Zoyi Bakerhouse is a bakery at 221/235 Manchester Street in Christchurch Central City, with a Google rating of 4.8 from 68 reviews. Customers mention the cinnamon scrolls most often, along with crème brûlée and matcha.
A good cinnamon scroll should be soft in the middle, with spice that is warm rather than sharp, and a glaze that is not too sweet. Bakeries that sell rolls often bake in batches, so the first hour of trading is usually the best time to visit. Flavoured drinks such as matcha vary a lot between cafes, so it helps to ask how sweet a drink is. Regulars often choose one signature item and come back for it, which makes freshness the thing to watch.
Its Manchester Street shop makes it a handy stop for a scroll and a coffee in central Christchurch.
