Country Cob Bakery
(Springvale VIC)
JUNE 2025
After leaving the Mornington Peninsula, I started to make my way over to Warragul Vic, the plan was to stay with friends and explore this entire area. Along the way I decided to pop into one of 🇦🇺’s most recognition and acknowledged bakeries. I was referring to the multi award winning Country Cob Bakery.
Country Cob has 3 locations in Vic Kyneton, Boronia and Springvale, plus 2 kiosks in Sydney. All stores are open 7 days and this baking juggernaut employs over 50 staff. The day of my visit I went to there Springvale store and met one of the owners Ryan.
Brothers Ryan and Chan moved out from Cambodia many years ago and started baking. Chan has been in the game 17 years and Ryan 9. They still have close ties to Cambodia as they still own a business there selling computer parts and accessories.
First opened in 2016 Country Cob Bakery has become one of the best bakeries in Aus. Thus far these talented brothers have won more than 350 medals and trophies for their pies and pastries. On top of that they have taken out Australia’s Best Pie Maker 3 years in a row in 2018, 2019 & 2020, making them the first reining champions in the history of that particular Pie Competition. In 2022 the brothers were invited to “Master Class” on the popular Master Chef TV show. The boys demonstrated their 🥧making skills to contestants and viewers across the nation.
The Springvale store has a phenomenal cabinet display and fantastic electronic screens to help you decide what your going to order. The food on display is mouth watering and there is plenty of seating inside to sit and relax. I was getting a little hangry looking at all these incredible products so we decided to get started with this review.
The menu here is totally off the charts and these guys have been the bench mark for years especially creating new gourmet flavours. The menu board boasts flavours such as Cambodian Chicken, Lobster Laksa and the awarding winning Fish Amok. For this week I decided to review their BBQ Beef Mac & Cheese. This 🥧 took out best gourmet 🥧2024 and OMG it looked awesome.
🥧 THE REVIEW 🥧
1. Value for Money – $8.90 is 100% creeping up there, but this was a decent sized 🥧. The 🥧 didn’t get weighed but it felt heavy and was totally full. Overall still decent value, but you wouldn’t want it creeping over the $9 mark 8/10
2. Meat/Fill Ratio – Totally full, nothing more to report. 10/10
3. Flavour – Unbelievable !! This was a awesome flavoured 🥧. The huge pieces of slow cooked meat were super tender and tasted great. The mac and cheese was the perfect amount and the BBQ sauce was sensational. Nothing more to say, but epic flavoured 🥧. 10/10
4. Pastry – colour, shape, stability and shrinkage were all fantasic and couldn’t be faulted. The pastry flavour was devine as was the top bake and bake thickness. The only negative was the bottom bake was slightly underdone on the bake and was a smidge too thick. Apart from this the pastry was near perfect
9/10
5. Serving Temperature – Perfect serving temp. No issues at all. 10/10
Overall Rating
🥧🥧 47.5/50 🥧🥧
This was a wonderful 🥧 as was all the 🥧’s I sampled that day. To be fair it was really close to a pefect score. The flavour was easily the best part and I’m gunna say it was the best steak, mac and cheese 🥧 I’ve ever tasted, a very worthy best gourmet 🥧 winner. The pastry was almost perfect, with only a couple very minor issues that could have been a once off. The price was creeping up there but still worth the money. Overall this was a excellent 🥧 and I loved every minute on it. The boys have nailed this one well done.
This is one bakery you don’t wanna miss. If your a lover of exotic flavours particularly seafood your going to love this joint. 100% add this place to your list you won’t be dissapointed.
A massive thanks to Ryan and Chan for having me in. This place was defiantly a bucket list place for me and although it’s taken me 4 years to get here the wait was totally worth it. These lads have done, won and achieved everything in this industry and are considered industry leaders and yet they still strive for excellence. Despite there enormous success, there are the most humble men I’ve ever met and willing to help out anyone, true gentleman and absolute legends. You will 100% be seeing me again and I won’t be waiting 4 years.
As always thanks for the ongoing support and keep supporting 🇦🇺 bakeries and don’t forget to invite all your friends to the page.
