Our wine tasting experience at Coal Valley Vineyards left us craving something to eat, since we had rushed to eat breakfast on board our cruise ship before leaving for this excursion, and luckily, the second part of our excursion brought us to historic Richmond, Tasmania. We parked in the lot of the Richmond Gaol Historic Site and first went into Sweets & Treats for Australian and New Zealand confections, then into this bakery. When we entered with my sisters, there weren't any customers, so I took my time to peer into their display cases, check out their menu, and take photos. Suddenly, a crowd and line formed behind me, and several counterhelpers began asking if I was ready to place my order. I ordered a Lamington, a Caramel Slice, and flat whites, while my husband, who had gotten "instructions" from my sisters, had his eyes on the meat pie of the day, a Curried Scallop pie, since he doesn't have a sweet tooth or is a chocoholic like me. While he paid for our snacks, I delivered the pie and pastries to the table where my two older sisters were waiting. I briefly stepped away from the table to help carry the four flat whites, get eating utensils and napkins, and set the table, as we planned to share the food among our foursome. But when I returned, my sisters and husband had broken into the curried scallop pie. I could smell the savoriness of the curry and a slight scent of seafood from the pie. They motioned to hurry back to the table to try a piece of the tasty pie. Indeed, the piece of pie they had broken off for me had a sturdy, flaky shortcrust, and its mild curry-flavored filling had oozed onto the parchment paper bag it had been packaged in. So, thanks to my family, I didn't take a cross-section picture of the luscious, tender, savory, and well-balanced Aussie meat, er, seafood pie, as it was too messy to show. But, trust me, Richmond Bakery captured the cultural significance and iconic status of this Australian "national dish." Anyway, the curry flavor made for a strange-tasting blend with our flat whites, so we quickly shared the Lamington and Caramel Slice. Both iconic Australian pastries had great texture, moisture, and sweetness, which paired so much better with our coffee beverages and my sweet tooth. The friendly service, clean, historical ambiance, authentic flavors, and reasonable pricing at Richmond Bakery are what make us want to return. read more

The meat the scallop pies were recommended and we stood in line to order. They are open from 6 am until 5 pm and weekends 7:30 . There was indoor & outdoor tables and a constant line out the door. We ordered cafeteria style. The curry scallop pie is the pie of the day. They were big chunks of scallops in the sauce was filling and satisfying. The dessert menu was extensive and everything looked appetizing. For dessert we shared a piece of hedgehog pie, it was great! Lunch was abundant, delicious & it was a beautiful day to sit outside & people watch. read more

You order at the counter and bring to your table. I had the pepper steak pie. Has a bit of a kick and is good. My wife ordered the scallops pie. I tried it, has curry which I don't like. Their hedge hog cake is not to be missed. A casual and homey place. read more

Richmond Bakery is well known amongst tourists, guides and locals, even back home people know about Richmond Bakery which is always a good sign, service can be slow at times, this town is popular with tourists so it can get quite bust at times and language barriers slow things down, however all the staff are still helpful to everyone. Some food here can be a bit dry we found, we got a slice of sorts and had it a bit later not he trip about an hour later or so and it was extremely dry however the other cake we had with us for about the same amount of time was very nice. A must when visiting Richmond much like the sweets shop, the bridge, the wood store and other places. read more

We took of tour of Richmond and decided to drop into this little bakery. It was packed since there were several tour buses and this place really was quick and easy. I had the curried scallop pie and the fetta (with 2 ts) pie along with a side salad, an old glass bottle coke and a cappuccino. Just to be clear, there were 2 of us. When I reread that, it seemed I had ordered all that food for one.... Really great place. I'd skip the salad next time. Not worth the extra $5. I should have just gotten an extra pie. Those were fantastic. The scallop one was my favourite! The inside had actual scallops and potato, the curry was light and super creamy. The crust was my favourite part. It was flaky and melt in your mouth goodness... If you get a chance to go, have a lovely meal. They have a nice garden around there as well as some artisans selling their wares. read more

Stopped here on the way back to Hobart. I had the spinach and feta pocket and a chai. The pastry was filled with lots of fresh spinach. Really couldn't taste the feta but the delicious pastry dough made up for it. Also, the chai was super flavorful. A wonderful chai that warmed me up as it had been raining a lot that day. A great bakery for a snack along the way back to Hobart! read more
