The Semaphore Bakehouse

First time in this bakery will definitely be back, good to see someone still makes Pies with a runny gravy. Loved the Curry and plain pie even with the meaty chunks.We'll be back again as it's worth the trip from the northern suburbs...

Super friendly staff/owners. Baked on the premises, so much to choose from. Yum

Yummy, great pies pasties and cakes

Great selection and a broad range of delicious foods.

Terrific cheese cakes. Nice staff. And great scones.

I have been going here for over 5 years the staff are always smiling they use chunky meat in there pies best pure flavour

Lady behind the counter was rude, and unprofessional. Didn’t ask if we wanted sauce, and didn’t smile or look like she wanted to be there. Only reason it’s two stars is because the food was good as always.

Good bread and rolls. Had a Curry Chicken pie which didn't have a lot of chicken in it and the curry was mild. Think I picked the wrong flavour.

Passing through Adelaide on my way through to Perth, I stayed at the Largs Pier Hotel near Semaphore on the beach.If you ever stay in Adelaide, I recommend the Semaphore area as it is a really nice beach side suburb with a lot to offer. The Souvlaki/yeros shop does a great souvlaki too.I was up early to point my way to Perth and the only thing open in Semaphore was the Semaphore Bakehouse. This is an old school bakery so don’t expect any brisket jalapeno type pies. As such, I selected the steak bacon and cheese which I think was a recent addition as it was added in texta on the overhead menu board.Reviews are mixed on Google so I did not have high expectations. Therefore I was pleasantly surprised.The pastry was spot on and I rated it 8/10.The filling was quite good. The bacon was the square cubed type but there was visible cheese and I was not dissatisfied with the taste. It was not great but also not bad. 7/10At $6.00 for a 254g pie, this was great value 9/10As an aside, I now travel with a thermometer as well as a set of scales. The temp of this pie was 66 degrees which is quite hot but at the upper limit of what I can still scoff without waiting. It seems the average is 62 degrees.I give this pie a solid 8/10 rating.
