Sony Bakery is a bakery at 7 Fernlea Avenue in Kelvin Grove, Palmerston North, with a Google rating of 4.2 from 117 reviews. Reviewers mention the pies, especially the potato top pie, along with the custard squares, the raspberry cream donuts and the quiche. One reviewer felt there was too little meat in a pie.
A good pie shop is judged on the balance of its filling, with enough meat or cheese to taste in every bite and pastry that holds together. Potato top pies depend on mash that is thick and well seasoned, so it is worth looking at the top of the pie when you choose. Custard squares and donuts show how a bakery handles its pastry, and they are often at their best early in the day. When you choose a bakery, look at the pies on display and ask what was baked that morning.
For a pie or a custard square in Kelvin Grove, this Fernlea Avenue bakery is a friendly local stop.
