A neat Italian bakery with colourful wooden planters outside it’s doors with blooming flowers to greet you as you walk up. I can see why my local friends love it– it’s real good bread. We all got a variation of their focaccia sandwiches– mine had salami, swiss cheese, lettuce and aioli. It was delicious, though very salty bread(you’ve been warned) jam packed with filling– makes for a good meal. One of those definitely satisfies. We also picked up a few desserts– a super sticky but yum bun that was recommended inside. My friend who had already tried the Almond horse shoe said it was a good pick– and it was a big flat odd shaped bread with the texture of a cronut but more bread-y. Very nice. Lastly, we had to try a piece of their large chocolate brownie which came as plain or walnut mixed and was a good one. Highly recommend here for your picnic/bread needs! Spied they also had some sauces and bottles on their shelves in the corner if you wanted a better squiz.

Sorry if you are gluten free because that means you cannot sample the most delicious breads and pizzas on Waiheke Island, probably in the world! The fresh aroma of baking lured me in on this Saturday and I was warned that the bread buns still may be hot as they’d just come out of the oven. Well they were still warm when we got home and simply stunning with our lunch fillings. Their pizza and foccacia breads are ‘to die for’ and sold in slabs like back in the old country(Italy I’m talking about). If you want great artisan bread, shop here because it is the real deal. Watch the bakers in full action as the stoves and workers are in full view of the cash register.
