THE LOW DOWN
We were born & bred on the other side of the world on a charming, tree-lined street on a now-famous little corner of Bourke Street in Sydney, Australia. We had a big dream to make the food we loved by hand - everything from scratch and to serve damn good coffee. We were chefs who learned to bake and had no clue how to run a business. We'd spent years traveling, eating, cheffing and catching the odd wave. Lucky for us, people liked what we made, that was over 15 years ago now. We took our time, always honoring good produce, strong flavors and artisan baking traditions. This is the first Bourke Street Bakery outside of Oz and YES like many of you, we too had a dream to move to the Big Apple and be surrounded by food & coffee-crazed, passionate people.
We opened the doors to our bakery in NoMad in May 2019, and what a ride it’s been so far! Covid turned us upside down but we’re still here making and baking real food the old-fashioned way. In fact, we’ve doubled down on our obsession with NYC and opened up a few more locations. We can’t wait to see you in the bakery soon!
