About Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse
Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse is the Mickleham branch of a Melbourne-based bakery name. It sits outside Coles in the Merrifield shopping centre, which makes it an easy stop on a grocery run. This bakery in Mickleham does the usual bakehouse lineup: pies and sausage rolls (the two things people mention most), plus donuts, cupcakes, savouries and catering platters. Vegan options are on the list too.
Cakes are where this one earns its keep. Custom celebration cakes are a speciality, and one local told us the manager helped with a last-minute birthday cake and made sure it was up to standard. Another had a wedding cake made here and came away happy with both the taste and the value. If you have a cake order coming up, it's worth having the conversation with the team early.
Service gets a warm word from regulars, who say the staff know their orders and keep things friendly. We've heard a few grumbles about slow acknowledgement at the counter during busy spells, and about the coffee machine being switched off before closing, so don't leave your coffee run to the last minute. Some locals also grumble about a surcharge on weekends and on card payments, so check before you order.
You can dine in, take away, pick up in-store or have orders delivered. Parking is free, and the entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible. Hours run early through the week and weekend, but check them before you head in.
