Bakeries in Melbourne

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.

This directory lists every bakery we know of, from the independent sourdough bakery to the familiar chains, grouped by city and suburb. Pick a city to see all its bakeries on a map, or use the near-me button to find the closest one.
