How we read reviews →Ballan's cosy bakery cafe for chicken and leek pies, Portuguese tarts and a dog-friendly courtyard
Cute, homely and cosy, with pleasant aesthetics, indoor seating and a dog-friendly outdoor area suited to a slow lunch or a laptop session between meetings.
Pies and tarts made in-house by an all-women crew, glass cabinet of baked goods, takeaway pies, roast chicken baguettes, cakes to order, dog-friendly outdoor setting.
Not applicable; a country-town bakery with Portuguese-style tarts alongside classic Aussie pies.
Mixed: some reviewers call lunch excellent value, while a $15 pie and pricier baguettes left others expecting more.
