The Butterken Story
Guten Tag!
Welcome to Butterken Bakery.
We're Anita and Hendrik, and we're passionate about sharing the rich tradition of German bread culture here on the Mornington Peninsula.
At Butterken Bakery, we handcraft artisan sourdough breads, pretzels, pastries and cakes using time-honoured techniques, local ingredients, and a modern approach to health, sustainability and flavour.
By blending German baking traditions with innovation, we've created a bakery where quality comes first and good food brings people together.
Visit our German bakery in Mount Eliza and discover why locals call us one of the best bakeries on the Mornington Peninsula.
Our Values
Our Grain Philosophy
Great bread starts long before the oven. It starts in the soil.
The Butterken Difference
-
Our dedication to authentic German baking has transformed Butterken into a little slice of Germany on the Mornington Peninsula. Experience the culture, language and traditions of home – or immerse yourself before your travels – while enjoying artisan sourdough, seasonal German cakes and pastries, and what we (along with many of our lovely customers!) believe are the best pretzels in Melbourne.
-
If you’re looking for a genuine sourdough bakery in Melbourne, look no further. We offer rotating seasonal specials alongside our traditional wheat sourdough loaves, our 100% German rye sourdough loaves, and our 100% wholegrain spelt loaves.
-
Our tasty sourdough rolls make our sandwiches the perfect option for a quick lunch on-the-go or picnic in the park! We’re also proud to be part of a thriving community of businesses here on the Mornington Peninsula that serve Commonfolk Coffee.
