Lot Nineteen is a small Onehunga bakery that started life in October 2020 as a trailer on Church Street before moving into its permanent home at 22 Waller Street. It's built a local reputation around cinnamon rolls and freshly baked treats described as reminding customers of home, and was voted an Iconic Auckland Eats winner in both 2024 and 2025.
Alongside its everyday bakes, Lot Nineteen runs a custom cakes service and a catering menu, plus an online store where customers place orders ahead for pickup from the Waller Street shop. Weekend baking runs on a sell-out basis, so Saturday orders are best placed in advance through the website.
It's open Tuesday to Friday mornings and Saturday until stock runs out, closed Sunday and Monday, with orders picked up in person from the Onehunga store.
Lot Nineteen began in October 2020 as a small trailer on Church Street in Onehunga. Since then it has grown into a permanent bakery a few doors down at 22 Waller Street, where it now bakes fresh goods for the local community most mornings of the week.
The move from a trailer to a brick-and-mortar shop is the kind of story that suits a neighbourhood bakery - start small, build a following, and grow into a permanent space once the demand is there. Lot Nineteen made that move without losing the personal, home-style feel the business describes on its own site: freshly baked treats that will remind you of home.
The bakery's own Facebook page is named 'We Love Cinnamon Rolls', a strong signal of what's built its local following. Lot Nineteen has also been recognised beyond its own customer base, picking up an Iconic Auckland Eats award win in both 2024 and 2025 - back-to-back recognition for a bakery that started out of a trailer just a few years earlier.
Beyond the daily bakes, Lot Nineteen offers a dedicated cakes service and a catering menu, giving it a role beyond walk-in customers picking up a morning treat. The online store extends that further, letting customers order ahead - including seasonal releases like its Father's Day cake tubs - for pickup at the Waller Street store.
Because Saturday trading runs until stock sells out, ordering ahead through the online store is the more reliable way to guarantee a pickup, particularly for anything tied to a specific occasion like a cake order. Orders are confirmed for pickup at the Onehunga store, and the bakery is upfront that it isn't responsible for orders left uncollected.
Lot Nineteen opens Tuesday to Friday from 7am to 12:30pm, and Saturday from 8am until the day's baking sells out. It's closed Sunday and Monday. The store is at 22 Waller Street in Onehunga, easily found via Google Maps, with Facebook and Instagram pages for updates on new bakes and seasonal releases.
For anyone in Onehunga looking for a local bakery with a genuine community following - backed up by consecutive Iconic Auckland Eats wins - Lot Nineteen's Waller Street storefront is the place to start, ideally with an online order in first if it's a Saturday.
