Always my first choice when I’m visiting Manukau, Hollywood Bakery is easy to spot being right up the front of the centre. The staff are nice and everything is very cheap and tasty. My favourite combo to get is a bacon and egg muffin from the hot food cabinet and a flat white. It always tastes like they made it 10 mins ago, and proves to be very popular, as I rarely find more than 1 left in the cabinet in the late hours of the morning. Their Neenish tarts are simply to die for and club sandwiches are a nice addition if you don’t want to feel too bad about the amount of fat you’re creating. Then, once you’re done, continue your shopping escapade without wanting to buy everything that looks marginally delectable. Also, these guys bake cakes for events, make breakfasts and have award winning pies. Seriously, would you go anywhere else?

If you’re looking for a great-tasting breakfast or brunch meal at a good price, I wouldn’t go much further the the Hollywood Bakery Westfield Manukau. It’s one of my much-loved places to eat in the mall when I have time. This place can get crowded quite fast and its quite popular among the older generation. Their all-day breakfast menu covers all the bases and they do it really well here. I love their french toast. It’s served with bacon, maple syrup, and a decent amount of seasonal fresh fruit, although I do enjoy their caramelised banana when they have it! The pancakes here are good too and when I’m feeling a bit heartier than usual, their big breakfast always does the trick(they also have a vegetarian option of this available). If you don’t want to order off the menu, they’ve got a range of baked goodness for you. I always get their vege savoury for a quick bite, and on a cheat day I’ll definitely be getting the the chicken and mushroom pie, its always tasty. I don’t usually go for their pastas but they’re usually sold out by mid-afternoon. Hollywood Bakery is a great option in the mall that’s away from the food court and gives you a chance to sit down and relax between shopping destinations. Or just pop in for a coffee to go and a savoury for a quick yet satisfying bite.
