About Chu Bakery

Highgate’s corner counter for crisp viennoiserie and serious baking. Early crowds stretch down William Street, but the crew clears the pavement in minutes. Trays balance morning staples with rotating monthly specials—raspberry almond croissants packed with tart coulis, custard eclairs, and savory mushroom danishes. It is strictly takeaway. Carry a passionfruit doughnut and an iced mocha across the road to Hyde Park, claiming a bench in the morning sun.

  • Park-Side Morning Ritual: Pick up takeaway bakes and coffee, then cross William Street directly to picnic under the trees in Hyde Park.
  • Rotating Monthly Creations: Inventive monthly bakes—from Tiramichu eclairs to seasonal fruit tarts—run alongside daily raspberry croissants and savory danishes.
  • Swift Counter Service: Despite lines stretching out the door, the front team moves the takeaway line rapidly so orders land in minutes.

  • Unmatched Flavor Creativity

    Rotating featured pastries deliver regular novelty, giving returning visitors distinct culinary reasons to check in each month.

    But the real monthly life choice is their special, it’s always dangerously good and deserves its own pedestal.

Customer favorites and staple viennoiserie to take across to the park

  • Raspberry Croissant

    I tried the raspberry croissant — quite a big piece for breakfast — with beautifully crisp, flaky layers and fresh raspberry filling that wasn’t overly sweet.

  • Almond Croissant

    The almond croissant was absolutely delicious.

  • Mushroom Danish

    I liked the mushroom danish out of all the food I ordered; it was sweet and at the same time, creamy.

  • Passionfruit Doughnut

    My child had the passionfruit doughnut and said the dough was as soft as a cloud

Other favorites

Specialty drinks, savory lunch options, and rotational specials complement Chu Bakery's takeaway spread.

  • Salted Caramel Latte

    The salted caramel latte and earl grey hot chocolate exceeded expectations!

    Glenda Ang

  • Chocolate Éclair

    One of the best eclairs I've tried. The choux pastry is well made, has good shape, and has a nice crisp texture.

  • Tuna Baguette

    Great tuna baguettes and coffees.

    Travis Thai

  • Earl Grey Chiffon

    The Tiramichu & Earl Grey Chiffon in particular are fantastic and totally worth queuing for!

Before you head over

Essential advice on queue timing, takeaway seating, and seasonal pastries—check the website to plan your visit.

  • Time Your Morning Arrival

    Queues frequently form and snake around the street, especially between 11:00 AM and noon, though the counter team moves patrons along in 10 to 20 minutes. Arrive near opening at 7:00 AM or after 1:00 PM to secure high-demand bakes before batches sell out.

  • Plan for a Hyde Park Picnic

    The bakery operates strictly as a takeaway counter with no interior or exterior tables and chairs. Follow the local ritual by carrying your boxed pastries, baguettes, and coffees straight across the road to the grass and benches of Hyde Park.

  • Track Rotating Monthly Specials

    In addition to everyday staples, the kitchen produces ambitious monthly specials that draw devoted followings and disappear fast. Check the bakery's website before heading over to preview the latest seasonal menu and plan your order.
