About Shear Delights Bakery
Shear Delights Bakery is the small takeaway bakery in Avoca, Victoria, where the baking happens on site and you can watch the bakers at work behind the counter while you're being served. Everything comes out fresh from the oven, and locals will tell you the pies are the main event. The drovers pie gets a particular mention, and pasties and sausage rolls are close behind.
Cakes and slices fill out the cabinet too, and one local was quick to recommend the ginger cream sponge. There's coffee on offer as well, which suits the regulars who stop in for a pie and a cuppa on the way to work. Custom cake orders are available, so it's worth asking at the counter if you have an occasion coming up. The bread rolls are worth considering too, with a good crust and a soft, airy inside.
The staff are friendly, and some visitors from Melbourne have planned a country drive around a stop here. A tip we've heard: go early, because popular hot items can run low later in the day. One person has found the cabinet short on labelling, so it pays to ask exactly what's in something if you have dietary needs. We've also heard the odd grumble about a slice or cake that missed the mark, though opinion around town leans firmly positive.
It's takeaway only, with an accessible entrance and car park, and it takes card and mobile payments. Hours run weekdays only, so check before you head in on a weekend.
