Baker D. Chirico — Restaurant in Melbourne

Really glad I found this bakery in Melbourne — genuinely satisfied. The girls working front of house are super friendly and attentive. The design of the place and the packaging are also worth appreciating.

As for the food — I absolutely love it. The new items they bring out are always delicious. I’d highlight all their sourdough breads, and from the savoury options, the beef pie is a standout — the filling is excellent — and the veggie quiche is great too. The sausage roll is pretty good as well.

I do miss the pickle beetroot sandwich and the chicken sandwich — both were amazing and I really hope they bring them back.

On the sweet side, I’d highlight the hot cross buns — really good — and the Earl Grey pain au suisse. The pastry on the danishes is incredible too. I’d honestly try everything if I could.

One thing I’d definitely request is for them to bring back that chocolate special they did for Valentine’s Day — it truly deserves to be a permanent item.

Wow! How did I not discover this heaven sooner? This tastefully decorated shopfront displays a range of aestheticaly pleasing artisan pastries baked on-site. Served by friendly and helpful staff in the divine fragrance of freshly baked goods, I left with four Italian pastries in anticipation.

Back at my friend's, we shared the famous bombolone, apple strudel, cannoli and raspberry baked cheesecake. Each pastry was outstandingly delicious, light in texture and bursting with flavour. The bombolone was coated with sugar and accompanied by the most amazing cream. The apple strudel pastry was delicate and melted in our mouths. The cannoli with its crushed pistachio was definitely worth a mention. Even the baked cheesecake was light and fluffy, unlike most that are heavy and overly dry.

I'm so going back here...

📝: Baker D Chirico is one of Melbourne’s go-to bakery for all kinds of baked goods from loaves, danishes, cakes, and pies. Such a warm and homely interior full of wooden shelves and timber. They also sell a selection of pantry products such as spreads, jams, biscuits, and muesli.

❤️: Had a taste of everything and I have to say that my favorite was none other than the 🍊🍰 Flourless Orange Cake. So dense and fragrant—I love any citrus-sy bakeries honestly! The ❤️🥧 Rhubarb Tart, imo, did not have enough rhubarb...
