A1 Bakery Fitzroy

A1 Bakery Fitzroy is a compact Lebanese bakery and takeaway spot at 295 Brunswick Street, suited to a quick lunch or an easy pick-up of Middle Eastern food on the go. It is one of three A1 locations across Melbourne, alongside the original Brunswick store and the Highpoint site, and carries the family-run business’s long-standing focus on fresh Lebanese baking.

The broader A1 menu includes traditional Lebanese bread, manoush, pizzas, pies, wraps, falafel, pastries and platters, with favourites made fresh daily. Zaatar, falafel, wraps, manoush and pizzas are among the offerings highlighted by the bakery, while its catering range includes fresh pastries, mini pizzas, dips and falafel. The website also describes handmade breads and savoury favourites as part of the A1 food truck offering, reflecting the bakery’s wider Lebanese and Middle Eastern style.

For home cooks, A1 also has Middle Eastern grocery shelves stocked with pantry staples and harder-to-find ingredients, including zaatar, olives, tahini, pickles and sweets. These are the same kinds of ingredients used in the kitchen, making the Fitzroy business relevant not only for a ready-to-eat meal but also for shoppers looking to bring Lebanese flavours home. Catering is available for gatherings, office lunches, parties and family celebrations, with orders required at least one day ahead.

A1 Bakery began on Sydney Road in Brunswick in 1992 as a small, family-run Lebanese bakery. As demand grew, the business opened a dedicated manufacturing plant in 1997 and later expanded to additional locations. Today it remains independent and family-led, with the Fitzroy shop offering a convenient expression of that Melbourne bakery story. It suits solo diners and anyone after takeaway lunch, while the catering service gives larger groups a practical way to order Middle Eastern food made to order.
