Probably Australia’s least friendly town, would prefer port Pirie. The bakery was $6.30 for an outsourced ‘cheese and bacon pie’ and ‘pepper pie’. Exact same pie we have bought before in plastic packaging from servos. Or you can pay $8 for a ‘homemade mince pie’. As well as this, was treated like a criminal by a local for daring to walk out the door of the supermarket then glared down by her as she drove off. The supermarket doesn’t even sell ham, I live in the Torres Strait which is 1000x more remote than this place and can get more variety of food cheaper. Couldn’t even find somewhere to put air in our tyres. Do not recommend this place. The only redeeming quality is the bay, but even then there’s nicer beaches in SA.

As thetravellingtart I will continue to search for an even better tart. Unfortunately there are lots of tarts around, but flavoursome, quality tarts are a rare commodity. Thank you Elliston Bakery, you made the drive from...
Read moreMy partner and I stopped in on our way through, we are never ones to complain and I have never really left a review, however this was the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered!!! The older guy working was rude and blunt to everyone who walked in and seemed like the smallest asks where the biggest hassle to him. When it was our time to order we felt nervous and pressured to hurry up and get in and out I was even too anxious to ask for a coffee so I left it. The pie was nice however the experience wasn’t worth it! Not a welcoming bakery and we left feeling very shaken up! Will not recommend...
