Arrowtown Bakery, my favorite shop in my favorite small town in New Zealand! Neighboring to the busy Queentown, the rustic Arrowtown offers a modern village vibe where locals and tourists blend in together. The bakery is unofficially a “must-visit” for anyone who dropped by to Arrowtown, known for its famous pies and irresistible “Breakfast Buttie” – Hot fried bacon, egg, hash brown and sausage layered together, sandwiched between a saucy burger bun, freshly baked in the bakery.
The pies ($6.80) were my favorite, and I can unashamedly say that I have tried all the pies in this bakery. My favorites are Venison Pie, Steak & Mushroom Pie, and Hot & Spicy Chicken Pie. Even the Vege Pie is surprisingly good!
They also make Asian fusion pies such as Thai Green Curry Pies and Butter Chicken Pies, which are both locals’ favorite and nearby Asian residents or workers’ favorite. Other more traditional selections include Plain Steak Pies, Steak & Cheese Pies, Steak Bacon & Chees Pies, Mince Pies, Mince & Cheese Pies, Lamb & Mint Pies, and Creamy Chicken Pies. All of them are the same price at $6.80.
Other than pies, their offer a wide selection of delicious Filled Rolls ($7.50), “Footballs” (long shaped filled buns; $8), Panini ($10) and Croissants ($4 for plain, $8 for ham + cheese + tomato). Oh, if you’re early and lucky to get your hands on their Almond Croissants and Cinnamon Scrolls, you have to try them!
Bacon & Egg Filo ($6.50), Mousetrap ($6.50), Raspberry Iced Bun ($5), Lamington ($5) and Lollicake ($4.80) are some of the traditional Kiwi bakery food you can find here.
Why not finish your meal with a guilty slice of sweet desert? I recommend the Custard Slice, Apple Slice, and Carrot Cake, but everything looks so tempting, right? And look at those Cream Donuts and Eclairs! (Those are fresh cream made in the kitchen, why is the key to smooth and fragrant cream)
