Why Choose Miss Lilly’s - Bakery Café?

If you're after a proper pie in Newtown, Miss Lilly's is the bakery locals send you to. The pies come out fresh from the oven with light, buttery puff pastry and fillings that deserve their reputation, the beef, jalapeño and cheddar is the standout, but the steak, mushroom and pepper, and chicken, leek and mustard are equally worth trying. The cakes and sausage rolls are just as good, and the team hand-makes everything in-house.

About Miss Lilly’s - Bakery Café

If you're after a proper pie in Newtown, Miss Lilly's is the bakery locals send you to. It's a bakery café a short walk from St Peters station, and pies, pastries and cakes are what it does best.

The pies come out fresh from the oven, with light, buttery puff pastry on top and fillings that people rave about. The beef, jalapeño and cheese is the one most often named, with enough heat to notice but not enough to make you sweat. Others worth knowing: steak, mushroom and pepper, a chicken, celery and mustard pie that one local called a favourite for its tender chunks of chicken, and a sour cherry pie that isn't too sweet. One visitor from New Zealand said the baking took them straight back to their nan's table. The beef and herb sausage roll gets a mention too, along with croissants with proper buttery layers, quiches without soggy bottoms and mini cinnamon donuts the kids go for.

Cakes are a real strength as well. The lemon curd cake, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and a rich hazelnut chocolate cake have all earned fans, and they take custom cake orders. The pastry is made with sustainably grown Australian flour and all-butter pastry, and the coffee is Black Market Roasters. There are vegan options on the menu, and they also do house-made ades if you want something cold with your pie.

Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the owner is known for being kind and flexible. One customer had to reschedule a pickup because of wild weather and found him very understanding. Another heard that he makes the pies by hand with his team.

You can dine in, with some seating inside and out for watching Newtown's street life, or take it away. Online orders for pickup are available, so allow a day's notice and check timing with the bakery. There's an accessible entrance, free street parking nearby, and they take cards and mobile payments. Check the hours before you head in, as they vary a little across the week.
