Ned Kelly's Bakery — Restaurant in Adelaide

It's okay, nothing to rave about on the 'bakery of the month' scale. Being connected to original ascendants of the man in the steel bulletproof mask that carryon the Kelly legacy i think i can provide a well educated & informed view of this novelty bakery based on contrast, comparison & effort or lack of it in any amount of ❤ actually goes into the baking...if any right. Twice i have visted the Ned Kelly bakery, once well prior to the renovation & revamp of the bakery attempting to give it a more rustic 'Ned Kelly day feel' (by whose standards i'm not sure), more spacious inside it seems to have expanded by comparison to it's original inception.A more 'novelty' approach to the Kelly themed shop it seems alot of effort,time & finance has been put in right down to the metal crafted masked outlaw 'door greeter' as one enters.Heavy old timber rustic floor,corrugated iron, it looks good.Unfortunately though the quality of its product left us in reality with the feeling "it's all overkill"! We concluded nothing good about the pasties, sausage roll & famous Ned Kelly pie, no love whatsoever did i feel had gone into producing our baked goods.So much effort clearly put into 'ambiance/feel' of its interior,much cleaner with greater emphasis on the Ned Kelly 'attraction to lure'.It gives one the feeling of anticipation that "lunch is going to be great" if the surroundings are anything to go by. In a word "NO"! It just didnt leave one with any satisfying clue one has just eaten.It did not " hit the spot", nor was there any likable taste &/or nourishment about it.It all about 'THE GIMMICK' i'm afraid, theyre riding the pull of the Ned Kelly name & theme to attract the gullible while 'effortlessly' producing unmemorable...

The Ned Kelly bakery. I do love bakery food and this is one of those cracking bakeries that I highly recommend. They do all the basics very well, pies and sausage rolls are on point. Then you get into your gourmet style pies like the ‘Ned Kelly’ with the egg baked in it. It’s an interesting pie… not one I would get regularly but it was a nice treat for something different.

I’m a huge fan of the bacon and cheese sausage rolls and the chocolate donuts are up there with some of the best I’ve had in a long time.

They also offer a range of family sized pies and quiches for takeaway and a nice little sandwich bar to have a fresh made sandwich/roll for lunch instead of the pastries.

Good prices as well… pies around $6 bucks and donut was $5 from memory. Not bad in this day and age!

A good all round bakery and worth a visit for sure. I’ll be sure to get more photos on my next visit and...

Terrible customer service. The girl that served me was impatient and blunt. She simply would not let me have a look around to decide on which hot food & cake to order and continually asked "is that all, is that all?' Very very impatient! I asked my 2 children to pick a cake.... we walked 3 steps and straight away she asked 'have they decided yet?" There were many girls working and not a single customer in line waiting to be served! Management need to get on to this as they are rude Every Single Time I have been there and I am now finally sick of it and leaving a review. I am sure that as the place is always so busy this wont get even a mention but that to me just shows how much they care about...
