We asked you to vote for you favourite local bakery in the eastern suburbs. Who will take the cake you ask? Here is your winner.

The bakery is a staple of the local community and a passionate talking point for those who take comfort and joy in its doughy delights.

After asking Wentworth Courier and Southern Courier readers to vote for their favourite bakery and counting the votes, we have crowned a winner for the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

Son of a Baker’s Botany HQ is the beloved bakery of choice for locals.

Son of a Baker understands the value of tradition and stripping back to a few good ingredients.

The name Son of a Baker derives exactly that – the fact that Urosevski is the proud son of a baker.

When he opened his first store in San Souci in 2017, he wanted to honour his father, who taught him how to bake.

Son of a Baker’s revered savoury burek with “flour, salt, water and a touch of coconut oil” pays homage to centuries-old traditions, as they say of their food philosophy.

All the ingredients for their popular butter croissants are made in house.

Owner Roman Urosevski has an eye for detail and a creative streak that sets him apart.

The “chic and seamless” boutique feel is no coincidence.

Son of a Baker owner Roman Urosevski. The business is famous for its burek and pastries.

Urosevski draws inspiration from architecture and interiors, even running an art series where he painted croissants and created merchandise.

He said the Botany HQ store has a “tight knit community, which has supported us from the day we opened”.

He said especially through COVID-19 and coming out of it, “people stuck with us”.
