Lobethal Bakery

Grrat staff, very friendly and welcoming. Great selection of pastries even toward closing time. Prices are great and the vest pies i have ever had. This is coming from a villis lover.

I just finished reviewing Lovells Bakery in Woodside (Adelaide Hills). They are the worst! But don’t despair, the best is just down the road in lovely downtown Lobethal. The Lobethal Bakery on Main Street is the first of four branches in the area and my vote is 5 stars.
I am visiting from Austin, Texas, and it’s a great city with lots to recommend it. However, with all the bakeries we have there (many), none that I know of is as good as the one in Lobethal. My Aussie sweetie and I have sampled most of their breads and a passel of their meat pies and desserts. Nary a one of them failed to please. Try their pasties. Sample those gorgeous pastries. Definitely don’t miss a loaf of their multigrain Black Forest bread.
Friendly counter staff, clean surroundings, tasty food, and good value for your Aussie dollars. 5 stars for sure.
Fair Warning: these folks are busy and can sell out of some of their popular breads by mid-​afternoon, so try not to show up late. But DO show up. You’ll be glad you did.
P. S. We have also patronized the Woodside location and found it similarly pleasing. I expect the other two locations are also worth visiting.
PPS. I forgot what my sweetie had to offer about their wares … «Their pastries are always wonderful; light and flaky and wickedly delicious.» I can only agree.

Whilst riding through the hills we stopped in for some sustinence.
This bakery has a great selection of pastries, pies, and breads. They also serve coffee and cold drinks.
Tried some pies which were great. The coffee on the other hand not so good. Long black and a flat white. Both were very hot (excessively so), barely existent crema, leading me to suspect they were brewed rather than espresso. The bakery had ample indoor seating and a large parking area immediately outside.
Good stop for a quick bite. Recommend the pies, perhaps avoid the coffee unless you find yourself with a significant need for caffeine supplementation
