Why Choose Bowra Bakehouse?

Bowra Bakehouse turns out fresh pies and pastries that draw visitors from surrounding towns and beyond. The mock cream apple turnovers and cheese-and-bacon scrolls are standout lines, and locals appreciate the friendly service and fair prices.

About Bowra Bakehouse

Bowra Bakehouse is the bakery in Bowraville that people will happily drive for. We've heard of folks making the trip from Woolgoolga just for the mock cream apple turnovers, which one local called smooth and not gritty at all, and visitors from as far as Melbourne have come away wishing they'd bought a second bag of scrolls.

Pies are what most people bring up first. They come out fresh and hot, with cheese and bacon and steak among the ones mentioned, and one person grabbed a couple and ate them down by the river. One local found the steak and kidney filling on the tough side, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

Beyond pies, the bakery turns out fresh bread, pastries, scrolls and custom cakes. Wholemeal rolls and simple chicken and mayo sandwiches get a good word too. Everything is takeaway, and the pricing is often described as fair for what you get.

The service is a big part of the appeal. Locals mention the friendly ladies behind the counter, and the old country feel suits the town. It's busy for a quiet place, so expect a few people ahead of you.

There's a wheelchair-accessible car park, and cards and tap-and-pay are accepted. The bakery posts hours across the week, including mornings on weekends, but check before you head in if you're coming late in the day.
