Why Choose Alchemy Bakehouse?
Alchemy Bakehouse is known locally for sourdough with genuine depth of flavour and a proper crust, alongside pastries that earn consistent praise for their flaky, buttery texture. The sausage rolls, croissants and danish are standouts, and they're wheelchair accessible with free parking and takeaway coffee.
About Alchemy Bakehouse
Alchemy Bakehouse is the sort of bakery in Ocean Grove that has built a strong local following. Locals are fond of the sourdough, which has a dense crumb and a properly flavoursome crust, and the seeded loaf and fruit loaf get a mention too. The fruit loaf freezes well, which is handy if you tend to over-buy.
The pastry is the other draw. We hear a lot about the croissants, the almond croissants and the raspberry danish, and the sausage rolls have a following of their own, with a moist, well-seasoned filling in flaky pastry. Chicken and leek pie fans are catered for, and the cinnamon scrolls, hot cross buns and Portuguese tarts appear on the menu. Some people drive over from Torquay for the pastries when they're fresh from the oven, and the smell of butter hits you as you walk in.
It's a modest, unfussy space that works well as a takeaway stop. Coffee is on, and the staff are friendly. There's free street parking nearby and a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, and you can pay by card or phone.
Popular lines can sell out, so one local suggests getting in early or ringing ahead to order. Check the hours before you head over, as it isn't open every day of the week.

“the raspberry danish was seriously one of the best treats i've had. i showed up early in the morning after making the trip from torquay so they were still warm fresh out of the oven.”
“The croissant was nothing short of amazing, flaky, buttery, and perfectly baked! The sausage roll Excellent 👌 But I can't help but reminisce about the lemon tart 7 or 8yrs ago.”
