Upper Crust Lunch Bar is a bakery and lunch spot at 15 Piermark Drive in Rosedale, on Auckland's North Shore. It holds a 4.8 Google rating from 128 reviews. Customers often mention the patty and egg muffins, the burgers, the pies and the long sausage rolls, and a number of them describe it as a long-running favourite.
Bakery lunch bars are judged on how fresh the savoury bakes are and how quickly a takeaway order comes together, so a shop with a steady turnover of pies and burgers usually tastes freshest. Patty and egg muffins and sausage rolls travel well for a quick lunch, while burgers are best eaten soon after they are wrapped. Many regulars have a go-to item they order every time, so asking the counter what has just come out is a good way to find something hot.
It is a handy lunch stop for baked favourites in Rosedale, a neighbourhood spot that many customers return to.
