brasserie bread

a cafe with a twist. open 7 days a week opposite the botany golf course in banksmeadow, brasserie bread is a contemporary take on a country bakers cafe. a delightful place for parents to enjoy and lovers of bread and sweets. a little drive close to the airport, the kids were keen to check out planes flying above on the way. we even took a quick look from the outskirts of the golf course across the road. brasserie bread, an artisan bakery, is inviting to the eye on entry. the scent of various breads, sweets on display at the front bread register with more pastries and yummy treats at the rear cafe counter definitely complimented the modern yet rustic decor. i noticed as we walked in, a closed glass door filled with kids excitedly baking. the staff confirmed they offer baking classes for kids and adults as well as school excursions and holidays – book well ahead!

yum. i always really enjoy coming here - the service is friendly and not overbearing. sometimes there is a bit of a wait but the staff try and get people in and out quickly and efficiently. food is delicious and they have a good variety of lunch time items and brekkie items. always enjoy coming here then buying some bread & cultured butter for home!

brasserie bread makes amazing artisan breads and i've been waiting to try them for quite a while. they also offer free kid's baking classes on saturdays which my son had the chance to attend.

the steak sandwich was definitely the most impressive steak sandwich i have seen so far. the portion is big we hesitated on the best way to eat this either by hand or with utensils. a bit on the messy side, but in the end picking it up by hand was the best option. a hearty dish with tender slices of beef which worked well with the delicious caramelized onions. however, the gherkin slices on top which is presented dangling on top is slightly confusing and out of place.

the first thing i noticed was the large selection of home-made relishes, jams, muesli and olive oils along an extensive range of cookbooks. samples of bread, jams and olive oils stood there yearning to be eaten and i didn’t hesitate one moment. we started our meal with three coffees. a large latte, a large soy latt

we learn how to mould it into a loaf using a special basket and leave it to prove while we decorate our flatbreads with some olives, rosemary and a drizzle of alto olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

best bakery by far!!!!!. my first experience of this bakery was amazing, i was so disappointed in myself that i hadn't been there before. let me just say, hands down the best croissant that i have ever had, it was like no other!!!! a definite must when going there, they were happy enough to pack my food for takeaway so i could enjoy it at home, which was a bummer for me cause i wanted more and more, i had the brioche with spinach, an egg and hollandaise sauce, it had smoked trout but i opted not to add it and my friend had the sourdough pancakes with bananas and maple sauce. i tried both and they were divine, there was so much sauce in both meals which made the food very scrumptious, and for someone like me who doesn't like pancakes at all. they may have changed my love for pancakes ?!

:)

i went with the mushroom ragout with eggplant puree (sans egg) which was amazingly delicious. i’m a sucker for a mushroom dish and this was great – different types of mushrooms piled atop toasted flatbread generous slathered with eggplant puree.

a good escape from city life, nice relaxed atmosphere with service to boot. sourdough pancakes were really good, i felt the eggs were slightly overdone, coffee is fantastic. on the whole this place is great, will come back again :-))

i highly recommend this place to everyone if you havent been there before because the bread there is gorgeous, youll fall in love with it straight away and be dying to return

oh good. yes oh good and oh god breakfast was just the best coffee is allpress ok not a fan but the piccollo was spot on the open window to the bakery superb we needed a bigger boot for all the bread and cakes we bought
so as this is my first review and im new to this being a critic

croque monsieur on demand. as the title goes, please order croque monsieur for your first time!! you will not be disappointed, 150% guaranteed~

he shortcrust pastry from brasserie is the same in all three cakes we tried, they hold really well, are gorgeously buttery and so crumbly when you bite into them. no wonder the girl at the counter put on 6 kilos in 3 months, how do you say no to such lovely food after work? the dark chocolate ganache was just divine, i was really into the next few mouthfuls as the caramel is as described, delightfully runny and slightly bitter. a stunning tart.

so simple, so delicious. don't expect a fancy menu, it's very simple and lacking in choice, but the food is very good. what it does offer is great for light brunch, which makes sense cos you gotta leave heaps of room for dessert! ranging from full meals (sourdough pancakes amazing!!), choc caramel tart (delicious, add your own salt ;) ), other tarts and cakes etc. coffee i've had over 2 weekends here were delicious. their dark choc is very sweet but so smooth, would be great in colder weather. i think it's on the pricey side for size of meals, but they make simple things taste so good! bun-in-oven must try :) the industrial/warehouse inside is not so great with noisy children though :(

there is a whiff of nippiness in the air, especially in the early mornings and late evenings. you long for some homely comfort, a bit of warmth and the aroma of freshly baked stuff. it can be a lazy, easy time. the arrival of autumn is on the back of our minds, but we do long for the texture of good baked rolls, to take with fresh and colourful fruit, welcome grains and the memory of other hazy but good mornings. oh yes, both the rhubarb and strawberry tart, plus the orange and hazelnut friand are waiting for you (above image), fresh - someone has returned from the brasserie bread cafe near botany bay. clockwise above, from noon: brioche burger bun, flavourful light and just of the right bite size; the ever reliable plain croissants, ready as they are, but also inviting with butter, jams and crunchy sides; the sweet danish "pain raisin", tempting but not overwhelming. the sit down menu at the cafe is extensive, whether for breakky, brunch or lunch. i was captivated by the six seed roll
