ABOUT US
The name Pecks Road comes from the street the three brothers and owners - AJ, Arbi and Albin Lawang - grew up in. Being named after their childhood home, Pecks Road is a place where staff, customers and the community are all considered family.
Pecks Road was born in the midst of lockdown 2020 from the love of baked treats, innovating nostalgic Filipino flavours while also celebrating other cultures, and a passion for sharing them with the community.
The core values of quality, community, artisanship and respectful collaboration lay the foundations on which Pecks Road was built.
Executive Chef and Owner Albin Lawang harnesses his extensive knowledge and experience gained from working at culinary establishments, such as Hellenic Republic Brunswick, Kettle Black, and Higher Ground, to name a few.
All of the baked goods at Pecks Road are free of improvers, preservatives and artificial flavours. We believe that a good doughnut should be kept simple, relying solely on the quality of ingredients and traditional techniques to amplify the flavour, texture and consistency.
Through countless hours of service, innovation and research, the Lawang brothers are committed to sharing the highest quality products at Pecks Road with all of Melbourne.
