Sanctuary Point Bakery

If you're after a bakery in Sanctuary Point, this one is a proper everyday stop for bread, pies and a decent coffee. It works as a classic bakery and cafe in one, so you can grab takeaway or sit in for breakfast, and everything is made fresh through the day.

Pies are the headline. The chicken curry pie is one to try, and the sausage rolls, bread rolls and loaves get plenty of love too. One regular who's been coming for many years calls it the best bread, pies and sausage rolls around. The bread has a crusty outside and a soft middle, and the croissants have been described as light and fluffy. Cakes, tea cakes and custard tarts fill the cabinet, and you can order a custom cake if you're planning an occasion.

The pork rolls have a following of their own. It's known as the number one spot in the Bay and Basin region for Vietnamese pork rolls, and there's a good run of filled rolls, toasties and salad options if you want something more substantial. Coffee gets a thumbs up as well, and the iced coffee in particular has its fans.

It's popular, so expect a queue at busy times. The counter moves fast, and the advice we've heard is to decide what you want before you step up. One local found the sandwich bar service a bit brisk, and one found it on the pricey side, but the food is what brings people back, and the staff are often described as friendly.

Getting there is easy. There's a free car park with a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance, and you can pay by card or tap. It's closed on a couple of days each week, so check the hours before you head in, especially if you've got your heart set on one of those pies.
