About Gladysdale Bakehouse

A scenic stop on the Warburton Highway, Gladysdale Bakehouse serves hearty specialty pies, flaky pastries, and mountain views. Cyclists and road-trippers pull in for crusty savory pies packed with beef Burgundy, cauliflower cheese, or lamb souvlaki, while regulars point straight to the slow-roasted pork belly sanga with pickled cabbage and onion jam. Inside, walls display framed photos and stories of visiting customer dogs; outside, the open-air wooden deck looks across rolling paddocks to the ranges, with vanilla slices and flat whites on the tables.

  • Scenic mountain-view deck: Open-air deck seating looks straight out toward rural paddocks and mountain ranges.
  • Specialty savory pies: Rotating hot options range from classic beef Burgundy to broccoli cauliflower and lamb souvlaki, plus frozen batches to take home.
  • Customer pet wall of fame: An interior wall gallery honors visiting four-legged guests with framed photos and stories.
