Food & Dining

On the Great North Road in Sydney’s waterside suburb of Wareemba, a new icon is rising; Martha's, a boutique bakery set to draw pastry pilgrims from across the city, where specialty coffee brews, pastries rise and the kitchen hums long before the doors open. 

At Martha’s, sweet and savoury creations are elevated through a Mediterranean lens, shaped by the flavours and spices the bakery team grew up feasting on. A bold and balanced menu awaits, with a selection of laminated pastries displayed on suspended racks from classics like buttery croissants, cinnamon scrolls, custard tart with a silky creme anglaise offering the familiar favourites that pastry lovers know and love. 

Alongside these sit Mediterranean-inspired morsels, such as the twice-baked almond croissant infused with cardamom and subtly balanced with the floral sweetness of rosewater (mawared), or the earthy yet tangy zaatar knot with tahini dipping sauce and the deep umami-rich nduja eggplant & basil.  

The sweet menu features decadent treats, from olive oil citrus cake to fudgey double chocolate brownies, and earl grey black sesame or brown butter choc chip with sea salt cookies ensure there’s something for every palate. 

Martha’s savoury sandwiches are crafted on a mix of hand-made rolls, loaves of sourdough, and rosemary focaccia. Highlights include the spiced kafta lamb roll layered with caponata, tangy tzatziki, and fresh rocket, the chook is filled with roast chicken, tomato, avocado smash, and butter lettuce on sourdough and the counter stack is piled high with salami, mortadella, pesto, stracciatella, and basil oil on focaccia. 

Alongside a specialty blend barista menu, a nutmeg citrus cold brew brings an aromatic twist to coffee rituals, while the house-made blackberry matcha and maple brown butter iced oat latte available on tap offer coffee alternatives that are equal parts rich and refreshing.

“Our menu is about staying true to our roots and identity, but also having fun with the classics that people know and love,” says Paris Nassif, Martha’s owner. “With the bakery, we wanted to create a place where people could slow down, savour something, and feel that sense of renewal — a place to rise again each morning,” says Nassif.  

Martha’s is open Wednesday to Sunday, 6am–4pm at 312 Great North Road, Wareemba. Customers can savour the menu in the 20-seat café, from cosy banquettes to curb-side tables and a standing espresso bar, or take it home to enjoy on the go.
