Piccolo Morso Bakery & Gelato Lounge | New Plymouth

This shop is worth making the trip for if you're ever going to New Plymouth. Despite the closing time being early afternoon, they still had a large selection of both sweet and savoury treats.nnLarge is an understatement of their cookies as you can see from the photo with the spoon as comparison, it was at 12cm wide and at least 2cm thick with many flavours to choose from.nTheir custard square is the seller of the shop and to my surprise, the custard part was just like creme brulee!nnTheyalso have a variety of pies with gourmet fillings and also gelato. The shop is large with both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking can be a bit hard as it's situated on the main road near traffic lights so it may be better to park a little further and walk up.

Just tried the Vegan Steak & Cheese and the Vegan Lamb, Mint & Feta Wooooooah these pies are sooo damn good! No wonder they won the Vegan Pie Awards this year Absolutely top quality pies, so saucy, amazing pastry, fantastic taste! On the pricey side but all Vegan food tends to be.. Will be back for more! Thank you for having so many Vegan options

Wanted to leave an honest review as I was extremely excited to try this cafe, specifically their giant cookies. Which is all we tried so I can’t speak to the rest of the items the pies looked incredible and fresh so I will be back to try those, but given the price of $12 for a cookie I was quite disappointed. It was stale almost like a cracker, bland, and freezing cold when we got it, which I wasn’t expecting warm but at least not old tasting. Other items looked good and the staff were lovely as well as a nice atmosphere but would not recommend the cookies especially for the price.

The bakers must be hard at work every day. The quantity AND quality of each beautifully crafted sweet treat and savoury item was incredible. I wish I stay in New Plymouth longer just to try everything in the cabinet! My partner got a jumbo pink doughnut which was delicious and I got a childhood favourite - a ginger kiss, but giant!nnIt was busy, but staff are quick and we didn’t wait very long at all for hot drinks.

The pies here are not bad. I enjoyed the mince & cheese, steak/cheese/jalapeño, and chicken/cranberry/brie. The award-winning items didn’t wow me the Vegan Korma Pie was a bit bland and the custard square was dense and more floury than creamy., but the weekly specials and cream-filled donuts are definitely worth coming back for.
