Bakerman - Erskineville

I don't know why this place has such terrible reviews and a poor rating. It's actually quite good! Service is completely fine and food is tasty and reasonably priced. Milkshakes are great! Coffee isn't the best, but other than that I don't think it deserves to be rated so low. If you think Bakerman has bad service, just head up the road to Shenkin. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Delish, lovely service yummy food. Very gluten friendly and lots of veg options

An excellent range of delicious things for breakfast. Great coffee and are soon to be open until 11pm. They seem to have nailed the niche in the village. Really recommend the sausage rolls (pastries look great too).

Decided to give the cafe another chance with new owners. We were delighted to find the coffee was of high standard and the homemade pie was exceptional. Poached eggs on fresh Turkish bread companied with good service.

As a local of Erskineville for the past 10 years I give this place a try every 2 to 3 years and every time I come away extremely disappointed. Never again!Ordered for lunch the schnitzel with chips. Schnitzel extremely dry and without taste, pretty sure due to it's uniform size it's pre manufactured and they just heat it up. String chips tasteless, and salt shaker empty. Coleslaw contained grated apple that had gone brown, probably out too long. Totally bland and uninspired. With so many new great cafes opening up in Erskineville I think this venue's days are numbered. I can only imagine it still remains busy because it's outdoor setting in the small plaza area
