The Grumpy Baker

“Inside, I was greeted by the incredible, rich aroma of freshly baked goods.”

Andrew Brook★★★★★

The bread and pastries offered are second to none. Always made to a high standard. Thoroughly recommend any of the sourdough loafs, particularly if you get there on open when its literally straight from the oven.

The coffee isn’t the best here, but the Lamington is delicious. The blueberry muffin tasted way below average.

Not sure why theres so many negative reviews with this place? It deserves over 4 stars easily. Pies were top notch. Filled with meat & had unique flavours (bottom a bit soggy, but not enough to ruin the experience). Cinnamon scroll tasted great, and their sourdoughs are top quality. Nice and clean inside, cosy little place. Keen to go back and try something on the menu (just don't close the kitchen so early lol)

I have been going to the Grumpy Baker for a few years now before my travel home to Canberra. I come to Newcastle once a year, I should get there more often. I love the ocean, markets, weather there. Anyway, I enjoy a good apple danish and coffee. It wasn’t too hectic because I got there early for a Sunday morning. It was so hard to choose other things to take away for the 4 and a half hour drive so I settled for a fluffy croissant. Can’t wait to go there again. Unless they open one in Canberra in the Inner South, of course.
