Fitzroy Hot Bread Bakery is a bakery at 549 Devon Street East in Fitzroy, New Plymouth, rated 3.7 on Google from 23 reviews. Reviews are mixed: pies, doughnuts and chips get praise, friendly owners and good prices for families are mentioned, while one reviewer found a pie and a custard slice disappointing.
A good bakery is judged by its pastry and fillings, so a pie is best eaten hot and fresh from the cabinet. Custard slices and cream-filled doughnuts keep best on the day they are made, so buying them early in the day is wise. Savoury pie fillings vary a lot between bakeries, so a small first purchase is a good way to judge one.
For people in Fitzroy who want a quick lunch or a family bake, this Devon Street bakery is worth a try.
