Millbrooks Bakery

Steak and cheese pies like they should be.
The pastry is flaky pastry on top and short crust on the bottom portion which holds the steak, gravy and cheese. An adept craftsman makes these pies. The pie doesn’t fall apart upon being consumed nor is the pastry so tough that the filling squirts out. Just right.
Biting into the pie shows it to be at the ideal temperature to scoff. The cheese is cheddar with just the right amount so as not to all run out and enough to flavour ones steak and cheese experience in every delectable bite.
The gravy has the right balance of seasoning and meat filling which compliments the tender pastries of the upper and lower portion of the pie.
At $ 3.50NZD, this is a very impressive pie.
I also buy their potato top pie, sausage rolls, raspberry or choc Lavington with fresh cream and also their Apple turnovers. All are made on site.
The Edinburgh Dairy on the corner of Edinburgh and Cape Hill Road purchases the pastries to sell in their establishment. Now that’s saying something because the Edinburgh Dairy makes their own pies and muffins! Millbrooks is the bomb!
The Princes St Superette in Pukekohe North sells the Bacon and Egg pies and baked pastries from Millbrooks as well.
Love this food. Well made and very tasty. I’ve eaten the steak and cheese pies from all the bakeries here in Pukekohe. It’s a wonder that I don’t have type 2 diabetes and I’m not morbidly obese!
Highly recommended.

Busier and more prominent than Pukekohe bakery, Millbrooks is located right in the centre of Puke town. They have a wide range of baked goods, and they also do hot food like hot dogs, chips and sausages, and have a large range of drinks too.
The service there is friendly but I must comment on the custard pie I got from there once. The pastry was kind of crumbly, and the filling was too runny. It may have been a one off but crumbly pastry + runny filling is not a nice combo! The sandwiches and things from there are nice though, pretty much what you’d expect from most bakeries.
