The price mentioned and the price charged was not the same but I only saw that on my receipt after I left. $78.93 for 10x cupcakes. Normal debit card so no surcharge due to CC required. The cupcakes itself was terrible, it must have been a week to 10 days old. They looked beautiful but was so hard we couldn't eat it. I've been supporting them for many years, but sad to say I won't again.Local businesses MUST earn trust in their community, and sneakily charging a few bucks more when your customer is not looking is a very slippery slope...
Straight-up best pie I've had in years, and I wasn't even that hungry. Beautiful flakey pastry, quality filling and generous size. New favorite pie shop in Auckland (and I've tried hundreds of bakeries in the quest for a great pie).
Tried the steak n cheese and beef cheek, mushroom and cheese. Both were superb with generous chunks of tender and juicy meat encased it amazing pastry. Highly recommended!
