Quinty Bakehouse

If you're driving the highway through Uranquinty and wondering where to pull up for something proper to eat, Quinty Bakehouse is where you'll find people stopping in. It's a bakery in Uranquinty, New South Wales, that does a bit of everything: pies, sausage rolls, sourdough, burgers, pastries and a good coffee to go with them.

The pies are the main event. The curry beef pie comes with a well-seasoned filling and golden, flaky pastry that holds together, and the pepper pie has been mentioned as a favourite too. The sausage rolls have a reputation for big, meaty fillings with no padding. Beyond the pie warmer, the sourdough comes out fresh with a proper crust, and the cabinet runs to custard tarts, vanilla slices and cheesecake tarts. Breakfast is covered too, with a bacon and egg roll that gets plenty of praise, and the burgers and salad rolls have their followers as well. We've also heard they'll whip up a fresh veggie focaccia when options are thin, which says something about the attitude behind the counter.

The staff come up again and again as friendly and helpful, and it has the relaxed feel of a family-style country stop. Prices sit on the fair side for the size of what you get, so the vanilla slice and the sausage rolls tend to be described as generous.

You can eat in or sit outside, grab takeaway, or ask about delivery and custom cake orders. There's free street parking, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and they take cards and tap-to-pay. Kerbside and in-store pickup are on offer too, which suits a quick stop on a long drive.

Hours are generally early starts through the week with shorter hours on weekends and one day closed, so check before you head in. It's an easy detour for a pie on the way to Wagga, Albury or beyond.
