The Crusty Loaf — Restaurant in Victoria

Visited today. Cut into my small apple pie for desert to discover 3 circles of green MOULD in the small space between the pastry & the filling. Was so shocked I forgot to take a photo. I’ve eaten in plenty of bakeries but never experienced any mould. To make it worse, when I questioned if the pies were from today, I was told yes. Then I showed them the mould and they said “oh they must have been from the freezer”. I was given another of the apple pies (from right next to the mouldy one) and told it was today’s and was fine to eat. The lady may have briefly said sorry, but generally just acted like it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, and I wasn’t offered a refund, or even anything like a free piece of cake to compensate for the mould. I sat there a few minutes feeling disgusted & like crying, when the same lady saw me and again said “Do you want a plate? It’s fine, I’ll cut it for you”. That one didn’t have mould but I can tell you, I’ll never go back here. For the rest of it, pastie was ok, rest of my family enjoyed their pies & burger. Coffee order was wrong,...

This bakery/Cafe is a must visit if you're in Yarrawonga or even close by. We always visit a couple of times a year from Melbourne and everything we've tried is excellent. From bacon & eggs to raisin toast & tea, milk shakes, thick shakes, coffee, their roast pork rolls with gravy & cheese. Salads, chicken & salad wrap oe even a French vanilla cream slice. Everything tastes great, is served hot and the portions are generous. It's like visiting an old country friend and they've baked to welcome you and you want one...

Being a Pie connoisseur, I had to pop into this little gem of a Bakery. Starting with the great customer service from Roz. I brought Egg & Bacon, Cheese & Bacon Pie and a Sour dough. I ate the pies at my car as we were passing through the town. I had to go back and get the ladies name. Now for Pies, •Pastry was spot on. •Bottom was firm, not soggy. •Filling had great flavour and lots of it. •Pies we’re a perfect temperature. Just cut up some Sour Dough, fresh as. Good onya Guys,...
