Nos. Bakehouse

You can see former fashion buyer Susan Koh’s designer’s eye in Nos. Bakehouse. There’s the lovingly thought-through fit-out, with its vintage furniture and light fittings, carefully arranged framed pictures on the dining room wall, and winsome garden setting out back. It’s also in the immaculate cakes and super-fluffy, mini yamagata-style sandos the cafe is producing out of its cosy Annerley Road premises.

There are five varieties of sando: brulee egg mayo, ham and cheese toastie, tuna mayonnaise with caramelised onions, ebi prawn with mayo, and chicken tender with mayo. All are relatively small one-handers served with the baked bread’s top still intact, the prawn and the chicken fried katsu-style with a panko crumb.

On the dessert menu there’s French toast made with the same sando bread and served with baked Japanese milk pudding and fruits, a yuzu brulee cheesecake, a twice-baked chocolate cake with creme anglaise, and ube (Filipino purple yam) cheesecake. For drinks there’s a lavender iced matcha and iced latte, and a Basque iced long black, where cheesecake is served atop a coffee and torched, brulee-style. Elsewhere, there’s a selection of teas, juices and chai. Espresso and specialty coffee is fuelled by Sydney’s Five Senses.
