Queen Victoria Market Cake Shop

The best bakery in the Queen Vic Market! That sounds like a paid plug but I can never find anywhere that beats this stall on the corner of the baked good (and cooked food) aisle inside the market hall. I once lived off their walnut bread for two days straight, which wasn’t the healthiest thing to do but dang that bread is goo-​ood.
The bread selection aside, this is the place for little treats and cakes. Try the poppy seed horseshoes — U-​shaped, sugary pastry wrapped around a dense poppy seed filling. My mouth is watering!
Being a bakery, it often closes a little before the other stalls in the market and if you want the full range of breads they bake then I’d suggest getting there earlier in the day. Otherwise they do have the quantity to look after their many customers right up to closing time.
