Among all the amazing bakeries in Victoria, for us, Fol Epi is the best of the best. An excellent line up of beautiful European-style breads, pastries, cakes, and cookies made from fine quality ingredients. A short walk towards Vic West will take you to their sister bakery at Dockside Green, where grain is milled and the bread is baked in a wood-fired oven.
