Bakeries in Adelaide

The essentials

The Australian bakery is its own institution. Beyond bread, it is where you buy a meat pie and a sausage roll for lunch, a vanilla slice or a lamington for morning tea, finger buns for the kids and a cheese-and-bacon roll for the road. Country-town bakeries are destinations in their own right, with pie competitions, queues of travellers and decades of family history.
