WHETHER you’re a local or just passing through Healesville, you’ll never be disappointed with a visit to the Beechworth Bakery.
The bakery has a long and proud history of serving high quality baked goods as well as supporting the local community.
Originally established in Beechworth, the Healesville bakery is one of six that are located in Victorian towns.
Now a Healesville icon, the bakery combines old-fashioned service with modern facilities.
Manager Kyle Bray says that customers are drawn to the personal touch provided by the employees.
“We offer great customer service and enthusiastic and friendly staff to cater for our customers’ needs,” she said.
Open seven days a week, from 6am to 6pm, the bakery is the perfect location on the Maroondah Highway in Healesville.
It caters for groups of all sizes and offers a huge car park, capable of holding anything from motorbikes to caravans.
While sitting outside, visitors to the bakery can enjoy great views of the mountains from the relaxing outdoor setting.
The grassed area allows visitors to take in the beautiful park bridge, as well as making for easy access to the park.
Inside, the bakery has a friendly and relaxing vibe.
It boasts an open-seating plan, plenty of table, a play area for kids and couches for the travel weary.
Kylie says the bakery sells a great range of products, including the classics that have made it so renowned in the area.
“We sell various pies, our famous bee stings and vanilla slice,” she said.
“We also have an established range of gluten-free products.
“We have something for all ages.
“For the kids, we have zoomers and shortbread biscuits.”
The bakery offers all-day breakfast, lunch, early dinner, vegetarian delights and catering for groups of all sizes.
Perhaps, it is the homemade touch that makes the pies so good, with pies proudly made by Beechworth Bakery employees.
Among its many specialties is the bee sting – a sweet bun lightly spread with apricot jam, filed with the creamiest custard and topped with toffee almonds.
It has proved a must-try for the many visitors to the region, who have flagged the bakery as a good stopping point as they make their way to Eildon or the alpine area, or as they tour wine regions.
