The often lengthy queue snaking down Drewery Lane – a cobblestoned laneway just off Little Lonsdale Street – is worth joining for the pastries at this tiny Japanese-inspired bakery. Shoji-style timber panelling is found throughout, including framing a large window that allows eager customers to peep into the pastry kitchen before entering. Specialty treats might include manju, a sweet bun hailing from Japan, while various croissants, Danishes and loaves of fluffy milk bread make regular appearances.
Must order: Any of the croissants – crunchy on the outside, delicate and soft inside, and recently placing in the top five in Good Food’s croissant taste test.
