About Quarry Bakehouse
Quarry Bakehouse is a bakery in Upper Ferntree Gully with a strong local reputation, and the pies are a big part of it. Hot, house-made pies and rolls sit in the counter, and one local who came for a light lunch called the mushroom pie "very very good" and rated the almond croissant just as highly. Ask around and croissants come up again and again too: buttery, flaky, properly laminated, and baked fresh on site.
Beyond pies and pastry, the cabinet is well stocked with cakes, croissants and a solid savoury range. You'll find sourdough, donuts and sausage rolls, plus toasties, wraps and breakfast burgers if you're after something more filling. Vegans get a look-in here, which one visitor found a pleasant surprise, and the lentil log earned a good word. Custom cake orders are a speciality, and we've heard of people driving half an hour just for a birthday cake. One local said the team was happy to get an order ready well ahead of the booked pick-up time when they turned up early.
The staff are a real drawcard. People talk about being greeted hello and goodbye every visit, and Poppy at the counter got a personal thank-you for her service. Prices are considered fair for the quality, which is why it fills up.
Coffee gets a mixed response. Some find it smooth and creamy with plenty of crema, while a couple of others found it a touch bitter or burnt, so it may come down to who's on the machine. There's a coffee window on the street, and indoor seating is limited, so a busy brunch can mean a wait. Access can be tricky for wheelchairs, though there's a wheelchair-accessible car park and free parking nearby. The kitchen can close earlier than the shop, so go earlier in the day if you want a hot meal.
Dine-in, takeaway, in-store pick-up and delivery are all on offer, and the bakery identifies as women-owned. It's open daily, and worth looking up the hours.

“Extra buttery, light and fluffy, these croissants are absolutely delicious. The breads and pastries are all made fresh on-site, and you can really taste the quality.”
“The one and only place I'd ever go for birthday cakes despite the bakery being a 30 minute drive away. Have ordered multiple times and the most recent was a chocolate mud cake. Friendly customer service and really accomodating as well.”
