The Lobethal Bakery
A much-loved country bakery turning out German-influenced breads, pies and pastries in the heart of the valley.
Lobethal was founded by Lutheran settlers in 1842, and the town's bakery still carries a whiff of that heritage in its rye loaves, fruit stollen and beesting cake. It's the kind of place where the queue out the door at 9am is a local institution.
The pies are the headline act - chunky, properly seasoned, with pastry that shatters. But don't leave without something sweet: the German-style baking comes into its own around Christmas, when Lobethal lights up for its famous festival of lights.
Grab a coffee, sit on the main street, and watch a Hills town go about its morning.
