About Yankalilla Bakery

The essential Cape Jervis road-trip pit stop, Yankalilla Bakery turns highway hunger into hot, flaky pastry and quick barista pours. Road warriors plot their morning smoko around the pie warmer. Bypass standard fare for the peppery steak, rich beef and Guinness, or adventurous tom yum chicken encased in golden pastry. Plant-based travelers get dedicated vegan pasties with ingredient lists posted right on the glass. The glass display changes daily—locals point straight to the Kitchener buns, custard Berliners, and dense caramel slice. Pair it with an espresso or a chai latte before tackling the last stretch of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

  • Adventurous Savory Pies: Spicy steak and pepper, beef and Guinness, and tom yum chicken bring heat to flaky, golden pastry.
  • Nostalgic Bakery Sweets: The glass counter rotates daily with regional Kitchener buns, custard Berliners, and rich caramel slices.
  • Vegan & Dietary Range: Plant-based road trippers find dedicated vegan pies and pasties with clear ingredient lists.
