Why Choose Atherton Bakehouse?

About Atherton Bakehouse
If you're after a good pie in Atherton, this bakery on the Tablelands delivers. Atherton Bakehouse bakes bread, pies, pastries and sweet treats fresh each day, and it's a busy spot for good reason. Locals will tell you the pies are the main event: chunky steak and cheese, curry meat and a breakfast pie with meat, egg and cheese all feature on the menu. Sausage rolls (the garlic and cheese one has its fans) and a very light custard puff round out the favourites, and we've heard the apple turnover lives up to the hype.
It's more than a pie shop, though. Sourdough is on the menu, and there's a decent spread of cakes and slices, from jaffa roll cake to hedgehog slice. Custom cake orders are popular too. One local orders XL chocolate sponge bases and decorates them at home for family birthdays, and they also do catering for meetings, parties and celebrations around the Atherton area.
You can sit in or take away. There's coffee, breakfast and lunch, and the fit-out is a pleasant, café-style space. The place has changed hands in recent times, and the word is that it has only improved, with good baking and prices that people describe as very fair. Staff are generally described as friendly and warm. One visitor did mention an off moment at the counter, but that isn't the usual experience.
Getting there is easy. There's free street parking and a free car park, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and you can pay by card or phone. It sits in the street behind the centre of Atherton rather than on the main drag, so keep an eye out. The chunky pies can sell out later in the day, so earlier is the safer bet. Hours run weekdays only, so check them before you head in.
