Kylie loved Raven & Cook
This Epsom cafe is a hidden gem for pie lovers. I visited on a wet, rainy afternoon and enjoyed one of the best beef cheek pies I have ever eaten. The pastry was light, flaky and a just-right texture while the savoury filling was full of chunky meat, excellent gravy and just a smattering of cheese. A delightful way to warm up during winter.
Kylie loved The Piha Store
With a dedicated pie chef cranking out soul-warming organic pies, The Piha Store is the place to sink your teeth into a delightful post-surf pie. The gravy is rich, the beef is melt-in-the-mouth miraculous and the pastry is so flaky you need to put the pie bag on your lap to catch the crumbs, if you're eating it in the car at the beach. I'm a local, have known the store owner, Pete, most of my life and am stoked as that some of the best pies in Auckland are just a five minute drive down the hill from home. These beauties often make my Sunday!
Ben loved Muzza's Pies Mt Albert
Muzza's Pies is a family-owned pie shop which hand-makes their products from 3am every single day. The quality and homeliness of their pies are impeccable, and with an average price point of $4.00, Muzza's has no parallel in Auckland.
Mark loved The Baker's Cottage
I love their Butter Chicken pies!
Suze loved Scratch Bakers
Scratch Bakers in City Depot has a wide range of tasty pies on offer. I have only tried their Confit Duck, potato and wild mushroom pie, which was amazing but I am definitely keen to try one of their other interesting pies.
Hariz loved Pioneer Pie Co
The pies are always scrumptious and filling. The shops cook pies that are of the highest calibre and if you wait towards the afternoon, you can get them for half price. They also served a tasty croissant meal and hot chocolate
Junia loved Heaven Scent
Yum pies, what more could a girl want? Not your cheap pies because you know they've put the good stuff in.
Kate loved Crafty Baker
These guys really fill my heart with hope. Such good artisan quality foods, quirky and innovative marketing, great sweets, amaing breads and generous pies! Lee and company are gracious and I always stock up when I go because the bread freezes really well and there's none better out west.. Thanks for the great baking!
Ben loved The Fridge Cafe
The French Cafe stands out from the many neighbouring bars & cafes along New North Road as the perfect hideaway spot for a smooth coffee and quality pie.
Kylie loved Euro Patisserie
A winner of the Bakel's Pie Awards, Euro Patisserie is a hidden gem of a bakery located in Torbay on Auckland's North Shore. Locals rave about their chicken pies and their pastry. It's known to be some of the best pie pastry in all of Auckland. I love the fact that you can buy a pie from Euro Patisserie and it's still hot by the time you get to one of our most beautiful and sheltered beaches Long Bay, which is just a stone's throw up the road.
