Gilles Bakery is a bakery at 37 Hyland Cres in Matipo Heights, Rotorua, with a Google rating of 4.7.
A good bakery does most of its work before the doors open, so the best choice of bread, pies and pastries is usually in the morning. Fresh baking has a clear look: bread with a good crust and an open crumb, pastry that is golden and crisp, and fillings that are hot and well seasoned. If you are choosing a bakery, look at what is in the cabinet and ask what was baked today. Regulars learn which items sell out first and head in early for them, and they buy a loaf to freeze or slice, as good bread is best eaten within a day or two. For a group or function order, ringing ahead lets the bakery set aside enough. Tell staff about allergies, as many baked goods contain gluten, dairy, egg or nuts.
For people around Matipo Heights and Rotorua, Gilles Bakery on Hyland Cres is a well-rated local bakery.
