BHV Bakery is a bakery at 205/213 Beach Haven Rd in Beach Haven, Auckland, rated 3.6 on Google from 36 reviews. Reviews are mixed: some praise the pies and the steak and cheese, while others find the sandwiches and bread stale and the prices high.
A bakery's pies and sandwiches are best judged when they are freshly made, so an early visit is a sensible test. The balance of filling to pastry matters in a potato top or steak pie, so check the portion when you buy. Bread that sits on a shelf goes stale quickly, so it helps to ask when the day's loaves came out. Staff who can say what was made most recently make it easier to choose well.
For people in Beach Haven who want a pie or a steak and cheese close to home, this bakery on Beach Haven Road is worth trying, after a look at the recent reviews.
