One reviewer reported feeling unwell after eating several items from the bakery on the same day.
A good local bakery is judged on its pastry and fillings, and the shop should keep its pies fresh through the day. Pies should be crisp on top and the gravy should be rich rather than thin. If you have a sensitive stomach, ask staff when items were made and what is in them. Regulars often pick up morning smoko on the way to work, and they get to know which pies sell out first.
For a pie or a roll on the way through Te Atatu South, this bakery on Te Atatu Road is one reviewers either love or leave with a warning.
