Silo Bakery - Kingston

Visit Silo Bakery and Cafe for some of the best breads and pastries around. Located about ten mins drive from Canberra CBD in the trendy little area of Kingston, it’s worth the trip. Their Artisan bread and pastries are made in store and are pretty popular, so be sure to get there early. It’s a small spot with minimal decor and only a few tables to eat at, so it’s best to grab what you want as takeaway.

This bakery is located on Giles Street and a short walk away from our accommodation in Kingston. There was quite a queue to buy the baked goods but it moved quite quickly. I had looked online already to see what was available and there was quite a range to choose from. The service is friendly and efficient. There are tables and chairs both inside and out if you wish to consume your goods immediately especially if you wanted a coffee too.<br/ <br/ Although I would’ve loved to try a savoury item I knew we were going out for breakfast later in the day so stuck to the sweet items. I chose a couple of the individual tarts. The Vanilla Brûlée had a lovely custard filling in a great pastry shell. Apple Almond had slices of apple on top of an almond frangipane filling. Again the pastry was short and delicious. The Pear Galette has crisp pastry and nice glazed pear on top. <br/ <br/ Worth a visit here but better to get here early so you don’t miss out on your favourites!

Even the cold pain au chocolat had impressively flaky pastry, while the sourdough baguette seemed heavy enough to fell a horse but was quite fluffy even the next day. I heard the coffee was also good but I won’t believe that in Canberra unless I try it myself.
