Best Gold Coast Pies At A Glance
Best Pies Northern Gold Coast
Yatala Pies
48 Old Pacific Hwy, Yatala QLD 4207
Yatala’s iconic bakehouse has been serving up the goods to happy customers for over 130 years now, which is nothing short of impressive. The 3,500 pies that fly out the door each day at Yatala Pies are testament to the power of a good pie, and the best caramel tarts around, in my humble opinion.
The classic plain steak is a great litmus test for any bakery, and the steak, bacon and cheese pie here is seriously loaded. The huge range of options means multiple visits are needed to sample the wares. It’s tough work, but someone’s gotta do it.

I'm so glad The Kai Kitchen have brought the taste of their New Zealand pies to the Gold Coast. In my opinion they're some of the very best. This pie shop is all about Kiwi-style pies, home baked slices (yes, lolly cake) and old-fashioned New Zealand confectionery.

Cooked fresh all day long with nothing frozen, Little Kiwi Bakehouse pies are huge, and filled with top-notch ingredients. The pulled pork and apple sauce pie is that perfectly lip-smacking mix of sweet and savoury that’ll have you heading back in for seconds (and thirds).

The Outpost Cafe

The Outpost Cafe makes the audacious claim of the home of the best pies in Australia, and while its a hotly contested title, it's hard to disagree.
The Outpost Cafe has garnered a cult-like following, with many Gold Coast locals and those further afield travelling far for a bite of these famous pies. The pies are just as a good pie should be—handmade, hearty and hefty enough that you’d be hard pressed to finish two. Crowd favourites include the chunky steak, lamb and rosemary, steak and mushroom and the steak, bacon and cheese. Tick all the boxes and grab a sausage roll for the road.
