A local bakery is judged on its everyday staples, such as buns, doughnuts and savoury pies, which show how often the kitchen bakes. Popular items can sell out by late afternoon, so an earlier visit gives the best choice. Bakeries in this part of Auckland often aim for generous portions and good value, which suits families and workers. When choosing one, look at the pastry on a pie and the freshness of the cream in a doughnut, since both show how often the shop restocks.
