[Eat & Drink]() Bakery [Mornington]() # Sourdough Kitchen A small-batch sourdough baker at the top of Mornington's Main Street, long-fermented loaves, a tight pastry line, and the best bread in town. Known for Long-Fermented Sourdough Loaves Morning Buns Tight Pastry Line Top of Mornington Main Street +61 3 5975 7600 Why we’d go The Mornington baker that wine-room people quietly recommend when someone asks where the best bread is, bread-first, small room, loyal locals. Sourdough Kitchen is the Mornington baker that wine-room people quietly recommend when someone asks where the best bread in town is. The loaves are long-fermented, the crust is proper, and the tight line of pastries in the cabinet, croissants, morning buns, a Danish or two, is pitched at people who actually care about the detail. The coffee is good. The room is small. The locals are loyal. This is a bread-first shop, and that is its charm. Buy a loaf, a couple of pastries, and something to drink from the bottle shop around the corner, and you have the bones of a Peninsula picnic. The morning bun is what sells out first, it routinely goes before 11am on weekends, which is a reliable indicator of how good it is. Go early on weekends, the morning bun is gone by eleven.
