Pioik Bakery Pyrmont

This gets me up in the morning: kimchi, provolone, chili croissant ($12 each - quite pricey but it’s different and so tasty). My colleague is raving for their almond croissant too - will try later. Coffee has been good and consistent since the first days they opened up shops. They also sell really good sourdough bread and some other interesting things in their menu.

Almond croissant: all the croissant I had in the past are fake. Frangipane fill me up easily.Focaccia: (without topping or filling) I had it the second day, toasted. Nice but not as special as people said. Would give it another go after Xmas.

Tried once and love their product. I was a bit confused about bakery short opening hour, 7-11 am only. And the fact they do not sell coffee to company their beautiful pastry.The price is definitely not cheap but still reasonable. We bought plain croissant and chocolate croissant for 16 dollar.

These may be the best pastries I have ever had, and I am so excited to go back as they change up their offerings all the time.We got the twist ($6.50) - I adore that there's not just cinnamon but turmeric (you can't tell from the exterior but the dough is yellow), cardamom and vanilla which gave it such a well-rounded spicedness, bringing to mind curry in the best possible way. The pastry layers in their viennoiserie are so sharp and well-defined and so crisp, so buttery and full of butter flavour without feeling weighed down by butter. And the twist, in particular, was so perfectly golden-brown all over and practically crunchy on the ends, you'd question whether or not it was actually deep-fried.IG: @shazlikesponiesI highly prefer tarts and Danishes where the fruit is baked in rather than added as a garnish post-bake because caramelised fruit (and veg) is magic. Hence the whole apple nestled within the apple Danish ($6.50) sparked joy. Love the gorgeous shape of it too.The scrambled egg foccacia ($16) was also fantastic. There was potato, there was chilli (plus shishito peppers on top), there was silky soft butter-scrambled eggs - freshly scrambled to order, of course - such an amazing idea. Only thing (which I'm not even sure I don't like) was some of the potato slices were a touch too dry and crunchy - I might've preferred them tenderer?Also, side-note: they ask if you want your pastries reheated, and that's something I really love. Why yes, I would love my pastries restored to their optimum as if freshly pulled out of the oven! A small thing that makes a big difference to me :)

Great food. Not great service. Visited twice and service on both occasions felt self entitled by the thin, black hair and short lady. Baked goods are good though so if you disregard the service, its fine to come back. I had lime croissant$12.5, chocolate almond croissant $9.5 and custard tart (this one was good!) $7.5

An amazing Egyptian bakery in PYRMONT.Delicious pastries and a unique and delicious breakfast offering. Their banana bread is absolutely fantastic!Coffee is great too and friendly staff keep me coming back over and over again!Highly recommend!

Phenomenal food and coffee. They make their own almond milk and it was delicious. I've never tasted any coffee like that in my life - and I mean that the best way possible. I had an egg sandwich, almond croissant and Danish for breakfast. The pastry and bread were outstanding.They are also a venue who are taking the COVID safe approach very seriously (hence the no cash as per the very unfair below review), & are rightfully following all the recommended approaches meticulously. I'm happy to pay a tap-n-go % surcharge that equals 50¢, to limit the risk of a COVID outbreak in my country & to help keep a small business afloat.

Best almond croissant in Sydney and I've had a lot of almond croissants in Sydney. Amazing fresh panettone. And their focaccia is mind-blowing. Highly recommend this bakery.

The best croissant in town and good quality epporo and other sourdough. Love ❤️ it!!!
