All Purpose Bakery aka A.P. Bakery is found on top of Surry Hills' Paramount House Hotel. The licensed all–weather rooftop terrace serves up a selection of fancy pastries that change daily, banging brekkies, pizzas and breads made from ancient and artisanal grains, plus croissants stuffed to the brim with LP's Quality Meats ham with gruyere cheese. Come early to (try) and beat the crowds.
Winter 2024 update: Head outside in the fresh and crisp winter’s air and start your morning on the right note with a cracking brekky and coffee at one of Sydney’s best cafés. Currently, we’re lusting over sun-lit and charming The Wedge, Manly’s new spot Noon, and the forever-delicious A.P. Bakery. The real question is: how many have you checked out?
Sydneysiders are café people. We're constantly on the hunt for the city's best coffee, we won't bat an eyelid over shelling out $30+ a head for brunch, and we love nothing more than donning our finest sport-luxe activewear and catching up with mates on a weekend morning over eggs, fritters and crusty artisan sourdough.
So, whether it's a reward for tackling one of Sydney's most beautiful walks, a quick caffeinated catch-up, an indulgent hangover fix after a night at one of the city's best bars, or a workday coffee stop, these are the best Sydney cafés, according to our in-the-know Time Out Sydney critics, including Food & Drink Editor Avril Treasure. We'll have one B&E roll, please.
