it is tucked away
amongst tall trees
but it's no secret
to sydney.
bourke street bakery.
they know
it's worth the wait
as they line up and down the street.
rain drops may drip
wind may lift skirts
but it is worth the wait.
they cram themselves
against the counter,
feverishly scanning the cabinets
before placing impromptu orders
(& ones they've dreamt of all week)
crispy, buttery croissants
delectable delectable sweet delights
flaky pies
cheesy folds of pizza
and creamy, strong coffee
oh...and of course the bread
the famous bread
there's even a personal sourdough! just for you
there's no room for watching waistlines
or thinking twice here.
just rickety stools
and well loved milk crates
to rest upon while you
gobble up your exquisite treats
perfect crunchy food for autumn time
we couldn't go past the
lamb, almond and harrissa sausage roll
whole almonds
currants
spices
throughout
and then...
the ginger brulee tart...
crispy layers of pastry
soft, silky filling
and crunchy brulee atop
a delicate sprinkle of roasted pistachio
who invented this delight?
i am a sucker for carrot cake
any type, any time
and they don't skimp
on anything
in their carrot cake slice
at bourke street
no more needs to be said
just try it
sweet blog readers
they also have a book
if you pick one up from the store
it's signed...and you get a free bag!
the book is good...very good
and so the sun slid down
through rich autumn leaves
and our tummy's smiled
at our autumn culinary adventure
you really must go
join the line
and they will tell you
it's worth the wait
and i'm not the first to rave
about their goodness
