The Grumpy Baker Has Opened a Brand New Deli and Gelato Joint
A shiny new gelateria and walk-in cheese room in one spot. Egads.
You may have noticed The Grumpy Baker bakery chain expanding Sydneywide (they’ve just opened their fifth store in Maroubra), but the Vaucluse cafe has recently landed itself two delicious new siblings. In the most mouthwatering venue sandwich ever, The Grumpy Baker is now flanked by gelati store Coppetta and Bazaar Deli.
As if that’s not enough choice for local Vauclusians, in the coming months The Grumpy Baker will undergo renovations for a genuine Middle-eastern wood fired pizza menu. Lord, give us the strength to choose or the expansive stomach required to nom it all.
The concept for all branches of the Grumpy Baker family is, well, families. It’s a family-run enterprise owned by Michael and Deborah Cthurmer and aims to accommodate families of all sizes as well as support the local community of producers. The Cthurmers have a knack for opening up shop in areas that aren’t renowned for their eateries and creating a food community based around paddock-to-plate ideals.
Coppetta and Bazaar Deli are no different. At Copetta, all gelato is made on-site with biodynamic milk and shifting seasonal produce with some intriguing results such as lavender honey brulee and toasted marshmallow. The Bazaar Deli is also a treasure trove of locally produced wonders and a walk-in cheese room (walk-in cheese room: your new bedroom goal).
Check out The Grumpy Baker and pals Coppetta and Bazaar Deli at 767 Old South Head Road, Vaucluse.
