The Paddock Bakery is a licensed cafe, open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch, and is quickly becoming a world-class destination within the historical Federal Mills precinct.
Originating in Burleigh Heads in the Gold Coast, the Paddock Bakery is famous for its wood-fired sourdough, creme brulee donuts and mouth-watering pastries. The heart and soul of Paddock Bakery is their hand-built wood fire oven, made with antique red bricks collected from all around Australia. The oven is endlessly nurtured by experienced hands usually covered in flour, creating what we believe to be the best wood-fired sourdough around.
They have plenty of seating in their spectacular pet-friendly courtyard and in the historic café – the perfect breakfast, brunch or lunch spot awaits. Large groups are always welcome and they cater for functions.
