Paetiki Bakery Cafe

Really nice pies. The lasagne pie was amazing!

Delicious, so much choice. We ordered the hot chips, a sausage, creamy mushroom pie, a pepper steak pie and an apple crumble. So delicious, would highly recommend visiting.

I got fried chicken and a kransky sausage here and it was delicious. a bit expensive at $10 total but I was hungry and hungover and it fixed that! they have plenty of options from sweet pastries to hot chips and sandwiches. the lady at the counter was friendly and smiled. there are dining tables and seats inside if you want to eat there. the location is handy to town and it was a very busy bakery so it must be popular with the locals.

In Taupō for the day while my car was in the shop so I needed a place that let's you sit to eat and my partner took me here.At first glance it looked nice and even he talked it up too much I felt, as every table had food residue so I had to find napkins to wipe down a table myself.Food cabinets were well stoked with a huge selection of foods, I got a bun sandwich.The bun was so stale that as I took the glad-wrap off, it broken in half and it's contents fell out.It got binned when I could eventually find that also.

The 'award winning' pies were overpriced, the products were overly expensive and the quality did not match the price. Almost overcharged me by $7.50, I had to ask for a second person to do the bill, as it was an obvious overcharge.

We stopped by to grab some food before heading down to Ruapehu. I wasn't planning on getting anything but saw that they had award-winning pies (Lam's Pies) so ended up getting one. I grabbed the creamy mushroom, bacon and cheese one. the party was nice and the filling was ok. I was expecting more of a medley of bacon and mushroom in the filling but it was a mushroom in a white sauce with a nice piece of bacon on top. It was nice and creamy and did have a nice flavour.they did have standard bakery items as well.

Absolutely delicious pies, the chips are seasoned perfectly and the price and service was great definitely recommend.

Another place where we liked it so much, we came back for round 2 while on vacation!They just offer a really simple thing, we put delicious filling into our flaky golden yellow pies.They also have sandwiches, fries, and other things but you come here for those pies!It’s a cafeteria style service where you get a tray and just slide down from each heated display window to the next. You can pick out the delicious goodies that you want to eat and then pay at the end.We absolutely adored their flaky crispy pies that had all sorts of different fillings. A lot of classic combinations such as chicken and mushroom, steak & kidney, smoked fish, sweet lamb curry, and butter chicken.It’s hard to have just one.I think my favourite thing I discovered there was their double happy roll. What makes it double happy? It was filled with ground beef on one side and creamy mashed potatoes in the other. Yum yum!There’s nothing fancy about the food but it’s just great great comfort food at a great value. It’s bound to make you smile.

F**k the lake go to spa road bakery! Easy parking.walk up to to cabinet food and take your time! Huge selection of pies to choose from. The pastry is the winner for me. Not flaky but firmly salty sweet that blends in with the ingredients. My favorite is the chicken mushroom or try the pork kumera!

Superb service with a smile even though it was busy. Great selection of everything and food tasted fresh and was well presented. Went back the next day for lunch as well
