Founded in 2002 by Michael Cthurmer, The Grumpy Baker provides residents of Sydney a niche marketplace, where the artisan bread is more “cheesy” and less “vinegar.” Many in the area rave over the warmth and flavor of the baked goods that taste better with each and every bite. By day, the eatery serves as a charming cafe, but at night, it turns into a bustling restaurant with a superb wine list. It’s noted for being family-friendly, with a kids’ menu that will delight the pickiest tots.
