Overall Impression: 7/10

Dench Bakers is one of the most highly regarded bakeries in Melbourne. A premium stockist for bread, Dench Bakers is a supplier to well known Melbourne establishments such as Richmond Hill Café & Larder, Earl Canteen and Market Lane Coffee.  

The coffee is great and the food is delicious. Simple, to the point and well executed. Our focaccia (salami, pesto, asiago & rocket) and sandwich (pulled pork, rocket & apple sauce) were both delicious.

The desserts were equally as impressive.

We couldn’t go home empty handed so we bought a lovely olive and rosemary loaf and a traditional baguette, both of which were beautiful. 

This little eatery is the perfect place for a Sunday brunch. If the good coffee and food doesn’t win you over, the lovely cost ambience and friendly staff just might.
