Bourke Street Bakery expands to Barangaroo South

Bourke Street Bakery has confirmed they will take up space at Lend Lease’s Barangaroo South project on Sydney harbour.

Bourke Street Bakery will be located in the development’s Lime Street Shops precinct.

“For us, Barangaroo seemed like the perfect location as it capitalises on the CBD position with strong population numbers and it also enjoys a connection to Sydney Harbour,” Bourke Street Bakey co-founder Paul Allam said.

“We’re not trying to replicate our Surry Hills store, but we will bring a sense of familiarity to our Barangaroo store when we open mid next year.”

Paul Allam and David McGuinness, both baker/chefs, began Bourke Street Bakery in Surry Hills in 2004.

The original store, for which the company is named, has become a cult favourite with Surry Hills locals and those from afar who appreciate quality coffee and the finest in baked goods.

Bourke Street Bakery has grown to over six stores with expansion plans for two more and employing circa 120 staff across the company.

McGuinness and Allam met when they worked at Brasserie Bread in Banksmeadow in 2002.
