Reviews of Twizel Bakery Cafe

J. W.

Beautiful bakery. Fresh rolls, pastries to die for and a delightful owner we wish the best for. Staff are hard to get and to keep, interest and commitment are no longer a priority for young ones these days so businesses like this suffer and pay the price. I hope you can hang on in there. Good luck.

D. S.

Good value pies. Certainly NOT $7.50. At &4.50 they're really good and filling, not forgetting TASTY 😋 Opens really early, taking care of the different trades that are building the town bigger every day. Friendly owner (Andy) always happy to oblige you

A. R.

A very personable man served us. Scones were huge and delicious and the donuts! Yum. We'll be back for sure

M. A.

Full Breakfast was meh. It was filling for sure, but these items shouldn't amount up to $15. There was nothing special about the food nor the service. I wouldn't come back for the full breakfast again, but maybe other items. They seem to have other nice selections.

R. R.

Spectacular food Brilliant service Great value for money with huge slices for low prices. A well filled mince and cheese pie. 10/10 would come here again ❤️

N. R.

Best pies - steak and cheese was so good. Hearty and honest. Custard filled cronut was sublime. Thanks team. Better pie than the one I got at Doughbin in Wanaka that was full of gravy with no steak or cheese

F. H.

Great spot for a bakery feed. The best Cornish pasty iv ever found in NZ. I make sure to head here when ever I'm in Twizel. A proper pasty with mince, peas, turnip etc... all the meat and veg you could want.

D. A.

Had a coffee and a sausage roll. Both great. Nice clean environment.

The Twizel Bakery Cafe is located in the town centre along State Highway 8. We stopped here for a quick visit while driving south from Mount Cook to Wanaka early in the morning. During our visit we tried the long black coffee which was ok as well as their peppered steak pie which was similarly ok. The pie was filled mostly with gravy with only a few small chunks of beef. Taste was decent. Prices were reasonable for the portion size and quality of the coffee and meat pies. Not sure if we'd stop here again or try something different further south in Omarama.

D. L.

We’ve been in Twizel for a couple of days as part of the Alps to Ocean ride. We must have gone back to this cafe 6 or 7 times as the food was so good. They have excellent sandwiches and buns for your lunch time riding breaks, and they have these cronuts that might even win a best in NZ award one day! Enjoy!

M. W.

This little bakery caff rocks. Coffee good, great selection sandwiches, cakes, slices, pies and sausage rolls for the 'I don't want to hang around too long traveler'. Good free WI FI too.

D. W.

Well worth the stop great food. Great to taste and great service. And the cream filled donuts are 10/10😋

n. S.

Had a few places to choose for breakfast, had a great kiwi breakfast meal, service was fantastic, 2 girls 2 lads, the coffee was made really well. The four of them were so polite. I was really enjoying my breakfast and service until the owner started yelling at his staff which made all sitting look up.

R. J.

Grabbed some hot chips and an ice cream here. The pottle consisted of about 10 largish chips. They were nice but not really worth it. Ice cream was and ice cream however the man wasn’t sure what he was doing. Maybe in training?? Wouldn’t think a single scoop of vanilla ice cream would be too challenging! They were friendly so that was a bonus.

T. P.

Absolutely amazing service, staff were so nice and food was great highly recommended!. They gave us pies and scrolls at the end of the day so they didn't go to waste so I donated them to people in need, great community company who is about sharing and helping out 🙂

A. M.

Yummy food, good service especially with having a queue out the door. Good pricing as well

S. Y.

Look out Fairlie Pies, Twizel Bakery Cafe just beat you with the Best Mince and Cheese pie. Ever.

S. V.

Great friendly service, delicious food esp hot chips rock💜

S. H.

A great addition to any day! We stopped for ice cream and were served by the kindest gentleman. They were closing up shop but he saw the need for ice cream in our eyes and came to our rescue. Great, friendly service with yummy treats - an excellent pit stop on our trip. Thanks again!

N. H.

Every time I go there the food items are fresh and tasty

J. G.

Super quick. Nice customization options for eggs. They even packed a veggie sandwich for us even when it was not on the menu for our 10km hike

R. R.

Very popular, friemdly staff. Good options to sit outside keeping social distancing.

No coffee hope they get back to normal again Tourists are waiting

B. U.

The best cakes we’ve had in NZ so far! ♥️ Carrot cake nice and moisty, vanilla custard filled cronut just amazing and brownie gooey and full of chocolate. 😊 Cakes are usually too sweet here in NZ but these were different. The staff guy at the counter is adorable. And it smells really nice in the bakery, so you know that what you buy is definitely fresh. Absolutely recommend.

L. L.

My family was visiting from Australia and needed a good breaky before hitting the road again. This bakery was fantastic! They had friendly staff, great coffee and the meals were delicious! There was a minor mistake with only half the meals coming out at first but they were more than happy to fix it up for us. Also have a lovely selection of bakery goods! Would definitely recommend <3

J. Y.

Great food, lovely service. Especially welcoming on a cold day!

Wow, just look how big these scoops of ice cream were! double scoop of ice cream on a cone for $4! The guy behind the counter was really nice and friendly, we highly recommend the ice cream, it was so good, two more people approached us while we were sitting down eating them and asked where we got them from, so we directed them to this place! The photo of the ice cream was alittle eaten and was bigger! Yum!

B. D.

Not too bad, place was pretty grubby with loads of dirty plates ontop of the cabinets and on the tables… food was ok

Best Pies on the South Island and the most delicious Sausage Rolls we have ever had. Delicious Salad, ham, egg Sandwhich too. We are from Auckland and wish Twizel Bakery was our local bakery. There pies and sausage rolls are better than Sheffield's and Fairlie's bakery that we were told to stop at. I would skip them and drive straight to Twizel Bakery. Thank you for the yummy pitstop before our long drive :)

K. W. T.

Ordered steak and cheese pie, sausage roll and cinnamon muffin. Pie was good really as there’s chunky pieces of meat inside. Sausage roll was okay and muffin was too sweet though. Staffs were friendly too. Plenty of parking spaces outside as it’s at the town centre

C. E.

Visited the Twizel Bakery Cafe over Easter and had the best Donut ever in New Zealand. Great and friendly staff - even though it was so busy. If you visit Twizel, visit the Twizel Bakery Cafe!

S. S.

Popped in this morning when they were opening and they were great. Got super fresh pies and a much needed coffee to keep me going on my long road trip! Definitely will be back

D. S.

Delicious pies and cakes, went there twice only and the staff not only recognised us but also had the nicest customer service we’ve seen in a long time. Sausage rolls were delicious!

N. M.

Just bought a wide variety of their desserts and had to stop mid-enjoyment of them to leave them this review. Their cakes and pastries are simply superb and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Their muffins and cakes are wonderfully moist, their portions are generous, and their pastries and chocolates have wonderful flavor and aren’t overwhelmingly sweet.

M. B.

The waiter/cashier/barista who was there this evening is super friendly. The coffee tasted great, muffin was awesome and I’m really thankful for such a friendly waiter! One star is missing because, well that’s just the way this place is, it smells like fast food. Thank you!

M. W.

Not a michelin starred establishment, but if you're a roadtripper/backpacker looking to fill your tummy with some decent tasting and decently priced sandwiches (a wide range), this humble eatery is pretty alright. I certainly enjoyed my meals there. (visited May 2019)

D. K.

Nice place to grab a sandwich and a cup of coffee as a breakfast for mt. Cook hikers!

M. T.

The food was ok . The buns needed relish in them. Nice selection of food.Nice service

E. P.

Had the best ice cream and doughnuts here! The kindest shop owner let us in just after closing just to make our day. Can't recommend this place enough, really delicious food and great service! Thank yooouu!

H. L.

The set up in this cafe is quite stark and it's not very inviting. The coffee and cake we bought was okay. The highlight of the visit was the handsome and friendly young man serving us. Otherwise it's not what I'd choose again. Atmosphere and surroundings are important.

V. P.

Today I went to the bakery, one girl made fantastic coffee, and I tried the danish for the first time. I can definitely recommend this one! I really liked the atmosphere which was made by the nice girls there. :)

P. P.

Great pies. Very tasty.

S. P.

Great breakfast accommodating for feeding kids

M. K.

Friendly staff. Free WiFi which is handy. We had cheese & onion toasties which were really good - very generous with the cheese which is what you want from your toastie! Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because there wasn't a wide vegetarian selection.

G. W.

The friendly, helpful staff serving a wide variety of tasty pies, sausage rolls, sandwiches, muffins, cakes & slices 2 name a few + lovely hot coffees make up for the slight lack of ambiance. It's the place to go!

R. R.

The Best Pies in NZ!! My wife and I popped in here for some local bakery treats and found Andy the owner to be fun and friendly!! Amazing Steak and Cheese Pie and Chocolate peppermint slice!! As well as a cup of tea.. We were so impressed that we came back for the same at the end of our road-trip and we were served by Keyin who is beyond his years and an asset to the shop!! - skip the main road tourist traps and pop into Twizel for a treat!!

K. P.

Great little place in Twizel. Tons of takeaway selection for lunch, breakfast and a snack. They also serve breakfast all day, which was probably the breakfast with the best bang for your buck I've seen on the road in New Zealand, they actually serve a good amount of protein as opposed to many other breakfast places, which seem to favour carbs only.

T. B.

Great morning stop for the hiker, biker, or other day traveler. Pre-made sandwiches, nice breakfast quiches, quick coffee with a creasant or other pastry, and you are off to the day's adventures. Great find on our way to hiking in the Mt. Cook national park.

Pies were yummy. We had steak n cheese. Service fast and friendly. Easy parking.

S. H. (.

Great pies, but gave me and my friend different pies to what we ordered and charged us more.

J. C.

Have an All day breakfast and you are done till dinner. Big meal? Coffee is great too. Prices are moderate and food is good.

G. V.

Great good value food. Great spot in the centre on Twizel.

Very nice staff! Brownie, coffee & chocolate cake were very tasty. Fast WIFI. Calm place. We liked it.

D. A.

My go to café in Twizel. The coffe was never strong enough (long black) but their chocolate cake was delicious! The free WiFi and possibly to charge devices was highly appreciated!

C. R.

So delicious and the prices are good! I hate to go somewhere twice while on vacation because I like to try new things but we'll be going back here for sure.

Doesn't look like much but the delicious ham and cheese toasties, and chocolate cake hit the spot for a mid arvo snack, particularly given most other places stop serving lunch after 2.30pm.

K. M.

Pretty basic joint, but their pies are absolutely first rate. The streak and cheese is particularly good, nice and peppery.

C. R.

Had a delicious coffee while waiting for our campervan to be fixed. They have plugs to charge phones and a good WiFi!

Came here after a few days hiking and the food was really good. Clean premises and great service too. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

Good food, good sercice

M. H.

Lovely food indoor outdoor seating. Free WiFi . Gets very busy busy in season but worth the wait

Great Cheese Scone..and nice flat white coffee..just what we needed.

H. B.

Good food, great prices. Nice for eating on the patio on a nice day but not a lot of space or decore inside.

Great place for a wee treat.. my kids love their hot chocolates..

Tasty Food

(Translated) Not the nicest shop inside and out. But good coffee and sweet and savory pastries. Everything was a good quality. Our muffins were made warm again, so they were twice as good. There is a very fast Wi-Fi, which can be used indefinitely. Very nice employees. If my review was helpful I'm happy about a thumbs up :-) (Original) Nicht der schönste Laden von innen und außen. Aber guter Kaffee und süße sowie herzhafte Backwaren. Alles hatte eine gute Qualität. Unsere Muffins wurden nochmal warm gemacht, so waren sie doppelt so gut. Es gibt ein sehr schnelles W-lan, welches unbegrenzt genutzt werden kann. Sehr nette Angestellte. Falls meine Bewertung hilfreich war freue ich mich über einen Daumen hoch :-)

(Translated) The staff is a bit hard-working, and the coffee is to be avoided. Desserts are not bad, if you want undefined calories for breakfast. (Original) Lo staff é un po' duro di comprendonio, e il caffé é assolutamente da evitare. I dolci non sono male, se volete calorie indefinite per colazione.

(Translated) We had a coffee here and ate a snack, I found it a bit uncomfortable to sit here. Coffee and food was cheap and good. (Original) Wir haben hier einen Kaffee getrunken und einen Snack gegessen, ich fand es etwas ungemütlich hier zu sitzen. Kaffee und Essen war günstig und gut.

(Translated) Super tasty food, nice staff, good WiFi And when the store closed, there were free pastries 😍 Just great (Original) Super leckeres Essen, nettes Personal, gutes WiFi Und zu Ladenschluss gab's noch gratis Gebäck 😍 Einfach toll

(Translated) Good coffee but staff not friendly at all. Pity (Original) Bon café mais personnel pas sympathique du tout. Dommage

(Translated) Nice place with very affordable prices! And most importantly, a great staff. Thanks again ! (Original) Lieu agréable avec des prix très abordables ! Et surtout, un super personnel. Merci encore !
