Wildlife Bakery - Kurunjang

Excellent cafe, serving amazing cakes and bread. Friendly service and a nice space. Possibly one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommended.

This place is a haven for anyone who loves the bliss of eating a high quality pastry or loaf! The attention to detail and selection of high quality ingredients is evident in both the taste and look of their products. Will definitely be back to sample more goodies

This large and light filled spot is perfect for breakfast, bread, coffee or pastries. I love the simple and rustic yet innovative menu. Everything is pretty reasonably priced and fresh but hearty. The $13 egg, creamed greens and onion baguette is very crusty with just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. Coffee is also very nice.

This bakery cafe in the backstreets of Brunswick is an absolute hidden gem. Not your usual style of bakery, Wild Life has a large open warehouse feel with windows into the kitchen so that you can see the bakers at work. With it's white walls and open front, there is heaps of natural light making this a gorgeous place to dine.<br/ <br/ It gets quite busy, especially on weekends; but if you are lucky, you will score a table and be able to dine in. There are tables indoors and out, as well as stools at the counter. Staff are friendly and always happy to suggest what is good. The shelves and cabinets overflow with delicious breads, pastries and cakes; all of which are such temptation.<br/ <br/ Meals are also cooked in the kitchen, but we've only ever been here for coffee and cake. They really are irresistible, all hand made and just so tasty. Beautiful flaky croissants, gigantic choc chip cookies, delicious fruit tarts and amazing moist cakes. Every time we come we try something different and have yet to be disappointed.<br/ <br/ The pastry is flaky and buttery. The cookies are full of molten chocolate pieces and the tarts have perfectly short pastry. The apple crumble cake was such a pleasure... we devoured it in minutes.<br/ <br/ Coffee is also excellent and goes perfectly with these sweet treats. Wild Life Bakery is well worth seeking out as it's a beautiful spot to enjoy some fantastic food and coffee, or simply pop in to grab some takeaway treats to enjoy at home.

I found out about Wild Life Bakery the way plebs unaware of Melbourne’s latest advancements in sourdough found out about it – through this effusive Broadsheet review about its famed baguette with egg, creamed greens and onion jam. While it didn’t, in itself, sound that exciting, I believed the writer when he wrote: “it sounds downright boring on the menu, but then you bite into it and feel like Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris discovering a national treasure”. I wanted to feel like Nick and Ed when they discovered god knows what in a blockbuster film I’ve actively steered clear from for no apparent reason other than ambivalence.
