This small suburban bakery, with its stylised 1960s aesthetic, nails nostalgia. There’s the strawberry cake, a gloriously simple sponge beneath thick vanilla icing and quartered strawberries. There are fast-emptying trays of sugar-dusted Boston doughnuts, generously filled with fresh cream. And the pizza focaccia, topped with basil and torn balls of mozzarella, comes in pre-shrinkflation proportions. Quality fare minus the fads.

Good to know: Sister shop Self Raised Snack Shoppe can be found in Bexley North.
