Our Sydney Hot Cross Buns Eating Journey: 7 Places We Went For This Easter

It's Good Friday. Have you bought the hot cross buns for this Easter Holiday yet? If not, oh well it's too late to buy from bakeries, but maybe you can try DIY some in your home kitchen like us.

To be honest, we started our hot cross buns hunting 2 weeks ago when all bakeries just started to sell them. However we couldn't stop eating so we ended up finishing over 10 buns from 7 different places even before Good Friday. On the bright side, we get to tell you how we liked them and we definitely know what to buy again for next year.

So, here we go! From 7 to 1...

7 Easter Hot Cross Buns We Had This Year in Sydney

7. Bakers Delight

various branches

Bakers Delight's Hot Cross Buns is certainly a delight. They are soft gooey with lovely mix of spice & nice.

6. San Antonio Sourdough Bakery

349 Darling Street, Balmain, Sydney

Handful solid deliciousness. The Hot Cross Buns are fantastic warmed up with butter.

5. Organic Republic Bakery

98-100 Glenayr Avenue, Bondi Beach, Sydney

What revolution! Loved the Hot Cross Buns, very well balanced and solid delicious bun, love the chewy texture. We could eat them all day.

4. Bake Bar

67 Frenchmans Road, Randwick, Sydney

Bake Bakery never fails producing deliciousness. We're stuck between the regular and gluten-free versions so we got them both. Surprisingly, the gluten-free one is really good!

3. Black Star Pastry

C1, 85-113 Dunning Avenue, Rosebery, Sydney

Packed flavours with Spice and very Fruity. The bun texture is a win, it was a very good bite from start to end. Awesome Easter gift boxes too, perfect to gifts.

2. Sonoma Bakery Café

2/9 Danks Street, Waterloo, Sydney

Sonoma close to our heart, one of our favourite Hot Cross Buns, I WANT MORE!!! Very very good bun, nice balance of flavours, good chew.

1. Adriano Zumbo Patisserie

296 Darling Street, Balmain, Sydney

Zumbo Patisserie the most imaginative, creative and delicously dangerous flavours. The Classic solid good num. The Chocolate Cherry very very nice and the game changed Salted Caramel MIND BLOWN!!!

Oh don't forget the special cute bunny cake from Zumbo as well. Easy to eat not too sweet.

There you go! Have a lovely holiday. Cheers:)
