Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

Crispy Inn Bakery

@ 203 King Street, Newtown

Morning, noon or night, the Crispy Inn Bakery is here to serve. It's a 24/7 bakery that serves coffee, sweets and bread all baked and brewed on the premises. The staff are sugar sweet and exceptionally helpful. Upon going in once asking for some soy and linseed bread, the lady looked up saw a loaf and told me it was from yesterday whereby she proceeded to check the back to see if a new batch had been made. She returned to tell me that unfortunately one had not and to return the next morning for a freshly baked roll instead of trying to flog the old one my way. Yes, regardless of when you visit the food here will be fresh and have that homemade feel to it. So if you're ever craving something sweet at 2am in the morning, there's only one place to go.
