About Us

Located in the heart of Mount Maunganui, The Bake Shack is a local institution. We’ve been serving up delicious traditional baked goods to the locals for nearly 20 years as well as building a substantial wholesale supply business so that people across New Zealand can enjoy our products as well.

The Freshest,
healthiest ingredients

One of the reasons Bake Shack food tastes better is because we don’t cut corners with ingredients. We go out of our way to source the best, and where possible local ingredients. When you put the best products in and leave the nasties out (like MSG), the end result is always going to be healthier and tastier. That’s exactly the way Bake Shack customers like it.

When we say hand made,
we mean hand made

At Bake Shack we pride ourselves in being a genuine scratch bakery. For example, our famous pastry is made fresh every day by a team of passionate bakers committed to getting it perfect every time. Our pies are lovingly crafted for maximum flavour and a perfect consistency so every pie is as good as the next. Our food is made with love, by people who love food!
