Let's break bread.

From South Yarra to Brighton.

Founded in 2012 by Brenton Lang, Rustica began as a small artisan bakery and café in Fitzroy, driven by a passion for handcrafted sourdough and exceptional baking.

Today, Rustica stands as one of Melbourne's most respected bakery-café brands. Our flagship South Yarra location offers guests a unique opportunity to watch our skilled bakers and pastry chefs at work in an open, light-filled space. Renowned for innovative brunches, signature sourdough loaves, flaky pastries, and expertly curated specialty coffee, we blend timeless techniques with modern hospitality.

Our dedicated wholesale bakery in Footscray supplies premium artisan breads, pastries, and Grab & Go items to leading cafés, restaurants, wineries, grocery stores, catering companies, and venues across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.

At Rustica, we remain committed to slow fermentation (36–48 hours), sustainable practices, and sourcing the finest local ingredients. We value authentic partnerships with like-minded businesses that share our dedication to quality, tradition, and exceptional customer experiences. Rustica is proud to be a cornerstone of Melbourne's vibrant café culture.
