Sourdough Baker Cafe
Finally, a cafe devoted to sourdough. The woodfired oven is the hub of the cafe and ensures that Warwick Quinton's sourdough is baked to perfection. Quinton also uses the oven to prepare the majority of the menu which includes pizza, cakes and even the meat on sandwiches! Fancy yourself a baker? Hit up a sourdough baking workshop and learn from the master. Once you've learnt how to bake sourdough, the special ingredients, such as 20 year old sourdough starters, are available to buy at the cafe.

Don’t forget Jordan’s Bakery. Great sourdough as well. 2 locations at NEW Lambton and Newcastle/Honeysuckle.
The sourdough Baker cafe’s loaves are so delicious and they serve great breakfasts at pretty good prices. Hard to beat!
The bakery at Booral also makes a great sourdough…and a nice drive up the Bucketts Way.
You don’t have to wait until market days for Bill’s Organics. They’re also stocked at Coles and Woolworths. I think they might be at Natural Tucker on Darby Street too. The Apricot and Fig loaf at the markets is delicious.
Jordans Bakery at New Lambton. The best sourdough bread in Australia.
DEFINITELY missing Jordan’s Bakery at New Lambton and Honeysuckle - their pumpkin and honey and almond sourdoughs are amazing!!!
