Pembroke Pâtisserie has become the destination for world-class pastry in Wānaka. While their sought-after pastries supply select cafés around town, the focus is firmly on their own boutique pâtisserie.

Well established in their Albert Town home, the space is as spectacular as the food. The purpose-built café features exposed macrocarpa, moss-green booth seating, and gleaming white tiles, offering a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike.

Having evolved from a home kitchen and market stall to a permanent storefront, owners Kirsty & Matt Schmutsch have maintained that community-focused charm. Situated in the heart of the region's biking & walking trails, it’s a favourite pit-stop for thirsty cyclists and picnic-goers looking for hot pastries and lunch.

For those seeking the finer things, the cabinet is filled with artistically prepared macarons and delicate tarts. From early morning espresso to the afternoon rush, Pembroke Pâtisserie proves that while Albert Town is quiet, there is absolutely no shortage of quality.

Stay A While: Why Wānaka Rewards Those Who Slow Down

Story Wānaka
Those classic scenes: towering peaks, the tree, coffee by the lake. Wānaka's icons have earned their status, but this stunning corner of our country has a knack for revealing much more to those willing to stay a while. With over 750 kilometres of trails connecting townships, lakes, and high country, you could spend weeks here without retracing your steps, and without hardly making a mark as you go: two-wheeled or two-legged transportation is both highly encouraged and highly catered for in these parts.
