Toodyay Bakery

Top choice in West Coast Australia


Toodyay Bakery has been here since 1980, but recent refurbishment brings a little city-style artisan sheen to Toodyay. Excellent sourdough loaves and chicken-and-mushroom pies are famous around the Valley: stock up for on-the-road picnics, or grab a sunny outdoor table and see what you can accomplish after an espresso and a lemon-curd tart.
