Sitting right on the corner of a roundabout on Winstone and Richmond Avenues, they're not on a main road so you know that all the people who are there are either locals or they've heard just how good this place is by someone else in the know. Having seen the bags stacked up at the front door, its clear they use locally produced Laucke Mill flour for all their baking. And the proof is in the pudding - so to speak. I love their cocktail pies and pasties. In fact their range extends to cocktail sausage rolls, cheese pasties and potato pies - yummy! They have something called a Ned Kelly Pie which I haven't tried yet but I do recommend their potato pies and cheese and veggie pasties - big as well as little. If you go there at Christmas time be sure to give their fruit mince pies a go - you won't regret it. There's nothing glamorous about Beck's Bakehouse just good, hearty pies, pasties, bread and cakes. Don't expect to sit down anywhere so you can devour your purchases, Beck's food is designed for eating either on the run out of the bag, or at home.

Yeah, you heard me right, dog watch. Spot Rufus, Sasha and Bob as they trail the path down Winston Avenue, as The Woofery, the ultra adorable dog bakery is just a few doors away. These are some of my favourite things: Ham & Pineapple pizza- $5.40 Ned Kelly pie- $4.40 Custard Berlina- $4 Mini apple and blueberry pie- $3.30 Becks Bakehouse does easy dinner meals and caters too.

Another one to add to the set of Adelaide's great bakeries…read more Goodwood Bakehouse is a genial little bakery on the Goodwood strip. Best to get in early because their pies and pasties sell out quick in the midday rush. The range of desserts is just as good, and more plentiful. They also have a sandwich bar set up at the side of the store if you're looking for a healthier option. A good display of their freshly baked bread also lines the back of the store. I recommend the larger, fresh made steak pies. Delicious and enough to feed a decent group of people. If the huge stacks of sausage rolls, pies and other baked delicacies you'll see in the kitchen behind the counter is anything to go by, Goodwood Bakehouse caters, and caters well. There's always a good selection of seasonally themed giftboxes to be had at the side of the store too, depending on what holiday we're approaching.

FIRST STOP FROM THE AIRPORT…read more This is my first stop from the airport to where ever I'm staying and usually my last stop on the way to the airport. I adore coming here and keeping in touch with social media, you always know what different treats await you. They make cronuts like no one else in Australia and were the first to have them here. Coffee is fantastic and lunch meals fresh, BIG and yum. Parking at the back, the main road can be a bit of a pain but their court yard is tranquil and relaxed (unless I'm there with my nephews and nieces, in which case we all suffer together)

When I looked at the website, I saw they also had a passionfruit icing option. I am a fan of passionfruit icing. My dream icing is pink passionfruit icing, but I've only seen homemade vanilla slices with pink passionfruit icing. When I arrived, I saw in the display that the "standard" vanilla slice was the award winner. In my mind, I needed to buy both versions and eat them. Both vanilla slices are superb. The pastry wasn't soggy. The custard was delightfully creamy and smooth with a vanilla flavour without being too sweet. The standard icing is okay. It's a bit thick for me and a bit too sweet. The passionfruit fudge icing, on the other hand, is fantastic. I love anything sweet and tart. Tarty sweetness makes my lips tingle and "sing". The passionfruit fudge is thick, but it doesn't "feel" thick in my mouth, and it's great to crunch the passionfruit seeds between my teeth. I ate the standard vanilla slice first because I wanted to finish with the tartness of the passionfruit fudge icing. I can appreciate why The Village Baker's standard vanilla slice won this year's baking award. I prefer their passionfruit fudge vanilla slice.

A HIDDEN GEM ON SOUTH ROAD…read more WOW! That's all I can really say.. My wife introduced me to this great little bakery a few months ago, and it's now become a weekend regular. Pulling into the little shopping centre in Blackforest, the place doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. This place is a hidden gem. They have a great selection of gourmet pies, pasties and sausage rolls. Beef and Bacon Pie! Amazing.. :) Also there selection of pastries and cakes are brilliant, and after walking in there today to find that they now sell CRONUTS! Sweet! :) This is a working Bakery and it is always packed, they are constantly refilling there pie warmer as they always sell out quick, so no day old footy pies here.. I would highly recommend this place next time your in the neighbourhood. :)

Two words: Meat Pizza…read more Remember these and you will make good choices when visiting Adelaide Lebanese Bakery. Avoid the pink building with the water fountain out the front (the local brothel, so I hear...) and walk into the shed like building next door to continue making good choices. Make an excellent choice by heading over to the display of beautiful baklava while your meat pizza warms up and choose at least two of these delectable treats. Realise that you have purchased lunch AND an afternoon snack for only a few dollars - probably around 5, and give yourself a little high five (try not to look like too much of a dork whilst doing this...) Spend the mounds of spare cash that you would have otherwise spent on lunch on an array of authentic Lebanese groceries. Do not, under any circumstances, be put off by the very basic presentation of this store. Accept the brilliant food and low prices for what they are - do not question excellence.

I've never even bothered to find out the name of the joint before, but have done the dusty hungover walk from my nearby house dozens of times. It is a tradition amongst my friends to come here for 'meat bread' when hungover - or as the Lebanese Bakery calls it 'meat pizza'. On your right as you enter is a big old woodfire oven and a list of breads you can order. A few are what we traditionally think of as pizza, most are delicious fillings wrapped in folded Lebanese bread. My favourites are the meat bread and the spinach and ricotta bread. Meat bread is a round lebanese bread, topped with spicy mince, tomato and onion, folded in half and cooked in the woodfire. Spinach and ricotta reminds me of a spanokopita, but better - a fresh lebanese bread, expertly folded into the shape of a triangle pasty and filled with friend spinach, red onion, spices and ricotta. DELICIOUS! Beyond the takeaway food, you can get fresh fruit and veg, yoghurt, cheese balls, halva, baklava (and other fresh nutty sweets), tinned food, cooking utensils, fresh breads, and some frozen foods too. Oh and a whole range of Lebanese music on tape and expired foreign candy. The staff are real friendly and this is a bustling little place on a Sunday afternoon.
