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.
Two bakeries make this list, and both are in West Footscray: Inner West Swedish Bakery on Barkly Street and Cupcakes by Paolo on Ashley Street. That is the full count, so there is no padding.
Each was checked at its own site plus the Australian Good Food Guide, OpenStreetMap or both. This page prints hours for one of them, and the entries say which.
