Candied Bakery

This venue is one of Good Food’s 100 Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2026.

This westside favourite marks a baker’s dozen years, but they’re not loafing around. The cake cabinet’s an enticing mix of cult hits and new tricks. A pegboard displays the daily bread (slicing is offered with a smile) or snag a sausage roll − perhaps sweet, juicy char siu pork. The same puff pastry perches atop a vanilla slice doughnut, a hat-tip to the original.

Good to know: Open for a pre- or post-Scienceworks pit stop
