Why Choose Thorpdale Bakery?

Thorpdale Bakery is the sort of place Gippsland locals plan their route around. Pies are the backbone, the lamb, rosemary and garlic is a standout, but sausage rolls (especially the chicken kiev) and custom cakes are equally impressive. The staff are genuinely friendly and the food consistently fresh.

About Thorpdale Bakery

If you're driving through this corner of Gippsland, Thorpdale Bakery is the sort of place people plan a stop around. It's a bakery in Thorpdale, Victoria, and pies are what it's best known for. Ask around and you'll hear about the lamb, rosemary and garlic pie, with its crisp pastry and mix of minced lamb and chunks of meat. The Ned Kelly pie gets a mention too, and there's a vegan pie of pumpkin, lentils, spinach and zucchini that one local called the best they'd ever had.

The sausage rolls are close behind. The chicken kiev sausage roll has people talking, with one visitor saying they'd be dreaming about it afterwards. There's a spinach and feta roll for those after something lighter, and the pies and rolls sit in a well-stocked warmer. On the sweet side, locals rave about the vanilla slices, raspberry tarts, bee sting cake, cream buns, lamingtons and Portuguese tarts. Weekends bring extras like cheese and onion loaves, and there's a good spread of bread through the week.

It's a proper stop for a meal too. You can take away or dine in, and there's a sandwich bar for made-to-order lunches, plus coffee and breakfast. Seating is limited, so on a cold day you may end up taking your order with you. Custom cakes are part of the picture as well. One local ordered a very large sponge, filled with jam and cream, for a group celebration and came away delighted with the result and the plain, honest approach.

What comes up again and again is the welcome. Staff are friendly and helpful, even when a new barista is still finding their feet with the coffee machine, and prices are considered fair for the quality. There's free parking on the street and in a car park, including wheelchair-accessible spots, and card and mobile payments are accepted. Opening hours vary a little across the week, so check before you head in.
