Why Choose Ken's Bakehouse?

About Ken's Bakehouse

Ken's Bakehouse in Maylands is a pie place first, and locals will tell you the pies are the reason to go. The range is wide, from beef and mushroom and beef with cheese and jalapeno to a chunky lamb curry pie and a chicken and vegetable one. People also rave about the tuna mornay pie, though that one divides opinion, with one local finding the filling not to their taste. The lamb curry gets particularly good words, and pastry that holds together and a sensible filling-to-crust balance come up in the praise.

Pies are the main event, but this bakery in Maylands does plenty more. Sausage rolls, beef and cheese sausage horns, party size quiches and party pies for the kids are all on offer, along with donuts, custard horns, choc slice and cannoli. There are ready-made rice paper rolls, wraps, paninis, baguettes and banh mi, and the coffee gets a mention too, including a Viet iced coffee that one regular calls a favourite. Breakfast is part of the picture as well, so a pepper beef pie first thing is not unusual.

You can order takeaway and in-store pick-up, or sit in and eat. There is a free car park, an accessible entrance and an accessible car park, and they take cards and mobile payments. The place is also LGBTQ+ friendly.

The service is a big part of the reputation. Staff come across as friendly and welcoming, and a visitor from out of town found the team made their morning. Some find prices a touch above the average bakery, though others rate it good value for what you get, so it sits somewhere in the middle depending on what you order.

We'd say this is a bakery for people who take their pies seriously and like a few extras alongside. Check the hours before you head in, as they run shorter days at the weekend and close one day a week.
