La Panella Bakery — Restaurant in Melbourne

Amazing pies and sausage rolls. All vegan. The Vietnamese rolls are amazing. All vegan too. The prices are alll very 0reasonable. The pies, sausage rolls and pasties can be taken home frozen. Bring an esky to put them in. As I'd traveled a long way I had it in mind to buy frozen items to tske home. Staff are friendly with a customer focus. Would appreciate some Gluten free vegan options especially for the pies and sausage rolls. I'd heard tonnes of reviews by my vegan friends about this place. Even one had their wedding catered for by La Panella. I drove 2 hours to visit. First time to visit as they were closed in January for their festive season break. It definitely did not disappoint.

Check all my photos to see the competitive prices of the full range of products in store as at the 2nd February 2019. I felt compelled to share this yummy and well priced food find. Such a treat. I will be back for sure. Ps. You'd never even know the food was vegan as the place appears to be your standard mainstream bakery yet it is so much better than that....

I love their lamington. It has such amazing moisture to it, and the perfect sweetness that is not overpowering. The chocolate coating is the perfect cocoa. The portion size for the lamington and the vanilla slice are just the right size and the price is affordable. I would highly recommend getting the lamington. I am going to go try the rest of the vegan section! The staff are very friendly! $4.50/slice - plenty big size and worth it! update June 8 - I had their vegan custard tart - loved it! it has a bit of nutmeg on the top which was a pleasant aromatic addition to the tart. Would definitely recommend this for people looking to try a vegan custard tart! Enjoy! $3.50 each,...

Excellent vegan pies, sausage rolls and pasties. Everything offered in the shop is vegan and, I have found extremely tasty.

I do eat meat however I prefer grabbing a pie from here that contains no meat and have found that the quality of their loaves of bread excellent, always fresh and delicious.

I can understand why their offering is perhaps not to the liking of some being completely meat-free, but I personally really enjoy their baked products. Fantastic example of how good vegan food can be!

Please note however - Cash only, no EFTPOS facilities and they get busy hence no opportunity for small talk. But I guess a bakery that isn't busy is quite...
