Bacca Bakery - Tukurua — Restaurant in Tasman

Service - 0/5 the guy manning the market stand was obnoxious and arrogant. Tried charging me extra $2 for a loaf of bread claiming it was larger than normal. So I asked for the "normal" size instead. It was exactly the same. They don't display prices so I guess they just eyeball you and decide on the spot how much to charge. Bread - 4/5 it was very tasty. I've had better, but this one was definitely in the top five. Cinnamon bun - 3/5 tasty but tiny. Nothing special, just your average bun. Croissant - 0/5 it was disgusting. Even the dog wouldn't eat it. As a French descendant I'm insulted. It was sour, dense and vile. Whose idea was it?!

As much as taste is a personal preference, there are no excuses for poor customer service. As a minimum, be nice to your customer and acknowledge them before proceeding to rip them off. Don't get the hype. Hopefully, only a matter of time before...

Obviously a locals place and not geared for tourists wanting to spend their money on coffee and cake. No mention on FB page or website of the need to bring your own cups, and we were therefore not served by the rude staff even though they had cups on top of the coffee machine. Very clicky and certainly can't see what the hype is about. Definately not recommending to friends....awful place. Can't comment on the food as there wasn't any...even at 9am, having been...

Its not very often these days you find artisan breads that are solid, dense, yummy and produced from locally grown grains. Its like traveling back in time eating one of these loaves. Bacca Bakery are doing it right (and also creating a beautiful kaupapa in the bay with their community dinners.) Looking forward to being involved in the next one! Arohanui from your neigbour...
