They have a variety of finger buns, dinner rolls, pull-a-parts, sweet and savoury buns, also bread loaves which you can request to be cut in either sandwich or toast slice. I personally am a sucker for the cape seed loaf, toast sliced; or the ham and mayo roll if I'm after something for just myself. Another one that's good for sharing is their cheese and bacon pull-a-part! Or if you're wanting something sweet then the apple custard scroll is definitely the way to go! Bakers Delight in Manukau is located in the South Point shopping mall on Great South Road. This is a perfect location as they also have a supermarket and butcher in the vicinity, making it a one stop shop for all your daily necessities.

This bakery makes scrumy filled rolls one can choose from cabinet, otherwise if none of them tickle your fancy then you can have a sandwich made for you! They have all the fillings and meats and sauces to choose from and make it in front of you. Alongside the healthy options, there are some great naughty treats. My personal favourite is the 'Hershey's infused donut', which im only allowed once in a blue moon. It is decadent and delicious. Yum pies, and standard bakery food- muffins, scones, lamingtons, rolls and the like.

The shabby exterior really leaves little to be desired, but as far as yum cha goes, VR Baker's Restaurant has to be some of the best in Auckland. There are no trolleys dashing by; rather, the waitresses carry around platters of piping hot bamboo steamers by the dozen. I've only visited twice so am still eating my through their dim sum goodies, but so far, I have yet to be disappointed! All the usual suspects are here, including siu mai, BBQ pork buns, pork spareribs, congee, steamed dumplings, innards and feet. They also have other, less common goodies like the sticky rice balls, which I prefer over the banana-leaf wrapped version and are definitely worth a try. I highly recommend the siu mai - they're uber succulent and a prime example of how they should be! As for dessert, the egg tarts are really good as well, but even better are their baked custard buns. If you can't find something you like from what's being carried around, you can ask for a dim sum menu (complete with coloured pictures!) and they will cook to order as well. So communication may be a little strained because many of the waitresses don't speak great English, but the staff are friendly and fast at filling up tea and clearing the tables. And VR Baker's is a bakery too, stocking not only the typical cakes and sandwiches in their cabinets, but also the dim sum offerings. Affordable, huge portions, fast and delicious, VR Baker's Restaurant truly is a hidden gem and is fast becoming my number one pick for yum cha in Auckland!

It's a very small store but aesthetics aside, they do great food. I have to say, they chicken savouries for 90 cents are delicious. Not only are they pretty damn cheap, but just a couple of them will fill you up! I'm also a long time fan of their ham and cheese bun (a bakery staple), and their lamingtons are great too. In fact, all of their baked sweet range from about $1-$1.50, so its far from breaking the bank. I quite enjoy their pies and their sausage rolls are massive! Their drinks are pretty cheap too, so I'm always running in there at the last minute to grab some water. There's an espresso machine here The ladies are pretty lovely here and try to serve everyone as fast as they can when the customers start to line up. There are so many bakeries in the Southmall area, and this is one of the better ones. Great location and great food.

They even sell steak pies at the McDonald's there! This little gem bakery sells a large selection of different pies, donuts, baked goods, sandwich, and other delicious goody!! Their food is delicious and fresh. They have won many awards for a number of their pies. Also, their apple pie was to die for. Pricing is fair and the portion is filling. The owners were really nice and friendly. And of course their coffee was amazing! Ever want some good pies, I recommend making the trip here!

I was there for a weekend, so went to a few other places in hunt of this mythical amazing bakery, but turns out this slightly dull looking place is the one. They have a big range of pies, including a very good spinach and feta one, and a whole lot of really tempting cakes. I had a little rum ball, and it was pleasing. I shall be back. I only wish they had some more drink options apart from the Coke range.

Always busy in the mornings before school (Howick College is a short walk away) and on Saturdays when rugby is played on the sports field opposite. (Due to the appetite of teenage boys and rugby players for pies, I do not expect the Bellevue ever to go broke.) You can get a wide range of cold drinks, there's takeaway hot coffee, they've got a bread slicing machine so you can get the loaf of your choice in thin or thick slices, and if you want something simple and tasty like a mince and cheese pie, a white tank loaf or a lamington, they have got you covered. I recommend the twisted ham and cheese thingies.
