About Ocab Bakery
Ocab Bakery is a bakery in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, and pies are among what people head there for. The steak and mushroom pie is one standout order, and the beef pie has been praised too, though one local found the buttery, croissant-style crust a bit much against the filling. Sausage rolls get strong praise, with one person calling them the best they've had, and the ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant and cinnamon twist all come up as favourites. Anything flaky, buttery and warm seems to be the house speciality.
Beyond the pastry case, there's sourdough and other fresh bread, plus toasties, and the coffee gets plenty of love. Locals mention the latte art as much as the taste. You can eat in or take away, and the space has a small, cosy, rustic feel. One regular compared it to a Parisian cafe, with the bakers working in view of the counter. Seating is limited, so it can feel snug at busy times. There's also an upstairs spot overlooking the kitchen.
For bigger plans, they take custom cake orders and do catering, with online ordering for pickup. Their line is "Let us bring to life your ideas", and there's a decent amount of care behind it. One customer remembers staff happily making a fresh batch when their favourite croissant had sold out.
Some visits have brought a cooler welcome and a wish for prices displayed on the shelves, though most experiences have been positive. Pastries sit at the higher end for a suburban bakery, though one customer has found the generous portions and fresh fillings make it good value.
Practical bits: there's a step-free entrance, free street parking and a free car park, and cards and phone payments are accepted. They're open daily, with a slightly shorter day on weekends, so check the hours before you go.
