Bunny Street Bakery is a neighbourhood bakery at 10 Bunny St in Lower Hutt, holding a 4.5 Google rating, with its Facebook page serving as its online presence.
A good suburban bakery lives by its mornings: bread, pies and slices come out of the oven in batches through the day, so early callers get the widest pick and the popular lines can be gone by mid-afternoon. The tell of an on-site bake is the smell of hot bread near opening time, and regulars learn which hour each favourite lands in the cabinet. When comparing bakeries, it pays to ask what was made that morning rather than what looks best on the shelf — freshness shows in the crumb of a loaf and the pastry of a pie.
For anyone in Lower Hutt, this well-rated spot on Bunny Street is worth timing a visit around the morning bake.
