Why Choose Casa De Pan?

Casa De Pan is known locally for standout pies, beef mince, steak and mushroom, chicken and veg, alongside sausage rolls, pasties and a signature cheese and bacon patsy. The sweet cabinet draws equal praise for éclairs, lamingtons, custard tarts and custom cakes, all fresh from the oven, backed by friendly service and fair prices that make it a draw for both travellers and locals.

About Casa De Pan

Pies are the first thing most people mention when Casa De Pan comes up, and it's easy to see why. This bakery in Whyalla Playford turns out a long counter of them, from beef mince and steak and mushroom to chicken and veg, steak and kidney and potato, alongside sausage rolls, pasties and a cheese and bacon patsy that gets a regular shout. You'll hear the food is fresh from the oven and the staff are friendly, which suits a place that's popular with travellers passing through on the way to Port Lincoln as well as people who live nearby.

The sweet side of the cabinet is just as busy. We've heard good things about the chocolate donuts, light eclairs, vanilla slices, custard tarts and apricot turnovers, and one local called the lamington soft and fluffy with a chocolate coating that isn't too sweet. There's also a range of sandwiches and rolls if you want something lighter. Not everyone is won over by the pastry on every item, and one regular felt it could be softer on a few of the sweeter slices, but the hot savouries are the clear draw.

Custom cake orders are part of the offer too. One local picked up a birthday cake here for his wife and described it as lovely, with wonderful flavour and a light texture that meant everyone went back for more.

You can dine in or take away, and the coffee and hot chocolate have earned their own following. It's also a handy stop for breakfast. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, there's free street parking and a free car park, and they take cards and mobile payments. People mention that it opens very early on weekdays, though it's worth looking up the hours, especially if you're planning a weekend visit.

For a pie and a decent coffee in Whyalla, this is a bakery locals point visitors toward.
