Butter Days Bakery

Bakery$

This venue is one of Good Food’s 100 Essential Melbourne Cafes and Bakeries of 2026.

Helmed by chef and baker John Demetrios (ex-Vue de Monde, Omnia), Butter Days brings bright, Scandi-inspired energy to Malvern. The airy, open-plan space flows from a communal front table to a pastry showcase, straight back to a massive marble baking bench. Echoing its sunny logo, the signature sunshine bun − a sweet, round pastry with a golden custard centre – will put a smile on your dial.

Must-order dish: The BMO − “bolle med ost” (bun with cheese in Danish) − a sourdough roll filled with slices of gruyere and biteable butter.
