Pastry Paradise: The Best Bakeries in Hobart

Everybody needs a good gluten dealer in their life, and in Hobart you are spoiled for choice. If you’ve already feasted on brunch and are looking for something sweet (or savoury) to tide you over, we’ve got you covered. From golden croissants to legendary scallop pies, Hobart’s bakeries are a carb-lover’s dream.

Whether you’re chasing a 36-hour sourdough, a next-level doughnut, or the flakiest pastry in town, these spots deliver the goods. Think vol-au-vents at Six Russell, butter buns at Toni Brisco, and game-changing cruffins at Paradise Regained. Ready to eat your way through Hobart? Here’s where to find the most drool-worthy bakeries in Hobart.

Yen’s Gluten Free

In a quiet Sandy Bay kitchen, Yen is rewriting what gluten-free bread can feel like. A former athlete turned pastry chef, she spent years studying fermentation, psychology and the alchemy of flavour — all sparked by one bleak hospital slice that convinced her Tasmanians deserved better. Today, her loaves are soft, fragrant and alive with the type of care that comes from lived experience. This is gluten-free sourdough as comfort, as craft, as tiny everyday joy — baked for anyone who thought they’d never love bread again.

Cripps DT & JL Bakehouse

Cripps DT & JL Bakehouse is a beloved east-shore institution in Bellerive with a reputation that often precedes it. Locals line up here for hearty, made-from-scratch pies, crusty loaves and sweet treats like custard-filled doughnuts — all served alongside strong coffee. The seasoned chips, with their distinctive salt, are a talked-about favourite and part of the draw for lunchtime crowds. Open daily from early morning to late afternoon, this bustling Hobart bakery marries classic bakery fare with the easy-going vibe of Hobart’s riverfront suburbs.

1 Percy Street, Bellerive

Bread Line

North Hobart’s Bread Line has a warmth that draws you in before you’ve even read the menu. Freshly baked Middle Eastern flatbreads fly out the door — za’atar, cheese folds, tandoori chicken, the lot — alongside sweet treats like Biscoff baklava and Nutella scrolls that barely touch the counter before disappearing. It’s relaxed, generous and proudly inclusive, with vegetarian, vegan and halal options woven naturally through the menu. Order a strong coffee, settle into the buzz of NoHo, and let the simple joy of good bread do the rest.

356 Elizabeth Street, North Hobart

Six Russell

The new Six Russell is nothing short of a revelation. Born from the minds of the Tso family (Me Wah) and Kobi Ruzicka (Dier Makr, Lucinda), this Hobart bakery elevates every bite. Expect 36-hour slow-fermented sourdough loaves, croissants that flake with absolute precision, and a McMuffin reimagined: fennel-spiced sausage, silky egg, and a dill-caper sauce that turns breakfast into a statement.

6 Russell Crescent, Sandy Bay

Imago Cafe & Bakery

Imago Cafe & Bakery in Hobart is a must for pastry devotees. This artisan haven serves slow-fermented sourdough, flaky croissants, cakes, and inventive filled pastries that vanish faster than you can say “second helping.” Breakfast and lunch menus blend classic techniques with contemporary flair, while expertly brewed coffee keeps spirits high.

114 Elizabeth Street, Hobart

Mother of Pearl Sweeties

Mother of Pearl Sweeties is bringing serious cookie magic to Hobart’s Farm Gate Market every Sunday. Their red velvet cheesecake cookie? An absolute must. Think rich, chewy, and loaded with flavour. From classic chocolate chip to indulgent, over-the-top creations, everything is made with top-notch ingredients and a whole lot of love. Whether you’re grabbing one (or a dozen), these sweeties are guaranteed to brighten your weekend. Follow the crumbs and thank us later.

Farm Gate Market

The Pie Doge

The Pie Doge is all about that made-from-scratch, live-in-the-moment kind of comfort food. Specialising in handcrafted pies with locally sourced ingredients, their stall at the Farm Gate Market (every 1st and 3rd Sunday) is a must-visit. Sweet tooth? Don’t leave without a slice of their rich Mississippi mud pie, the tangy lemon curd pie, or the raspberry meringue pie, each one a beautiful balance of indulgence and nostalgia.

They also take special orders for pies and cakes, so keep them in mind for your next gathering.

Toni Brisco Bun House

Toni Brisco Bun House is a Hobart-based microbakery slinging some of the best buns in town. Operating exclusively at local markets, you’ll find them every Sunday at the Farm Gate Market, where their handcrafted butter buns, nostalgic finger buns with pink icing, and flaky pastries draw a loyal crowd. But the real must-try? Their to-die-for cinnamon buns — pillowy, sticky, and utterly addictive. For the latest updates and drool-worthy visuals, follow their Instagram here.

Farm Gate Market

Poolish & Co

Just under an hour from Hobart, in the quaint town of Cygnet, Poolish & Co is a must-visit bakery for pastry lovers. Revered by locals and travellers alike, this bakery delights with artisanal sourdough, exquisitely crafted French pastries, and a tempting array of savoury treats. The ambience is warm and inviting, perfectly matching a menu that balances classic technique with modern creativity.

Arrive early to snag seasonal fruit Danishes or the date brioche with orange caramel — weekend favourites that vanish fast, making every bite feel like a little triumph.

Paradise Regained 

About 45 minutes from Hobart in the quaint town of Glen Huon, Paradise Regained is a hidden Tasmanian treasure. Part home and garden store, part culinary haven, it’s the perfect pit-stop for a day exploring the south. Indulge in flaky croissants, buttery cruffins, Kouign-amanns, and melt-in-your-mouth pain au chocolat, or sweeten the moment with delicate macarons and berry Danishes. Savour savoury delights too — prosciutto, spinach and ricotta rolls or a luxuriously creamy Quiche Lorraine — before wandering the store’s charming corners and soaking up the calm.

1018 Glen Huon Road, Glen Huon

Summer Kitchen 

Just a half-hour south of Hobart, tucked into a Huon Valley backstreet framed by mountains, Summer Kitchen has become a pilgrimage for baked-goods devotees. Here, organic woodfired breads and wholegrain delights sit alongside starry pies that locals swear by — the lentil shepherd’s and homity, a soul-soothing mix of potato, leek, and sour cream, are showstoppers. Pair it with a generous bowl-sized chai and a cream bun or almond croissant that practically melts in your mouth.

21 Marguerite Street, Ranelagh 

Pigeon Whole Bakers 

The queues say it all at this Hobart institution. Whatever you choose at Pigeon Whole Bakers, you can’t go wrong — jalapeño and spring onion cream cheese bagels, croissants as flaky and buttery as dreams, or a simple, perfect sourdough loaf. Pair it with exceptional coffee, and you’ve got the ideal start to the day, all from a prime city-centre spot that makes popping in almost impossible to resist.

32 Argyle Street, Hobart 

Queens 

If the siren call of a fresh, flaky croissant sends you weak at the knees, make a beeline for Queens Pastry, perched just on the edge of the CBD. They spill the daily bake times like golden secrets, so you can swoop in the moment buttery perfection emerges from the oven. Go classic with ham and cheese, surrender to the simple, buttery plain, or heed your sweet tooth’s demands with their famously decadent doughnuts. This Hobart bakery is a daily reminder that pastry can, in fact, be life-changing.

144 Harrington Street, Hobart 

Daci & Daci 

Since 2011, Daci & Daci has been bringing a touch of Paris to Hobart, serving exquisitely crafted pastries, show-stopping cakes and polished breakfast and lunch plates. The original city cafe, a stone’s throw from Salamanca Market, is an essential post-shop stop, while the newer suburban outposts offer a more leisurely setting. Whichever you choose, the same meticulous attention to flavour and detail makes every visit feel special.

Hobart, New Town, Sandy Bay 

Jackman & McRoss 

No trip to Tassie is complete without sampling a scallop pie — plump local scallops wrapped in rich curry sauce and encased in buttery, golden pastry. For a truly memorable bite (homemade ketchup included), head to Jackman & McRoss. Sweet lovers won’t be disappointed either: their chocolate éclairs and delicate fruit tarts are irresistible. After indulging, take a slow wander through the serene, historic streets of Battery Point, where charming cottages and quiet lanes make for the perfect digestive stroll.

57 Hampden Road, Battery Point 

Circle of Life Doughnut Co

Got a doughnut craving? Circle of Life Doughnuts is your next sweet pilgrimage. With a dazzling array of flavours — think Iced Vovo, Jaffa, apple crumble, Jersey caramel, and a confetti-specked hundreds-and-thousands — there’s a nostalgic twist for every taste. But the true showstoppers? Choc ripple cake doughnuts, so legendary that they often deliver them out to smaller towns. Each bite is a little moment of bliss, paired with expertly brewed coffee.

Bank Arcade, 66-68 Liverpool Street, Hobart

Little Missy 

This little takeaway nook is adored by Hobart locals and visitors alike, with treats as beautiful as they are satisfying. Little Missy Patisserie leans into local produce — free-range eggs, seasonal fruit — to create lemon curd creams, caramel-kissed pastries and delicate strawberry mille-feuille. They sit alongside savoury favourites like cheesy scones and a surprisingly addictive potato-and-wasabi salad. Warm, charming and consistently delicious, it’s one of Hobart’s loveliest stops for baked goodness the whole family can enjoy.

151 Argyle Street, Hobart

Sunbear 

This former teddy bear shop was received with open arms by Hobart locals and visitors alike when it opened in 2019. With cosy interiors and some of the nicest staff in the business, you’ll be jostling for a seat at Sunbear, and for good reason.  

Aside from a crazy good breakfast and brunch menu, the house-made cakes are next level and highlight the best of in-season produce, from apricot frangipane tarts to polenta and lemon upside-down cake. They also offer the occasional Pigeon Whole croissants — if you see a Tassie Walnut croissant on their menu, do not think twice before ordering it.
