Siblings can be so different. Take Misspelt, a poky Paddington bakery that has pastel-pink tiled benches, a tonne of natural light, and is almost the complete opposite to its grungy, moody older sibling Blackout bakery next door.

Yet proverbial parents and co-founders Eli Rami and Sam Holman (also co-owners of popular wine bar Noir ) are proud as ever of their newer venture, Misspelt. The pair wanted to create a fresh spot for buttery baked goods and took cues from Paddington locals, who told them exactly what they wanted in the neighbourhood.

Those locals got just the bakery they asked for. On the menu at Misspelt, you’ll find a range of bread, from classic and multigrain sourdoughs to blue-cheese baguettes, and loaves of turmeric and kamut (an ancient type of wheat). In the pastry cabinet, you’ll find croissants, pain au chocolat, sweet and savoury danishes, cinnamon scrolls and flaky sausage rolls. Stacks of pantry staples and accompaniments (such as Hive & Harvest honey, Paddington jam and Mount Zero olives) line the shelves on the wall, too.

The tiny venue is largely takeaway-focused, with just a few timber stools and a bench that looks out onto Collingwood Street (the shop doesn’t produce its stock in-house, but instead outsources it to other star bakeries such as Chouquette, Cordelia Sourdough Bakehouse and Farine & Co).

On the coffee side of things, you can order specialty Black Lab coffee from Blackout next door. While you wait for your order, try and choose your favourite of the two siblings.
