About Loc Highway Hot bread and cafe

Loc Highway Hot Bread and Cafe is a Vietnamese-run family bakery in Blaxland, on the highway heading up towards Katoomba, with free parking at the back and a car park that's easy for wheelchair access. It's a simple, welcoming place with seating, so you can take your order away or settle in with a coffee.

Pies are the draw for plenty of people. The potato pie comes up more than anything else, often with chopped steak through it, and the mushroom pie has its own fans. Fresh from the oven is how locals describe the baking, and there's a good spread of cakes, tarts, slices, lamingtons and vanilla slices alongside. One regular goes for an apple Danish and a coffee most mornings.

The other big name here is the banh mi. The classic pork roll is the one people rave about, with crisp, fresh bread, generous spring onion and flavoursome pate. The bread rolls are softer than the average bakery's and topped with sesame seeds. Cheese and spinach rolls get a good word too.

The coffee is Vittoria, and one customer rates it highly, though we've heard that taste varies on that one. Staff are friendly and quick, and prices are generally seen as good value, though one local grumbled about the cost of sauce sachets.

It opens early on weekdays, which suits commuters from the station across the road, but check the hours before you head in.
