About Apollo Bay Bakery

Why stop

Heads up

  • Summer tour-bus arrivals can make the shop busy
Apollo Bay Bakery is a counter-service bakery and cafe on Great Ocean Road in Apollo Bay. It is a useful breakfast or lunch stop on the drive, especially if a hot pie sounds better than another scenic pullout.
