Why Choose Maiden Gully Bakery?

About Maiden Gully Bakery

Maiden Gully Bakery is the sort of country bakery you might find yourself driving out of Bendigo for. Pies are the main event here. Locals will tell you there are pies here, from a plain pie through to beef and mushroom, with proper chunks of meat, and there's a family-size cheese and bacon pie that gets mentioned fondly. One regular was sorry to see the butter chicken pie recipe change, which says something about how closely people follow the pie cabinet.

Beyond pies, the cabinet covers pasties, sausage rolls, quiche, apple turnovers and slices, and the salad rolls come up as fresh and generously filled. The staff will make a roll or wrap to order, and the coffee scrolls have one local convinced they beat the big-chain bakeries. The bakers work out the back, so the bread and savouries come fresh from the oven.

It works as a sit-down stop as well as a takeaway one. Breakfast is on, with egg and bacon rolls, a bacon and egg burger and croissants going down well with a road-trip crowd, and there's coffee to go. Parking is free, and the car park and entrance are wheelchair accessible. They take cards and mobile payments.

Most people rate the coffee, and one visitor drove out specifically for it, but we've heard the odd grumble about drinks coming out too hot and about service getting short late in the day. Most people mention friendly counter staff, so a visit earlier in the day sounds like the safer bet. Hours vary across the week and weekend, so check before you head in.

If you're after a pie, a fresh roll and a decent coffee in Maiden Gully, Victoria, this is a bakery worth a stop.
