My mouth had a taste of heaven through Gin Gin Bakery…read more Disregard the other two reviewers because they did not order what Gin Gin is known for - their meat pies. I can't speak for their other pastries, but who needs other pastries when THEY HAVE HOME MADE AUSTRALIAN MEAT PIES! I ordered the plain meat pie, which is actually plain beef, not a fully "plain" pie. All their pies have the listed ingredient PLUS beef (ie if it's listed as "mushroom", it's actually mushroom and beef), which wasn't immediately intuitive for me.

They make there own pies, cakes etc which is sadly a bit of a rarity in a number of bakeries these days. My husband ordered a pastie and really enjoyed it as it was full of fresh veggies such as carrot, peas, corn and beans that were still visible and not just some mystery filling. He also has a jam donut. It's true, the jam donuts use mock cream but if you take a look to the right of the counter, there is a whole case of cakes and pastries that use fresh cream and custard such as beestings, apple turnover, apples puff, chocolate eclairs etc. The bakery is popular with travellers as it's directly on the Bruce Highway with plenty of parking right in front for those with caravans. They have a a large undercover eating area in front of the bakery and make a pretty decent flat white. A great place to stop for a leg stretch and break before you head off towards Bundaberg (the coast) or out to Western Qld.

Lunch in Childers! This is a wonderful bakery in Childers…read more The sandwiches and rolls are made to order, with fresh ingredients and they are terrific value for money because they're enormous. There are plenty of baked treats to choose from too and a lovely outside seating area!
