Why Choose Gumnut Patisserie Bowral?
Gumnut Patisserie in Bowral is known for exceptional pastries, cakes and pies that draw locals and visitors regularly to the Southern Highlands. The pies and sausage rolls are standout items, and the sweet range, including the vanilla slice, banoffee tart and danishes, rivals quality found overseas. Expect a queue, especially on weekends, but the friendly, organised staff and outdoor seating make the wait worthwhile.
About Gumnut Patisserie Bowral
Gumnut Patisserie is the kind of bakery in Bowral that people plan a trip around. Pastry chefs Tracy and Vicki Nickl run it, turning out traditional pastries, desserts, pies and cakes daily, and locals will tell you the pies and sausage rolls are well worth lining up for alongside the sweet things. The lamb and rosemary pie gets a mention, and so do the vanilla slice and the banoffee tart. We've heard one visitor describe the pastry as flaky and fresh from the oven, and another say a few of the cakes would hold their own against anything in Paris.
The sweet side is a real strength. Danishes, almond croissants, apple turnovers, salted caramel tarts and mousse cakes fill the cabinet, and it's hard to choose. Custom cake orders are available if you've got an occasion coming up, and online ordering for collection means you can sort your order ahead of time. If you're after something more everyday, a coffee and a ham and cheese croissant for breakfast go down well, and people say it's good value for the quality.
Expect a queue on weekends. It moves quickly, and the staff stay friendly and organised even when the place is packed. The shop itself is small, but there's an outdoor spot to sit in the sun, and you can dine in, take away or pick up in store. Free street parking is nearby, and there's a wheelchair-accessible car park. It's also LGBTQ+ friendly and identifies as women-owned.
One regular finds the savouries less exciting than the sweets, and another found a chocolate caramel slice too sweet and wished prices were displayed on the cabinet, so be ready to ask. Most people leave happy, though, and the vanilla slice has a loyal following. It's in the Grand Arcade on Bong Bong Street, and it's worth checking ahead.
