Ed’s Cake and Coffee House

The pie alone is worth 4 stars !
On the corner of Commissariat rd in Mt Wellington is a small block of shops .
And in this is Eds coffee and cake, now this place is by no means fancy but it’s clean and the staff are friendly .
On a day where the weather was less than desirable, my tummy was saying «falafel «but my heart said loudly and firmly «pie «!! So having done a recon of this place the week before I knew exactly where to go to .
I had eyed up the 5-​spice pork belly previously so went straight for it .
Priced at $ 5.80 it is on the expensive side for a pie and generally at that price you’d hope for it to be life changing ! And it was .
With a flaky pastry top and a golden short pastry base, rich spiced gravy and morsels of pork belly it is delicious ! The pork belly in the pie did contain the fat and for me I put that aside as I’m not a huge fan. But after getting halfway thru there were also some small cubes of potato — a nice addition .
Would I eat another one? Yes, judging by the way there was a constant stream of workers stopping for a pie fix .
Am I coming back? Yes and yes !
