Junee Bakery

If you're passing through Junee and want a proper country bakery stop, Junee Bakery offers a solid local option. Pies are the main draw here, and people who've been talk about them being fresh, generously filled and served piping hot. The breakfast pie gets a particular mention: a beef mince base with a bacon and cheese roll on top and a cooked egg through the middle, which one local called luxurious. The selection of pie flavours is on the short side, so if you're after a chunky steak pie it's worth knowing that going in.

Beyond the pies, the sausage rolls and bacon and cheese rolls come up for being fluffy and loaded with smoky bacon. Salad rolls, cheese rolls and freshly made sandwiches and toasties are also on the counter, along with cakes and slices. Banana cake and chocolate cake get called moist, and one regular rates the long johns and caramel chocolate eclairs as favourites worth trying. Coffee is made on site, and most people find it good, though one visitor thought it a bit weak.

Prices are a big part of the appeal. Locals check in with them fair, and one traveller was pleasantly surprised to get a quality pie and sauce for under the price of a coffee in most cities. The staff are friendly and helpful, which counts for plenty in a small town.

The shop itself is no-frills, with a few tables out the back, and one visitor found the fit-out tired and the choice thin late in the morning. If you want the fullest cabinet, going earlier in the day makes sense.

You can dine in or take away, and the entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible, with free street parking nearby. Cards and mobile payments are accepted. It's a weekday bakery, so check the hours before you head in.
