The Clareville Bakery is a bakery in a former church at Clareville, just outside Carterton, on State Highway 2 in South Wairarapa. Mike and Rose Kloeg opened it in August 2013, after renovating and earthquake-strengthening the building. A full-length viewing window lets customers watch the bakers at work.
The bakery makes artisan breads, including a wholemeal sourdough miche, and a honey wheat loaf sweetened with Greytown honey. Its pies include a lamb cutlet and kumara pie, and it bakes custard squares and glazed fruit cake too. The website lists several pie, custard square and fruit cake awards. Online orders take one to two days to process, and deliveries go out Monday to Wednesday. The shop is open Monday to Saturday from 7.30am to 2pm and closed on Sundays. Our pick in South Wairarapa for a loaf of sourdough and a pie.
