About Balaklava Golden Wheat Bakery
Balaklava Golden Wheat Bakery is a stop along the route to or from Adelaide, and it serves pies. Pies are what it's known for, and the pepper pie is among them. The beef, cheese and bacon pie and the curry pie also have their fans, and the pastry and generous filling come in for praise. Pasties and sausage rolls sit alongside them, and a steak pie with a decent amount of meat is popular.
Beyond the pie warmer, there's a vanilla slice that one local called the best they've ever tasted, a chocolate doughnut with sticky icing, and big ham and salad rolls. Coffee and breakfast are on offer too, and you can eat in or take it away. Some people like to grab a pie and eat it in the nearby park.
Prices are fair and the counter staff have a friendly reputation. We've heard the odd complaint about the coffee and the look of the place, and on a busy afternoon the pie selection can run thin, so go earlier if you have your heart set on something.
Access is easy, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and cards and mobile payments are accepted. It's also women-owned. Check the hours before you head in, as it closes early in the day.
