Bazzas's Bakehouse

Bazzas's Bakehouse is a bakery in Kallangur, Queensland, with the feel of a proper old-school suburban bakehouse. It opens early most mornings and keeps going through the afternoon, so it suits a breakfast stop as easily as an afternoon tea run. Check the hours before you head in, especially on weekends when they wind down a little earlier.

Pies are what the bakery is known for, and the range goes well beyond the basics. We hear the curry beef pie gets plenty of love, along with the potato top pie, and one local who doesn't normally touch a pie now asks for them for breakfast. Sausage rolls, sandwiches and bacon and egg burgers round out the savoury side. The odd person finds one that didn't hit the mark, but most come away happy with generous serving sizes.

Then there's the bread. One local reckons it's lighter and fresher than most bakery loaves and keeps well for days, and the sourdough gets a mention too. The sweet cabinet is the other drawcard. The beesting is a firm favourite, apparently with a generous filling, and the apple crumble, passionfruit tart and scones all have their fans. The bakery also does cakes for birthdays, with one customer always ordering from here for those occasions.

Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and you'll hear about a warm welcome at the counter. It's the kind of place where workplaces order morning and afternoon teas, which says something about how reliably the team looks after people.

You can eat in or take away, and they deliver. There's coffee and breakfast on offer, and getting here is easy with free street parking and a free car park, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and card and mobile payments accepted.

If you're after a straightforward local bakery in Kallangur with a good spread of pies, bread and sweets, this one is easy to recommend for a first visit.
