How many bakeries does Starworks rank in Sunshine Coast?

Starworks ranks 67 bakeries in Sunshine Coast, QLD, holding 7,990 Google reviews between them. Across the 67 the median rating is 4.7 stars from a median of 40 reviews. Of the 67, 51 are rated 4.5 or better and 24 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 625 reviews, more than the top-ranked bakery holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

What star rating should I expect from a good bakery in Sunshine Coast?

The median Google rating across the 67 bakeries Starworks ranks in Sunshine Coast, QLD is 4.7 stars, and 51 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for bakeries in Sunshine Coast, QLD rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.

How many Google reviews does an established bakery in Sunshine Coast have?

The median bakery Starworks ranks in Sunshine Coast, QLD carries 40 Google reviews, and 24 of the 67 bakeries have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 625.

How does Starworks rank bakeries in Sunshine Coast?

Starworks gives every bakery in Sunshine Coast, QLD a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.

Why does a bakery in Sunshine Coast with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?

Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer bakery with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Sunshine Coast, QLD. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.

Why does the same bakery not appear several times on this list?

Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 50 distinct bakeries in Sunshine Coast, QLD rather than a longer list of repeats.

How often is this list of bakeries in Sunshine Coast updated?

This ranking of bakeries in Sunshine Coast, QLD rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.

How can I improve my bakery business ranking in Sunshine Coast?

Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median bakery Starworks ranks in Sunshine Coast, QLD carries 40 Google reviews at 4.7 stars.
