Wandered down the main street early in the morning hoping that someone would be open so I could have a coffee. The only two shops open were the newsagents and the bakery. I had the best cup of coffee and bacon egg roll so far on this trip around Australia. Great friendly staff. Thanks guy's.
Friendly Staff and quality food. Scallop pies and Lamb pies are the best! Highly recommend this bakery!
The pies they bake are just so filling and crisp and soft and yum and what not at the same time!! I bought their vegetable pie and it was good enough a meal for me! Loved the pies at this place and would definitely recommend grabbing a quick bite here on the way to the GOR.
Everything is good here. Food made with love. Sausage rolls are a great option for a quick snack. Even the coffee is good. They use bon soy.
Was so amazed by lamb pie, went in with high expectations given the reviews and was not disappointed. Cute little stop off point, perfect after some walks we did earlier in the day. Fast service and lots of seats.
I stayed in Apollo Bay for a week and worked my way through the following.
Almond Croissant 7/10
Slightly overcooked, but it didnt matter. Very very tasty, great combo of flaky and chewy with a good amount of filling.
Apple Cake 9/10
Very soft crumbly biscuit with perfect amount of icing. Apple & cinnamon filling with lots of apple pieces.
Vanilla slice 5/10
Pastry was a bit stale and there's a strange addition of a jam which doesn't add much. Overall it was good and the custard was quite nice but wouldn't recommend, there are better options here.
Muesli Slice 7.5/10 (pictured)
Loaded with dried fruits, macadamias, seeds and yogurt on top. Very tasty not overly sweet.
Apple Crumble (pictured)
9/10
Great ratio of crumble to apple filling. I had mine heated up and it was fantastic. Best thing I tried from here.
Amazing bakery food - we had both some cold savoury rolls as well as some sausage rolls before moving onto the sweets. Beautiful fresh and tasty fare!
However with hordes of locals and tourists (literally the place was standing room only trying to order) trying to order their delicious bakery food it feels like total chaos and not at all relaxing like a regional bakery should be.
One suggestion to improve the service and reduce the manic atmosphere, could be to implement a roped lane system.
Most people, especially tourists, will come here for the scallop pies. They're not cheap but you're probably on vacation so it's worth a try. The pies are pretty well filled with scallops as you can see from the photos, although a good part of that is gonads (hope you knew that's what the large orange/cream coloured bits were, otherwise well, now you know - you're welcome). Pies come in 2 flavours - Mornay and curry. Both were tasty and better than some of the other bakeries we tried later on.
Cosy place and worth a stopover if you're driving down the Great Ocean Road.
We ordered their curry pie and their famous scallop pies and they did not disappoint. The scallop pie had 5 pieces of scallops each and it tasted fresh, I’m not sure if they use frozen scallops or not. The scallop pie was incredibly creamy and it was a pure delight to devour. The curry pie was flavoursome and mild.
A lot of tourists visit this bakery as a stopover for lunch whilst on the way to the 12 Apostles, so expect long lines if you happen to arrive during the peak lunch hours. Service is friendly and prompt. There are tables scattered around the bakery that said, it can be difficult to find a seat during lunch time.

Like a normal bakery. Its quite good and the taste worth with the price. Should try if you come here with a cake lover. Dont forget to order a coffee as well!
Stopped by for breakfast after a night of rest at Apollo Bay, before the drive towards Twelve Apostles. Ordered the famous Scallop Mornay Pie, Chunky Beef Pie and Beef and Mushroom Pie. Everything were delicious. Scallops were fresh and the cream sauce complements it very well. Both beef pies were very good too. Nice and fluffy pie crusts. Definitely had me craving for more. Had a mocha which was good too. Grabbed a bag of ‘pull apart’ Herbs and Cheese bread, and Coffee Scroll (bread). Both were so good. Do try it!
Had both versions of the scallop pie as well as the steak n mushroom. Did a takeaway due to time factor but still good n delicious 4 hours later. Prefer the white wine version compared to the curried one. The steak pie was fabulous too.
Pies were nice, nothing special, better than Pie Face, was going to try their famous Scallop Pie until I saw the price of $12.95 for one normal size pie, so went for chunky beef and a pepper steak, both for $11.95 total a lot more normally priced. The shop is well set up for speedy service, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Great location being right in the middle of the main street.
Their sandwiches made for great lunches on our GOW hikes. The ham/ chicken was tasty, and the rolls are generously filled with vegetables.
The scallop pie is delicious; a must-try. It looks kinda small, but it is packed with multiple pieces of scallops inside.
Wow. They even offer gluten-free scallop pies. Well worth it. Let me tell you. I also had a great latte.
If you’ve never tried scallop pies then you much visit this Bakery!
We’ve never tried scallop pies before so we decided to buy both the curry & mornay pies as well as the garlic prawn pie and they were all deeelicious!! The pastry was flakey, scallops/ prawns juicy and sauces full of flavour. You have to be careful though as it’s quite saucy and drippy.
Oh and their sweets are delicious too - we couldn’t walk away without buying a choc brownie and choc caramel cheesecake slice.
This bakery and its pies came highly recommended by friends and it did not disappoint! The staff were super friendly and helpful.. Will definitely go back.
The scallop pies were pretty good with a generous portion of scallops. Still a little pricey at that size. The hedgehock slice was good too
Not only are the pies and pastries some of the best you'll come across in Australia...if not the world...it's the friendly staff and great energy that makes this such a great stop along the Great Ocean Rd. Obviously the scallop and seafood pies are sensational but their selection of ready made sandwiches are delicious. The bakery is right in the middle of town and there is plenty of parking nearby...oh and the beach is 150 metres right in front of the bakery so I love grabbing a pie or sandwich and eating it on one of the most stunning beaches in Australia. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!
