Paetiki Bakery Cafe

Really unpleasant experience here, spent over $150.00 on baked goods here, asked for a discount, nothing offered. I saw the loyalty card, & asked for one, filled 2 cards, then asked for the free pies from these, only to be told that I could only use these on my next visit. Felt very satisfying returning all the goods, getting my hard earned monies back, & getting a better deal from their competition.

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.

It's hard to understand how 2 mini pies and a steak pie can be $12.70

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.

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.

What's not to love Taupo's best bakery. The hot chips just might be the best in nz there can be a wait to get them. Maybe not the best sweets but definitely everything else. Great customer service

No trays, plates to eat on and no knives and forks toxeat with Sat at 1st table but had not been wiped down. Moved to cleaner table. Has gone down hill since previous owners left

Had the pork and kumara pie. Delicious. I did find that my pie only had half the filling though.

I brought an over priced steak and mushroom pie, don't know where the mushrooms were and was lucky to have 3 pieces of steak otherwise just full of jelly gravy $6.20 won't be back and won't recommend, it reminded me of why I don't go there anymore

The best pie's in the world, and chocolate eclairs shaped like a donut have to be the best ever, five star are not enough
