Summer Kitchen Bakery

Top choice in The Southeast


Head to the side courtyard of this tucked-away treasure, on a street corner in Ranelagh a few kilometres out of Huonville, for a wide-ranging selection of pies – from wallaby to mushroom and quinoa – as well as fiendishly good cakes and the best coffee in the Huon. Locals come from kilometres around just for the bread.

If you're visiting Hobart on a Saturday, look for the Summer Kitchen Bakery stall at Salamanca Market.
