Oasis Bakery

The verdict

A bakery, cafe and grocery store in one, Oasis Bakery in Murrumbeena is a must for all Melbourne food lovers. Originally a Middle Eastern bakery, Oasis has now transformed into a mecca for groceries and all things food thanks to the cafe and grocery store that's also located on site. While the breakfast options are drool worthy, it's the Lebanese sausage roll (lamb kafta mixed with haloumi, nuts and berries, wrapped in wholemeal pastry) and homemade baklava with Nutella and chia that really gets us excited…don't be surprised if you become addicted!

The Middle Eastern grocery section on the other hand is your one-stop-shop for all your pantry items including Turkish bread, dips, lentils, nuts, sweets and more. It's also the place to pick up the ultimate gourmet hamper or a copy of Oasis Bakery's new cookbook Yallateef! featuring page after page of modern Middle Eastern recipes. Need some help with cooking those recipes? Oasis Bakery can help with that too - they even have a cooking app plus regular in store cooking classes to help you perfect your skills.
