About Glebe Hill Bakery
If you're after a pie in Howrah, Glebe Hill Bakery is the name that comes up. It sits in the Glebe Hill shopping centre, and the pies are what people tend to talk about first. We hear the steak and pepper pie in particular has people raving, with proper chunks of slow-cooked beef rather than the mushy filling you sometimes get, and a flaky, golden crust. One local called it the best peppersteak pie they'd ever had. Others point to the size of them: generous enough to count as a meal. Sausage rolls get a good word too.
Beyond the pies, the cabinet is well stocked. Donuts are a big draw, with the cream-filled ones and the custard tart earning particular praise, and we've heard the vanilla slices are popular. For bread, locals mention the sourdough (the jalapeno loaf has a fan or two) as well as bagels and croissants, including a chocolate one that arrived in good shape when delivered. There's also coffee on the counter, which one visitor described as pretty good.
Value is part of the appeal. One regular was glad to find a decent local bakery that doesn't charge an arm and a leg, and another found their steak and mushroom pie pricier than expected until they tasted it and understood why. The staff come across as friendly and patient, though like any busy counter, it's not flawless. Locals are a little split on the odd detail, such as the generous amount of jam in the jam donuts and the occasional wait at peak times.
You can order takeaway, have it delivered, or pick up kerbside or in store. Seating inside is limited, with a few benches outside in the shopping centre. Access is good, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilet and car park, and the free car park makes a quick stop easy. Cards and mobile payments are accepted. It's worth checking the hours before you head in.
