Greek bakeries & cake shops
Melbourne is often described as having one of the largest Greek communities outside Greece, and Oakleigh, Brunswick and Marrickville keep the bakery traditions alive: spanakopita and tiropita, koulourakia biscuits, custard-filled galaktoboureko and honey-soaked loukoumades.
Before you go
These are the bakeries and sweet shops we identified as Greek. The list is built from each shop’s name and the details recorded in open map data. If a specific requirement matters (allergies, certification), call the shop before you go.
