About Bolton Street Hot Bread Kitchen
Bolton Street Hot Bread Kitchen is a bakery in Eltham, Victoria, and pies are what people tend to bring up first. The beef pie gets the loudest praise, with rich gravy and pastry that holds together rather than going soggy. Sausage rolls, jam doughnuts, custard tarts and a roast pork banh mi round out the counter, and one local said the apple muffin was as fresh as they come.
Bread is a draw too. Vienna loaves and French rolls have their fans, and one regular said they struggle to get the Vienna home in one piece. Locals tell us the prices feel fair for what you get.
The service is a big part of why people return. We hear the family behind the counter, Lisa and Lucas among them, are warm and generous, and the younger staff get a mention for friendly, old-fashioned manners. Coffee is on offer, and you can eat in or take away, or have an order delivered or picked up in store. It's an easy stop for lunch or a walk-and-snack outing. The business also identifies as women-owned.
They cater for parties as well. One group had pies and sausage rolls done for a weekend gathering and came away delighted. For catering, it's best to ask the bakery directly, and check the hours before you head in, as weekends run shorter.
