Bakery in New Zealand

“Nice tasty food, great service and the owner always says hello, place is always clean too, highly recommended.”

“Great way to surprise your dear ones. Ordered Black Forrest cake at level 4 of lockdown with delivery to St. John's. They delivered BEFORE 11am on such a busy day! Father in law was impressed and loved the cake! Support the local business! ❤️”

“I love this place especially the vibrant Thai woman behind the counter who just is always enthusiastic with every customer. What sets this bakery apart is the variety of food available. This is my 'go to bakery' in the weekends if I feel I need for a nice hit of savouries and sweets.”

“Highly rate. Great food selection. Coffee excellent. Friendly people to serve you:-) They’ve even got T-Shirt merch!! Had Frittata with Homemade Chutney, coffee and Afghan biscuit. Excellent.”

“they've been around in the valley since I've been born, their pies are incredibly good and I always urge people visiting me in the valley to swing by. Great donuts, apple turnovers and cheesecake too! and their pizza bread is a must try. staff has always been incredibly welcoming and lovely :-)”

“Sandwiches are good amd delicious! Always crowded, sometimes can't hear what my friends says, but it was okay because food and coffee here are the BEST. Come in the morning or late afternoon on spring or autumn. Magical.”

“Great experience everytime I go there. Very friendly, hard working couple. Food is very good,good portions and reasonably priced. Very Impressed with how the food is presented on the dish and tastes great.Love their donuts. Coffee is excellent! Their toddler comes to great us everytime we visit, so cute! Congratulations on baby number 2. Highly recommend!”

“Love this place. High quality cakes, pies, savouries and other baked goods. Also a neat wee cafe to have a coffee (which are also great). Always get out birthday cakes here too. Staff are super friendly and really take care of you. Highly recommended.”

“Always fresh and delicious! Bakers Delight never fails with their breads and pastries, and my new favourite – the Pistachio Cruffin – is simply irresistible. Highly recommend!”

“I was shopping around looking for a bakery to do gluten free cakes for a future event and I came across a review for gluten free items at Frimley Bakery. WHAT? No way! I went there like 7 years ago and I could only get a $9 toastie (good but $9 in 2018). Today they have a whole shelf of GF items and there is savoury and sweet. I got a whole spice loaf for $7.50!!!! It is soft and yummmmmm!”

“Wow! Just looking at the other reviewers cakes that have been made by this wonderful company, makes me wish I lived closer! I had a very urgent request for a very small item sold at Cake Stuff, living in Auckland I couldn’t not find one anywhere. Not only was I greeted with the friendliest of replies when I enquired, but they went out of their way to stop everything they were doing, package the item up for me and visit the NZPost up the road, before the money was even transferred. They have managed to save the day for me and I am so appreciative of their effort. What incredible service, thank you so much! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“The place was recommended by a fellow backpacker so i'd thought i'll come by to take a look. Not a big place but does have both indoor and outdoors sitting. Everyone's okie to share the table. Minimalistically decorated. Variety on the menu. I was in a dilemma on choosing what to eat and the owner shared what he preferred which wasnt the most expensive thing off the menu. Haha. Shows the love he has for the food and people than the profit. Awesome. I had Hash: its pulled pork and taters.. very well done, not overly salty. Well prepared. Hot chocolate, theres the cadbury and whittakers options. Always nice to know there's a choice. :) Street parking. Help urself to the water, by the counter. All in all, an enjoyable brunch out.”

“Vibes off the chart, 15 minutes here and my stress melted away. Lowfi bossa nova beats, quiet chats of happy regulars, service with a smile and the fresh beach air means I will be coming back again and again”

“A gem of a place, super delicious coffee and incredible cakes and pastries, we wanted to try everything and got a few different bits but the caramel, pear and walnut tart was a definite stand out. We sat outside with Gus the dog and he very much enjoyed it and was very spoilt. Lovely owners and so welcoming and friendly. Thank you for having us, we will be back!”

“This is a special place to enjoy a delicious French-style galette. It's so high quality. They also have a good selection of pastries, so I recommend using them as a café. They have a wide range of menus, and I think you will enjoy any style.”

“Authentic French food in Auckland. Perfect for weekend brunch spot. We enjoyed savoury galettes, croque monsieur and eggs benedict. Dinner menu looks great too.”

“Really nice place atmosphere qas really good, got the big cup and really good portions with good flavor. We used to go to Golden sands alot but this will be new breakfast place. Price $$ good for a breakfast place. Food was a really good portion and was tasty. Customer service was excellent. Only issue was the knives weren't really sharp so it struggled to cut the sour dough bread. Still great experience. Overall rating 5/5 would highly recommend.”

“I've driven past literally hundreds of times and today I finally had the pleasure of having lunch there with my wife. The atmosphere, service, food quality and cost was excellent and I will be sure at the very least to be getting my hot chocolate from there on a regular basis. We sat outside in the patio area with our puppy and enjoyed a faultless experience.”

“Great coffee, tasty food, happy customers!”

“First German restaurant for me and I have to say: I will come back. Me and my partmer had the plate A and even if it looks big, if you’re hungry don’t worry you’ll eat everything. Loved the sauce and the smashed potatoes, reminds me of my grandma’s one. I like the fact that you have tomatoes, coleslaw and other salads on free service. We also had the tab german beer and nothing to add you know just a tab beer. But the owner is really kind and gave us a good experience. Boyfriend here, I’ve been to Berlin and the taste is familiar. I vouch for this only german restaurant in West Auckland. Traditional I love it”

“Lovely organic shop with a bulk section, bread, vegetables and all the vegan and organic food you could ever want. And the best thing is, it’s connected to Hapi Café, so it’s a real Mekka for vegan and organic food culture. Very cute and vibrant.”

“Good Asian market I wish they can carry more stuff from Taiwan.”

“Food is nice, environment is nice. 100% would recommend to eat at this place!”

“Such a nice atmosphere - feels like something straight out of Europe. We definitely don’t have many places like this in NZ. Food was amazing, so much flavour and everyone who served us was so friendly and kind. We will 100% be back and will recommend this to all our friends and family.”

“Very tasty pies I have ordered steak cheese jalapeño pie the best pie I ever had! Wanted to try there sausage rolls but they only do pork not lamb but overall very tasty pie and boiling hot as well good winter munch!”

“Good lil cafe to just unwind. Free wifi here too which is good if u need to do any work.”

“Good place to get your bits and bobs for the kitchen if you are staying around the area. Had fresh produce as well and the prices for their other groceries are slightly cheaper than the bigger supermarkets. Open early and closes late as well so super convenient if you are in the area.”

“I got a birthday cake for my daughter from JM Cakery recently. I found ordering on the website very easy. The cake looked amazing, just like the photo on the website. It tasted incredible, all our guests loved it. We got a 10-inch floral vintage heart cake and it was the perfect size for 21 people with a generous serving. When we collected the cake we also got some cupcakes and they were delicious. Definitely would order again, highly recommend!”

“Gateau House is a dream for chocolate lovers! Their chocolate cake is rich, moist, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, with a deep cocoa flavour that melts in your mouth. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had. The presentation is beautiful, and the texture is just right—light but indulgent. The store itself is warm and inviting, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Whether it’s for a celebration or a treat-yourself moment, Gateau House delivers every time. I always leave with a smile (and a slice or two!). Highly recommended for premium, delicious desserts”
