I called into this bakery and I brought a cauliflower and cheese roll.
The service hasn't changed.
But my cauliflower and cheese roll was tasty and the pastry light, flaky and altogether this is what keeps me going back. The quality is really good.
And Keiths pies still takes cash at the moment which is a bonus.
This bakery is still worth a visit.

I haven’t been to Keith’s Poes this year so I decided to call in for a cheese and spinach roll. The service was ok.
My cheese and spinach roll had some good flaky pastry and the filling was ok if a little dry but it was still nice overall.
Loved it! Pies are very reasonably priced and definitely worth the visit. I had the steak pepper pie and the thai green curry pie. Steak pepper pie was full of warm gooey lovelyness and plenty of steak and was absolutely delicious. Meanwhile the thai green curry was real hot and alot more interesting than your average pie. No complaints here, just great quality pies
I’ve been a massive fan of meat pies my whole life and I’d say it surprisingly hard to get a really good meat pie in Melbourne. Generally, on my excursions to smaller country towns I’d find far better quality than what is in the city. That is, until I found Keith’s Pies.
Keith’s Pies has all the classic meat pie flavours you could need (including my favourite curry) and they all taste sensational. Pricing is very reasonable and comparable to bakeries outside of Melbourne and the service is fantastic. As an example, I once had a mishap with an Uber delivery (in short, it never arrived) and after the the owner called to unnecessarily apologise, on my next order the kind owner gave me a few free jam donuts.
My only complaint is a wish they’d open on Sunday as everyone knows a pie can cure a hangover!
Very solid pies! Have been here a few times and there always good. Recently had the steak cheese bacon which was 👍🏻
I think it closes on Saturday at 1pm which is weird.
Only place I can find a Cornish pasty and they are great well done to Keith’s pies. Never stop making them. I might have to place an order to stockpile lol.
Keith's Pies should be renames Keith's Pasty. While the pies that I tried were rather delicious, the Cornish Pasty was the best of the lot. Crumbly golden brown pastry, and generously filled with minced, potatoes, carrots and onions.
The Chunky Steak and Mushroom pie, and Steak Curry Pie also had the same beautiful flaky pastry and abundance of ingredients, but was just somewhat lacking that oomph in flavour.
The Apple Pie was also quite the stunner. I could see the beautiful browned crust glistening with sugar and hear the crunch when I bite into it. The taste of spiced apple chunks rounded up this beauty.
Last but not least, the traditional sausage roll. Another example of beautiful crackly pastry, but as with the pies, a bit more seasoning would do it good.
Delicious, filling and great value for money.
I Can’t believe I’m reviewing a pie shop but I tell you what - the pies here are streets ahead of the pie in the sky place in Olinda - and a tenth of the price!
Saw they delivered by Ubereats and got a beef and mushroom, chicken, sausage roll and cheese kransky and 4 were perfect quality - good meat, no gristle and full of flavour.
$25. Unbelievable for the price.
Usually get the pies ordered from UberEATS! Always arrive super hot and fresh! Really really decent pies! Chunky pepper steak pie is A grade! Sausage rolls are decent too!
Keith's pies is a bit of an institution dating back to the late 60's I was told. It's a little shop with a few seats out front and some strip parking, service is fast and friendly.
Three of us had the pastie which they claim they are famous for, steak and onion and sausage rolls.
All very tasty. If pies are your thing you need to try this one if your in the area.
Fantastic pies! The chicken Thai green curry is a must! Lovely service and great coffee. A favourite of mine. And the yummy cinnamon donut with your coffee is an added bonus too!
Byron's Vanilla Slice Blog
+3.5
Whilst walking through the maze of Ikea in Richmond my vanilla slice radar picked up on the nearby Keith's Bakery. With a reputation dating back to the 60's and somebody touting them as having the best vanilla slice in Richmond on TripAdvisor, I felt it necessary to see for myself. Their slice was pretty good; with finely baked, golden, flaky pastry sheets sandwiching some pretty ordinary custard that had a ever-so-slightly set texture. Their pastry and millimeter thin icing were the heroes of the slice, with a commendable price also notable. Extra credit should go to their sustainable biodegradable packaging for their takeaway cups, but sadly this isn't one of my scoring criteria!
Have been wanting to go here forever but being closed on a Sunday which in my world is peak pie eating day makes it hard. The range and availability of pies is exceptional, I had the steak bacon and cheese. Definitely not world beating ingredients going into it but the flavour, temperature and perfect firmness of the pastry making it very easy to eat was excellent. Would return but not in a massive hurry.
Love the pasties & pies, fresh & hot always !! I drive a truck so i know where all the good pie shops are, & i think this is in the top 5, well done.
Good pies and they have the best vanilla slice in Richmond
The best pies in Melbourne! Chunky beef, beef and potato are favourites. The apple slice and caramel slice very nice very rich.
Awesome pies from a great local business. I used to frequent this shop some time ago and recently rediscovered it and I’m glad I did. Highly recommend
Great coffee! super friendly homely customer service! Felt like my aunt and uncle where having a chat with me, gave us free donuts with the coffee.
If you’re craving a great pie with friendly staff...you’re best to give this place a shot. I had a steak and onion pie which was amazing (a lot of filling), chunky steak and mushroom (great depth of flavour) and a coffee (with free donut!). Really good pastry and very reasonable price. Definitely recommend!!
Great secret and grab a top pie. Really good pies and a must go. Really nice and made on premise.
Amazing quality pies and sausage rolls. The lovely owners even gave us free doughnuts and two coffee holders. I am so impressed by both the homely customer service and the flavours of the pies. Would highly recommend!
Heard about this place from the try guys. And they were right. Hands down the best pie I've ever eaten. I don't think there will ever be a place that'll do it better. 10/10
Absolute ripper pies here. Best Pie I've had in years. Thank god I work just across the street coz I'm gonna be a frequenter lol
