Why Choose Tilba Bakery?
Tilba Bakery is worth the detour for pies that locals and travellers rave about: tender, flavourful fillings in crisp, layered pastry.

The friendly team and casual verandah atmosphere make it a genuine destination stop.
About Tilba Bakery
Pies are the reason people make the detour off the highway to this bakery in Central Tilba, New South Wales. Locals and passing travellers talk about the pastry in particular: flaky, crisp on top, with layers you can see. Inside it you'll find chunky steak and mushroom, curry, butter chicken, a cheeseburger pie with onion, pickles and mustard, and a cauliflower and blue cheese for something meat-free. Sausage rolls, including a pork and fennel one, and lamb rolls with gravy get plenty of love too.
It's a proper mix of sweet and savoury. We've heard good things about the custard and apple pies and the donuts, the golden gaytime one especially, and the coffee holds up alongside the baking. Everything comes fresh from the oven, which is a big part of the appeal, though popular lines like the chunky steak pie can sell out, so earlier in the day is the safer bet.
You can take your order away or sit in the shaded seating out the front, and the setting suits a relaxed lunch in a small historic town. People describe the staff as friendly and quick, and prices are seen as fair for the size and quality. Breakfast is on offer, and the bakery identifies as women-owned. There's a wheelchair-accessible entrance, car park and seating, free street parking nearby, and cards and mobile payments are accepted.
Hours run short and the bakery is closed two days of the week, so check the hours before you plan a trip.
