Their specialty is a loaf using potato in the sourdough mix. The bakery also sells full sized cakes, slices, foccacia, danishes and more. I love how all the product signs have handwritten names on them, showing care for all that they do. The sandwiches look amazing too! Grab a cookie with the soft centre, apple turnover or a lemon curd and pistachio snail! Put it on your Katoomba visit list.

Bakehouse wasn't the place designated for lunch along the way, but we checked out a couple other reviews and decided to hike the extra few blocks to check it out. The outside's pretty unassuming, and so is the dining room. The pies, though, they speak for themselves. We saw so much variety in that little shop that we started calculating whether we had enough time on the ground for the trip to come back again to try more selections. We held back on that impulse, however, and limited ourselves to 2 savory pies and one sweet. We'll be darned if those weren't the best meat pies we've had on 4 continents! Most especially, we will never forget the Kangaroo in a rich tomato goulash. We didn't see anything of its like anywhere else in Sydney (and we tried hard too). That ultra-lean meat was melt-in-your mouth tender and there was serious artistry in the veg and spicing that went into the rest of the stew to fill the pie. Then there was that buttery, flaky crust enfolding it all into a little dish of perfect, homey love that just warmed a body from the inside-out. Good savory pastries are rare as hen's teeth back in our home town, and so commonplace in Australia that we almost started taking them for granted. The meat pies in Leura, though, were something so special that they'll be our first stop next time we fly halfway around the world for a visit!

Only getting 3 stars because the girl at the counter had such a surly attitude. It seemed like she really didn't want to be working. Also, they were blasting pretty offensive MUSIC, lots of swearing in the music, not family friendly music. Otherwise the steak pie and the mince meat and potatoes pies were very good. FYI serve yourself, communal tables, paper cups wood cutlery and NO TOILETS.

The selection of cakes wasn't very big but they did have a nice selection of pies and sausage rolls. My son isn't a big pie fan but got the meat, cheese and bacon pie. Although he is 7 he said it was the best meal he's ever had and wants to go back for another pie someday. Parking isn't easy but a short walk from a block or 2 away and your here. The sausage rolls I had tasted great. The prices were decent. We had 2 cans of coke, 2 sausage rolls a pie, 3 tomato sauces and it was $13. I'll stop here in a few months when Im back in town.

Leura Health Foods is one of a tiny few stores left actually serving the local community. Even fewer since the Woolworths incursion that I still shudder at every time I go past. Doesn't belong. At all. Sigh. So it's a welcome thing to wander in here and find everyday service and real advice, as well as a way-better-than-average range of healthy goodies. From Tibetan incense to organic inca berries, wasabi powder and lots of gluten free foods not easy to source elsewhere up here, this little store is a fav. Not as pricey as you'd expect for Leura (although health food's never cheap) I love picking up something oddball and interesting. Rhino coffee this time (I'm a sucker for a good name). Not fancy. Not schmancy. Just good.

Still, I'm a big online fan because otherwise I can spend half a day looking for somewhere to eat. And the online menu does say they love people with allergies. However there is no mention of gluten or gluten free on the menu. Maybe this is related to the tightening of Australian rules into "gluten friendly" rather than gluten free. Since their specialty is hot sandwiches, I'm up in the air on the gluten front. If they will allow choosing from the sides and extras menu, that would be perfect. I also like how many of their prices have stayed reasonable, with five dollar coffees, I don't know if I can eat them but their egg sandwiches for Brekky look positively dreamy.

Overpriced lunch, even for Australia standards... skip the Kangaroo Burger (you'll thank me later)…read more It's an ok place to eat lunch. We were dropped off here by our Blue Mountains tour guide. I think for a little cheaper price, my review would be a little better. My veggie samosa plate was $16 AUS and had a side salad. With only two samosas...it was really a snack and not a meal. On our table were a few steak sandwiches, burgers, and the oh so enticing "Kangaroo Burger" on a black bun. I think there is a reason why Kangaroo is not widely served around the world, get the steak or regular burger, especially if it is your first time trying Kangaroo. FYI Kangaroo is really gamey and lean so your burger will be dry... guaranteed! There are very few other options in town, just a cafe, bakery, a few take away spots, grocery store and a fancier restaurant across the street (with equally poor reviews). It's convenient and the rest of the group was eating here, so it was a nice way to get to know them, but definitely had a little of the tourist trap vibe.
