Established in 2012 by Brenton Lang, Rustica on Chapel Street has earned a reputation as one of South Yarra’s go-to destinations for artisan bread, pastries and café dining. Every product is crafted on-site using traditional sourdough techniques and premium ingredients, from savoury croissants and morning buns to the ever-popular signature crullers. This is more than just a bakery - it's a bustling café open seven days a week, offering both dine-in and grab-and-go options made fresh daily. Start your morning with chilli scrambled eggs or the indulgent lobster Benedict; swing by for lunch and enjoy grilled prawn tacos with slaw, tomato salsa, avocado, coriander, lime and sriracha mayo, or a hearty open steak sandwich with spicy tomato relish, seeded mustard aioli, Comté cheese and fries.
