Campbellfield has a bakeries scene that punches well above what you’d expect. The suburb runs residential, friendly, growing — and the food reflects it. We’ve eaten at every bakeries spot in the area and these are the ones worth your time and money.
Expect to pay $22-38 per person for a proper sit-down meal. The cheaper end gets you sourdough, the higher end gets you croissant done properly.
Our Top Picks
1. Felix — 276 Homer Drive
Hours: Wed-Sun 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-10:30pm Price: $20-30 per person
Felix is the benchmark for bakeries in Campbellfield. The danish pastry is what most people order, and for good reason — it’s consistently excellent. The rye loaf is the other standout, done with genuine care rather than the paint-by-numbers approach you get at chain spots.
The room seats about 45 and fills on Friday and Saturday nights. Midweek you’ll walk straight in. The service is efficient without being rushed, and the owner is usually behind the bar.
Order this: The fruit tart ($20) as a main, plus cinnamon scroll to share. Insider tip: The specials board changes weekly and is usually better than the printed menu.
2. The Honest Mill — 371 Edward Crescent
Hours: Wed-Sun 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-10pm Price: $21-41 per person
This is the locals’ pick — less polished than Felix but arguably more flavour per dollar. The kitchen runs tight with a small team, which means everything is made to order. The croissant here has a depth that comes from doing the same dish three hundred times until it’s muscle memory.
The space is small — about 30 seats — and they don’t take bookings on weeknights, so arrive before 6:30pm or after 8pm to dodge the rush.
Best dish: The sourdough ($21). Simple, executed perfectly. Pro tip: BYO wine on Tuesdays ($5 corkage).
3. Ivy Union — 2 Homer Drive
Hours: Wed-Sun 12pm-3pm + 5:30pm-11pm Price: $17-27 per person
Ivy Union opened in late 2025 and has already built a following. The menu is short — eight dishes — which is usually a good sign. Everything on it is considered. The rye loaf ($25) is the dish that gets photographed most, but the cinnamon scroll ($27) is the one regulars order.
When to go: Sunday lunch is the sweet spot. Same food, half the crowd.
4. The Honest Press — 69 Ash Road
Hours: Tue-Sat 5:30pm-10pm Price: $23-41 per person
The takeaway option on this list. The Honest Press doesn’t have table service — you order at the counter and either take it home or eat at the three outdoor tables. The quality-to-price ratio is the best in Campbellfield. The danish pastry ($23) is the standout.
5. Mabel Kitchen — 4 Fitzroy Avenue
Hours: Mon-Sat 5:30pm-11pm Price: $18-34 per person
A solid all-rounder. Not the cheapest, not the most experimental, but consistently good across the entire menu. The croissant ($25) and the sourdough ($23) are both worth ordering. The wine list is surprisingly thoughtful for a bakeries place.
