A1 Bakery Fitzroy

Fitzroy Lebanese bakery turning out zaatar manoush, halloumi cheese pies and spinach triangles to order

Small, busy takeaway-style bakery on Brunswick Street with Lebanese music, a warm counter crew and limited communal seating. Casual and homey rather than polished.

Baked fresh in view of the counter, items heated to order, barista coffee, Lebanese pantry items and flatbread to take home, mint tea.

Reviewers with Middle Eastern backgrounds say it tastes like home and call it the real deal, while a few prefer the grittier original store on Sydney Road.

Widely praised as cheap for generous serves (a large spinach and cheese triangle for about $5). A card surcharge and weekend surcharge apply, which a few reviewers resent.
