Multiple-award winning bakery, Country Cob opened their third branch in Springvale.

Country Cob Bakery owner Chan Khun migrated to Australia from Cambodia in 2004 and found his passion for baking when he completed a patisserie course at TAFE.

Chan started Country Cob Bakery with his brother Ryan in 2016 and opened his Springvale store on Princes Highway in June last year after successfully running two other stores in Kyneton and Boronia.

After being open for only six months, the Springvale bakery has taken out top honours in one of the nation’s largest bakery competitions.

Their pastry perfection and innovative flavour combination earnt them a total of 17 medals, 14 of which were gold at the Official Great Aussie Pie Competition last year.

Being awarded these prestigious titles is a highly anticipated achievement.

“We work very hard on creating our products. Our ultimate goal is for our customers to enjoy every bite of our pies and pastries and of course come back for more,” said Chan.

The popularity of Country Cob’s pies and pastries has seen them expand the business and is helping create and grow job opportunities for locals.

When asked why they chose Springvale as the location of their new store, Chan said: “Springvale is an Asian community and food hub, and we would like to be part of the food trend in Springvale”.

Hundreds of pies are handmade every day and you can buy them warm or cold, and by the box. They are also affordable, with most well under $10.

This outstanding business has demonstrated that passion and persistence does pay off.
