#1000 Bread

#1000 Bread is a bakery on Swanston Street in Melbourne CBD that brings together European baking traditions and Asian-inspired flavours. Its range covers freshly made bread and pastries, with the bakery placing particular emphasis on traditional methods, small touches of innovation and products made without preservatives. The result is a selection designed to be eaten fresh, whether you are picking up something for breakfast, taking a pastry break while exploring the city or looking for a loaf to share.

The bakery’s named best sellers include coconut loaf, creamy sultana baguette and egg tart. The coconut loaf is described as moist and tender, with desiccated coconut through the crumb and a moderate sweetness. The creamy sultana baguette combines a crisp baguette with a rich sultana spread and a hint of rum. For something more delicate, the egg tart pairs a flaky, buttery shell with a smooth custard filling. These options give the range a mix of sweet, rich and textured bakes rather than focusing on one style of pastry.

There is plenty beyond those featured items. #1000 Bread lists croissants, baguettes, bagels, pretzels, brioche, focaccia, hearty loaves and other pastries among its Eurasian bakery selection. The business says its bread and pastries are made fresh daily with fresh ingredients and no preservatives. It recommends eating products soon after purchase for the best taste and texture, particularly items containing cream or custard; refrigeration for up to two days is suggested when longer storage is needed. The bakery currently identifies its plain baguette as its only vegan option.

With its broad mix of familiar European bakery forms and Asian-influenced flavour combinations, #1000 Bread suits a quick solo purchase, a sweet stop with friends or a selection to bring back to a group. The range also makes it easy to choose between a simple loaf, a filled baguette or a pastry-style treat.
