Reviews of Richoux Patisserie

V. H.

My coffee tastes burnt, fresh cream doughnut was way too sweet! The wagyu beef with red curry pie was good but disappointed with the gourmet deluxe steak and cheese pie, which had too much gravy.

M. L.

Hands down the best pies (vegan or otherwise) that I've had in New Zealand. The shells are flaky and fillings are so incredibly moist. Very happy for the wide selection of vegan pie options available.

C. D.

The food is generally quite nice, however twice now I’ve been given the wrong pie. The first time was a delivery order during lockdown, so I understood a mistake could be made. But this time it was in person. I asked for a smoked fish pie, and when I got home I found it was a steak pie… lucky I don’t have any particular dietary needs…

S. C.

Thankfully my chiropractor is based in Ellerslie, which means I have an excuse to go to Richoux Patisserie afterwards... I have tried every Cafe on the Ellerslie strip and now only go to Richoux. Why? Because the food is incredible across a wide range of items.(Yes their pies are to die for, but so is their ginger crunch). Staff are so friendly. Coffee great. Next step would be to buy the shop next door and put in more tables!

B.

Broth brought some pies back home. I tried the duck pie and the pork belly one. The duck pie was quite nice. Nice flavours and huge bits of duck inside. The pork one was a bit different, peppery and slilghtly sweet. Both were quite tasty and decently sized.

J. G.

Great pies - meat and vegan alike were excellent. Quality flakey pastry, tasty and generous filling.

L. P.

Today come to try award winning pie of this year. Wagyu beef curry is very delicious worth drinking all the way here. Sit and eat in the shop its constant queues during lunch time . Not even 1:30 in the afternoon the other winning Pie Steak and Cheese is solid out. Tried one dessert is just ok. Will come back again to taste the steak pie . Thanks for the lovely pie !

f. b.

This place has a great selection of yummy vegan pies - about 7 different varieties. Plus loads of vegan sweet options too. Finally, a bakery I can go to with plenty of options for me. Keep up the good work. Oh, also, the guy who served me was so nice!

G. M.

Lots of awards - with good reason! Jason and the team make amazing food. Of course the pies are great, but the sandwiches are superb too - especially the cajun chicken. Really good coffee too. Love Richoux!!!

M. T.

Absolutely delicious pies! I was happily surprised that I found the vegan pies tastier than meat pies. Well worth a trip from the shore.

W.

Best pie and bakery shop in the district with a huge range of pies suitable for all tastes and lifestyles. My favourite is the New York steak pie.

D. L.

The man that served us today was an absolute sweetheart and I will gladly come back here again for their delicious food. Probs won't get the steak jalapeno and cheese again though, bit too spicy for me hahaha.

L.

The chicken Camembert pie was nice however the “gourmet” mince and cheese pie had multiple pieces of gristle or bone… quite disappointing for $5.60

R. B.

An award winning pie, sandwich and cake shop. Rather too much cayenne pepper in the steak and kidney pie for my liking.

J. J.

Good pastry but not liking how they treat coffee. Even when asked if milk can be warm and not hot, it was still on the brink of burnt. Happens every time. The lady has put the steaming wand in the jug, then left it there until milk literally burst out of the jug. As a coffee enthusiast I get sad seeing things like this, so just sharing this to warn other coffee lovers.

D.

Great selection of vegan donuts, sweet and savory items. Vegan steak n cheese pie is amazing. Reasonable prices.

G. H.

Richoux is always worth making the detour to. This trip I tried the vegan butter chicken pie and it was super yum!

S. t.

Dam - the pies are good. Fillings are delicious and the pastry the pies are cooked in is really really good. They've obviously given it some thought and come up with with a unique recipe. Had a jam doughnut too. Haven't had a doughnut as good as that for a long while. Again, a very good pastry. Yum 😋

P. M.

We came from Hamilton to try this place out. And WOW they did not disappoint. The Vegan steak and cheese actually reminded me of lasagne toppers i used to have as a kid and the vegan butter chicken pie was even better than the non vegan. The vegan custard was oh my God!!! To die for yummy when you have not had custard in a while. And the vegan apple and passionfruit pie had us fighting hahaha. The decision now is do we get some for home or do we make it an event to come up just for a fix hmmmm....

B. M.

This is a nice French inspired patisserie. Yum sweet delights to choose from here and they have won a stack of awards. The fair trade coffee and milk is organic too.

S.

The pies are tasty and good for the price. One of the best pies I've ever had in Auckland. Staff members are friendly and welcoming. Prices are good for the standards. Overall ambience and seating arrangements could improve.

C. H.

The vegan pies are to die for!! I got a vegan mince and cheese pie, there was such a decent amount of cheese and it tasted so good. The pastry was the delicious. I also got their custard filled donuts, best donut I've ever had! Not greasy at all, couldn't fault it. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely be back.

P.

Based on yummy award winning vegan pies! So glad they are in our neighbourhood!

M.

So happy we finally got to try their legendary vegan pies. It's no wonder they keep winning all the awards. Had to buy a few frozen pies to bring home to Welly. 👌

L. M.

Award winning vegan pies! Great selection, fantastic service. They are really dedicated to creating delicious vegan recipes. My favourites are the chicken and creamy mushroom and the caramelised pork - all vegan! Best pies in Auckland!

T.

WOW ... I tasted why you're a NZ Supreme Pie Award Gold Winner; Supreme Winner! Bought: 1 Steak & Cheese Vegan Pie - for mate - verdict, wow! Pretty good. 1 Steak & Mushroom Vegan Pie - for me - verdict, DELICIOUS! More! 2 Spinach & Cheese Vegan Quiche - 1 each - verdict, easy 10/10 !!! The goods truly speak for themselves. Perfect pastry and texture of fillings and deliciousness = Exquisite! I look forward to continually enjoying your vegan pies and other selections well into the future. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this vendor.

C. M.

One of the best bakeries in Auckland!! If you're looking for a pie, check them out. They have recently expanded their range to include a variety of vegan pies and sweets. Minimal seating available, but they do have some outdoor tables.

P.

The place is buzzing, even though lots of people have left Auckland for Christmas. They have more varieties of vegan pies than they have space to display them, and all of those I've tried have been yummy. They've really jumped on board with plant-based goodies that people who sometimes eat meat will nevertheless love. There are gorgeous sweet things, too, and the staff are really friendly. Not everything is vegan, and I'm sure that stuff must be good, too. The doorway is a bit narrow, but should be okay for most wheelchairs, I think, and there is outside seating on the pavement in case the inside is cramped when you visit. Again, the staff are really friendly and I'm sure they would do everything they can to ensure access for their customers. I don't work for them; I just like them!

S.

Consistently excellent food. Usually Not a massive fan of vegan pies but these ones really give real meat pies a run for their money, incredible. Even at the end of a day when it’s not as fresh, everything I’ve tried is still amazing. Great service too, everything you’d ever want from a bakery.

q. t.

I can not describe how delicious they are, especially the steak and mushroom pie. It is full of flavor, when I bite it, the soft steak and the creamy source pour into my mouth, It’s sososo yummy, I cannot stop even though I finished my lunch yet. Also the blueberry muffin, it’s so fluffy. Will come again.

M. A.

Fantastic new discovery for me!, popped in for the first time yesterday after my daughter told me about this great vegan friendly bakery. I was over the moon to see the lovely selection of plant based fare from pies to donuts, I chose the vegan chicken and mushroom pie and jam donut and they were both so yummy, it's no wonder why this lovely bakery has won so many awards. The staff are so lovely too, the lady who tended to me was so friendly. Richoux has now become my fave, looking forward to my next visit.

A. T.

Had a delicious vegan steak, jalapeño and cheese pie. It was really delicious. Better than the meat alternative, in my opinion. My wife also loved the vegan custard doughnut she got. She couldn't spot any difference to the dairy alternative.

D. S.

So good I'm going through the effort of reviewing it. Best pie I've had in recent times. I had the chicken cranberry and its nice to see vegan options for my partner too, which they seemed to enjoy thoroughly

S.

The best vegan pies, sandwiches and croissants I’ve ever had! I regularly drive out of my way to go here, the food is so delicious and the service is super friendly. 🙂

A.

Just ate their Vegan Steak Cheese Jalapeno pie for lunch. By far, one of the best pies I've had so far...just the right amount of flaky crust and the filling was brilliant. I'm not a vegan, but am going to try all of Richoux's vegan offerings I can. Totally worth the 10 minute walk from work.

J.

Super awsome. Good pies, they win so many awards yet in good price. Tasty treat. Love the customer service.

V. D.

Jason is friendly, likes what he does and draws you into his culinary world with flavors that are huge and don't feel like compromised flavors for the vegans. My omni colleague loves their meaty sandwiches and sweet treats. I will always go there.

M. J.

Our WHOLE family LOVES your pies & dessert treats:) We've been stopping by for years now. Thank you& awesome you can cater for my vegan daughter too!! Bless:)

V. B.

Best vegan pies in town! The chicken cranberry is my fav

P.

I have got to say for a true blue meat eater this cafe's vegan/ vegetarian pies and pastries would turn me to loving veggies! The vegan butter chicken pie was absolutely delish!! Worth the prices and great variety!

M. T. F.

Amazing Vegan Pies with full flavour.

M.

I'd heard a lot about this bakery but never managed to get to it.... until today.... 30mins ago. On my way home I stopped in to grab a few things to give them the good ol' taste test. 30mins, 4 bites into a few vegan pies and a vegan custard donut....... I AM SOLD! BEST VEGAN BAKERY OPTION OUT THERE!!!!! Will definitely be going back to try some vegan sandwiches!!!

C. S.

For the last two days we bought pies for our family dinner. We enjoyed 4 pies daily with red wine. Excellent quality and this is the only pie not giving me heartburn. It says a lot about the great quality of the mince meat. Thank you to the team making these excellent pies, keep doing the great work you are doing and you won a repeat customer.

K. T.

Good bakery, smells of old new york bakeries with classic goodies and sandwiches. Has some GF options but never seems to have their daily GF Friond muffins which are suuper delicious. Disappointed cause ive come here from West Auckland on 3 separate occasions just for that Friond muffin/thing.

N. B.

Would say 3.5, but there's no such thing in Google rating so let it be 4. Didn't quite get why the place claims to be French? There's literally nothing from French baking there, not even plain croissants. Was attracted by the French name so was somewhat disappointed 😞 My apple strudel was cold as, another minus. However, my hubby was quite happy with his pie, and the coffees were good.

F. S.

Pick a pie any pie... You won't be disappointed... And if your vegan they have some of the craziest vegan desserts and sweets oh and did I mention the award winning vegan pies?

L. H.

The vegetable pie is very delicious and tasty, I'd like to come again.

L.

Genuinely the best pie I've ever had. (That's even compared to when I ate meat) pastry was perfect, flavour was rich, cheese was creamy. Delicious

K.

We love their gourmet pies. They have the BEST duck pie ever. Service is always great also. 👏

T. M.

I've only had the veggie pie so far - so tasty that when I go back I can't help but just get the same again. And I'm not even a vegetarian! The best pies I've found on the North Island so far.

L. B.

Found this place on FB and had to go there! OMG devine is all i have to say. Will be for my treat meals from now on in. Happy is an understatement. BTW i got a vegan sausage roll, a vegan creamy chicken and mushroom pie and vegan mince and jalapeno pie. I know i know piggy, but care 😂😂😂

A. J.

Spoiled for choice with such an amazing array of vegan pies! Vegan Mince & Cheese, Chicken, Pork... Will require repeat visits.

n. s.

AWESOME vegan pies and so many other great vegan options! The staff is super friendly as well!

G.

The absolute best bakery in Auckland with award wining pies, delicious treats and the best organic coffee around.

M. M.

Best pies in Auckland and best vegan food I've had since starting this journey. Highly recommended

J. M.

Excellent pies and cakes. Had a Caramelized Pork pie & cheese cake. Excellent! Well worth a visit!

D. T.

This place always has the best pies. They always hit the right spot and are done well. Great for vegans n vegos as well

L.

Hands down the best pie I have EVER had. Their vegan pies are to die for and well worth the trip from out west!! I will be back ..soon!

R. J.

Excellent pies with loads of flavoursome filling and great pastry. All the other food looks good too. Friendly staff. They take all forms of payment, including credit card!

보.

The pie was very nice, I had chicken and mushroom and steak cheese. But the dessert was disappointing. :( custard tart taste like old. Not fresh.

S.

THE BEST FOOD! I found this little place on Uber eats one day and it definitely lives up to the hype, consistantly amazing food, would highly reccomend anything from the vegan section, absolutely devine!

M. M.

The queue is worth standing in, the drive is worth it wherever you are. Bring some money though, the carrot cake is great. Apple pie interstellar. Leave the coffee, grab that somewhere else.

Y. K.

Got a blueberry tart for dessert, and it was a bit disappointing. Custard inside was blend, and so was the tart shell. $3.20 the price was in an average range for a small tart. My friend got mince pie and he was unhappy with his pie. Can't stop thinking this breads are a bit overrated.

D. M.

Always a treat. They have amazing pies and pastries and great service. I can see why they win a lot of awards

G. C.

Easily the best place in Auckland for Vegan Pies.

K.

Always try to go here when in Auckland, the Chicken creamy mushroom is my go to pie.

A. S.

Best Vegan options ever at a bakery!!! Love everything ive eaten here and regularly drive from west auckland to ellerslie for their food, awesome friendly staff too 10/10

E.

The best pie i ever ate

C. F.

This place is fantastic. The pies are delicious, many award winning, and the coffee is great too. We are Saturday regulars. Just wish they were open sundays too as would definitely come here after visiting Takapuna markets.

p.

Vegan Pie Heaven The beautiful team at Richoux are incredible you can see the love and care they put into there food ... Pastry was incredible and fillings were perfect ..can not recommend this place enough keep doing what you're doing guys

G. W.

Hands down the best vegan pies and donuts I've ever had. I can see why they win the vegan pie awards so often!

N. G.

Delicious pies and sandwiches. Large selection of vegan food. Amazing service

R. K.

Amazing pies! With so many vegan options, can tell they put care in to what they are making

A.

The rest of the food looked great but skip the bacon and egg pies. Was rather disappointing, but don’t let you stop trying everything else that looked yummy!

K.

Excellent range of food. Dozens of vegan and vege options. The food is DELICIOUS 🙌 and wonderful service to top it off 👍👍👍👍

L.

Bought some pies from here this morning to freeze & we've had them b4 but today picked up some Duck curry, boy are these good, great flavor. Highly recommend.

A.

Always amazing for my vegan treats. My favourite is the creamy mushroom pie

H.

Love the selection of vegan options! Love getting to try something new every visit. Staff are really friendly. Thank you!!

A. P.

Tried the “mince vegan” pie today. I came a bit later than lunchtime so there were only 2 vegan ones left. A bit late to the vegan pie party, but I’m glad I’m on board. Will try other vegan flavours later or perhaps frozen vegan ones to take home. The mud chocolate cake was also good, not too sweet and very moist. Forgot to take pictures as I was too busy eating!

T. W. (.

Used to come here a lot, when I was living here about 3~4 years ago. Some of their pies are still the best among all the ones I've tried. A few months ago, when talking about the delicious pies with a patient and I tried very hard and finally found it on Google map, however the session was finished. Today, the patient comes again and we bring up the topic again. Easily, I find it again on the Google map and just leave a comment by the way. Thanks for all the good pies you've made all the years.

V.

Not the cheapest, but by far some of the best pies out there and some of the flavours while not the usual are stunning. Make the stop if you are in the area, I doubt you will be disappointed

T. v. D.

Great pies. I had the chicken, brie and cranberry pie and it was perfect. Definitely worth visiting if you are looking for a pie and you're in the area.

쉬.

Good menu selections with small seating areas available. Pies had flakey crusts and juicy stuffing. I enjoyed my visit here.

P. B.

Friendly and efficient staff. Thier baked cheesecake is to die for...seriously. Great selection and always fresh. Also if you are going bread free there are some options...

M. A.

I purchased a beef red curry pie and it was delicious. The service was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend.

A. L.

This is a great pie shop/bakery - provided you get a fresh pie. There are lots of pies to choose from (classic, vegan and more fancy options) and dessert as well. Service is also friendly. However, recently I have had to update my review because some of their pies are not fresh depending on what time of the day you go. This has happened to us on many occasions as well. They have also changed the texture of their apple ruharb crumble (it's less crumbly now and a lot more softer - almost like its underbaked) but at least the flavour is still there.

C.

Amazing pies, vegan inclusive and very kind staff members, highly recommend to anyone nearby

T.

One of there pies is the best i have tasted i wont tell because i liked them.

M.

Richoux has an awesome vegan pie range - the Thai green curry pie is amazing! Super friendly staff too. Hands down my favourite place to get a pie!

M.

I go here nearly every day for lunch. Consistently delicious pies, a great selection and innovative flavours 👌🏽

S.

One of the best vegetarian pie I ever eat in NZ.

C.

Wicked vegan pies good to see some vegan pies with some good pastry.

A.

Popular place. Had a chicken and avo sandwich. Really enjoyed. People were buying pies so assume this is the place

S. T.

Best pies I have tasted in Auckland! Pastry was amazing, duck and creamy mushroom filling was full of flavor. Definitely will be back. For the pies hands down 5⭐. I was disappointed with the pear tart, couldn't finish it. It was very bland, couldn't taste the pear and it wasnt fresh, it had a fridge taste to it.

J.

Pies are extraordinary. Sandwiches not so much, but no need to focus on that

B. O.

Amazing vegan pies and treats, next level!!

E.

Sweet items are yum, muffins and cakes are a treat. Well priced local Cafe, with friendly staff.

L. W.

Amazing vegan pies and friendly helpful staff.

E.

I was late to the vegan party. No one invited me. Not the first time, but once I got over that, I had a great time eating a beautiful pie. Green curry is the best, fight me on it. Massive pies for the price, in comparison to Tart. And a trip to Ellerslie village is always a nice change of scenery.

J. G.

Had a slow cooked beef red curry pie. Very interesting and very good.

G. W.

Personally I wasn't the most thrilled with the lunch pastries flavour and freshness, but I'm sure if I was in town and wanted something which for takeaway, I'd stop in again. We were trying to save a few bucks as compared to going to Pastrami and Rye across the street. Had a seat on some uneven small tables outside because there wasnt any room inside, but that's really to their discredit as it's a small shop.

D.

One of the best vegetarian and vegan pies in Auckland.

T. S.

Seriously, get the chicken Camembert and cranberry pie, best thing I have ever wrapped my laughing gear around!

F.

Best Vegan Pies out, Friendly staff with great service. Seki az churr

N. B.

Best pies and cake! we have had and awesome service!

C.

Nice staff. Variety of food. Organic coffee. Reasonable price. Has a charm some new cafes don't have.

D.

Best Vegan pies and donuts in New Zealand! A must visit 💪🙌
