Lode Pies & Pastries Surry Hills

This is a good place for enjoying nice pastries and hot chocolate🥰. On weekend usually busy. They have indoor table before- but lately I only see outdoor tables. The place is not big but cute. I prefer to come here on weekdays. 🥐Trulin’s fav: Pistachio, Almond and Raspberry Tart ☕️: Their hot chocolate is mind blowing

Hands down my favorite almond croissant in Sydney!! I am actually a chef, graduated culinary school, worked in professional bakeries, and I have never had an almond croissant this lovely elsewhere! A pop of lemon and orange zest to break up the sweet is such a delight. The prices are a little high, but fair considering the quality! Would come here every week for a lil treat to myself when I lived in the city!

Cute little cafe! My friend & I had their Pistachio Croissant and Raspberry Tart. Both taste so good. The texture was crispy & flaky with a right level of sweetness. The pistachio cream was divine. I also had the ice strawberry matcha. Love it.

Some really nice quality pastries. Pretty much when you’re at the top end, what separates you from the others is the texture and I thought both pie and tart were had a good crispy flaky texture whilst also having its nice flavour as you would expect. Just note this place does not take cash and there was issue with Apple Pay but hopefully was just me. Thankful I brought my physical card to get it sorted. Would be down to try other food items both savory and sweet.

🥐✨ Fourth time at Lode Pies & Pastries and I’m still dreaming about their pastries! I drive from Newcastle just for this kind of happiness 😋🚗💨 Big shoutout to the amazing chef Riccardo 👨‍🍳 – you can taste the passion in every flaky, buttery bite 🧈💛 Every croissant I’ve tried? 🤤 Perfect. The team? So sweet and welcoming 💐 Highly recommend if you’re in Sydney – don’t miss it! 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐 ✨💛🍯☕🍓

Really nice premium pies and pastries. Prices are a little high, but if you consider it “lunch” rather than a pie, then it is reasonable. Very flaky crust with quality meat inside. I actually preferred the bolognese pie to their signature one. But both are very good. Served with a knife and fork if you dine in

OMGGGGGG!!! What I can say about this pastry shop, it was really really niceee~ They made my day 🌈✨ (on rainy day 🤭) I’m the one who doesn’t like pastries 🥐 that much, but this this this !!! PERFECT and I’ll be back for more. There have savory and sweet both are lovely. I thought they would serve only dessert 🧁 but they had wagyu & mushrooms 🥮 I also ordered a yuzu tart🍊it tasted amazing. I will re-order for sure 👍💚 I’m coming back 🔜✔️

✨ Hidden gem alert in Surry Hills! Just found this insanely good bakery – LODE PIES & PASTRIES and I’m honestly still thinking about that flaky pastry 😮‍💨 Tried 3 things and here’s the lowdown: 🥇 Lode Pithivier – legit a must try. Caramel pork + mushroom filling wrapped in the crispiest, most buttery puff pastry ever. Comes with a rich chicken jus that takes it to the next level. So flavourful and layered, I totally get the hype. I got the last one at 1pm – so yep, go early or cry later 💔 🥈 Wagyu & Mushroom Pie – has a red wine sauce and peppy seeds on top (gives a slightly peppery kick). Pretty unique – maybe not for everyone, but definitely worth a try if you like savoury pies with a twist. 🍋 Yuzu Tart – super refreshing at first with that citrusy vibe, coconut flakes + caramel. But gets a bit heavy after a few bites (maybe ’cause I reheated it?). Recommend eating it fresh for best texture! 🍵 Matcha Latte – ngl… kinda disappointing 😕 Couldn’t get it iced, and it tasted powdery + watery after it melted. As a self-declared matcha addict, this one didn’t hit the spot. ⚠️Heads up: • They often have long lines, so be ready to wait or just grab and go (I’d recommend takeaway tbh). • Card only – no cash. • I signed up for membership thinking I’d earn points… but turns out your first purchase only activates the card and you only start getting points from the second visit 🥲 lowkey disappointing. 📍487 Crown St, Surry Hills ⏰ 7:00am–3:00pm ✨ Overall, super worth it – that Pithivier is 10/10. If you’re into flaky pastry and savoury goodness, don’t sleep on this place!! 🥐🔥
