Johnny Baker Uptown

Castlemaine's hidden bakery renowned for creative pies, pastries and coffee. weekdays only.

Quirky and casual tucked-away courtyard behind the main street, with eclectic furniture including upturned milk crates. Undercover but not enclosed, with an unpretentious charm that suits a leisurely grab-and-go rather than a long sit-down. Unconventional and welcoming in equal measure.

Creative vegetarian and vegan pie fillings well beyond the standard meat range; artisan pastry craft consistently praised for the vanilla slice and Portuguese tart; fully undercover courtyard area accessible via the rear carpark.

Modern Australian artisan bakery tradition with inventive global influences. green curry tofu and lentil and eggplant pies sit alongside classic Australian baked goods in a distinctly local, community-focused setting.

Very affordable (price level 1) for the quality on offer; reviewers consistently praise the reasonable pricing for freshly made artisan baked goods and quality coffee.
