Luca Bakery

Bakery$

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

There’s a lot to notice when you walk into Luca Bakery: the air’s scented with toasted nuts and brown butter, a handwritten sign names the local family who grew the peaches that adorn the thyme-dotted galette, the farmhouse-style counter displays super-sized raspberry marshmallows and frosting-rich carrot cake.

Then there’s the table amassing recipes. People leave them for owner (and former MasterChef winner) Larissa Takchi to recreate in the bakery’s ovens. Takchi’s open invitation to contribute family recipes is part of the warm, inclusive atmosphere the bakery has emanated since opening in 2025.

Must order: A Monte Carlo and any of the “Made from Memory” specials using community donated family recipes.
