Bakery 22 is a bakery on Palmerston Road in Gisborne Central, Gisborne, rated 4.7. In a regional town like Gisborne, a good bakery often doubles as one of the main breakfast and coffee spots rather than just somewhere to buy bread, so mornings tend to be the busiest and most social time of day, worth knowing if you're after a quieter visit later on. Judging bread by weight rather than looks is a useful trick: a properly made loaf, whether it's a simple white or something more artisan, tends to feel denser and heavier for its size than a mass-produced one padded out with extra air and additives. It's also worth asking what's baked fresh each morning versus held over, since a bakery working through several batches across the day will have items at different stages of freshness by the afternoon. On Palmerston Road in Gisborne Central, Bakery 22 is a local option for that kind of everyday baking.
