Candied Bakery is the brainchild of husband-wife team Toula Ploumidis and Orlando Artavilla (known for the Sugardough Panificio and Patisserie in Brunswick East). Having recently travelled across The States and inspired by the likes of sweet and fascinating offerings of David Chang’s establishments, they’ve returned to launch a bakery best of many worlds, all rolled into one.
Where to begin describing the Candied Bakery’s offerings? You’ll find bread and it’s organic (well, of course). Fluffy lamingtons, fruit buns, croissants, cookies and more. A weekly changing soft serve – last week’s flavour was Peanut Butter Jelly ice cream and this week you’ll get “cold drip” coffee from Thairu Estate in Kenya, thanks to Clarke St Roasters. And if a milo milk shake is too simple, we suggest you sip up the goodness of Candied Bakery’s signature Apple Pie Shake. ‘Nuff said.
Savoury-lovers won’t be disappointed with their signature pies – egg and bacon for breakfast, or lentil and goat’s cheese. Just point in the general direction and let your nose be the guide to tastebud terrificness.
