Bakers Cottage Cafe is a bakery, cafe and drive-through in Metford, serving the Maitland and wider Newcastle area. Its offering centres on familiar Australian bakery fare, including pies, pasties, sausage rolls, cakes, bread and other baked goods. The website also highlights 13 awards for the quality of its pies, giving those baked staples a particular point of interest for first-time visitors.
The venue caters for both dine-in visits and quick drive-through stops. Inside, Bakers Cottage presents itself as somewhere to relax with barista-made coffee or tea, as well as picking up something from the bakery range. That combination makes it suitable for a casual catch-up, a solo coffee and snack, or a convenient stop when you are after baked goods rather than a full restaurant meal.
Bakers Cottage Cafe says it has served the Hunter Region since 2001. Alongside its cafe trade, it offers custom cakes for celebrations, with its bakers able to tailor cakes to customers’ specifications. Wholesale pies, cakes and other treats are also available, and online ordering, catering and multiple locations are listed on the website. For locals in Maitland and Newcastle, it is a practical option for dine-in bakery fare, takeaway purchases, celebration cakes or larger orders.
