The Village Bakehouse @ Port Fairy

Locals and travellers rave about the pies here, especially the scallop pie, with many calling it the best they have had. The chunky beef, bacon and cheese, chicken and leek and potato pies also get big wraps, and several people went back for seconds. Beyond pies, favourites include the lamingtons, scones, vanilla slice, GF passionfruit cheesecake, focaccias, cakes, coffee scrolls, ham and cheese croissants and a standout bacon and egg roll. Coffee is often praised, and they serve tea too.

Reviewers mention a friendly vibe, quick, busy service and a handy express window with seats while you wait. The bakery is described as clean, well organised, well priced and open when others are closed, with a broad selection that keeps people coming back.
