Seventeen years after it opened, Iggy’s remains the benchmark against which all Sydney bread is measured. Even now, you have to arrive early for the glorious sourdough loaves, rolls and bagels, which often sell out by mid-morning. As a bonus, it means you get the almost-sticky, spongy bread encased in a perfectly chewy crust, fresh and warm out of the oven. If you do miss out (as may happen on Saturdays), Iggy’s also sells coffee and croissants, so you can still pull up a stool and enjoy the cool vinyl soundtrack.

Must order: Their sourdough croissants have a gentle, buttery earthiness, and ranked seven on our taste-test challenge.
