Ugly Bread Bakery

Carlton Street's got a bit of everything these days, but Ugly Bread stands out because they actually care about what goes into your loaf. You'll walk in and immediately get that yeasty, warm bakery smell — the real deal, not a pretend artisan vibe. The space is unpretentious; you're there for the bread and coffee, not the Instagram backdrop. Their sourdough is the main event, proper fermented and with actual flavour, but the pastries and seasonal specials are worth investigating too. Coffee's sourced properly, pulled with actual skill, and pairs brilliantly with whatever you grab from the counter.
