Baker Friday is a very delicious bakery cafe tucked away down a little mall next to Westfield. The head baker/owner did a stint at Bourke Street Bakery, and it shows. Similar menu and set up, but a little different and more interesting.
The pear and walnut danish is the best danish pastry I have ever had. It is the perfect balance of pastry, frangipane, poached pear and walnut. I haven't been able to get past it. The quince tart also looked amazing as did the lemon scones, carrot cake and muffins. The almond croissant and ham and jarlsberg croissant sampled by Paul also come highly praised.
The cafe is roomy for prams and they do an average babycino (ie not enough froth). However I didn't spot a high chair. Coffee is decent. Pick up a loaf of sourdough for only $5 - a bargain it seems these days. Other menu items include pizzas, soups, pies and sausage rolls. If I can get past the sweets, I might get to try one some day.
Baker Friday is open Monday - Saturday, early til 4ish.
Shop 9, 237 Oxford St
