Update: Bourke Street Bakery will open its Jersey City shop on Saturday, December 3 from 8am to 4pm. The bakery will be open daily with extended hours coming soon.
Signage is up for the new Bourke Street Bakery Jersey City location. The bakery’s first Jersey City storefront will be located in in the base of the recently opened Hendrix tower at 180 Morgan Street.
Owner and chef Paul Allam opened the first Bourke Street Bakery in New York at 15 East 28th Street in May of 2019. Since then, the bakery has garnered a cult following and expanded across New York City to Grand Central, Chelsea, and the Upper West Side. Allam is known for his classic Aussie meat pies, lamb/almond/harissa sausage rolls, shakshuka danishes, and his sourdough breads.
The bakery’s unique Aussie menu has also helped it make it onto countless “best of” lists and was named one of the 15 best essential New York bakeries by Eater.
Bourke Street Bakery Jersey City is the latest Aussie import to open in Jersey City. It’s joined by recently opened Wattle Cafe, which is located less then a block away. The bakery is currently hiring for its Jersey City storefront.
