Hominy Bakery — Restaurant in Sydney

Great bakery! When they say it's something... you can taste it. And whoever's at the till is friendly, helpful and personable.

For example my wife and I tried their Cinnamon and Raisin scroll. The bake on it was wonderfully golden. The butter flavour was aromatic and nutty. Cinnamon radiating like a summer glow with plump juicy raisins for little sugar bombs throughout each flaky delectable bite.

Service can be a bit short tempered but you have to cut them some slack when they seem to be run off their...

Awful experience. Me and my husband who were visiting the area had the worst service. There was a small queue and the woman serving was friendly to everyone, even to a sweet girl who wanted to drop off her CV. I was already a little wary as I heard racism was prevalent in the ages but thought no way in 2025 at a tourist attraction. When it was my turn, the woman gave me a look of disgust, asked me abruptly what I wanted and when I asked her what pies were on offer she looked at me, pointed to a sign and didn’t say a word. This is the same woman who was laughing and joking with all other previous and may I add non south Asian customers. I shared I found her mannerisms intimidating and rude and she laughed me out the store. I was so upset by...
