Midway Bakery and Cafe is a bakery and cafe at 76 Grove Road in Mayfield, Blenheim, with a Google rating of 4.8 from 80 reviews. Customers mention the wide range of pies, including duck and mushroom, steak, jalapeño and cheese, and an egg Benedict pie, and say the coffee is good.
A good pie bakery is judged on its pastry and on how much filling sits inside, since a thin filling can disappoint. A wide range is a good sign, but it helps to ask which flavours were made fresh that day. Pies are best eaten warm, and a short reheat in an oven keeps the base crisp. Regulars often try a new flavour on each visit and return to their favourite, which shows whether the quality holds.
Its Grove Road shop makes it a handy stop for a pie and a coffee in Mayfield, Blenheim.
