Richoux Patisserie

Came here on the hunt for creamed paua pie and ended up getting other foods. In the end got the creamed paua, venison Guinness cheese pie and blueberry tart. All 3 pies were so damn good, pastry nice and flaky, the venison was filling and the paua was creamy but not much filling. Can understand why though with the price /kg for paua.nnThe place is pricey as whole so don't expect to spend cheap but the reward is getting premium tasting pies so didn't mind to spend it just to try it. It's not pies you'd eat regularly like a steak n cheese, this bakery is more for an experience. They had a lobster pie which I completely forgot about and was the other reason why I wanted to come here but that pie is $22! Would have to come back next time when I'm rich to try it.nnOverall a pretty kool experience eating pies you don't usually find everyday. Recommended, but don't be surprised by how pricey it is

Huge selection of pies with a constant line out the door. Excellent selection of vegan pies!nI'm not a vegan but have tried some of the vegan pies. Not a big fan of the mince/steak substitutes. I think they use marmite for their meatiness and it just tasted a little too much. Could be good with sauce. Their vegan chicken pie & sausage roll were good.nNow the meat pies. B&E was great. Palusami & lamb was not to my taste. Too salty and the lamb was gristly and tasted cheap.nPastry was top notch on all of the pies.

Saw this place online and decided to try the legendary lobster pie, that’s the most expensive pie I’ve ever had at $19! What you get is 3 chucky pieces of lobster meat, how big? Approximately index finger in length chopped in 3 pieces, they also put blocks of potatoes in. It tastes like lobster and the puree is good. It is what you call a treat. Mince pie is also nice. Love the buttery pastry.

Visited this morning. The service was quick and efficient. The pies and donuts were amazingnPie was the perfect temperature and green curry filling was just ammmaaaazing. They had plenty of vegan options which was amazing to see. Would be a regular visitor from here on

All over my Instagram, I had to drive from the shore to try this $19.90 lobster pie. As soon as I get there, this little bakery is crazy busy. However, they seemed to manage a quick flow of customer service, so no one was waiting too long.nn- Lobster pie 9.1/10nLike seafood Chowder, this pie had all the elements of that. Nice flaky pastry, filling has garlic, small chunks of lobster and potato. Expected more lobster meat. However, it was very good.nn- Guinness steak and cheese pie 9.4/10nFound this better than the lobster pie tbh. Love the Guinness flavor through the gravy and a nice amount of cheese sauce.nn- Wagyu beef red curry 8.4/10nIt's like a sweet red curry with some spice. You'll probably like this if you're into curries.nn- Matcha cream doughnut 8.5/10nLight cream with strong matcha flavor, soft doughnut, and was very nice to eat.nn- Coffee cream doughnut 8.7/10nAlso added a line of caramel with the coffee cream, this was my favourite of the two.nnIt's hard to choose which pie would be your favorite, as all these pies would cover everyone preferences. Best bakery in auckland? Definitely in the conversation.
