AI Summary

Castlemaine bakery known for chunky beef and burgundy pies, gluten-free pies and fine pastries

Bright, friendly regional bakery with glass cabinets of pies, pastries and cakes, a small seating area and a few sunny outdoor spots. Relaxed and welcoming, and better suited to takeaway.

Dedicated gluten-free pies and sweets, vegan and vegetarian pies, French-style cakes and tarts, event catering, good coffee and ice cream.

French-style pastry influences such as opera cake, vanilla slice and Bakewell tart sit alongside classic Australian pies.

Regularly described as pricey, with pies around $9 to $9.50 and a weekend surcharge, though most feel the chunky fillings and pastry quality justify it.
