Overview
The waterside suburb of Wareemba welcomes a winning new, aesthetically pleasing bakery, Martha's. The bakery offers sweet and savoury pastries created with an ode to Mediterranean flavours, fresh sandwiches and a specialty blend barista menu.
Paris Nassif, the owner of the new spot, says, "Our menu is about staying true to our roots and identity, but also having fun with the classics that people know and love. With the bakery, we wanted to create a place where people could slow down, savour something, and feel that sense of renewal — a place to rise again each morning."
In keeping with the trends of two-tone drinks and creative coffee on tap, Martha's showcases rotating signature drinks. You might be lucky enough to try a blackberry matcha, a nutmeg and citrus or peach and apricot cold brew, or a maple brown butter iced oat latte.
When they enter the shop, customers are greeted by generous racks of laminated pastries. The usual suspects, such as crisp croissants, cinnamon scrolls and custard tarts, sit alongside Nassif's more distinct creations. There is a twice-baked almond croissant with cardamom and rose water, a za'atar knot with tahini dipping sauce, and a satisfyingly savoury eggplant and nduja pastry. There are more substantial options available for lunch, such as a spiced lamb, tzatziki, and caponata roll, a roast chicken sourdough sandwich with tomato and smashed avocado, and a focaccia number stuffed to the limit with salami, mortadella, pesto, straciatella and basil oil.
Martha's eye-catching deep red awning and shining tiles have drawn crowds in from day one, and with an inviting space, quality pastries and enticing drinks, it's fast becoming a neighbourhood go-to.
