La Madre Bakery

La Madre make the best seeded sourdough I've ever eaten...(and I've tried quite a few). It is by far my favourite bread - crunchy crust, lots of seeds on top and throughout and that wonderful sourdough tang and density.

Buying directly from the bakery in Bell Park makes for major temptation - last visit we bought 4 loaves of different breads plus cake. Such a great range from which to choose! The other benefit of buying from the shop is getting the bread sliced, (which makes for easy freezing when you've bought 4 loaves!) Service is friendly and helpful and the bakers give you a wave from their clean and bright work area, humming with activity.
I'm happy to pay more for this top quality bread. It's in a different league to supermarket or other bread shop products. Glad that it's also available at other shops in the region too in case I'm not in the Bell Park area. Highly recommended.

I found this bakery after going to the pharmacy in the same row of shops. The first day i went in there i bought a chicken and salad roll, which was made infront of me, it was HUGE and delicious!! i now go there every Thursday on my way to work to buy my lunch for the day. The staff is always kind and they have THE best party pies in geelong!!!

after reading a review of this bakery on WOMOW I decided that I had to go and try one of their treats.

The double choc lamington whilst small in size was a delectable delight for my tastebuds.
It was the perfect size for the rich moist chocolate cake, any more and I would not hae enjoyed it so much.

The best lamington I have ever had

Approximate cost: $2.50

The breads in this bakery are tops. If you like traditional breads - sourdough, ciabatta rolls, and gourmet breads that are of good value and quality, this is it .
I love the old-fashioned freshly baked bread smell as if from a small town which makes you want to enjoy the country comfort feel.
