Kaikohe Bakehouse And Cafe is a cafe and bakery at 334 Kerikeri Road in Kaikohe, in the Far North, holding a 4.4 Google rating. A good bakery cafe is often the heartbeat of a small New Zealand town: ovens on before dawn, cabinets filled first thing, and a steady trade of coffee, pies and fresh bread through the day. Regulars tend to arrive early, knowing the best-selling lines can be gone well before closing, and many call in for takeaway lunches as much as to sit down. When choosing between bakeries, the tell is usually whether goods are baked on site — the smell of the oven says more than any sign. Sitting on Kerikeri Road, this is a natural stop for locals and anyone passing through the Mid North.
