Chu Bakery

The Verdict

Located directly across from Hyde Park on William St in Highgate, Chu Bakery is the ideal spot to pick up a little baked treatie and coffee before strolling down to enjoy it picnic style.

With baked goods this incredible, the lines are inevitable. But don't fret when you see the mass of people stretched down the street, it moves pretty quickly.

Once inside grab a coffee and a super cute sweet treat. The cabinet is always overflowing with beautiful croissants, danishes, choux pastries, doughnuts and more that will blow you away with every bite.

If you're after something more substantial, don't pass up the opportunity to enjoy a fresh baguette or a nice thick piece of takeaway toast with toppings like hummus, cucumber and chilli, or smashed avocado, whipped feta and sriracha sauce. Then go ahead and add on a loaf to make more at home.

Whatever you walk out with, we guarantee you'll be back.
