Why Choose Molly Dene Bakehouse?
Molly Dene Bakehouse is known locally for its pies, particularly the steak and onion and beef and mushroom varieties, with pastry that holds together and fillings that don't skimp.

About Molly Dene Bakehouse
Molly Dene Bakehouse is a traditional family bakery in Bentleigh, Victoria, and by its own account it has been baking since 1960.
Pies are the thing to know about. The steak and onion and the beef and mushroom in the country square style are standouts, and the cauliflower and seafood veggie pies are both fantastic. Sausage rolls, pasties and a french vanilla slice get mentioned too. Everything comes across as fresh from the oven, with pastry that holds together and fillings that don't skimp.
Beyond the pie warmer there's a wide spread of baked goods. Sourdough and other loaves and bread rolls sit alongside salad rolls and sandwiches, bacon and egg rolls on fresh-baked bread, schnitzel wraps, custard tarts, jam donuts, carrot cake and choc chip muffins. One local reckons the cakes and sweets here are fresher and nicer than the chain bakeries.
Coffee is on offer, takeaway is easy, and there's free street parking nearby. Prices get a thumbs up from regulars, who describe the quality as consistently good for the money.
Staff are mostly described as warm and quick with a smile, though we've heard the odd complaint about a curt moment at the counter. Get in early if you want your pick of the bread, as the loaves and rolls can sell out by mid-afternoon. They're open seven days, with slightly shorter hours on weekends, and it's worth checking the hours before a longer trip.
