Horners of Sorrento Bakery Patisserie

Horners of Sorrento Bakery Patisserie is a family-run Gold Coast bakery and patisserie with a long connection to the local community. The website identifies the bakery as being on Bundall Road in Sorrento, while the venue is listed for the Surfers Paradise area. Its range centres on celebration cakes, pastries, bread and hors d’oeuvres, with both dine-in and takeaway available from the onsite cafe.

The bakery’s best-known offerings are its artisan breads and award-winning pies, made with locally sourced ingredients. Customers can also order cakes, pastries, bread and hors d’oeuvres online, making it a practical option for gatherings and celebrations as well as a casual visit. Coffee and baked goods are available at the cafe, which opens from early morning Monday to Saturday. The listed trading hours run until 5.30pm Monday to Friday and 4.30pm on Saturday, with the bakery closed on Sunday.

There is space to stay awhile, with undercover tables and parking available at the venue. That setup suits a morning coffee, a takeaway stop or a relaxed catch-up, while the broad selection of baked goods gives groups and families plenty to choose from without needing a full restaurant-style meal. Solo visitors can also drop in for coffee and something from the bakery counter.

Horners’ story began in England, where Karl and Patricia Horner opened their first bakery in Gillingham in 1960 before bringing the business to the Gold Coast in 1976. Their son Rob now operates the family business with two other family members. The bakery says it has retained its focus on cakes and pies across three generations, while supporting nearby suppliers, local producers and community fundraising events. That combination of family history, everyday cafe service and traditional bakery production gives the venue a distinctly local feel.
