Baker (Full Time)

We’re seeking a qualified baker with 1–2 years of experience, a positive attitude, and a genuine passion for artisan baking to join our team at our Collingwood bakery. This role would suit someone who enjoys working with long fermentation, naturally leavened doughs, and traditional baking methods, while being part of a supportive and collaborative team environment. You’ll be involved in shaping, mixing, baking, and helping produce the breads and baked goods we’re known for — with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and craftsmanship.

Happy 1st Birthday to our EBV store!

This Friday, we’re celebrating 1 year at EBV and we wanted to say a huge thank you to the incredible community that has supported us since day one.

To celebrate, we’ll be giving away a FREE mini croissant to the first 100 customers with a coffee purchase.

We feel very lucky to be part of such a welcoming, supportive and vibrant neighbourhood, alongside so many amazing local businesses and friendly faces we now see every day.

Thank you for helping make EBV feel like home. We can’t wait for many more years to come.

See you Friday!

We’re Hiring – Full-Time Baker 🍞

To Be Frank is on the lookout for a qualified full-time baker to join our growing team. We’re after someone with at least 3 years of hands-on experience in a bakery, a love for great bread, and a solid understanding of fermentation and artisan baking techniques.

If you’re passionate about working with high-quality ingredients, value craftsmanship, and want to be part of a team that’s serious about good bread — we’d love to hear from you.

15/07/2025

Evening bread runs, sorted.

Starting Monday 21st July, our East Brunswick Village shop will now be open until 6pm from Monday to Thursday.

We know it’s not always easy to get your bread fix during the day — so we’re keeping the doors open a little longer to help you swing by after work.

☕ Coffee will be available from 7:30am to 3pm only, but we’ll have a few sweet treats on hand for the evening crowd too.

Did someone say cheesecake?

Fresh loaves and good vibes — now available a little later.

A little update from us…

After much thought, we’ve decided to step back from the Alphington Farmers Market. With the recent opening our East Brunswick Village shop, we’re finding we just don’t have the capacity to keep up with both.

We’re so grateful to the Alphington community and the incredible market team for all the support over the years. It’s been a huge part of our journey, and we’ve loved being part of your Sunday mornings.

You can still find all your favourites (and plenty of new things too) at our shops in Collingwood and East Brunswick Village. Come say hi!

04/06/2025

Exciting news… we’re going 7 days!

Starting next week — right after the King’s Birthday Public Holiday — our East Brunswick Village shop will be open every day of the week.

🕒 New EBV opening hours:
Mon–Sat: 7.30am–3pm
Sun: 8am–3pm

Collingwood’s hours will stay the same — closed Mondays & Tuesdays.

Even better? You can now preorder online for pick-up at our East Brunswick Village location — just head to our website and select EBV at checkout.

Thanks for your patience as we roll out these changes. We’re so excited to bake for you all week long.

29/05/2025

Thank you. Seriously.

We’ve been blown away by the support, the friendly faces, the early risers, the pups keeping our benches warm, and everyone who’s popped in just to say hi.

Opening a new bakery is no small feat — but you’ve made these first few weeks feel like something really special. We’re grateful for every coffee ordered, every loaf carried home, and every moment shared in the sun out front.

This is just the beginning — thanks for being part of it.

We’ve retired the classic pain au chocolat… and made way for something bolder.

Introducing the Chocolatine — our triple-chocolate reimagining of a beloved classic. This pastry is crafted with cocoa laminated into the dough, filled with batons of 65% Amphora dark chocolate, and finished with a sprinkle of cocoa nibs for added depth and crunch.

The chocolate comes from , one of Melbourne’s finest bean-to-bar producers. Dennis, Kylie and their team craft their chocolate in small batches using sustainably sourced, single-origin beans from around the world — and it shows.

The Amphora itself is made from Gran Palo Blanco beans, grown in the Piura region of north-western Peru. The result is a 65% dark chocolate with bright summer berry notes, layered with hints of rum and raisin, and a smooth, deeply chocolatey finish.

Now available at To Be Frank Collingwood and East Brunswick Village — a pastry made for true chocolate lovers.
