The Bakers Crust is a bakery at 81 Port Road in Whangārei Central. It has baked on site every day since it opened in 2012, and it makes hand-crafted breads, including its own sourdough, German rye, wholemeal, ciabatta, baguettes and croissants made with real butter. The bakery also offers sweet breads, bear paws, custard twists, Sally Lunns, slices, biscuits and donuts. Its rolls are baked fresh each morning and filled with salad and meat, and vegetable sandwiches are made to order.
The bakery's pies use fresh meat from local butchers and flaky hand-made pastry. The pie of the month changes, and the range includes a vegetarian and a vegan option. The bakery brought the Cronut and the Bronut to Whangārei, and it has an online store where orders placed before 12pm are ready for pickup after 9am the next day.
