Summer Bakery NACI is a neighbourhood bakery in New Lynn, Auckland, rated 3.8 from 103 Google reviews, with customers singling out its pies — the palusami pie in particular — and friendly service at the counter. In New Zealand the pie cabinet is usually the truest test of a bakery: pastry should be crisp rather than soggy, the filling generous and well seasoned, and a good shop keeps its pies properly hot rather than letting them sit lukewarm in the warmer. Regulars tend to time their visits to fresh batches and ask what came out of the oven most recently. In West Auckland it also pays to look for local flavours in the cabinet alongside the standards, since that is often where a bakery's real character shows. For a lunchtime pie in New Lynn, Summer Bakery NACI is one of the neighbourhood's own options.
