Mackay's Local Bakery & Cake Shop
Open and baking up a storm 7 days a week, Crusty's Bakery has been a Mackay bakery institution for over 20 years.
Our bakers are specialists in what they do. We utilise classic bakehouse recipes to produce goods that will bring back memories of the good old days of the corner bakehouse that served up unforgettably delicious bread, mouth-watering cakes and piping hot pies and sausage rolls.
Our freshly baked bread contains no dairy, additives or preservatives, while still retaining that time-honoured taste our classic bakehouse recipes are based upon.
Our local community is as close to our hearts as the baked goods and service we provide. Crusty's Bakery is proud to regularly support local organisations, and we often participate in local school and sports teams' food drives by providing a range of our delectable baked goods.
Our bakery offers a wide range of baked goods ranging from cakes and cookies to pastries and breads. We are happy to serve the entire Mackay area day to day and for special occasions.
At Crusty's, we bake custom cakes for any occasion. From birthday cakes and corporate cakes to wedding cakes, we can bring your perfect celebration to life. Explore our custom range.

We are delighted to offer custom designs for our bakes, and this includes our range of cupcakes. No matter your occasion, we guarantee your event will be complete with our world-class cupcakes.

A Tradition of Quality and Community in Every Bite
At Crusty’s Bakery, baking is more than just a job—it’s a lifelong passion. As a proud bakery Mackay residents know and trust, we’re committed to preserving the rich tradition of handmade baked goods. From crusty artisan loaves to delicate sweets, every product we create is a celebration of taste, quality and community.
We believe that the heart of a good bakery lies not only in its recipes but also in its relationship with the community. That’s why we take time to get to know our customers and their preferences. Whether you stop by for your morning coffee and croissant or a custom cake for a special event, you’ll always be met with a warm welcome and something fresh from the oven.
Specialty Bakes for Every Occasion
Looking for something a little different? We offer a rotating selection of seasonal treats and limited-edition specials to reflect the best of what each season has to offer. Whether it’s an Easter hot cross bun, an Anzac biscuit or a festive Yule log, our team puts extra care into every seasonal creation.
Planning a birthday, anniversary or work function? Our custom cakes and cupcakes can be tailored to any theme or dietary requirement. Simply let us know your vision and we’ll make it happen—deliciously. We work with buttercream, ganache, fondant and more to deliver a cake that not only looks amazing but tastes incredible too.
Why Locals Love Crusty's
There are plenty of reasons our customers keep coming back to Crusty’s. Some love our nostalgic approach to baking, which brings back memories of family bakeries from years gone by. Others appreciate our commitment to freshness and transparency, with ingredients you can trust and no hidden nasties.
But perhaps the biggest reason is our service. At Crusty's, you’re not just a customer—you’re part of the family. Whether we’re helping you plan catering for a baby shower or packing your child’s favourite finger bun after school, we’re here to make your day that little bit sweeter.
Fresh Ingredients, Handcrafted Goodness
Our baking process starts with carefully sourced ingredients—flour milled to perfection, local dairy (for non-vegan options), rich chocolate, fresh fruit and quality spices. We knead, roll, whip and bake everything on-site to guarantee freshness and flavour.
We never cut corners when it comes to our bakes. That means no preservatives, no shortcuts and no compromise on taste. Our artisan breads are slow-fermented to develop natural flavour and a chewy, satisfying crust, while our cakes and pastries are made with real eggs, butter and the kind of love only a small-batch bakery can offer.
