Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Travelled to Meeniyen yesterday & stopped in for a casual lunch. We purchased a selection of yummy sliders (great variety of fillings & very fresh) and ordered a coffee. Super busy but quick service. Almond latte was great.

This place is so alluring, you simply forget time.
Coffee is very good, Melbourne quality.
The bread, cakes & pastries have you stressing if you have enough time during your life to try them all.
This one is truly a must stop & experience.
You’ll be back
Enjoy

We stopped here for coffee’s and hot chocolates. With the line out the door I knew it was going to be good food and drinks. Then a local lady said to me it’s the best place in town.
Well worth the wait for hot drinks, pies were delicious and the jam drops we had were so good. The selection of food there was fantastic.
I wish I had a bakery like this closer to where I live. Staff were very friendly and smiles on their faces. Well done!! We will be back!

This is arguably the best bakery in regional Victoria. From the pastrami salad roll in crispy fresh bread to delicious coffee and cakes, this place is a dieter's nightmare. The bakery was doing so well it had to move up the street to accommodate the increasing patronage.

This seems to be the place to have breakfast or lunch in Meeniyan! The breads and baguettes are wonderful and the pastries on display look amazing. The store is beautiful with lots of artisan products on display. We thought that the coffee was a bit average though - very milky and not strong enough - should probably have ordered an extra shot!

Hello! One of the more memorable food stops on holiday.
Artisanal produce and baked goods. Beautiful interior.
Pie (curry) one of the finest ever eaten.
Kids loved their pastries too. Grabbed some bread for cabin eating.
A cracker bakery worth going out way for.

There’s some great food in this Region, but this bakery belongs in Paris. Amazing breads, wonderful pastry, incredible baguettes. And perfect coffee. Service is calm, businesslike and unintrusive, and the staff are helpful and friendly. They are practicing social distancing, so there is room to breathe, even on a very busy day. Like Arne, I’ll be back. In fact the sirens song might sing on non-Fridays!

Super busy super popular bakery and cafe. Fantastic range of freshly baked breads, pastries and pies. And there’s a selection of enticing cakes, slices and biscuits too.
You’ll need to queue and order/ pay first, and they’ll bring it to you table. Good coffee and perfect tea. The vanilla slice was one of the best we’ve had!
Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Great food and selection. Yummy cakes and the vege pie was to die for. Let down by the listless, grumpy looking staff. Clearly, having to work Australia Day was my fault. I don’t expect hugs and high fives but a smile and thank you when I spend my hard earned goes a long way.

Food is okay but the place never seems to be open. I live nearby and have only seen it open three times since they moved to the new building.

Pandesal Bakery, Meeniyan, Vic.
We had the chicken aioli, walnut and celery slider, the lemon curd and a lemon drizzle, plus a couple of lattes, and they were all tasty. The lemon curd, in particular, was outstanding. All very fresh ingredients. In fact, we waited a few minutes to get the desserts because they were just coming out of the kitchen. Well worth the trip from Melbourne, and would go again to try their bread. The staff was helpful in making our choices. Definitely worth a repeat!

My wife and I went there for brunch and the place was packed. After finally being served brunch was delicious and very fresh.

Service was quick, stopped in a pie (which was perfect on a cold winters morning), came out with a coffee, family quiche and a donut. All were really good. Will definitely call in again.

Stopped in early on a Sunday morning for coffee and an egg and bacon roll. Lots of pastries on offer as well. Located right in the Main Street.

Nothing else!
It is a niche where bread means something.
Great coffee nice and clean you will find some pastry sandwiches and a lot of kindness.
