Bakery in New Zealand

“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!”

“Steak Cheese & Jalapeño pie was so goooood definitely grab that one! And the smoke fish pie was solid too”

“A great little spot with truly delicious coffee. The lovely man at the counter even remembered my order from the day before — such a nice touch. Highly recommend! New fav!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Flatwhite tastes perfect. They are using Roma coffee beans. I am so glad that I can have Roma coffee near my house.”

“Friendly staff, always Plenty to choose from for both sweet and savory tastes. Delicious cabinet food ready to go. This place is always pretty busy, and for good reason. Tables inside and outside available with weather coverage for the damper days. Highly recommend you make the stop if you're in the area. Treat yourself!”

“Had a mean azz feed here for Brunch, Good classic French Pastries. And of course gotta get the locally loved "Chips". Desserts are to die for, friendly service. Love the decoration of the place”

“Aren't dissapointed about The Gateau House! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and filled with the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft.”

“I can't help but stop here every time I do shopping as the cheap juices/mossies, pies, and slices are a hit in our house. Last visit, I was stoked to see elf on the shelf hiding with a caramel slice.”

“2024: Holy Moley!! That Fresh Cream Donut just blew my mind! Every component was perfect, soft fluffy donut filled with velvety fresh cream. Everyone within the Auckland area and beyond, set your cross hairs for this delight. 10/10”

“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!”

“Awesome food, we had the chicken stack and French toast both were well priced and super tasty. One of the best cafes on the shore. Awesome vegan and vege options and offer a discount if you bring your own cup for takeaways. Decor was slightly aged and could do with a bit of a tickle up but had a nice homely feel and staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.”

“THIS PLACE! I flew in on Auckland and by accident stumbled on this little gem. I never had carrot cake... Needless to say it was DELICIOUS. Homemade, owner bakes it himself. The atmosphere is also wonderfull. I went around NZ after this first cake... Never had the same taste in my mouth again! Until I visited back when I had to leave NZ... Each bite is perfect! Staff is soo friendly and genuine trying to build something nice up. It's a pity a lot of old reviews are bringing this score down (it was the previous owner), because it deserves a freaking big score ❤️ It is a small caffee, so expect when it's busy some waiting time to get in.”

“This place has a very nice aura and relax feel. Meat was fresh and delicious, will definitely be back again. The skewers were yummy and large portions, enough for two!”

“Such a lovely spot! I came in to have lunch and get a bit of work done, and I ended up staying longer than planned because I felt so good there. The staff were absolutely adorable, the tea was delicious, and there were plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options. My meal was rich and comforting, and the tart for dessert was amazing, a bit much for just me, but can’t complain about that. I’ll definitely be back, either by myself or with friends! ✨”

“Pies are full of real food. $10 for a plain mince but very tasty. Also got some sweet treats. Beautiful taste, spoilt for choice. Thanking Sheffield Pies for their response: Just to clarify, our items were 'rounded' up so my apologies for not specifying the correct price per item. Thank you for doing so. I hope this hasn't been taken in the wrong light but just as an aside, I should have got another pie! They were delicious.”

“This evening, a staff member went above and beyond for our family! I believe her name was Kaye, working in the click and collect department this evening. After my husband came home with our order, we realised we were missing a few things. I called up to explain and Kaye was so apologetic and helpful! So much so that she personally delivered our missing items to our home after her shift finished! Just incredible!”

“I love going to the farm market on Sundays when I'm free. I always find new things like cheeses, salami, pastries, relish that are worth trying. There are also several fresh vegetable options at a good price. It's also a good place for coffee in the morning. I always leave with a bag full of healthy ingredients to consume during the week. An important tip is to bring cash. If you forget, you can exchange it there, paying a fee. Some sellers accept cards. There is also live music, which makes the atmosphere more pleasant. The market is inside a covered area and there is plenty of grass outside if you want to bring your pet. You can also find organic vegetables, options gluten free, plants, flowers, cheese, eggs...”

“We got our sons 21st cake made here, ordered from a distance. Cake was true to form. Delicious inside and out. Pick up was easy and well priced . And only a wee slice left after the party. Thank you, will be back for the next one”

“Amazing service and the coffee is always on point. Highly recommend!”

“Yummy sandwiches and heaps to choose from in the cabinet. Good fast service”

“Every steak and cheese&mince&cheese pie ive had from here has been 11/10 would go here everyday if i could”

“I love the bears, food and drinks It’s a really cute place :) Here my brother had the big breakfast and he loved it! I drank my coffee too quickly to take a pic but it was really good! I always get a dessert here since they have traditional dulce de leche from Argentina and make everything in house ☺️”

“Really lovely bakehouse. The energy there is just awesome. Buzzing with friendly people. We started conversations with people at 4 different tables. Had lots of laughs. Hubby and me never had an experience like that in cafe before. Food was really good. Priced well for the quality and size. Not fancy foods but more like home cooked foods and even do we are foodies we still enjoyed it and went back next day and grabbed sandwich and sausage roll. Sorry no photos of those as we finished it in a hurry but sandwich was packed with tasty filling and hubby said the sausage roll was the best he ever had. So there you go. If you not sure what to try definitely grab sausage roll. Coffee was excellent. Large size came in decent large mug and was hot and delicious.”

“One of Hamiltons best bakeries, off the beaten track. Great service. Great selection of food. Raw fish is bomb with fry bread. Awesome for breakfast or lunch. Good size meals for great value for money.”

“Haven’t tried much as we came in the morning for light breakfast. Heaps of food options in a cabinet as well as desserts and a reasonable selection of food on a menu. We had an apple tart and a lemon crepes. Tart was 10/10. Surely recommended”

“Simply beautiful cakes that taste delicious. I went for a raspberry and white chocolate gateaux. A bargain for 62 dollars. We got 12 slices from it. Highly recommended!”

“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!”
