Discover the Scrumptious World of Two Tins Patisserie in Geelong.

In the heart of Geelong, a family-owned patisserie is making waves with its delectable array of handmade pastries. Two Tins Patisserie, founded by the visionary Tanja, has blossomed into a dream come true. 

As a dedicated mother of five, with a love for cooking shows and an unyielding desire to build her own business, Tanja finally took a leap of faith into the cheffing world. From humble beginnings in a kitchen built in a garage and working at markets, Tanja now thrives with her own little shop on one of Geelong’s busiest streets.

Tanja, along with her talented daughter Rachael, forms an unstoppable mother-and-daughter team that works extremely hard, day in, and day out. This mother-and-daughter duo has an insane talent, and their passion for all things pastry is evident in the use of high-quality ingredients, locally sourced produce whenever possible, and a commitment to baking fresh delights made entirely from scratch. 

Surrounded by the heavenly aroma of baked pastries, the pastries here are handmade and baked, every single day. Yes, they are baked every single day, with the team at Two Tins striving to always have the freshest products for the community to enjoy. Their dedication and passion for producing high-quality food with locally sourced ingredients shine through in each delectable creation.

For this kick-ass mother-daughter duo and their incredible team, food is everything. Tanja’s tireless efforts, often clocking in around 14 hours a day, underscore her dedication to providing the community with the finest pastries. But there is a certain amount of pastries on the day as the same product is not made again that or the next day. Once it’s sold out, it’s sold out, so set that alarm early and head down for your pick of all the pastries.

Not only is the team behind the scenes amazing, but the joyous and skilled front-of-house team are also incredible: welcoming every customer with a big smile on their face, and always willing to help out where they can. Not only are they hard workers but love to have a laugh – and laughter is one of the core things in making a business work, that and great tasting food. 

Two Tins Patisserie has received an outpouring of love and support from its loyal customers. Their loyal customers are very understanding about what the team does and how they do it. Customers are willing to wait in lines nice and early to savour the day’s offerings before they’re sold out. After a tough few years, the team at Two Tins are extremely grateful to their customers, both regular and new, and they mean the absolute world to the business.
