A good bakery is judged on its pies first, with pastry that holds together and a filling that is well seasoned and not greasy. Pies are best eaten hot, so if you visit at a quiet time, it helps to ask whether the cabinet has been refilled recently. Cream donuts and other sweet bakes show how a bakery handles its dough, since they need a soft, light texture. Regulars often come early in the day, when the choice is widest and the pies are freshest.
For a steak and cheese pie or a cream donut on New North Road, this Mount Albert bakery is a practical stop.
