Dunalley Bakery

If you're driving through Dunalley on the way to Port Arthur or Fortescue Bay, this bakery is an easy stop and a well-liked one. Travellers and locals alike say the pies are the main event: chicken and mushroom, steak and mushroom, egg and bacon, and a scallop pie that one visitor called a standout. The sausage rolls get regular mentions too, and plenty of people talk about how generously filled everything is for the money.

Beyond pies, the cabinet is wide. We hear of salad rolls packed with filling, sandwiches, burgers, jelly slice, vanilla slice, lamington and cream cakes with real cream. Bread comes out fresh from the oven, and the white loaves in particular have won over a few families who bought some to take home. Sourdough is part of the story here as well. Breakfast is on offer too, and one group of six was happily fed big breakfasts even without a formal menu.

You can eat in or take away. The dining area is described as spacious, clean and comfortable, and there's free parking right outside and across the street, plus wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and toilet. They take cards and mobile payments, and coffee is on the counter.

The staff come up again and again as friendly and welcoming, which suits a roadside stop where you may be feeding a car full of hungry people. On coffee, opinion is a little split: most people rate it, though one visitor found it weak. And one person thought the toasted croissant and sandwich fell a bit flat, so the pies and baked goods are the safer bet.

Hours run early to mid-afternoon across the week, but it's worth checking before you head in.
