About Top of the Hill Bakery

This North Lakes stalwart fuels early risers and midday crowds with a fully loaded hot carvery and baker's case. Tradies and morning runners drop by at dawn for flat whites and warm pastry, while lunchtime queues line up for pork and gravy rolls straight from the bain-marie. Behind the counter, bakers turn out crusty loaves alongside hearty bacon and cheese pies, garlic sausage rolls, and jalapeño steak pockets. Handcrafted sourdough loaves and sweet scrolls round out the racks. For family milestones, the kitchen even turns around custom decorated birthday cupcakes on short notice.

  • Carvery & Hot Box Lunches: Generous pork and lamb gravy rolls, made-to-order sandwiches, and savoury pies fresh from the bain-marie.
  • Dawn Counter Service: Doors open early for post-run coffees, breakfast pastries, and early morning trade runs.
  • Short-Notice Event Cakes: Custom decorated cupcakes and celebration bakes whipped up on same-day timelines.
