I love this place! You can eat inside or sit at the sidewalk tables.
It is on the Square and great for people watching.
History.
Mark Allen and Neville Steel go way back. All the way back to Boort, a small town in Victoria, Australia. Childhood mates, later reunited while attending bakery school, they ran a cafe together in Bendigo, Victoria. Mark came to the U.S. in 1991, working in the corporate food industry and it was Mark who introduced the Australian meat pie to America. Neville visited Mark in 1999, and the two decided to become business partners once again, and open the Australian Bakery Cafe.
The shop opened on Marietta Square in December 2001, and draws locals as well as Aussie and New Zealand expatriates from all over the Southeast. Being the only authentic Aussie meat pie on the eastern coast, homesick Aussies arrange their travel so that they pass through Marietta. The Bakery also ships Australian Pies and other products nationwide, and supplies the Australian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
