Lightly toasted with salted butter, a hot cross bun is a must for all Aussies during Easter! We’ve got the list of Canberra’s best buns, made traditional or with a twist. Make sure you get yours before they’re gone for another year!
Three Mills Bakery
Three Mills Bakery seems to be mastering every baked goods item they set out to create, and hot cross buns are no exception. Keeping things simple, this year they have decided to stick to the classics, offering just the traditional hot cross buns, done really well.
Sonoma Bakery
Putting their own spin on the beloved hot cross buns, Sonoma has stamped their signature ‘S’ on all their hot cross buns, dubbing them not-cross-buns. Refining the traditional recipe to include a unique blend of raisins, cranberries, apricots and candied oranges, they promise they taste better than ever! Or if you’re looking for something more decadent, try a hot cross bun ice-cream sandwich drizzled with hot Sonoma Salted Caramel Sauce.
L’epi Artisan Bakery and Cafe
For those south of the bridge, French inspired L’epi Artisan Bakery and Cafe has 3 types of HCB’s up for grabs – traditional, chocolate, and traditional gluten-free. They’ll be open over the Easter break, baking fresh buns on site for you to stop in and pick up. Make sure to pre-order online to avoid missing out!
Under Bakery
Prepared with all the flavours to fuel your nostalgia, Under Bakery’s Easter buns are glazed to perfection. Making sure the tradition doesn’t lose its charm, get your Easter orders in before they are gone after the holiday.
Danny’s Bakery
A local favourite, Danny’s Bakery has quite the rep for their fluffy, hand-rolled buns, so big they need two hands to hold. Make sure to get down to Narrabundah to see what all the fuss is about.
Knead Bakery
Knead says, why change the classic? Head into their bakeries daily for the perfect traditional hot cross bun just how you like it. But get in early, they won’t last long.

Wildflour Artisan Bakery & Cafe
Fresh, fluffy and just waiting for you to take a bite, it wouldn’t be Easter without a hot cross bun from Wildflour. You bet they’re made fresh daily and sell out before each day is out!
