Beefy's Kawana

Beefy’s Kawana is part of a Sunshine Coast bakery business built around pies and pastries made with local ingredients in Beefy’s own kitchen. The range is designed for different occasions, whether you are picking up something for breakfast, a snack, lunch, a meal at the end of the day or food to take home. Beefy’s says its products are enjoyed in store, on the run and at home, making the Kawana Waters shop a practical option for solo visits, families, tradies, tourists and dedicated pie fans.

The bakery’s signature range includes its Signature Steak Pie, which has received repeated gold awards at the Official Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition. Other named offerings in the wider menu include the Aussie Special, also known as the Ned Kelly Pie, Thai Green Curry Chicken and Angus Steak with Sautéed Onions and Buttered Mushrooms. The website also highlights pastries and gourmet sausage rolls, although the full in-store selection may vary by location.

Gluten-free customers are particularly well catered for. Beefy’s sells gluten-free pies and sausage rolls across its South East Queensland stores, along with gluten-free sweet treats and hot chips. The range includes Gluten Free Signature Steak and Gluten Free Steak, Bacon & Cheese pies, with the latter winning Australia’s Best Gluten Free Pie at the Official Great Aussie Meat Pie Competition in 2015, 2016, 2020 and 2021. Beefy’s gluten-free products are endorsed by Coeliac Australia and are individually packaged, with separate and/or shared equipment cleaned and inspected before gluten-free production.

The business began in 1997, when its first store opened in the Aussie World precinct under the name Sunrise Bakery. It later moved production to Kunda Park as the business expanded, became Beefy’s in 2006 and grew to locations throughout South East Queensland. Alongside its baking, the company describes an ongoing commitment to local community involvement and charity fundraising, including support for the Queensland Children’s Hospital. For Kawana locals, the appeal is straightforward: an established Sunshine Coast bakery offering award-recognised pies, pastry-based comfort food and a substantial gluten-free range, with options to enjoy immediately or take home.
