The Bakery - Kurunjang

This is just the most lovely place to come any time of year. Located on the river side of Warrandyte, with an enormous playground that will excite any kid (let alone parents), it’s a must visit if in Warrandyte. <br/ There is a covered shelter for dining outside as well as a large area covered by large umbrellas that offer a lot of cover in the wet but still not 100% dry. Options of food are abundant with croissants, lemon tarts, donuts, pies, sausage rolls and so much more. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate available. The ‘bakery’ is a well known spot for school kids come to after school for a play and a bite to eat before heading off to swimming, Sport practice or wherever. <br/ Dogs are welcome they are welcome anywhere in Warrandyte. Note the lovely mosaic chair made by local artisans. Plus the old water trough. Access to the river is through the archway and is only 20 metres away. <br/ Beware of snakes here in the warmer months. <br/ Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Pram and stroller accessible. Good parking out the front on Yarra Street as well as a car park down below near playground which you can access via a road only a 20 metres east of the Bakery. <br/

A must stop at if you come through Warrandyte, these guys do a delicious vege pie and have lots of space to sit outside with your dog

Delicious but unfortunately run out of food quick it seams. I have had the vegetable pastie here and I loved it and was told pies are also good

What a top bakery! The bakery has a wide variety of bakery food available and tables and chairs outside. There is a top playground right near the tables for kids to play, plus the Yarra River runs a little below the eating area. It's a perfect to have a walk along the river after eating or having a bakery coffee.<br/ <br/ It's also lovely and relaxing and wonderful people having their dogs join them at the outside tables. What fun!

The location is superlative, perched up above the Yarra. It's clearly popular with young families there for the playground and dog owners walking the trail by the river.<br/ <br/ There's a bit of a new age vibe going on with signs about connecting with the spiritual power if the river and the like.<br/ <br/ I had a plain pie , which was pretty good. The pastry shell was just this side of overdone. Very crisp indeed. The filling (Mince) was properly seasoned and had enough gravy to be moist, without being drop down your shirt material. The puff pastry top was flaky and the colour of dark toffee.<br/ <br/ My companions had a cream filled lamington which was thick with jam and cream and a good, properly crisp eclair.<br/ <br/ Coffees were strong and rich and the service was geared towards efficiency rather than friendliness.<br/ <br/ I imagine it gets very busy on weekends and holidays, but during the week it was a relaxing spot for a snack
