Yum Yum Bakery Concord
Nearly four decades after it first opened in Western Sydney, the legendary family-run bakehouse has landed in the Inner West.
Overview
After 35 years of serving soulful Lebanese food from its hand-built masonry oven in Guildford, Yum Yum Bakery has unveiled a second home in Concord. The new flagship showcases Yum Yum's creative approach to classic Lebanese flavours in a polished fitout with a state-of-the-art kitchen, and the same warm hospitality that's made it a community go-to since 1989.
Founded by Lebanese refugee Toufic Haddad and now run by his son Najib, Yum Yum leans into tradition but isn't afraid to break away from it. Many of the recipes and baking methods remain unchanged from Haddad Senior's time at the helm — and these classics take equal billing alongside decidedly next-gen creations.
On the menu, you'll find highlights like golden haloumi spring rolls drizzled with honey, lamb shawarma tacos and Yum Yum's signature woodfired awarma and egg manoush, with its gently spiced, full-flavoured minced lamb confit. There's also a generous spread of brunch platters made to share. It's all prepared with meat from a halal-certified butcher and a commitment to the handmade, heartfelt approach that's defined Yum Yum from the start.
The breezy Concord site features indoor-outdoor seating, a private dining room and sleek finishes by B Spaces and Regera Group. Fans of the original will recognise the same flavours and heart they've known from Guildford — but no doubt Yum Yum is set to win over a legion of new fans as it enters its next chapter.
