Historic bakery crafting traditional breads, pies and pastries
The Maldon Bakery is the oldest continuously running bakery in Australia. Built in 1854, it was the first brick structure in Maldon, originally constructed to feed the thousands of gold miners who poured into the region in search of fortune. Over 170 years later, the bakery remains a beloved landmark – a place where history, community and the irresistible smell of freshly baked bread come together.
Today, the bakery continues to thrive under the care of a passionate team of bakers and pastry chefs who are committed to traditional methods and simple, honest ingredients. From rustic sourdough loaves and buttery pastries to their award-winning pies, everything is baked fresh on site using locally sourced produce wherever possible.
Visitors can enjoy their treats in the charming Bakery Garden – a peaceful, leafy space tucked beside the shop, perfect for a leisurely morning coffee or a relaxed lunch in the sun. Whether you’re a local regular or discovering Maldon for the first time, the bakery offers a warm welcome, a taste of heritage, and a genuine country experience that has stood the test of time.
