Wild Life Bakery

This bakery was recommended to me by a friend, and it didn’t disappoint. Since I had eaten early, I tried the fermented chilli, garlic, and cheddar twist. It was good, though I think the pastry would be even better if it were warm. I love the aesthetic of the cafe. The glass panel allowed customers to see the kitchen in action, which was a nice touch. I’ll definitely be returning for more!

A hidden gem tucked away in a quiet residential pocket.. this sandwich bakery serves up some of the best toasties in Melbourne! While there was a bit of a queue, the service was quick. The sandwiches were freshly made, packed with flavour, and absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. And to top it off, the coffee was excellent... smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. Well worth seeking out if you are in the area!

The lovely lady at ready frames reccomened this place for coffee and baked goods. It had such a great vibe lots of locals coming and going . The service was solid just a lot going on.The portuguese tart was the best I have had in a long OMG.::The coffee was good.. my long Mac was little long .. but I am very fussy.. and my partners cafe late was weak for his liking… but overall such a hidden gem in East Brunswick…we will be back when back in this hood

i tried the focaccia & it was great - although i agree with the other reviewers saying it would probably be even better warm! good value as the slice was huge. friendly service & good seating available too. nice to see that they had sweet & savoury vg friendly options.

Great sourdough, but I’d steer clear of the coffee. I honestly can’t believe this is coming from someone who was once at Market Lane — how could Huw allow his baristas to serve coffee like this? I saw a latte being served with almost 40% froth and the barista making pour-over just splashed the water in a rush carelessly with no technique. I’d give the coffee a 2, but the bread deserves a 6. The sourdough is truly among the best in Melbourne. The toastie especially — with its pronounced tang, chewy texture, and moist crumb — is outstanding.

Plain Croissant Beautiful layers, but they don't reheat it so a bit hard to eat and can't enjoy the butter fragrance fully I bring my own tumblr but after payment I am confused because they say later. Turns out, they will call your name and then pour the drink directly into tumblr. They have indoor heater since the dining area is open, but i think it was too strong. I feel like my face is burned after sitting for a while.

Although I have not been to Wild Life just yet, someone offered me a fresh box of their Hot X Buns and I was amazed at how delicious they were! Super fluffy, moist, delicious, and not too sweet. Love your product team, see you soon for an in store experience!

Yum! We popped in today for lunch and were super impressed with both our food, the service and space here at Wild Life. I had the egg and chive sandwich which was so so good and Stacey got the mushroom toastie which she has proclaimed as the best she’s had in Melbourne. I scored a few bites and can agree it was delicious 🤤 The coffee was delightful, service was warm and friendly and there were lots of in house sauces and picked goods to buy take away. We loved it sitting at the big communal table inside and will easily be back to try more of the tasty menu here ♥️

This came as a suggestion I think off of the socials perhaps Instagram or YouTube. After we visited one of the art markets nearby we took an Uber over to the bakery. The outside patio was full and included some very cute dogs. Inside was also very busy and there was a queue lining up at the counter. A lot of pressure to make a decision in a short amount of time since we weren't familiar with the menu, etc., so I had to grab the menu and try to figure out what we were going to order, especially since it was late in the day, and there were not many baked goods left in the case. We opted for a flat white and a Matcha latte. We took a seat at the interior wooden table area, which was rather dirty and strewn with used drinkware. When the drink was ready, they called my name, I did return to the line to order a croissant. It was fluffy and tasted good. Service was pretty friendly overall. Seems like street parking is your only option. Very dog friendly. Probably would want to arrive earlier to get the best selection of breakfast and baked items.

This is my standby for meeting friends old and new close by my house. It's a large lofty type space with high ceilings that somehow managed not to feel cavernous. Lots of natural light from the north-facing front glass wall. Staff are a diverse mix if people always ready with a smile and time to chat about the menu or give their opinions on the slip of the day. Food-wise, lots of vegan and veggie options, but also have a great lamb shank shakshuka. The sourdough bread, baked on premises daily, is the best we've found in town (even downtown in the CBD) - we drop by sometimes just for a load to take home, and I've basically stopped buying supermarket bread unless we're in a real pinch and know Wild life is already closed. The place is also super pram-friendly for those with tiny family members. But, again, big enough that everyone has enough space to enjoy their meal or coffee.
