Own a Banjo’s Bakery Café
Our vision
Our vision is to be ‘Australia’s Leading Local Bakery Café’ and we’d love you to come on that journey with us. We’ve been successfully operating for over four decades with over 50 stores around Australia.
Our growth has been a natural evolution. Slow enough to ensure we stay true to ourselves and our customers, but large enough to ensure the quality systems and processes are in place to provide a unique and memorable customer experience.

Baking Things Better!
Banjo’s was founded in Tasmania in 1984 and has operated successfully since, growing to over 50 stores across Australia. The idea, unique at that time, was to provide a place which offered customers the opportunity to sit down and enjoy freshly baked breads and cakes or handmade treats for breakfast, lunch or a snack with a perfectly made coffee.
The food is hand crafted, fresh each day and served in an environment which provides a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We bake a superior loaf and our bread is still made the traditional way, preservative free, fresh, soft and delicious. From day one, customers were quick to respond to the Banjo’s experience – now, with more than 9 million customers visiting Banjo’s stores each year.
