About Paddock Bakery

Paddock Bakery is a highly successful café and bakery originating in Burleigh Heads QLD, famous for their wood fired sourdough, 1kg cookies and “cruffins”. Paddock Bakery is the Gold Coast’s best and most awarded café for breakfast and lunch. Already with over 100k followers on Instagram, Paddock Bakery is looking to take Greater Geelong by storm and become a world-class destination within the historical Federal Mills precinct. 

The heart and soul of Paddock Bakery is our hand-built red brick wood fire ovens. This is where it all started, and we are excited to keep the flame alive into our new venue. All we need now is a passionate, energetic team to bring their creative flair and assist with the opening and development of the business. Paddock Bakery is looking to open their Geelong bakery in early 2024.
