It has been eight months since Petersham bid farewell to its iconic 1950s-style diner Daisy's Milkbar. And while they were always going to be big shoes to fill, the suburb might just have found a worthy successor in the Stanmore Road site's newest resident, The Sunday Baker. A cheery bakery cafe with a striking pink facade, this one's helmed by a mother-daughter-daughter trio and it's specialising in fun, feel-good food. Inside, you're greeted by an upbeat pastel colour palette, with an offering of brunches, lunches and signature sweet treats to match. Floral bouquets top the tables, while the words 'you bake me happy' adorn one wall. It's the suite of house-made baked goods that takes centre stage here, with creative options like golden Gaytime cupcakes and Iced VoVo-inspired mini cakes beckoning from the front cabinet. That said, you'll find plenty more tempting creations on the all-day cafe menu, from maple baked beans served with coconut yoghurt and savoury granola, to the 'Boujee B&E; roll featuring smoky tomato relish and Japanese mayo on a soft milk bun. There's also a raft of fun choices for pint-sized diners, and dishes aplenty for vegan and gluten-free guests. This newbie is throwing some serious support behind its inner west producer fam, too, showcasing locally-made wares right throughout the menu. Keep an eye out for brined delights from I Made A Pickle, artisan tea by T Totaler, relishes and jams courtesy of Dulwich Hill's Drunken Sailing Canning, and coffee from Newtown-born roasters Campos amongst them. Find The Sunday Baker at 340 Stanmore Road, Petersham. It's open Tuesday to Sunday, from 7am–4pm.
