Crafty Baker

We went to Crafty Baker based off Melanie’s review and boy were we glad we did. They specialise in sourdough as well as other delightful baked treats and as Melanie mentioned, even make their own butter!
When you walk in, check out the explanation on the wall about how sourdough is made and the associated health benefits. Who knew that it’s slow fermentation process makes it easier for us to digest, so much so that even gluten intolerant people can often eat it, no dramas. And if you like sourdough, there’s is some of best in the city — super chewy and full of flavour. The ideal bread for dipping with a good quality EVOO.
Also, if you’re a pie fan it’s worth wrapping your mouth around one (or several) of theirs. I will warn you that they are smaller than normal pies but they make up for it in flavour and the high quality ingredients — no weird fat globules here. My favourite is their classic mince & cheese. It’s got added spice and is deliciously flakey.
I’d definitely stop by Crafty Baker on the reg if it was closer to home!

Ok, so the word got out faster than you can say speedy gonzalas about how good this place is, I had three people recommend it to me in a manner of two weeks.
These guys MAKE their own butter, use organic meat in their super divine artisan pies and have croissants and bread (I recommend the sourdough seeded) that are fresh and delicious!
Park behind the back of the building, queues are to be expected, and I feel slightly sorry for the cheap and nasty bakery two doors up — hows business guys?
Go check them out and support this alternative to soooooo many other bakeries around the neighbourhood that may be cheap, but not necessarily so good for our health or environment.
