The Sconery

I ordered a Victoria sponge cake for my partner’s birthday and it was honestly perfect!! The cake looked beautiful, was fresh and generously filled, and the sponge was light and fluffy without being dry. The balance of cream and jam was spot on, not overly sweet, just really well made. The whole experience was smooth from ordering through to pick up, and the Jason and the team were lovely and helpful. It made the birthday feel extra special and everyone who tried it commented on how good it was/best Vickie sponge EVER!!! If you’re after a celebration cake that tastes as good as it looks, I can’t recommend The Sconery enough. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Jason is so passionate about his scones & it shows as they are DELICIOUS!!!! I particular enjoyed the savory scones. The jam & cream are the best. I placed a large order & when I collected them they were all still warm. Our work breakfast was a success thanks to Jason & his wonderful team. I’ll be back for all his other bakery items!!!! Thanks

Updated comment - so sorry to hear of your loss. It's unfortunate you weren't able to take the proper bereavement time off as a small business. Deepest condolences 🙏 _______ I want to open by commending the owner's exceptional responsiveness; their communication back to me in Canada was very unlike other Australian establishments who often failed to respond. I was trying to make this bucket list trip special for my husband. ​Regarding the meal: The assorted homemade salads were the superstar (5/5), but the main items were mixed. The meat pie (2.5/5) was surpassed by superior, less expensive pies elsewhere in Sydney, containing minimal meat or vegetables and being primarily loose gravy. The pastry was quite dense as well- perhaps we were just unlucky with the distribution of content within the pie. The scone (3/5) also lacked a light, flaky texture which I have experienced in other areas of the world. The overall taste was okay however the texture and the sheen we're a bit unusual - also note that you have to pay separate for cream and jam if you should so wish. The shortbread cookie (4/5) was solid but could have used some salt offset the sweetness. The shortbread and other cookies were exceptionally well priced. ​While the owner was present and acknowledged our visit (made on foot in very poor weather immediately after getting off of the plane- 40 min walk), we were served by the associate. It would have been nice for the owner to be more warm as opposed to continuing to sit at a side table visible to us but not formally greeting us as first time customers from abroad. Perhaps he was working on something very pertinent but it left us feeling a little bit underwhelmed after such an initial great response by email. Regardless, their associate was exceptionally obliging and helpful and a delight to deal with..... Overall experience 3/5

An absolute must visit! A friend recommended The Sconery to me and I’m so happy he did. As a fan of scones I don’t know how I’d missed this place for so long. The scones are big fluffy and so delicious. I also tried the cheese and spinach tart and it was excellent. The service was exceptional. Jason even spent a good time answering my questions about scones and helping me understand how to make them with such beautiful smooth tops. What a legend. And it’s right next to a lively kids park so perfect to bring the little ones. I highly recommend this cafe!

In a relatively hidden corner of Chippo, this is an amazing find for a cafe. Their desserts, especially the signature cheesecake, and of course, the Scones are amazing. Great value for money as well, as the scone was just $7 including the jam and cream and the cheesecake(which mind you was a big slice) was just $8. Definitely a must visit if you're looking for a dessert cafe that isn't too heavy on the wallet yet provides an amazing taste. The location itself makes it feels like we stumbled upon a golden treasure!!!

Such amazing scones — fresh, soft, and so tasty! The owner has a fantastic sense of humor and makes you feel so welcome. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I had a lovely surprise! A hidden café in a quiet and pleasant spot... with the exquisite spring afternoon sun, the best homemade Scottish shortbread. Incredible, fresh Vitamins juice, and the glass couldn't hold any more. Very fair prices... a place I would highly recommend! Next time I'll come back with my book to try the menu.

As tourists, we love finding the cute little neighborhood gems and the Sconery fit the bill. So much so that we ate here 3 of the 4 days we stayed in Sydney. The baked goods were amazing, the breakfast sandwiches amazing, the coffee was amazing. And the owner is so nice and easy to chat with- you can tell he enjoys what he does. Highly recommend!
