Our story
A little bakery with a big heart
Golden Crust began in 2012 with one oven, a sourdough starter named Doris and a belief that Sydney deserved better bread.
Today we're still family-owned and still baking on Crown Street — but now with a team of fourteen passionate bakers who share our obsession with doing things properly. We mill, we knead, we wait, and we never cut corners.
- Family-owned and operated since 2012
- Everything made in-house, from scratch, daily
- Supporting Australian farmers and millers
Kind words
What our neighbours say
"The best sourdough in Sydney, hands down. I walk past three other bakeries to get here every Saturday morning."
"Their almond croissants got me through my final exams at UTS. Generous, flaky, and the staff always remember my order."
"Ordered a carrot cake for my daughter's birthday and it was stunning — moist, not too sweet, and gone within the hour."
