Why Choose Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse?

Ferguson Plarre's Blackburn branch excels with custom celebration cakes, particularly their vegan red velvet, which have become repeat orders for locals.

About Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse

Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse in Blackburn is a bakery and cafe where you can grab coffee, a warm pastry and a cake for the occasion. It's a familiar name across Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat, and this Blackburn shop does the full spread: takeaway, dine-in, delivery, in-store pick-up and catering platters.

Cakes are a big part of the draw here. Custom celebration cakes are on offer, and we've heard a vegan red velvet has turned into a repeat order for at least one local, with birthday cakes another regular reason to call in. On the savoury side, people mention the meat pies and sausage rolls, and there's a cinnamon scroll that's best asked for warmed up and eaten straight away. Vegan options are available, and the shop is known for fair value.

People pop in for a coffee and a bite, with breakfast on the menu too, and the staff are often described as friendly. One local shared a story of the team staying warm and accommodating even when the shop was packing up for the day. The shop also donates leftover food to a local outreach group, which says something about the people behind the counter.

Some find the drinks hit and miss, and a few have raised service concerns.

Getting there is simple, with free street parking and a free car park, plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. Cards and tap payments are accepted. It's open weekdays and weekends, though it's worth checking the hours before you go.
