Pyney’s 🥧 Reviews
Scotty’s Bakehouse
(Collaroy Plateau NSW)
December 2025
The last of my northern beaches reviews was up just up the hill at Collaroy Plateau. Don’t be alarmed if I’ve missed any epic bakeries in this area, please message them through as i will be back in a few months. In the meantime I was on my way to meet Scotty the owner and operator of Scotty’s bakehouse
The bakery is located Shop 3, 65 Veterans Pde, Collaroy Plateau in the same shopping complex as the IGA. The bakery has been around for over 40 years and was previously owned by Pete from Elenora Heights Bakery (I reviewed is 🥧’s in 2024) Scotty took over the bakery 18 years ago and now expanded to 16 plus staff and is open every day bar Sunday.
Apart from the signed Manly jersey hanging on the wall 😂, the bakery is presented beautifully. Scott is qualified pastry chef and has specialized in cakes and pastries. The selection of birthday cakes, sponge cakes, actually every cake in the cabinets looked spectacular. The craftsmanship and work that goes into making these cakes needs to be seen. Every old school product is here and a available, but as always my mind was firmly on the 🥧’s and I was super excited to get started.
Around 10 to 11 classic flavours on the menu to choose from, all old school and something here for everyone. I had my eye on one particular 🥧 in the warmer, but didn’t know the exact flavour. It turned out to be Scotty’s “Cheese n Bacon” This thing looked magic and if it tasted as good as it looked i was in for a epic time.
🥧 THE REVIEW 🥧
1. Value for Money – $7 was very good value for this particular flavoured 🥧, considering I was in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The 🥧 was also a decent size in depth and diameter and weight in just above industry standard. 8.5/10
2. Meat/Fill Ratio – Full !!! Nothing more to say. 10/10
3. Flavour – The overall flavour was really good and the combination of ingredients was the exact amount. You could easily taste the bacon with every bite and it wasn’t salty which was a added bonus. The cheese was the exact amount and wasn’t overpowering. The mince was cooked beautifully and tasted great. Great job on the flavour. 8.5/10
4. Pastry – To be honest the pastry wasn’t far away from being perfect. The shape, color, shrinkage and stability were all very good, particularly the color, also the pastry flavour was terrific. The top bake thickness and bake was on point, but a little extra puff would have been handy. The bottom bake was baked right through but was a smidge on the thick side. Apart from these small issues everything was great. 8.5/10
5. Serving Temperature – Perfect serving temp !!! 10/10
Overall Rating
🥧🥧 45.5/50 🥧🥧
Scott, Randal and the entire team have done a fantasic job with this product and all the products I sampled. I really enjoyed this 🥧 and it’s a flavour that isn’t a first choice of mine. The scores were very consistent across all five categories, but the flavour and pastry great. I particularly loved the amount of cheese and bacon in this 🥧 it was the perfect amount. Yes, there were a few things to work on, but nothing that can be fixed or tweaked. Would I have another one? Yes and yes, this particular flavored 🥧 is highly recommended. Great job team.
This hidden gem is a absolute beauty and needs to be visited. There is a great variety on offer, with plenty of parking. 100% highly recommended.
Scott, thank you so much for your incredible hospitality, this was a awesome visit. You run a quality joint with sensational products and you knowledge of this industry is amazing. Almost 30 years in the industry and showing no signs of slowing down. You are one of the nicest, down to earth pieman I’ve met and it was a pleasure to meet you. I will 100% be back.
As always thanks for the ongoing support and keep supporting 🇦🇺 bakeries and don’t forget to invite all your friends to the page.
