Real Food. Made Fresh. Every Morning.


There's a reason the line stretches out the door at Mal's every single morning. From the moment we fire up the ovens before sunrise, everything here is made the old-fashioned way — proper pastry, generous fillings, and flavours that take you straight back to your childhood.

Our ovens start before the sun comes up. Everything you see in the cabinet was made this morning — no exceptions.

50 Years of Pies.
One Obsession: Getting It Right.

Mal's Pies & Pastries has been a Townsville institution for over 50 years. What started as a humble local bakery in Oonoonba grew into something the whole city claims as their own.

Today, it's run by Brock — who started out as just another customer. He moved to Townsville, fell in love with the pies, and when the bakery came up for sale, didn't think twice.

No shortcuts. No frozen pastry. No cutting corners on the filling. Just proper baking, done properly, every single day.

Could quite easily be the best bakery in Australia… fresh food, wild range of choices, excellent friendly service.
