About House of Bread & Pastries

House of Bread & Pastries is a Brighton bakery that does a bit of everything: specialty bread, a wide cabinet of pastries and slices, custom celebration cakes and a café on the side. Their tagline is "Nothing but passion", and the team brings 29 years of experience, which shows in how much they turn out.

Pies are what the shop is known for. One local called the vegetable mushroom pie the best they've ever had, though the filling is generous and wet enough that you'll want to eat it off a plate. Sausage rolls and cheese twists also come up, along with a vanilla slice and a New York cheesecake that are favourites.

The sweet side of the counter gets plenty of love. Scones piled with jam and cream, lemon and caramel slices, red velvet cake, carrot cake, big warm chocolate chip muffins and an apple and cinnamon scroll are all mentioned. One local said the pastry has a home-style feel that reminds them of back home. Sandwiches and to-go meals are there for lunch, and breakfast and good coffee are on offer from early morning.

You can dine in, with outdoor seating that's heated in the cooler months, or take away. They take custom cake orders for birthdays, engagements and weddings, and they also do catering. One local mentioned the team putting together a lovely platter for a work function. Staff are described as friendly, knowledgeable and quick, though it's a busy local shop and the chat with regulars can slow things down. The vegan range is limited.

Some find the portions big and the value fair, while others reckon it's on the dearer side, and there's a mention that prices aren't always displayed on the cabinet, so it's fine to ask as you order.

The shop is open seven days with early starts, but check the hours before you head in. It's an easy stop if you're near Gardenvale station.

Pastries

“Simply Best vegetable Mushroom pie EVER Although the pastry base doesn't have the structural integrity to hold this wet Mushroom mix for the duration, must be eaten on a plate or you'll end up wearing it.”
