Abbot Street Cake Shop is a neighbourhood bakery at 51 Abbot Street in Gonville, Whanganui, holding a 4.7 rating on Google and keeping in touch with customers through its Facebook page.
A good suburban cake shop lives by its morning bake, so earlier is usually better: the popular cabinet lines tend to be gone well before closing. Anyone ordering a celebration cake should expect to give a few days' notice, since icing, filling and lettering all take time to do properly. Regulars at places like this learn to ask what came out of the oven that day and let the answer decide, rather than arriving fixed on one particular thing.
For Gonville locals after something fresh-baked or a cake for a special occasion, this well-rated shop on Abbot Street is a handy stop close to home.
