Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Five bakeries, sorted by what each one publishes. Two are in Elsternwick, two are in Ripponlea and Wood Frog Bakery is at 421-439 Glen Huntly Road.
Each place was matched against OpenStreetMap, its own website or the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG). This page prints no menu prices, so the quick table says where, not how much. Hours appear only where a source lists them.
Bagels or sourdough, pick a lane and read on.

Elwood Sourdough — 24 Riddell Parade, Elsternwick VIC 3185
OpenStreetMap maps Elwood Sourdough as a bakery on Riddell Parade, and its own site prints the address as 24-26 Riddell Parade, Elsternwick. This page prints no hours or prices for it. Sourdough is bread raised with a fermented starter instead of packet yeast.
Go for: a sourdough stop on Riddell Parade, with hours to check on the bakery’s own site first.
Aviv Cakes & Bagels — 400 Glen Huntly Road, Elsternwick VIC 3185
Aviv’s own site lists Monday to Friday from 7am to 4pm and Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 1pm. It gives the address as 400 Glen Huntly Road, while AGFG prints 412 Glen Huntly Road, so we use the number on the shop’s own site. The name says cakes and bagels, and that is the pitch.
Go for: a weekend morning, since the site lists Saturday and Sunday hours that finish at 1pm.
Zelda Bakery — 54 Glen Eira Road, Ripponlea VIC 3185
Zelda Bakery’s own site prints its address as 54 Glen Eira Rd, Ripponlea, and AGFG and OpenStreetMap list it there too. This page prints no hours or prices for it. It is one of two Ripponlea bakeries here.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
