Set an early alarm for Bicton’s quiet temple of wild-yeast fermentation and deep-baked sourdough. Regulars start lining up well before midday for the dark, caramelized crusts and chewy open crumb on the signature loaves and sourdough pebbles. The kitchen laminates starter-infused croissants with paper-thin flakiness, while the counters rotate garlic bread, crunchy vanilla slice, and lunchtime BLTs. Pouring steady batch brew coffee, the crew keeps things moving briskly before the racks are stripped bare.

Jessica Wong Signature Specialty Loaves for Weekend Spreads
Specialty sourdoughs like the olive loaf, farmhouse sourdough, and rye caraway make Hunter Bread a go-to anchor for entertaining and cheese boards.
I make a 30 min drive every weekend to get their olive sourdough and whatever treats they have prepared.

most beautiful sourdough, highly recommend the Olive Sourdough. Perfectly soft, not over cultured and the best part is the loaf is still easy to cut the next day

Fabulous loaves, chocca full of flavour, soft crumb and delicious, caramel-dark crust. I can recommend Hunter's signature farmhouse sourdough

Jessica Wong vanilla slice
hands down, best vanilla slice ever available at Hunter Bread. Not too sweet, crunchy pastry cooked to perfection.
Peter Mapstone garlic bread
the garlic bread is heavenly. You can tell immediately that the butter used at Hunters is top quality and used sparingly with just the right ratio to garlic
John. R Connington feta cheese croissant
got a feta cheese croissant with seeds on top - somehow it gave middle eastern vibes. Very yummy and original.

Beyond the menu

Sourdough-Cultured Croissant Lamination
Croissants are laminated with sourdough starter and baked until paper-thin and crunchy like glass, yielding layered air pockets with rich buttery depth.
Purpose-Baked Gathering Shapes

Before you head over
Essential tips on timing, queues, and securing fresh sourdough before it sells out.
Arrive Early for the Best Selection
Arrive early in the morning rather than mid-morning or afternoon; most loaves and croissants sell out quickly before 11:00 AM.
Anticipate Morning Queues
Expect a queue outside the bakery door during peak morning hours as locals line up for fresh batches.
Snag Rotating Specialties Promptly
Weekly specialty loaves like olive sourdough and savory items rotate and run out fast, so grab them immediately when available.
