If find the last review very hard to swallow ,( pardon the pun ) as a former resident and customer of the Willaura Bakery for 7 years I found their bread (and all other products) of the highest quality .. since moving north to retire in QLD I'm yet to find a bakery that can supply me with a product anywhere near their quality.

Read moreWillaura Bakery was just amazing. It was probably the best curry pie I have ever had in my life. The curry flavour was nice and not overpowering. It tasted fresh and home-made which is exactly what you want. The pastry was awesome and overall it would disappoint nobody.
The citrus tart was lovely. Beautiful flavour, and crispy pastry. I was a bit concerned it would be overpowering, but the flavour was wonderful. Everything just looked amazing in the shop so it was hard to pick just one thing.
