About Frollicking Frog Bakery Cafe

Pies are the first thing people mention when Frollicking Frog Bakery Cafe comes up in Lilydale, and it's easy to see why. The chunky beef, egg and bacon, and beef and mushroom varieties get plenty of love, and the vegetarian side of the cabinet holds its own too. We've heard the spinach and ricotta and the vegetable pasties described as flaky, well filled and homemade in taste. One local who tried several in a single visit said every one of them delivered.

Beyond the pies, the cabinet is wide for a smallish shop. Sausage rolls, danishes, vanilla slice and custard tarts all turn up in conversation, and one regular says she'll always stop in for the custard tarts whenever she's in town. Cupcakes and carrot cake have gone down well for birthdays, and the bakery takes custom cake orders for special occasions. They also cater for functions and parties, with cake platters, sandwich platters and party food on offer, so it's worth a chat if you're feeding a crowd.

It's a bakery cafe, so you can sit in or take away. There's seating inside and a good spot outside, which suits a coffee and a pie on a nice day, and breakfast is on offer too. Parking is easy, with a free car park and free street parking nearby, and both the car park and entrance are wheelchair accessible. They take cards and mobile payments.

What keeps people coming back is the welcome as much as the baking. Staff are described as friendly and warm, tourists and first-timers say they felt looked after, and regulars like to stop for a chat. Prices are seen as fair for the quality.

One small note from a loyal pie fan: they'd like the pies served a touch hotter. Otherwise, the feeling is that this is a little bakery worth stopping for if you're passing through Lilydale. Check the hours before you head in, as weekend trading is shorter.
