Olde Beach Bakery pumps out delicious baked goods in the heart of Paekākāriki for the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike. Known to many for its Waikanae sibling, the set-up here is similar, and expectations are matched to a T. An array of French-style carby goodness adorns the cabinet: we’re talking croissants, Danishes, pain aux raisins and the like. There’s plenty to satisfy those after classic Kiwi baked goods too – quality pies, filled sandwiches and scones will surely have you coming back for more.     

The industrial feel of the site is fitting for a working bakery. At the back of the store, large glass doors allow customers a full view of the bakery, and you’ll often find a few tots with their noses pressed against the window watching the bakers at work. On quiet days the doors are left ajar, and customers are invited to interact with the back of the house and perhaps take a tip or two to try at home.   

While it’s the pastries and pies that take the spotlight within the cabinet, don’t bypass the various loaves that sit ready and waiting to be whisked away and enjoyed with the whānau. A selection of sourdough bread is available daily, with the occasional specialty bake making an appearance on the weekends.   

On the merch side of things, you can pick up some local pottery, Joco keep cups, handmade spoons and pens, and a couple of wardrobe items if you’re inclined. The cabinet also houses a selection of Salt and Wood BBQ meats, such as bacon, brisket and pastrami.     

There are plenty of options to suit all dietary needs, and the community is at the heart of it all here. You’ll see locals popping in for their bread or pastry and visitors flocking in during those warmer days that invite walkers to explore the coastline.
