Bakers Express is a bakery at 170 Queens Rd in Panmure, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.4 from 128 reviews. Customers often talk about the pies, and one regular calls it a friendly neighbourhood bakery.
A good pie bakery is judged on its pastry and its filling, which should be rich and well seasoned without being greasy. Popular flavours often sell out by the afternoon, so an earlier visit gives the widest choice. Some customers ask at the counter about the day's pies, which helps when a favourite is gone. Many regulars buy a few pies at a time to take home, since a good pie keeps its quality well when reheated.
For a classic meat pie or a potato top in Panmure, it is a well-reviewed neighbourhood bakery worth a visit.
