We dropped by this cafe for lunch. They have a variety of sandwiches, pastries and pie. The vegetarian mushroom pie was delicious. Croissant was nice and flaky while the eggplant baguette had a nice crunch and tasty. Service was friendly and seats were cosy.

It's okay, nothing special borderline didn't like it. Cinnamon scroll was crunchy and dry but the cream cheese filling saved it a bit. Without the filling that was a dry, dense, flavourless Pastry. Croissant pudding did not like at all. It's a take on the bread and butter but done poorly. Dry, flavourless and since it's made into a pudding the croissant looses it's characteristic. Wish could taste like vanilla or anything through it but nothing. Could sub it for bread and taste the same. Cardamom bun was nice, the custard was smooth and had a good cardamom flavour and the Pastry itself wasn't dense but 'bouncy'. Interior is nice and has pie options, maybe should have grabbed that instead of the pastries. Staff was okay.

The pastries here are absolutely delicious, but what makes it even better is the customer service. The staff are always warm, friendly, and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Even though we arrived 5 mins before they closed! — brought it back to Sydney and my family loved them a lot. Will definitely come back for more.

We recently made a 2-hour drive just to visit Bakery Sonoma in Canberra, and it was completely worth it! This place is hands-down one of our favourite spots for a truly memorable treat. The almond croissant is nothing short of perfection—flaky, buttery, and generously filled, it's easily the best we've had anywhere. The Moroccan vegetable roll was another standout: beautifully spiced, hearty, and freshly baked. And the coffee? Smooth, rich, and expertly brewed—every sip was a delight. You can feel the care and craft that goes into everything here, from the pastries to the service. We highly recommend Sonoma to anyone who appreciates quality baking and a great cafe experience. Whether you're local or making a special trip like we did, this place is a must-visit!

Very disappointing. Food all looks great, but really I think they're relying on reputation rather than actually producing truly authentic french pastries. Our experience was: The cappuccino was actually a scalding hot latte, the Pain aux chocolat was more pain than chocolat, and the biggest sin of all was the Pain aux raisins had no crème pâtissière! Great if you just want to eat a lump of shiny pastry with a few raisins. Not impressed.
