Bunnings' little-known cafe is about to sell the country's best meat pie: 'Flooded with requests to bring it back'
Forget the famous Bunnings sausage sizzle, if you're looking for something to eat while you're there, head inside to the cafe.
You might be surprised to know that Bunnings stores have cafes tucked away inside, and they've just bought back the fan-favourite Cheeseburger Pie for a limited time.
Tasmanian Bakeries CEO Geraldine Tebbutt explained the return of the $5.80 icon was a long time coming.

"We've always known the Cheeseburger Pie held a special place with our customers, and we're thrilled to bring that magic back to Bunnings," Tebbutt said.
"When we first launched the Cheeseburger Pie in 2022, the response was truly tremendous.
"We've been flooded with requests to bring it back ever since, as fans simply couldn't get enough of the way it combines two absolute classics – the traditional meat pie and the iconic cheeseburger.
"We felt the time was finally right to relaunch this popular limited-edition variety for those who missed out the first time and we couldn't ask for a better partner than Bunnings to revive this fan-favourite.

"But they are well worth the trek to try one of these delicious meat pies made by Tasmanian Bakeries, the home of National Pies, and Bunnings has brought them back by popular demand, which tells you everything you need to know about them."
The Cheeseburger Pie is made using 100 per cent Australian beef with a rich cheese sauce, topped with poppy seeds and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Tasmanian Bakeries Cheeseburger Pie was first introduced in 2022 and became an overnight sensation and broke records as National Pie's best-selling limited release at Bunnings.
Bunnings also sells classic Beef pie from the brand, as well as Beef & Pepper and Bacon & Cheese.

Tasmanian Bakeries National Pies can also be found at Coles, Woolworths, and independent grocery retailers including IGA and Foodworks.
You're not alone if you had no idea that Bunnings even had a cafe.
They are normally located well inside each location near the children's play area or entrance/exit to the outdoor nursery and can be difficult to spot.
And as for the location next to the play area, they're also the perfect place to relax with a barista made coffee while you let your little ones play.

The first Bunnings warehouse opened in 1994 and their famous sausage sizzles first launched in 2004, quickly became in institution and helping to raise funds for local community groups and charities.
Their cafes came later, more prominently in the early 2010s where customers can grab coffee, drinks, pies, sandwiches, and sweet treats.
