Foodcraft Espresso and Bakery

The verdict:

Blueberry and ricotta pancakes, pastries oozing with salted caramel, and yes, that milkshake. A thick, heavenly dose of milky goodness topped with a Nutella-filled, sugar-coated doughnut. Erskineville’s Foodcraft Espresso and Bakery are the brains (and hands) behind all these sweet-gloriously-sweet artisanal delights.

But that’s not all. This café – slash – bakehouse puts together a rather sizeable savoury menu, boasting Scotch fillet steak sandwiches, thick-cut, beer-battered chips, and brekkie foods-galore (they had us at the French toast on brioche with smoked bacon and maple syrup).

And if you’re just after coffee, then the baristas are a thumbs-up here too. This bright, atrium-style space is the perfect spot to enjoy your favourite cuppa. Although we did hear patrons leave with very full bellies and lovely large grins plastered on their face. We’re sure you will too.
