About Cowards Cakes
Any time is pie time, as the sign says, and Cowards Cakes is known for pies. The bakery claims to be the first established bakery in Mildura, serving the Sunraysia region since 1919. It's locally owned.
Pies are what it's known for, alongside pasties, banjos and a spread of cakes and pastries. Bread is part of the offer too, and there's café fare for breakfast and lunch. You can sit in or take your order away, and delivery is available. The coffee gets a good word, and locals mention the range, with plenty of savoury and sweet options if you're hungry.
We've heard the staff are friendly and helpful, with one local singling out Kylie by name, and another remarking on a quick lunch order that arrived with a smile even when most tables were full. One local found the prices a bit steep for cold pies, so it may pay to ask what's fresh from the oven.
For events and functions, they also do catering, and custom cake orders are on the list. Parking is easy, with free street and car park spots, and the entrance and car park are wheelchair accessible. Cards and mobile payments are accepted. Hours run on weekdays only, so check before heading in, particularly if you're planning a weekend pie run.
