About Why Not? Wooden Bakery

Anyone doing the rounds of Dandenong Market will likely end up at Why Not? Wooden Bakery sooner or later, and one regular has been coming here for years. It's a Dandenong bakery with a warm feel, and the kind of place where people end up chatting with the staff while they wait.

The pastries and pies are the draw. The spinach and feta is the one people keep coming back to, and we've heard it described as generous on the feta. Other savoury options include spinach and haloumi pouches and a few vegetarian variations. Beyond the pastries, the pizzas and pides get plenty of love, with the meat and lamb pizzas and the vegetarian ones all getting a mention. Zaatar manoush gets a good word too, and there's coffee if you want something to go with it.

You can take your order away or sit in, and there's plenty of seating if you'd rather settle in for a family brunch. It suits a quick grab-and-go or a relaxed bite, and they take cards and mobile payments.

We've heard the odd grumble about a batch running out or a flavour that didn't land for one person, but most of what we hear is warm: helpful staff and fresh food. Opening days vary through the week, so check the hours before you head over.
