Patrick's Boutique Bakery is a small bakery on Lake Road in Ohinemutu, on the Rotorua lakefront, holding a 4.4 Google rating and reachable online through its Facebook page.
A boutique bakery is defined by its morning bake: breads, pastries and slices are made in small batches on site, and the most popular lines are often gone before mid-morning. Regulars learn to arrive early and to ask what came out of the oven that day, since the counter tends to follow the day's bake and the seasons rather than a fixed menu. Weekend favourites are usually worth reserving ahead, and a good baker will happily tell you what is best eaten today. For those wandering the Ohinemutu lakeside or passing along Lake Road, it makes a fitting local stop for something fresh from the oven.
