About Woodend Bakery

Woodend Bakery is a small artisanal operation in Woodend, Victoria, run by husband-and-wife team Kate and Alex, who bring over a decade of baking experience from their previous Melbourne bakery. They work from a Woodend pop-up and turn up at farmers' markets around the Macedon Ranges, so it pays to check the hours before you head out.

Sourdough is what people talk about most, and it's what regulars come back for. Pastries, donuts and a chocolate cake that sells out fast also get a mention, and cakes can be ordered to your own specifications. Locals say the trays empty quickly, so going early is the sensible move. One person found the donuts and a baguette on the dense side. Takeaway is the way to go here, with coffee on offer and card and tap payments accepted. It's a bakery in Woodend that rewards an early start.
