Pottery Green Bakers (Gordon - SYD North)


Well, amongst these years, I count my blessings that my family can all afford to spread our wings a little, to enjoy the various experiences without needing to worry. So as another weekend trip to Sydney wraps up, Mumsie and I could take the time out to go cafe-exploring, heading over to this new place that seems to have great reviews!

Pottery Green Bakery is seemingly tucked into a quiet corner of St John's Avenue near Gordon Station, but I predict it will only get busier as the renovation and upgrades to Gordon Station gets completed, and people pop on over to enjoy their morning coffee and pastry en-route to their morning commute to Chatswood & the City.

PCB has another location Lane Cove (well, judging by what's written in their menu), and I hope it looks a little like this place.



Walking in to the dimness, the eye is drawn immediately to their pastries cabinet, the coffee machine, signboards, and their cupboard of pies! *cues Stop and Stare*... one just stops and stares at everything that is on offer.

Walk on in, ask to be seated at a table, and grab a menu off the coatrack... actually, the menus are all in the shape of a coat-hanger, so they literally hang down near the coffee machine, so remember to snag one on the way through!



The noms are coming!

Mumsie had made a pot of Winter-Melon soup (冬瓜湯) before lunch - one of my favourite home-cooked soups... but unfortunately it's bloated my stomach a little. So instead of ordering two mains, we decided to share one meal between the two of us, ordering hot chocolate (Mumsie) and a flat white (me).


The lamb burger would set you back $17, but the flavoursome lamb pattie sitting within a soft toasted bun ought to win you over. Plenty of chips (crunchy edges with soft potato core) in their garlic/mayo sauce rounds it out nicely =)

Verdict 8.5/10
Cosy place, tasty food and good coffee. Pricing is fair for Gordon/North Shore, but might be considered a little more pricey compared to other sectors of Sydney.
