Why it's worth checking out
Loafer Bread is a much-loved bakery on Scotchmer Street in Fitzroy North, one of inner Melbourne's most characterful suburbs. A 4.7 rating from 245 reviews shows its quality baking has built a devoted following.
The appeal is genuinely good artisan bread and pastries — the kind of carefully made baked goods that locals make a special trip for. Fitzroy North's leafy streets and village atmosphere, close to the famous Edinburgh Gardens, make it easy to combine a visit with a wider wander through the area.
Bakery offerings, seasonal items and trading hours change over time, and popular items can sell out, especially on weekends. If you've got your heart set on something particular, it's worth checking current details directly with the bakery before you visit.
