A bakery and cafe that is well known in napier and is very popular with the locals in taradale. Mince and cheese pie 7.7/10 Was told by a couple of locals that this pies sells the most. Well-balanced pie. Pastry isn't thick, filling is decent, and imo enough cheese to make it a decent mince and cheese. Not enough to be in the 8s, but it's a good standard pie.
Bacon and egg quiche 8.3/10. Juicy and crispy pieces of bacon on top, a considerable amount which I appreciated. The stir cheese through the egg has a nice flavor, and the pastry is your standard short crust. Like how that they don't add corn, peas, and carrots, as I think that should never be in quiche. Very nice.
They have had won awards in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised if they win a few more later...
