Prize-winning pies since 1910 — and freshly renovated for 2026. A Queensland institution at the top of the Blackbutt Range, famous for the Big Mack pie and a cabinet that empties by lunch.
Doing a roaring trade in prize-winning pies since 1910, Blackbutt Bakery is a Queensland institution — the kind of country bakery that national TV and radio listeners have consistently crowned among the best in the state.
You'll find us on Coulson Street, right on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail in the town known as the Gateway to the South Burnett. After a big ride, there's only one thing better than coffee — and that's coffee with something from this cabinet. Riders, road-trippers and locals all end up in the same queue.
"When national TV and radio station listeners have consistently crowned this bakery's pies the best in Queensland, you know you're in for a treat." — Queensland Country Tourism
In July 2026 the bakery closed its doors for two days of upgrades and reopened with brand-new, lower-profile display cabinets — with a new accessibility ramp, extended outdoor seating and an express bread window on the way. The bakery is also a proud Silver Sponsor of the 2026 Blackbutt Avocado Festival.
Award-winning pies, old-school slices and fresh bread — the full Blackbutt range. The word from regulars: get in early, because the pies regularly sell out by lunchtime.
Feeding a crowd? Blackbutt's family pies are made to order — the same award-winning fillings in a full-size pie for the table. The bakery proudly supplies the Blackbutt State School Pie Drive, so your order supports the local school too. Order ahead on (07) 4170 0563.
At the 2012 Official Great Aussie Pie Competition, Blackbutt Bakery's flavours took gold, silver and bronze against the best pie makers in the country. More than a decade on, Queenslanders are still voting them onto the podium.
And the recent honours: QLD Day Winner for Best Pie — 2025 · 3rd Best Bakery in Queensland — Queensland Day "All The Best" Awards, 2026, voted by the Queensland public.
Croissants, donuts, scrolls and cookies — alongside the pies that made the town famous.
Rated 4.8 stars across 800+ Google reviews — here's what travellers say, in their own words.
"The queues of people tell you this bakery is 'not to miss'. … The range of food here is simply incredible. I can vouch for the cranberry and white chocolate cookies, very, very nice… The chicken salad roll was very nice and my husband said the honey pork pie was delicious…"
"The best pies ever… delicious fillings with exactly the right amount of gravy. We tried the lamb and rosemary and the steak and kidney. … Obviously a popular place with locals as there was a queue into the street."
"The Blackbutt Bakery in Queensland is famous for its pies according to three of our members, Dianne Kohn, Kathy Elliott (whose vote goes to the pie with mushy peas) and Rosemary Robinson, who also said they do a 'pretty mean bee sting, too'."
"The chunky steak pies were hot and tasty, the pastry was good too. Took away a vanilla slice for arvo's — it was one of the best. Pies sell out at lunchtime — make sure you get in early."
Find us on Coulson Street in Blackbutt, right on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail — the first stop at the top of the Range, and the Gateway to the South Burnett. Open every day from 6am.
