Had a coffee which was awesome. Was ordering a snitzel roll with the lovely lady. But just as she cut the bread, I saw 2 blo flys buzzing in the bain marie where all the condiments are. I quickly cancelled and changed my mind. Might be wise to keep it closed covered . Not the owners fault and staff are lovely. Just need to step up protection of the food. Especially with summer .

My 3 kids get regular lunch orders from this bakery which is normally excellent but last week my son ordered a chicken schnitzel which was cut into half but the chicken was very pink and it was very undercooked. Showed his class teacher and was instructed to dispose of it in the rubbish. I will be making official complaint directly to management as uncooked chicken is not acceptable to serve

  • Ashleigh MacDonald

This bakery is known for their huge Shnitty (Chicken Schnitzel) rolls. Great value prices are very reasonable. There are also lots of sweet bakery treats, coffee and other hot food. Eat in or take away. No bathroom facilities on site yet some are available close by in the local park. Great vibe with everyone enjoying the food. This is a favorite lunch stop for all the local tradies.

  • George Lewandowski

It's been 12 months since my last feast and it is still great. Back then a 5:30 am brekky and there would be 4 or 5 in front of me. Tom got everyone through the till in no time flat. And it was delicious as well as inexpensive. Good to see that food is still delicious and still inexpensive. And Tom still has that beaming smile! …

Come here every once in a while, and honestly it’s the best schnitzel sandwiches I’ve ever had. They always have recommendations on what to put on it, and one time I was a dollar short and they covered it! They truly know how to take care of their customers and make good food. I 100% recommend coming here!!!

  • Anthony Hollingsworth

Reliably good food and amazed how they can do it for such a great price. If you like food, you'll like AJ's Bakery. A "goto" place for a staple lunch for a great price. Staff are lovely and a lot of customers are known by first name which is always a good sign.

I popped in for some breakfast while waiting for my wife in GESAC, and loved their Steak & Pepper pie ❤️
