Let’s find it
24-hour bakeries
A bakery open around the clock is rare, and most of the ones that do exist are institutions: the late-night pie stop for taxi drivers and nurses, the 24-hour hot bread shop on a highway, the CBD spot that serves the after-party crowd.

Frequently asked questions
Are 24-hour bakeries open on public holidays?
Usually, but not always – some close on Christmas Day. Call ahead.
Is everything fresh at 3 am?
Overnight bakeries often bake through the night, so you may find bread hot from the oven before dawn.
