Nos. Bakehouse & Cafe in Dutton Park has become a neighbourhood hit, serving fresh shokupan and inventive Japanese-inspired dishes since late 2024.
Dutton Park Welcomes a New Favourite: Nos. Bakehouse & Cafe
In Dutton Park, Nos. Bakehouse & Cafe is making waves with its daily-baked Japanese milk bread and creative menu that blends tradition and flavour. Since opening in December 2024, the spot has gained attention for its unique take on Japanese-inspired comfort food and cosy, retro-style interiors.

A Nostalgic Transformation
Located on Annerley Road, Nos. Bakehouse stands in what was once a photo-developing studio. Co-owners Susan Koh and Hank Lyu have turned the space into a warm, inviting café with timber accents and red booth seating. A backyard courtyard offers relaxed picnic-style seating, perfect for casual meetups or solo coffee runs.
Culinary Delights: Shokupan and More
The café’s signature is shokupan—Japanese milk bread made fresh each morning without preservatives. It’s the base for a lineup of sandos with fillings like beef bulgogi, prawn cocktail, and vegan-friendly options such as paprika mushroom. You can also turn any sandwich into a bento box, served with miso soup, salad, and tamagoyaki.

Sweets are just as popular, especially the cinnamon French toast topped with brûléed custard and house-made biscuit crumble, which regulars say is a must-try. Other favourites include yuzu cheesecake, purple potato Basque cheesecake, and twice-baked chocolate cake.
Beverage Selection
Nos. Bakehouse serves coffee using Melbourne’s Five Senses beans and specialty drinks like crème brûlée iced long black and lavender iced latte. Their matcha—sourced from Kyoto—is available with a berry purée or floral foam topping.
You’ll find Nos. Bakehouse & Cafe at 109 Annerley Road, Dutton Park. It’s open Tuesday to Sunday, from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm, and closed on Mondays.
