A good bakery is judged by what comes out of the oven that day. Going in early usually means the best choice of fresh bread and pastry, because products sold late in the afternoon may have been on display for hours. It is worth looking at how the trays are covered, and asking what was baked today before you choose. Regulars often buy their bread at the start of the week and check the crust and texture before they settle on a favourite.
For bread, biscuits or ginger slices on Great South Rd in Otara, visiting in the morning is the approach that reviewers suggest.
