About Golden Nugget Bakery
Golden Nugget Bakery is a drive-through bakery in Leigh Creek, Victoria, set up for people who want something fresh without leaving the car. There's also a walk-up window if you'd rather look over the menu on foot, and a free car park makes the stop easy. We hear it's a regular detour for travellers on the road to and from Melbourne, and for locals who want a proper coffee that isn't from a fast-food chain.
The pies are what people talk about first. One local called a plain meat pie lovely, with crisp but not hard pastry, a good filling and a fair price, and was pleased they don't microwave them. Another was more measured, saying they weren't the best pies they'd had but very good for a drive-through. Pasties and sausage rolls get a mention too, and the chicken salad rolls and chicken avocado focaccia have earned some fans.
Vanilla slice is the sweet treat that keeps coming up, along with donuts and, for one family, a ten pack of ANZAC biscuits that vanished in record time. For breakfast, the egg and bacon toastie gets a lot of love, and one person raved about how light, fluffy and fresh the bread was. Coffee is a big part of the appeal as well, with hot chocolate on offer if coffee isn't your thing. They also do takeaway and catering.
Service gets consistent praise. The team is described as friendly, polite and quick, greeting people with a smile even in terrible weather, and the ordering process is easy. Prices are called reasonable for the portion.
The doors open early on weekdays and a little later on weekends, so check the hours before you head in.
