Doubleshot nz is a bakery at 181 Motutara Road in the Muriwai Beach settlement, Rodney, with a 4.9 rating on Google. The test of any good bakery is in the basics: bread genuinely baked on site, a pie with crisp pastry, and cabinets that get refreshed through the morning rather than sitting out from the day before. At a west-coast surf beach the rhythm is early — weekends fill from opening, people come straight off the black sand, and the pick of the cabinet is often gone by early afternoon, which is why regulars go early. The tells of a good one are simple: the smell of baking from the door, flour on the counter, and a queue of locals who plainly come every week. Doubleshot nz sits on Motutara Road with Muriwai's beach and gannet colony just up the road, well placed for exactly that crowd.
