Consistently excellent. I like the fact that they have smaller portioned slices for less. I feel the price is actually reasonable. Do people really expect to get something for a dollar these days. I think not. Keep doing what you're doing because its working. Nice coffee too.

My daughter, niece & I travelled from Melbourne to Ballarat to stay a few days with family. Each morning we walked to Skipton St Bakery for a morning treat. We were served by Winnie each morning. Kind, funny, accommodating & service with a smile. Thank you Winnie for making us feel so welcome. You honestly went above & beyond for us. Your promotion, 'Dance for a Donut' was a great success for the girls, thank you ☺️

Fantastic food. Loved the pies, pasties and vanilla slice. I'm sure every thing in there would taste awesome. Do yourself a favour and stop in for a snack if you are in the area.

Good place to eat something quick..Scrambled eggs around $8 which is not the best but value for money..Coffee is good. They make their own pies and they are good.
