Best coffee in Pukekohe.. Best pies in Franklin... Staff are amazing.. Highly recommend.... conveniently on either side is a Asian and Indian food mart with great prices. From fresh veges, meat and international items, to good cosmetic and beauty products...

Wow! Best chicken and cheese pie ever! Easy to see why this is a multiple award winning bakery. This is my favourite place for bakery products, the food is of the highest standard across the board. It is pricey but worth it. The only niggle I have is that the sausage rolls have too much bread filler in with the sausage meat. 9.5 out of 10.

Best bakery EVER! Award winning vegetarian pie (because that's the most important thing ever ) Awesome variety of savoury and sweet options. Super friendly staff. Sit in or takeaway. Best apple donuts.
