Chu Bakery

Located across from Hyde Park in Highgate, Chu Bakery is a popular spot for artisanal pastries and quality coffee. Their menu features a variety of freshly baked goods, including croissants, danishes, and choux pastries. Signature items like the kaya, coconut, and almond croissant, as well as the matcha yuzu "Chu" puff, are customer favorites. The bakery also offers savory toasts with toppings such as avocado, prosciutto, and hummus. Coffee selections include filter, espresso, and cold brew from Melbourne's Dukes Coffee Roasters, complemented by in-house almond milk and Valrhona hot chocolate. Due to its popularity, expect queues, but the wait is worthwhile for the quality offerings.
