This website preview has been exclusively prepared for Hills Cafe & Bakery
Founded on a love of great food and community, Hills Cafe & Bakery has been a Victoria Street institution since it first opened its doors.
Hills Cafe & Bakery started as a simple idea: serve the kind of food you'd want to eat every morning, made with care, in a space where everyone feels welcome. Founder John brought that vision to life on Victoria Street, turning a corner cafe into a beloved Darlinghurst ritual.
Everything is made fresh each day — the croissants are baked before dawn, the sourdough loaves are proofed overnight, and the kitchen team arrives early to make sure your first meal of the day is worth getting out of bed for.
John opens Hills Cafe & Bakery on Victoria Street, Darlinghurst — a neighbourhood spot focused on good coffee and honest baking.
The cafe quickly becomes a regular haunt for Darlinghurst locals — morning regulars, freelancers, families and everyone in between.
An expanded bakery program brings fresh sourdough loaves, croissants and house pastries — baked on-site from scratch every morning.
Word of mouth grows the loyal following, with hundreds of glowing reviews praising the food, coffee and welcoming atmosphere.
Still going strong — open every day from 6am so the community always has somewhere to start their morning right.
We source the best local produce and specialty coffee beans — no shortcuts in the kitchen.
We remember your order. We know your name. That's what a neighbourhood cafe should feel like.
No day-old pastries here. Everything is baked fresh each morning before the doors open.
We're part of this neighbourhood. We support local, hire local, and give back to the area we love.
