The Fiore Bread team is cherished by the McMahons Point community. It’s known for dark, chewy house-baked loaves of sourdough, whopping sangas on slabs of focaccia, and a homely line-up of sweets.

Its Martin Place kiosk, Fiore Sandwich, gives city slickers a better angle at everything they’re doing. The fit-out is retro Italian: big blue tiles clash with a marble-topped bench, a funky cabinet that makes an excellent argument for lino and a scattering of small tables.

All the bread’s being made on the north side, using the very same sustainable, old-world flour from Gunnedah’s Wholegrain Milling. But all the grab’n’go sandwiches are CBD exclusives – on slices of soft sanga loaf. Sauces and pickles are all house-made, and there are plenty of sweet options and a pair of batch-brew taps too.
