Beloved Bellarine Peninsula bakery, Ket Baker, has opened a new shopfront in Geelong.

The new store, located in Belmont, will bring the same range Ket Baker is renowned for – from 100 per cent sourdough croissants, breads and small batch pastries with a strong emphasis on utilising local produce.

Ket Baker first gained attention for their focus on small batch, handcrafted products. From regular market stalls and operating out of a garage in 2016, Ket Baker owner and head baker Miek Paulus eventually set up a permanent operation out of The Shed in Bellarine.

Speaking with Visit Geelong and the Bellarine, Miek said the decision to open shop in the region was due largely to the strong sense of community in the area.

“We let faith take us there,” she said.

The newest Ket Baker Geelong location opened its doors quietly in early May, and has been welcomed with open arms by the community.
