  • Hearty Pies and Artisan Breads

    Freshly baked everyday staples, from crusty artisan loaves to customer-favourite hot savoury pies with distinctive toppings.

    We got a loaf of bread, cut just how we wanted, a donut- which was incredibly soft and just so good, and the best potato top pie I've had since moving to Australia.

  • Charming Heritage Bakery Atmosphere

    An authentic bakery atmosphere highlighted by the scent of warm dough and charming traditional cuckoo clocks sounding throughout the shop.

    The final bonus are the cuckoo clocks kindly set to go off one after the other. You will love it.
