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 3 October 2026.
Six bakeries and sweet shops had enough on the public record for us to stand behind them. Pastry cabinet or bread counter, donut or cheesecake: pick a lane.
None of them has a South Morang address. Five are in Mernda and one is at Westfield Plenty Valley in Mill Park, so this is a page for the suburbs around South Morang. What follows is built from each place’s own pages and listed hours. We copied no menu prices, so there are no prices on this page.

Ferguson Plarre Mernda Village — 7a/59 Mernda Village Drive, Mernda VIC 3754
Ferguson Plarre’s Mernda Village page says its bakery is “all about fresh coffee, sweet treats, and cakes Melbourne families adore”. It also mentions “a donut and latte on the go”. The page lists Monday to Friday 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sunday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. That is the earliest weekday opening we could confirm on this page. Prices sit in an online shop we did not read, so none are printed here.
Go for: a donut and latte on the go, which is how the venue’s own page puts it.
Bakers Delight Mernda Village — Shop 6, 59 Mernda Village Drive, Mernda VIC 3754
This one is in the same centre, Mernda Village Shopping Centre. The centre’s store page says “it’s freshly baked bread!” and lists 6am to 7pm for every day of the week. Bakers Delight’s own store page loads its details by script, so the hours here are the centre’s listing, not the chain’s. Check them before a bread run.
Go for: bread, going by the centre’s own description.
Ferguson Plarre Plenty Valley Westfield Bakery — 5/415-481 McDonalds Road, Westfield Plenty Valley, Mill Park VIC 3082
The only Mill Park entry. Ferguson Plarre’s page for this shop says “Stop by for a sweet treat like donuts or vanilla slices, or take home our famous YoYo biscuits.” Its page lists Monday to Wednesday 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Thursday and Friday 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Westfield’s own page shows a different, dated list, so check which applies on the day you go. The postcode comes from Westfield’s centre address.
Go for: the vanilla slice or a donut, the two sweet treats the venue’s page names.
Turners Bakehouse Eatery — 107 Schotters Road, Mernda VIC 3754
Turners is a bakery and cafe in Mernda. The Whittlesea council directory describes “authentic artisan sourdough and outstanding handmade cakes and pastries”. It lists breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and “High Tea on Sundays”, with takeaway, dine-in and outdoor dining. Turners’ own site says “Step back in time into Turners original Victorian cottage and garden.” We have not printed its hours here; Turners’ own site lists them, so check there before you go.
Go for: the Sunday high tea, as the council directory lists it.
The Cheesecake Shop Mernda — 180 Riverdale Boulevard, Mernda VIC 3754
The Cheesecake Shop is in Mernda Town Centre. The Mernda Town Centre site lists Monday to Saturday 9:00am to 7:00pm, Sunday 10:00am to 6:00pm and public holidays 10:00am to 6:00pm. The brand’s own site says its skilled bakers “handcraft each cake” in its bakeries across Australia and New Zealand. That is a chain-wide statement, not a claim about this shop’s kitchen.
Go for: a cake, and note the hours: its 7:00pm close from Monday to Saturday is later than either Ferguson Plarre’s.
Daniel’s Donuts Mernda — 1435 Plenty Road (Mernda Junction Shopping Centre), Mernda VIC 3754
The Mernda Junction centre site features the shop as “Fresh Donuts, Pies and Coffee”, with “a delicious fresh donut, meaty pie or coffee”. A delivery-platform listing calls it “a donut shop known for its extensive range of donuts”, including gluten-free and vegan options. We did not copy delivery-platform prices because they include mark-ups, and we have no opening hours for it.
Go for: a donut, with coffee or a pie, as the centre’s site describes the shop.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 3 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, fergusonplarre.com.au, merndavillage.com.au, westfield.com.au, the places’ own websites, council pages, the Australian Good Food Guide, merndatowncentre.au, merndajunction.com.au and a delivery-platform listing. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
