Why Choose Yorkey’s Bakery?

About Yorkey’s Bakery

Yorkey's Bakery in Yorkeys Knob is the sort of old-school bakery where the pastry cabinet does the talking. Pies are what people travel for. Locals rave about the mince pie and the bacon and egg pie, and we've heard of people driving a good twenty minutes out of their way just to pick one up. The beef and mushroom pie gets a mention too, along with spinach and feta triangles and apple turnovers with properly flaky pastry.

The sausage rolls have a following of their own, and the sweet side holds up. Vanilla slice, custard tart, apple charlotte and fresh cream buns all come up, with crisp pastry mentioned more than once. One local also swears by the multigrain loaf, saying the seeds on the crust toast up nicely.

Prices are a regular talking point, with plenty of people calling it great value, and the baked goods are said to taste freshly made. The staff have a friendly reputation, and the counter is easy to deal with. It's a takeaway operation with breakfast options, and you can pay by card or phone. There's a free car park with a wheelchair-accessible space, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible too.

Popular lines can sell out, and one local missed a ham and cheese croissant by mid-morning, so heading in early gives you the best pick. Check the hours before you go, as the bakery isn't open every day of the week.
