Dorset Cafe - Maroondah

I tried the Lobster Mushroom pie and found it to be nice and worth sampling, although it's not something I would necessarily order again. However, the rest of the menu is quite good as well.

I was staying near the Bakery when I was in Melbourne. I walked there in the morning which had a temperature of 5 degree C. This place sells (in my opinion or decided by my taste bud) one of the best pies in the world. I love the beef pies. Bought also chicken pies too. Went there a second time a few days later and got a scallop pie (of course the beef pies as well). The other seafood pies were not available at that time. I will go again if I return to Melbourne (which I hope to).

Delicious pies and great customer service. They have award winning pies. The baked cheese cake is a bit gooey and I regretted not trying the lemon slice instead. Regardless, this is a local gem and we always get our pies here.

OMG. What a gem. Couldn’t believe this place was close to where I live. Had the Pepper Beef pie. Best damn pie I have ever eaten. Had to buy a couple of vanilla slices as well. Good thing is they also cater for Vegetarians and Vegans my sons partner is Vegan). Beautifully clean and laid out store. Staff are quick, friendly and attentive. Only down side is parking can be a bit of a nightmare, but you can park down the road and walk. <br/ <br/ I highly recommend this to all you pie lovers.

Love the variety of pies they have to offer. We tried the award winning ones (plain beef, pork pepper and satay seafood). They obviously use good quality ingredients, the flavours were great. Also tried the fruit tart which was really nice the texture of the custard was really smooth. Will have to come back to try their famous vanilla slice.
