About Tim's Homemade Pies and Cakes
Tim's Homemade Pies and Cakes is the sort of Monbulk bakery that people drive out of their way for. We've heard of folks travelling a fair distance just for the vanilla slice, which gets described as light and crisp with delicately flavoured custard and a soft icing that doesn't overpower it.
Pies are the main event here. The range is wide, with pepper steak a favourite and the jalapeno pie or roll a pick for anyone who likes some heat. One local called the jalapeno, cheese and mince combination the best pie they'd ever eaten. Sausage rolls, salad rolls and pizza rolls get a good word too, along with chocolate eclairs and the bread, which some say is the best in Monbulk. Around Christmas, one customer looks forward to the shortbread and mince pies.
Locals also like that the prices feel fair for what you get and that the menu keeps picking up new additions. Staff are known for a warm greeting, and staff members including Wil, Sarah, Dina and Rhonda are mentioned by first name. One regular said Tim's represents what local businesses used to be like.
It's a takeaway bakery with coffee on offer, and they take cards and mobile payments. There are colourful public seats across the road if you want to eat your pie in the sun. It opens early on weekdays and has shorter weekend hours, so check the hours before you head in.
