Husband-and-wife duo Michael and Pippa James founded Tivoli Road Bakery in 2013 and ran it for six years. Now, they’re back with Urbanstead, “a play on farmstead or homestead; a place to connect, share, learn and grow together”, explains Michael. The warehouse space will stock and sell goods from local makers but the main attraction is the impeccable baked goods.

Bread is naturally fermented over several days and shaped by hand, and pastries undergo a three-day lamination process to develop texture and flavour. Highlights include Lard Ass butter croissants; black garlic and cheese scrolls; pork, apple and fennel sausage rolls; and onion-rosemary focaccia. The space also hosts workshops, pop-ups and Sunday classes that bring the community together around the bench.

Signature item: Wholegrain galettes ($9.50) such as strawberry-rhubarb, and broad bean, potato and gribiche, baked fresh throughout the day.
