Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 2 October 2026.
Five bakery shops, two chains. Three are Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse branches and two are Zet & Zaatar bakeries. None has Craigieburn South in its address: two are in Craigieburn, one is in Kalkallo and two are in Mickleham, all under postcode 3064.
We could read no price lists on their pages, so this page prints no prices. None of the pages we read names a coffee roaster either, so there is no roaster to report. Where a shop’s hours come from a listing we can name, they are printed. Where two listings disagree, they are left out.
One address needs a flag. Ferguson Plarre’s own store page prints the Merrifield City shop as 250 – 270 Donnybrook Rd, Localsearch prints 250, and the Zet & Zaatar listing in the same centre prints 270. Navigate by the centre’s name and Shop K003.

Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse Craigieburn Central — Craigieburn Central, 340 Craigieburn Road, Craigieburn VIC 3064
Ferguson Plarre’s own store page calls the Craigieburn Central shop “a family favourite for everything from party cakes and croissant platters to coffees and pies for lunch”. It lists “Eftpos, Uber Eats available.” Craigieburn Central’s own listing describes the bakehouse as “your one-stop destination for delicious, freshly baked goods”. The chain’s store page and the centre’s page show slightly different opening hours, so this page prints none.

OpenStreetMap tags the node shop=bakery under the brand Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse.

A manoush is a Lebanese flatbread baked with a topping, often za’atar and olive oil, and an empanada is a filled, folded pastry. The Base’s announcement page says the shop is “Open now in Precinct 1, with a successful grand opening on 25th May”, without giving a year. Zet & Zaatar’s own locations page lists the shop at “Premises 1/650 Hume Hwy”, and its homepage lists “BARISTA COFFEE”. The Base’s tenant page lists the shop’s hours as Monday-Friday 5:00am - 9:00pm and Saturday & Sunday 6:00am - 9:00pm.

For brekkie, the brand’s homepage lists “BREAKFAST A hearty spread of freshly baked bread, free-range eggs your way” and “BARISTA COFFEE”.
