Bondi has a new Israeli-style Shuk bakery on the block and it’s anything but ordinary.
From the brains behind café/restaurant Shuk and Popina Kitchen Yoni Kalfus, Erez Beker and Ariel Hefer have opened Shuk Bakery, down the road from Shuk Bondi.
The bakery was borne out of both the demand for their baked goods and pastries, as well as requests for wholesale items.
Kalfus told Broadsheet that at the Shuk store they were sold out of pastries by 9.30am on a Saturday morning.
The bakery will lend itself to more experimentation than the café/restaurant, with a lot more Israeli bourekas (a savoury pastry) being made. There will also be stuffed baguettes in a variety of flavours, one being the CALT—a baguette stuffed with chickpeas, avocado, lettuce, tomato, vegan aioli and coriander.
Sweets will be big on the menu as well.
“One of my favourites is Italian dulce de leche with coconut cake and Italian meringue on top—it’s pretty insane,” Kalfus told Broadsheet.
