD. It had a couple pieces of a nice tasting deli meat with some thickly chopped pickled cabbage and some mustard flavouring was to be found in the dressing — and there was a good amount of cheese. Overall it was a pretty good sandwich, but a Reuben, it was not.
The sign out front informed me that the crunchy fresh bread was, in fact, certified organic sourdough — something important to some so I thought it noteworthy.
Value isn’t the best. For the going sandwich rate of $ 9.50 you can get something giant and delicious at Little Vienna around the corner, although admittedly I came here because I didn’t want something giant. This was about the size of Taste Baguette, but not as soft in the middle.
If I had ordered anything other than a Reuben, this review could have gone another way. The masses in front of me all seemed to be ordering the schnitzel, so maybe that’s worth a try.

Oh my good God, please try the Reuben.

I come here for the lunchtime paninis as there are better coffee joints in the city.
For $ 9.50 you get a pretty awesome sourdough panini filed with all kinds of goodness. The roast pork and the chicken schnitzel are personal favourites. Trust me, you won’t be hungry after this.

OK, I am biased, I confess, as these guys are right near my new office and as far as I can see they have the best in the area — Campos prepared well and rapidly and with a laugh. the food is fresh and tasty and the queue for coffee here everyday speaks silent testament to the popularity of these guys.
Love em!

I admit, my friend and I stumbled upon this café on the way to the gym and we drooled all the way there. After weeks of trying to avoid the luscious looking tarts in the window display, we finally decided that we were going to stop by after our gym class one day haha. The only problem is that we forgot which street it was on — was it Clarence or York? The place is a tiny hole in the wall so we weren’t sure where we saw it!
We finally found it again and had one of the best coffee and desserts in Sydney CBD. We didn’t care that we were undoing all the good work we did in the gym, but we ended up having this quite regularly on our walk back. The lemon tart is particularly nice.
The staff are quite friendly and although there isn’t a huge seating area, there are a feel stools on the side for a quick coffee stop.
So next time you’re in their side of the CBD, stop by Sourdough. Also they look like they do some mean sandwiches, which I must try when I stop getting distracted by the tarts!
