Pinjarra Bakery is THE ultimate destination for pie lovers!

Our family-owned business has been baking and creating delicious pies, pastries, and desserts for over 27 years. We take great pride in providing our vibrant community with an unmatched, simple, feel-good experience.

Our pies are renowned for their quality, delectable fillings, and unique flavour combinations, making them a crowd favourite. And we’re not just saying that – Pinjarra Bakery has won the Best Meat Pie in Australia title twice, in 2019 and 2021.

But that’s not all we have to offer. Our selection of freshly made wraps and crusty baguettes enjoyed with our signature Baker’s Blend coffee brewed locally over Jarrah wood fire, is simply unbeatable. And if you’re planning a work function or special event, our in-house catering service will ensure it’s a tasty success.

PB is never too far away, with four locations in Pinjarra, Waroona, Maddington, and Port Kennedy. Exciting expansion plans are in place for 2025—watch this space.
