Baked On Berserker
(Rockhampton QLD)
Oct 2025
After leaving Townsville I made my way down the Bruce Hwy and decided to stay a few nights in the coastal town of Yeppoon. I have reviewed most of the bakeries in this area on previous trips, but there was a new one in Rockhampton I wanted to visit while I was here.
Baked on Berserker opened its doors on the 16th September last year. Previously known as Burnies Pies, the bakery has been in its current location for many years but new owners Michael and Charelle have given the place a complete make over.
Baked on Berserker is located on Berserker Street North Rockhampton and is open five days a week. Michael and Charelle have returned to the industry and this new place is the 4th bakery the couple have owned. After the sale of their previous bakery, Michael was working as a corporate accountant and Charelle was busy looking after the kids.
While only small they have done a terrific job with the fit out. The cabinets are completely full with all the usual items and there is a great selection of 🥧’s on offer. Speaking of 🥧’s I was getting a little hungry and was keen to get started.
The menu board is filled with all the usuals but I couldn’t go past the old breaky favourite “Cheese n Bacon”. The top of this 🥧 looked really good and I couldn’t wait to get started.
🥧 THE REVIEW 🥧
1. Value for Money – $6.30 represents more than reasonable value. It was a standard size 🥧 in depth and diameter, and weighed a healthy 260g. Plus it was totally full. 8.5/10
2. Meat/Fill Ratio – Full !!! No room at all. 10/10
3. Flavour – No complaints here, the flavor was great. I particularly liked the bacon in the🥧, it tasted amazing. The meat was also cooked right through and tasted great. The only negative was that the gravy sauce was a little runny. Overall the flavour was terrific. 8.5/10
4. Pastry – The color and shape were spot on, while the shrinkage was only minimal. The pastry had a really nice flavour to it especially the top bake. The top bake was cooked to perfectation and the melted cheese tasted great. As the gravy sauce was a little runny, it made the stability a little tricky. Also, the bottom bake was a little thick and slightly underdone. Apart from those minor issues the overall pastry was pretty good. 8/10
5. Serving Temperature – A little on the hot side but nothing to worry about. Only had to wait a minute or so before tucking in. 9/10
Overall Rating
🥧🥧 44/50 🥧🥧
This was terrific product and the scores were very consistent right across the 5 categories. The flavour for me was on point as was the price. To be fair there wasn’t much wrong with this 🥧 only a few minor tweaks. Michael has done a really good job with this 🥧 and I would have no hesitation smashing down another one.
To Michael and Charelle a massive thanks for having me in to your new bakery. You guys have done a wonderful job and are going to smash it. If you are passing through Rockhampton make sure you pop into this new hidden gem, your not going to be disappointed.
Although only brief my stay in Yeppoon and Rockhampton was sensational. The Beachside Holiday Caravan Park in Yeppoon is a terrific location to park up for a few days. Sites are generous and the park is right on the beach !!! Highly recommended.
