At Backhaus Food Store – the larger counterpart to Airport West’s Backhaus Bakery – find croissants, shortbread, amaretti and 48-hour fermented sourdough loaves and baguettes.

All the bread and pastries are baked fresh daily in the factory, then delivered 10 minutes down the road to the food store. In addition to the staple loaves and cookies found in Airport West, there are grab-and-go items like semi-sourdough focaccia, fresh light rye sandwiches and piping hot fougasse filled with kimchi and cheddar cheese.

An impressive pantry section offers butter, cured meats, Acide pickles, The Apiarist honey from Bendigo and Jam Haus preserves, and you can even pick up fresh flowers when you drop in.
