I recently had the pleasure of visiting Garlands Bakery in Kangaroo Flat township, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish.

The smell of freshly baked bread and pastries filled the air, making it impossible to resist indulging in a few treats. The staff at Garlands Bakery are constantly busy attending to the high volume of customers, but they do a great job of providing excellent service despite the bustling atmosphere. While there may be a slight wait to be served, the staff's dedication to serving customers efficiently is commendable. One of the standout features of Garlands Bakery is the option to dine in or take away. Whether you prefer to enjoy your meal in the cozy ambiance of the bakery or take it to go, they have you covered. This flexibility adds convenience to the overall experience. Now, let's talk about the food. The pizza pies at Garlands Bakery are absolutely divine. They have a perfect balance of flavors and a delightful crust. Whether you're a fan of classic toppings or prefer more adventurous combinations, you'll find a pizza pie to satisfy your cravings here. And we can't forget about the barista-made coffee. The skilled baristas at Garlands Bakery take pride in crafting the perfect cup of coffee for their customers. From rich and bold espresso shots to creamy and frothy cappuccinos, their coffee is a treat for coffee lovers. Overall, my visit to Garlands Bakery was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and delectable food made for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone in the Kangaroo Flat township area looking for a delightful treat, delicious pizza pies, and exceptional barista-made coffee.

Lovely fresh cakes and slices - amazing selection, prices moderate, but you get quality for what you pay for. Highly recommend the citrus tart and the smiley face cookies for kids. A lot of work and care gone into their selection of cakes. And I love the sign at the counter about phones - so true. Will be back when next in Bendigo!
