About Bakery 169

Pies are the first thing people mention when Bakery 169 comes up in Runaway Bay, Queensland. The caramelised onion pie has a loyal following, and the steak and pepper, steak and cheese, and beef and mushroom varieties get plenty of love too. One local who used to buy their pies elsewhere says this one beat them. Another puts it down to the pastry, which they find light and flaky, with chunky, tender fillings.

Pies aren't the whole story at this bakery in Runaway Bay. Sausage rolls and custard tarts sell well, and the Danishes, doughnuts and other sweet pastries have their fans. We've heard the bread is a good size, light and fluffy with a soft, subtly crisp crust. Fresh sandwiches are on the counter as well, and one person called the egg and lettuce a perfect example. They also do birthday cakes, and one customer was thrilled at how light and fluffy theirs turned out. Opinion is a touch split on the croissant and some of the cake decoration, but the pies carry the reputation.

Everything comes fresh from the oven, and prices are known to be fair. Staff are friendly, and you can eat in at the seating or take it away. Coffee and breakfast are on offer too, and there's free parking with a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance. They take cards and mobile payments. Check the hours before heading in, as they open early.
