Wether you're embarking or returning from a big country drive and going via Pt Wakefield, you'll probably be told that if you do stop, make sure its at Kipling's Bakery. On the Sunday afternoon I visited, the store was full of customers but the line moved steadily and staff made sure that everyone was served quickly and efficiently.
I was promised by my travelling friends to eat "the best sausage rolls ever" and was a bit disappointed (better than a Villis but not as good as my local bakery) as there didn't seem to be enough meat compared to the thickness of the pastry. The pastry was also a bit ho-hum but the sausage roll was piping hot compared to the lukewarm-ness (is that a word? If not it should be!) that has become common in many a deli. As I was feeling a touch greedy I also had a chocolate doughnut with my sausage roll and iced coffee (FUIC of course), and found it to be delicious and the icing spot on.
This little bakery is an icon of sorts and worth a stop if you don't want to eat at the roadhouses but its not quite as cracked up as everyone says. Also, they make you pay 20c for tomato sauce, which never ceases to amaze me. Granted they do it properly and squirt the sauce straight into the pie/sausage roll/pasty, but I hate paying extra for sauce. read more
