About The Baker's Duck
Few bakeries get Toowoomba talking quite like The Baker's Duck. The tagline says "baking love since 2015", and the place runs on hand-made methods and premium ingredients, with sourdough and pastries at the centre of it all. We've heard people describe making the trip into town just for a visit, and some have even come back the next morning before heading home.
The cabinet is the draw. Sausage rolls are a popular choice, with the pork, sage and apple version a customer favourite, along with quiche, pies, danishes and croissants. The sweet side rotates with the seasons, so what you find one visit may not be there the next. A lemon meringue danish, a maple sea salt palmier and a pear, rhubarb and raspberry crumble have all earned fans. The sourdough is another reason people leave with a loaf under the arm. It's known for good value too, which counts for plenty when you're filling a bag for the family.
It gets busy, especially on weekends, and a queue out the door isn't unusual. The word is that the team handles it calmly and with a smile, and the line tends to move faster than it looks. Staff come across as friendly even at the peak of the rush.
Beyond the counter, there's takeaway, dine-in and in-store pick-up, plus coffee and breakfast if you'd rather sit down. They take custom cake orders and offer catering for events and celebrations, which suits a birthday or a work function. Payment is easy with cards and tap-and-pay, there's free street parking nearby, and the entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible.
One visitor found the pie pastry more flaky than they're used to, and another felt a dine-in visit was a little rough around the edges on service. Most of the talk, though, is glowing.
It's open seven days, usually from early morning through the afternoon, though checking the hours before you head in is smart. If you're after a bakery in Toowoomba City for sourdough, pies or a proper pastry, this one is worth lining up for.

“They serve the best ham and cheese croissant I've ever tasted. I was in Toowoomba for just one weekend, but I had to return the next day before leaving to enjoy their croissant again.”
“The Bakers Duck is one of those rare places that lives up to the hype, and then exceeds it. An absolute must-visit in Toowoomba. Even when it's bustling, the team is calm, welcoming and incredibly efficient.”
“Been here and now 3rd time. Busier than my previous 2 visits I think especially after they won the best bakery/ pastry in QLD this year. The pastries are seasonal and menu changes, so each visit I got to try new flavours!”
