Candied Bakery

A cheery inner west bakery that's as sweet as its name suggests, Candied is the work of Orlando Artavilla and Toula Ploumidis: the duo who first brought us Brunswick cafe Sugardough.

At this Spotswood spot, you'll find a tempting lineup of house-made treats inspired by what you'd find in bakeries across the USA, Europe and, of course, Australia — all made with plenty of local, organic ingredients, too. There's a variety of breads, sausage rolls and rustic pies primed for lunchtime appetites. But for many, the main event is Candied Bakery's decadent sweet selection of cakes, tarts, pastries, slices and doughnuts, plus homemade soft serve ice cream — making it one of the best bakeries in Melbourne.
