Tucked just off the main street of Blackheath you will find this fantastic bakery - their pies are flakey and delicious. They have opened up another store in Leura but the original store as a lovely charm to it.

The quirky interior is a must-see when you're in Katoomba. The food is fine but not extraordinary, I recommend a stop in for a coffee or a smoothy to soak up the ambiance.
