Cuba Street Bakehouse is a bakery at 72 Cuba Street in central Palmerston North, with a Google rating of 4.3 from 103 reviews. Its range covers bread, cakes, pies, biscuits and sweets, plus sandwiches and rolls. Reviewers mention the pies, the cinnamon bun and the cookies, though one found the pies bland and needed sauce.
A good bakehouse is judged on the balance of its pie fillings, with enough seasoning for flavour to come through without extra sauce. Cream donuts and cookies sell fast on busy days, so an early visit usually gives the best choice. Bread is at its best on the day it is baked, which is worth remembering if you plan to take a loaf home. When you choose a bakery, look at how fresh the cabinet looks and ask staff what came out that morning.
For a pie, a cinnamon bun or a loaf of bread in central Palmerston North, this Cuba Street bakehouse is a local stop worth a try.
