Why Choose Bakehouse Delights?

Bakehouse Delights earns strong local loyalty for fresh pastries, pies with quality fillings and pastry, and a range of traditional bakery fare from crusty loaves to custard tarts. The friendly service and good value on cakes and turnover-style pastries make it worth the stop if you're a local or passing through Nowra.

About Bakehouse Delights

If you're after a bakery in Nowra, Bakehouse Delights is the sort of place locals bring up when you ask where to get a proper pie. A traveller on the road home to Sydney was impressed enough by the chunky steak pie to remember it, and the pastry on the pies gets praise too, though one local would like the bottom crust a little sturdier and the gravy a touch thicker.

The cabinet goes well beyond pies. People talk about the custard tart (not runny, with pastry that still has some crunch), vanilla slices, apricot tart, apple turnovers and a flaky almond croissant that one regular says is fresh every time. There's sourdough and a multigrain Vienna loaf for those who want bread, and jam-filled and caramel-filled donuts that have won over a few passing visitors. Everything is baked fresh, and the early start shows.

For celebrations, they take custom cake orders, and a classic jam and cream sponge comes up as a favourite for birthdays and special occasions. The coffee is good enough to have people pairing it with a pastry, and takeaway is easy.

On value, some find it fair, while one regular reckons the pie prices have crept up. The friendly counter staff are mentioned often, and one person said the team went out of their way to support a local community event.

Getting in is straightforward, with a free car park, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and card and tap payments. Check the hours before you head in, as they open early on weekdays and keep shorter weekend trading.
