About Phillip Island Bakery
Phillip Island Bakery sits on the main street in Cowes, and it's one of those bakeries you tend to notice because there are almost always people inside. We hear it gets busy, so expect a queue and a bit of a squeeze at the counter, and one visitor ended up taking their order away because seating fills up fast.
The pies are what customers come for, along with sausage rolls, pasties and a good run of slices. The French vanilla slice is a highlight, the sausage rolls get praise, and the custard slice is popular too. Baked goods come out fresh, and the selection is wide enough that you may want to read the board before you reach the front. Some people love the pies, while others find the odd flavour or pastry a touch ordinary, so it's good to order a few.
One thing that makes this bakery handy in a small town is the gluten-free range. One visitor called the gluten-free caramel slice the best they'd ever had, and the bakery stocks a good selection of gluten-free options. They also take custom cake orders if you've got an occasion coming up.
It's a good spot for breakfast or a quick bite as well. Coffee is on offer, and they do both takeaway and dine-in, with seating inside and out. Prices are regarded as fair, and people mention friendly, helpful staff even when the place is flat out. It's practical for getting in, with an accessible entrance and seating, a car park and street parking nearby, and card and mobile payments accepted. Parking in the centre of Cowes can be tight at busy times, so allow a few extra minutes.
If you're looking for a bakery in Cowes for a hot pie, a slice or a gluten-free treat, this is a handy stop. Check the opening hours before you head in.
