The Yatala Pie Shop is an iconic pie shop in Yatala, City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Yatala Pie Shop was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as a "location".[1]

History

The pie shop opened in 1914.[3] Originally it was located on the Pacific Highway, but when the highway was replaced by the Pacific Motorway which did not permit roadside businesses, it relocated to larger modern premises just off exit 38 of the north-bound side of the motorway.[4]
The pie shop was flooded in April 2017 following heavy rain produced by Cyclone Debbie.[5][6]
