Starfish Bakery

Starfish Bakery, a cherished family-owned establishment in Barwon Heads, has been delighting patrons for over 25 years. Located at 78 Hitchcock Avenue, it offers a vibrant atmosphere with a colorful interior and a leafy courtyard. The bakery is renowned for its handmade sourdough loaves, baked fresh daily, and a diverse café menu featuring fresh options, warming soups, and delectable sweet treats. Signature items like the 'squishy'—an egg and bacon roll with herbed mayo—and mixed fruit muffins are local favorites. The bakery operates Monday to Sunday, 7 am to 3 pm, and is closed on Tuesdays. As of January 2025, the Fox family announced their decision to retire, with plans to sell the business, marking the end of an era for this beloved local institution.
