Baker D. Chirico

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the daily bread donations to the Royal Children's Hospital - your kindness truly means the world to us! My daughter is currently a cancer patient here, and she loves nothing more than waking up to your sourdough with jam. Your kindness does not go unnoticed, so grateful for small businesses like yours that make a difference in our community. Huge shout out to the amazing team at Baker D. Chirico! Not to mention the bread is spot on - crusty tangy sourdough and the fruit loaf is also delicious, loaded with juicy fruit. Will defo visit and try the other pastries and pies when I get out of here. ❤️

Really glad I found this bakery in Melbourne — genuinely satisfied. The girls working front of house are super friendly and attentive. The design of the place and the packaging are also worth appreciating. As for the food — I absolutely love it. The new items they bring out are always delicious. I’d highlight all their sourdough breads, and from the savoury options, the beef pie is a standout — the filling is excellent — and the veggie quiche is great too. The sausage roll is pretty good as well. I do miss the pickle beetroot sandwich and the chicken sandwich — both were amazing and I really hope they bring them back. On the sweet side, I’d highlight the hot cross buns — really good — and the Earl Grey pain au suisse. The pastry on the danishes is incredible too. I’d honestly try everything if I could. One thing I’d definitely request is for them to bring back that chocolate special they did for Valentine’s Day — it truly deserves to be a permanent item. Hope this review helps others — I’ll definitely keep coming back to try more and enjoy a coffee next door.

This is just review of their pain au chocolate… which is disappointing, especially for $6-7. Barely there chocolate bar / inside (unlike the one that I had in another bakery) and I bought this yesterday and had it this morning, it already felt like eating a stale bread. Not much butter, not crunchy… just meh. Ive eaten a 2-3 day chocolate croissant before that has been squished inside my bag and that one still tasted better than this. I also bought some chocolate cookies from this place before and they were very disappointing chocolate cookies. Should have learn my lesson. Never again.

It was raining heavily today and I was drawn into this bakery while passing by. The young lady at the counter was very friendly and introduced the breads to us. The bread was also delicious! Highly recommend this bakery:)

Look at this piece of art! I am going to try everything they serve one day. Their bakery is one of the best here in Melbourne so delicious!

I got the chocolate croissant to go. It was a good chocolate croissant but didn't taste a step above what you get at a lot of other bakery shops making a chocolate croissant. Maybe more butter would make it more flaky and amped up the flavour profile.

The mushroom brioche was amazing. I like mushrooms but only as a side flavour like topping on a pizza but for it to be one of the main ingredients I was hesitant but pleasantly surprised with how well it shone and came together in this brioche. The almond croissant was probably the best I have had to date. Most I have had tended tough or dry but not this. Even the ends of it was soft and delightful. The prosciutto role tho was a let down. The bread was just too tough and it’s was just plain in terms of flavour… maybe this is how is supposed to be ?
