Goldstar Lunchbar is a bakery at 1114 Haupapa St in Pomare, Rotorua, with a Google rating of 4.0.
A good bakery does most of its work before the doors open, so the best choice of pies, bread and sweet items is usually in the morning. Fresh baking has a clear look: pastry that is golden and crisp, bread with a good crust, and fillings that are hot and well seasoned rather than sitting under a lamp all day. 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 often buy a loaf or a few extras to take home. For a group or a function order, ringing ahead is wise, so the bakery can set aside enough. Tell staff about any allergies, as many baked goods contain gluten, dairy, egg or nuts.
For people around Pomare and Rotorua, Goldstar Lunchbar on Haupapa St is a local stop for a bakery lunch or a loaf.
