The Warburton Bakery — Restaurant in Melbourne

The service was amazing. Lovely girl served us. It was Easter weekend so busy but was pretty quick in the lineup. They have a big selection and loads of pies so will have to come back and try more but we were just here for dessert. We got the caramel slice, pecan pie and large Anzac biscuit. I’ll start with the good. And it was actually great. Caramel spice was really good, I’d prob get that again. My mum thought it was too sweet but I loved it.

Bakery by the River is a must-visit when you're in Warburton. I brought my family and a friend to enjoy the cozy outdoor takeaway setting, and it turned out to be such a lovely stop. The country-style pies and pastries were hearty and comforting, but the lamington easily stole the spotlight — especially for my cousin and parents.

My cousin’s a true lamington lover, and every time she visits Australia, it’s top of her dessert list. This one hit all the right notes — soft, airy sponge, a chocolate layer that wasn’t overly sweet, and just the right amount of coconut. Simple, classic, and done really well.

The Warburton Bakery is an absolute gem.

You are greeted with a warm smile and friendly service that makes you feel right at home. The pies here are to die for – flaky crusts, delicious fillings, and made with so much love.
