Eat Street: Haberfield sweets guide
LET that sweet tooth out to sample the goodies in postcode 2045 and it might well be tempted to stay.
RAFFAEL’S BAKERY
By unanimous decision, Raffael’s Bakery offers the moistest tiramisu around, but only when they feel like making it. Fortunately the freshly made breads and Nutella doughnuts are reason enough to duck in on a regular basis to see if you've come on a lucky day.

GARNISH FINE FOODS CAFE
Putting an Australian twist on the ricotta and walnut muffin, brothers Matt and Frank, of Garnish, have added mango to the recipe. Just sweet enough to balance out a strong coffee.

PASTICCERIA PAPA
There’s a reason that Papa’s is the go-to for sweets. Haberfield resident Natalie D’Abrew is a fan of the baked ricotta cheesecake and clearly many agree as the popularity of Papa’s pastries has seen it open up shops in Bondi and Five Dock.

‘Beyond a fire sale’: Criniti’s stores sold for staggering price

‘I like big buns’: Wacky burgers with a difference
Parramatta’s very own Eat Street is as exciting and diverse as the city itself. Take BL Burgers for example, which brought its premium burgers — including the Blame Canada, Blame Indian and Mac Daddy burgers — to western Sydney.
