Overview

You know those places that just feel like home? That’s what walking into The Village Baker in Raumati South feels like. Tucked away at 14 Margaret Road, it’s got that cozy vibe that pulls you in. From the moment you step inside, it kind of hugs you, you know? The laughter and chatter of locals create a warm buzz, like a comforting blanket against the New Zealand chill.

Seriously, their pies are the stuff of legend. I mean, have you ever had a mince pie that takes you down memory lane? It’s like a flashback to childhood, with flavors that make your taste buds do a little dance. And don’t even get me started on their creamy mushroom or pulled pork pies—pure joy wrapped in flaky crust.

Coffee? It’s not just decent; it’s downright amazing! Perfect to wash down those yummy treats. I’ve got to say, though, check the hours before you go—this place has a bit of a quirky schedule. Closed on Mondays and Sundays, but open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and a shorter Saturday stint.

But, like any good spot, they have their ups and downs. Some folks have mentioned the price is creeping up and the quality’s been a tad inconsistent lately, which is a bummer. Still, if you’re around Kapiti, this bakery is like that favorite song you can’t help but sing along to. It just hits the right notes (most days, anyway).

So make sure to stop in! You might even bump into the friendly owners—the kind of people you’d love to have a cup of coffee with! It’s a bit hit or miss sometimes, but hey, that just adds to the charm, right?
