About French Bakehouse Mt Eliza

French Bakehouse Mt Eliza is a bakery in Mount Eliza that has been part of the community for 35 years, and its tagline, "Freshly Baked. Always Welcoming.", suits the place. It sits right on the roundabout, which makes it an easy stop if you're a local on foot or driving through.

Pies are what people talk about first. We hear the chunky steak, jalapeño and cheese gets raved about, and the pies are generous in size, though locals will be the first to admit they're not the cheapest on the peninsula. Sausage rolls and pasties get a good word too, and the vanilla slice is one people rate very highly. Beyond the pie warmer, there's an array of breads and pastries, with croissants, danishes, strawberry eclairs and a mushroom quiche all getting mentioned. If you're after something for a gathering, whole cakes are available, and a lemon meringue has been known to stretch to feed a big group.

It's a proper coffee-and-breakfast stop as well. You can sit in, grab a coffee and a pastry, or take something away. Salad rolls and sandwiches are on offer, though we've heard they can sell out by midday, so earlier is safer if that's what you're after. Payment is easy with cards and mobile tap, and there's a free car park with wheelchair-accessible spaces, which helps on busy mornings.

The staff are a real part of the appeal. People describe the team as friendly and smiling, and that welcoming feel has brought at least one customer back. One local put it simply that it's a lovely, very popular bakery.

If you follow a dairy-free or vegan diet, options are limited, and we've heard the team tends to stick to the existing menu rather than make something up to order. Anyone with allergies should ask about ingredients before buying.

The doors open early on weekdays and a little later on weekends, but it's worth checking the hours before you head in.

Pastries

“The vanilla slice is top tier, pastie excellent and good coffee. Since they took over the new space they have stepped it up. Very good quality, one of, if not the best on the peninsula.”
