The Fancy Bakery is a small neighbourhood bakery on Botany Road in Golflands, Manukau City, Auckland, rated 4.4 from 70 reviews. Customers return for the chicken pies, sausage bread and Hong Kong-style buns, praising the friendly service and reasonable prices; it is run by owners Tiffany, Stephanie and Charlie.
A neighbourhood bakery stands or falls on its savoury counter, and a good pie is the fairest test: crisp pastry and a filling that is more than gravy. In Auckland's suburbs the better ones often blend traditions, setting Chinese-style milk bread buns beside classic pies and sausage bread, so it pays to try both sides of the cabinet. Popular lines tend to sell out early, and small bakeries carry a tighter range than a supermarket aisle — regulars simply know their favourite and time the visit around it.
For Golflands locals, this Botany Road bakery has plainly earned that kind of loyalty.
