About Kuma Pies and Pastries

Kuma Pies and Pastries is a pie shop in Cooma, New South Wales, and pies are what locals bring up first. The word around town is that the pastry is thick and flaky, the fillings are chunky, and the whole lot comes out fresh from the oven. The chunky beef is a regular favourite, and the chicken curry pie and the steak and cracked pepper both get a mention too. People who've stopped in on the way through, including travellers coming up from Jindabyne, talk about beef and bacon with cheese or chicken and leek, and about the sausage rolls and sausage roll bites.

It isn't only a pie stop. The cabinet also holds croissants, lamingtons, apple turnovers and a vanilla slice that one customer has rated as the best in Cooma. One person told us the apple turnover was among the finest they'd ever eaten, which is a big call, but it shows how much the pastry side of things gets noticed. Cakes are a regular pick for work birthdays, and one visit noted they look nicely presented.

You can take your order away or sit down. There's plenty of seating inside and some out the front, and coffee and breakfast are on offer, so it works for a proper stop as much as a quick grab. The entrance is wheelchair-accessible, there's free street parking and a free car park nearby, and cards and mobile payments are accepted.

People mention friendly service and fair value for the size and quality of the pies. One visitor was disappointed by some stale cake and a cool welcome. Most of the talk is warm, though, with the owners and staff described as kind and welcoming.

The shop is on Sharp Street, the main road through Cooma heading south. It's open most of the day on weekdays and shorter hours on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
