About The Bakery Cafe
If you're after a bakery in Mitcham, Victoria that does a proper old-school sandwich, The Bakery Cafe is a name that comes up with plenty of regulars. Locals rave about the schnitzel sandwich in particular: thick-cut, soft, fresh bread, a freshly cooked schnitzel, lettuce and mayo, the kind of thing people say is hard to find these days. Chicken schnitzel with melted cheese gets a special mention too.
The baking holds its own. Pies are what the place is known for, with the plain meat pie a favourite, and there's a decent spread of cakes, slices, donuts and croissants. One local singled out the cinnamon donuts and the chocolate croissant, and the caramel slice has its own fans. Bread comes out fresh from the oven, and sandwiches and rolls are made to order.
It works as a cafe, too. You can eat in, indoors or out, or grab takeaway, and the coffee, chai, hot chocolate and milkshakes get an easy thumbs-up. People who use it as their local describe a friendly, chatty counter with plenty of regulars. Wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance and seating make it easy for everyone to get in.
A couple of people have found the owner's manner abrupt, and one visitor was moved on for bringing in a takeaway coffee from elsewhere, so it's best to buy your drink there. They're closed on the weekend's second day, so check the hours before you head in.
