Samuel Gee Pies and Pastries

Best Known For

Gourmet pies such as curried scallop.

It’s not breakfast, lunch or tea without a Samuel Gee – that’s the motto of Samuel Gee Pies and Pastries. No visit to Balaclava is complete without a stop at this seventh-generation bakery on the corner of Old Hume Highway and Crimea Street, nestled in a quaint cottage with a bicycle hanging from the ceiling and named after the family Labrador. Expect to find more than 48 varieties of pies from yabby to curried scallop and everything in between; along with Australia’s best Cornish pasty 2021 as voted by the Baking Association of Australia. Devour a steak and mushroom, or lamb and rosemary creation with a cold beer to appease hunger pangs, or wrap your hands around a chicken and bacon burger; those with a sweet tooth are satisfied with choices such as Cherry Ripe slice or carrot cake.
