Since discovering Gaffney’s I take an hours detour to visit Heathcote. The Apple tart is truly amazing - beautifully presented and delicious. The pastry, whether sweet or savory, is what makes this bakery unique. The Double Chili pie knocks the socks off anyone that way inclined, however my chicken & leek pie was a delight. Can’t wait to visit to buy a specialty birthday cake and really keen to try their crumpets.

The pies are so good here. Lots of range. Curry or the bacon and cheese are the best. Top quality food, It is usually busy but worth the wait. Great service

Approximate cost: $20

I have stopped in Gaffney's a few times now each time thinking they can't possibly be rude everytime to all these ppl or they wouldn't be in Business? or is it just me?

Well again yet another visit to gaffney's thinking I might just get better service this time, I was wrong.
Three times the girl called out " can I help anyone?" I raised my hand as I do and again nothing, I'm a little over Gaffney's and don't think I'll even bother again, their stuff isn't that great anyway, I've had better and I didn't in the end get what I'd asked for so all in all another disappointing visit there on my way through.
The Pastry on the tart was way to think as was the pastry on the vanilla slice was tough and rubbery and the custard in the vanilla slice was a little old, It seemed like it had been standing for some time. And I feel they are overpriced, $4.50 for a vanilla slice is a tad much.

Hi Lian,
I am sorry that you have not had a pleasant expreience on your last few visit's with us. We do have a constant battle trying to serve the next customer waiting due to the size of our shop and the large amount of customers we get through the door each day. We have tried mutliple systems and find that by not forcing our customers into a line it allows them to browse and take their time. This being said our staff will obviously have to improve on observing who the next customer is. With regards to the Vanilla slice ($4.00) I am sorry that it didn't meet with your expectations. I have spoken with our bakers and have made sure that the quality of the Vanilla slice will be more consistant each day. Regards, Dave Gaffney (manager)

The best country bakery in Victoria. They have such an extensive range of products, all top quality. My favourite pie is the chicken bacon and mustard pie but they have one so many awards over the years for their pies. Service is great and staff very friendly and make you feel in a comfortable warm environment

Approximate cost: $8

I stopped into Gaffney's a few weeks ago on the way back from Wallan and had one of their sausage rolls and a muffin. Both tasted good although a little pricey. Service was a bit slow but the lady who served us was very cheery and talkative. I bought a loaf of bread to take home for later and it still tasted rather fresh the following day.

The bakery had been recommended by a friend so early one market day we gave it a try. So glad we did. They have a wide range of pastries breads and pies. We had a large portion of coffee scroll and coffee all round.The waitress was prompt with our order.The coffee was good and the scroll was scrumptious. We will definitely call again.
