Where the tradition of baking meets modern excellence
Henry's Bakery Cafe has a rich history, dating back to 1979 when Derek Lawson established the North Coast's first Hot Bread Shop at 74 Keen Street. The business was named "Henry's" in honour of Henry Lawson, the famous Australian writer and bush poet, as it sounded better than "Derek's Hot Bread". Over the years, the business has evolved and expanded to include cakes, pies, pastries, and catering services, making it a one-stop-shop for all bakery and cafe needs.
The family's baking legacy extends to four generations, with Michael Lawson joining the team in 1989. This ensured that the business remained in family hands and upheld the tradition of providing high-quality bakery products. Today, Henry's Bakery Cafe continues to operate more like a 1920s bakery, using traditional methods that result in top-quality products.
