Pigeon Whole Bakers

Pigeon Whole Bakers sits on Argyle Street in central Hobart, in the heart of the Tasmanian capital. A celebrated artisan bakery, it's earned a strong reputation for its beautifully made, traditionally crafted bread, pastries and treats — the kind of dedicated, craft-focused spot that draws a devoted following for genuinely exceptional baking.

The appeal is that focus on quality, handmade baking done with real care, in a convenient central location, perfect for a fresh loaf, a morning pastry or something delicious to take away. In a city renowned for its food, a bakery that's earned this kind of reputation becomes a genuine destination, and Pigeon Whole's outstanding baking has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.6 rating from 1,000 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. The range, daily baking, opening hours and pricing vary, and a sought-after bakery can sell out of favourites and gets busy, so it's worth checking current details and arriving early before a special trip — particularly if you've got your heart set on a specific loaf or pastry, as the best of the baking goes quickly in Hobart.
