Publique Bakery

Last updated June 10, 2026

Lamination is the focus at this modern bakery, where croissants arrive golden and crisp, sometimes filled with seasonal fruit or savoury additions like cheese or herbs. Publique Bakery follows classic French techniques but adapts them with an Australian point of view.

The sourdoughs are deeply blistered and full of character, while viennoiserie rotates daily depending on what’s good. Coffee is well executed and timed to match the richness of the pastries.

The pale, pared-back interior keeps attention on the counter. Seating is tight, so most customers take their orders to go.
