Wellington Cakes and the Bondi Rd, Bondi food village
1 March, 2008
Hey there, Tony here to talk about my favourite Bondi bakery. Formerly known as Wellington Cake Shop, today I popped in to try to pick up some strudel and kugelhopf, and they had sold out. No wonder, these are the most popular items, plus their teriffic savoury bagels, plain and poppy seed varieties (just add smoked salmon, cream cheese and fresh chives to their poppy seed bagels, just delicious) Next door is a fruit and vegetable market, which also sells fresh flowers. A few doors up is Kemeny’s supermarket and liquor store. This little stretch of Bondi Rd is one of the food villages I was referring to previously, there are seriously good stores here folks, so drop by and wander around. Anyway back to the bakery, here are the items I’d recommend you try:
- cheese pockets, cream cheese or sour cherry strudel, chocolate kugelhopf
- bon vivant (chocolate slice), Gesztenye Puree (Chestnut Puree - it’s in the freezer)
- cheese sticks, pretzels, plain and poppy seed bagels
Head up to Kemeny’s supermarket for one of the finest wine selections in Sydney, plus a great deli section.
Parking’s a challenge here, so aim for Wellington St or Waton St where there’s a small car park.

Hey there, Tony here with a few pointers as to suburbs in Sydney to visit. Having grown up in Sydney, initially I would not venture far from my own area, plus trips to the city for special occasions. Now its become clear to me that Sydney is a city of villages. For good quality food, everyone will have their favourite local, but why don’t you venture out to another suburb, believe me, delights await.
Last post I talked about Sydney’s South East, and there’s more talk about there, but I would also recommend the following areas, and in future posts I will highlight a few places at each area that I love to go back to. So off you go, to:
- Leichardt and Haberfield
- Crows Nest
- Lakemba
- Newtown, Enmore and Glebe
- Petersham
- Bondi
These are just a few areas that come to mind. Happy exploring and stay tuned for reviews of key places.
