A bakery in the lovingly restored Holtom building at 5 Beach Road, Paekākāriki, on the Kāpiti Coast. The bakers work in view of customers, and there is outdoor seating from which you can watch the village and, if you are lucky, a heritage steam train go by. The website describes the bakery as a near drive-through for locals, with bread, coffee, pastries and pies. The menu covers cakes, croissants, sandwiches, scones, donuts, pies and bread, and many items draw on produce from a shared garden and beer and grains from the Waikanae brewery.
The Paekākāriki shop is the newer of the bakery's two sites, and the website says the bakery bakes from 3 am to midnight, seven days a week. Vouchers are sold online or in either bakery, and they never expire. Open Locally lists one other bakery within a kilometre, Beach Bakery, at the same spot, rated 4.3 from 130 reviews.
