Pacific Bakery is a bakery in Mangere Town Square, Māngere, Auckland. It has a Google rating of 4.6 from 23 reviews.

One reviewer found the staff very friendly, and another says the pies have improved since an earlier visit.
A good pie bakery is judged on its pastry and its filling, so a pie should be hot through with a firm, golden crust. Gravy is part of the flavour, so check it is rich rather than thin. Cream buns are best eaten the same day, while the cream is fresh. Regulars often buy a few pies and rolls to take home, so a bakery that is busy at lunchtime is usually doing well.
For pies, sausage rolls or a cream bun in Māngere, this bakery in the town square is a local favourite for good value.
