All Are Welcome – one of Melbourne’s most popular bakeries – has hit the trifecta.

Its Northcote and Thornbury locations have been joined by a third, in Ivanhoe East.

“We are a neighbourhood bakery, and [East] Ivanhoe Village really has that rare feel of a neighbourhood,” owner Boris Portnoy tells Broadsheet about the decision to head further into the north-east. “It’s also very close to Northcote and Thornbury, so making a third kitchen to do some specialty items and move things between all three will work well for us.”

Plus, “We have the best neighbours,” he says. “The best wine bar [and] shop, Vinoshis, is right next door.”

Unsurprisingly, the new store is fast becoming a neighbourhood fave – with its organic sourdough loaves, hulking sausage rolls, and rotating selection of classic and lesser-known pastries (sprawled out over a curvy stainless-steel countertop, which you can perch on the other side of). The space has warm timber floors and a halo-shaped light.

Since opening on Northcote’s High Street in 2017, All Are Welcome has garnered a loyal local following. So much so that it opened a couple of kilometres up the road – on High Street in Thornbury – in mid-2020, to service the next suburb over. And, in 2021, Portnoy also opened peerless wine bar Gray and Gray in the longstanding former lawyer’s office next to his original Northcote bakery.
