A1 Bakery began in 1992 as a small, family run Lebanese bakery on Sydney Road, Brunswick. Specialising in traditional Lebanese bread, manoush, pizzas, pies and Middle Eastern groceries, it quickly became a local favourite, filling a gap in Melbourne’s food scene with authentic Lebanese flavours and warm hospitality.
By 1997, demand for A1 Bakery’s fresh Lebanese bread and baked goods had grown so rapidly that a dedicated manufacturing plant was opened to supply its signature breads across Melbourne. In 2002, a second location followed in Dandenong, earning recognition as ‘Best Shop’ the following year.
Today, with locations in Brunswick, Fitzroy and Highpoint, and a pop-up at RMIT, A1 Bakery continues to serve fresh Lebanese food made daily. From manoush and cheese pies to wraps, pastries and a curated range of Middle Eastern groceries, it remains a go to destination for Lebanese food in Melbourne.
Though the business has grown, A1 Bakery remains proudly independent and family-led, with a strong commitment to quality, consistency and community that has defined it since day one.
