Whether it is Goolwa Bakeries 100+ year old traditions and famous vanilla slice, or the infamous Port Elliot Bakery where whatever you decide to eat is well worth the wait, the Alexandrina area has great bakeries that will take you a full weekend to get around to each one. So here they are!

Port Elliot Bakery  – Famous for its donut of the month, long (well worth the wait) lines during peak seasonal times. Port Elliot Bakery is sure to hit the spot!

Goolwa Bakery – Nestled in the backstreets of Goolwa, just off the main street lives a bakery that was built in 1912 and has been dishing out hot pies ever since as one of Goolwa’s longest running businesses. Be sure to pick up something hot and a vanilla slice.

Home Grain Bakery – With a mission to make happier people, how could you go wrong! Beginning first in Aldinga and then setting up roots in Middleton, Home Grain Bakery is committed to sourcing local ingredients, serving hot, strong coffee and making sure everyone who comes in leaves with a smile.

Strath Corner Bakery – Over a decade into operation and the McDonald family have doubled the size of the former Heritage Bakery. With a huge range of hot pastries, breads and treats, the Strath Corner Bakery is sure to have all your bakery cravings covered.
