“An awesome spot in Morrinsville! Lovely staff, great service. The menu really made me want to try everything.

“Come for the climb, stay for the pies. After a semi-leisurely climb up Mount Te Aroha, my friend and I decided to stop at Kevin's Bakery for a food replen. The exterior seemed unassuming, and we were prepared for a meal pervaded by mediocrity. Upon entry, we were happily greeted by Kevin and his wife as we carefully selected our afternoon meal; she chose a butter chicken pie, I went for the reliable staple of steak and onion. The dappled sunlight splashed across our faces outside, as we cautiously bit into the crust. Dense chunks of meat and gravy filled my mouth, whilst flakes of perfectly formed pastry fell across my lap. I was in pie heaven. Within a few minutes I had consumed this bountiful feast, and returned back into the store for more. 10/10, would purchase multiple pies again.”

“Food was delicious. My son enjoyed the Maakona Sirloin (swapped out mash for fries). Smashed the whole lot. Hubby got the Fiery Herb Chicken, perfect balance of spice and herbyness. I had the Pumpkin Stuffed Pasta. So good! Would recommend..even if you are staying there. Oh and dessert?....amazing, get the Chocolate mousse. To die for.”

“Great atmosphere. Great priced drinks. Large smoking area was a huge plus.”

A good ol’ tradition thanks to the smokers room where the smokers can enjoy a good beer and smoke without freezing in the Kihikihi cold nights. Please dont change. These things are what are going extinct”
