Market 33 · One Starter, 15+ Years Old

Real sourdough.
One proper bakery.

Scratch-baked bread, hand-laminated pastry, and pasties that sell out most afternoons — baked fresh every morning before the doors open.

Our Story

Bake it properly, or don’t bake it at all.

Every loaf starts with the same wild-yeast culture we’ve kept alive and fed for more than 15 years — nothing bought in, nothing shortcut. Market 33 keeps it simple: real flour, long ferments, and nothing rushed out of the oven before it’s ready. It’s why there’s a full board of sourdough on the counter, not just one — dark rye, light rye, spelt, wholemeal, multigrain — each proofed on its own time, not the clock’s.

The pastry case works the same way. Croissants are laminated by hand, scrolls are rolled to order, and the pasty case tends to empty out well before closing. If it’s not worth doing slowly, it’s not on the menu.

Real flour, real time, nothing rushed. That’s the whole method.

How We Bake

Slower than it needs to be, on purpose.

01

Mill & Mix

Stone-milled flour from Laucke, a family-run South Australian mill since 1899, mixed by hand every morning before the ovens are even on.

02

Long Ferment

Sourdough rests and proves on its own schedule — hours, not minutes.

03

Hand-Shape

Loaves shaped, scrolls rolled, pastry laminated — all by hand, every batch.

04

Baked Fresh

Everything sold today was baked today. Nothing held over, nothing reheated.

From Our Regulars

Word of mouth built this place

We are very lucky to have this gem within walking distance. The pasties are brilliant, full of veg and a touch of mince. The bread is wholesome with thick crunchy crusts. Supermarket bread is rubbish, full of preservatives. Nice to find a traditional bakery with healthy products.

Phil Hildebrandt

Fantastic little local bakery with delicious pastries and sourdough. 🍞

Kate Fraser

Their bread spelt and dark rye is so good. Pasties and cakes are delicious.

I stumbled across this little hidden gem tucked away on a side street in Glenelg. The charm of the old building instantly caught my eye — simple, unpretentious, and full of character. The service was warm and welcoming, the food straightforward yet delicious, and the coffee spot on. There’s nothing fancy or over the top here, but that’s exactly what makes Market 33 so special.
