The first thought that came to my mind after the first bite was 'why can't we have something like this in Sydney?'
Glad to have discovered this place on my travels. The pies were succulent, fresh and absolutely delicious. Not only this bakery have the most wondrous pies, the environment was well presented and staff were very friendly. Wish they had more branches in other areas.
The crafty baker is crafty indeed!!!
Some of the best pies in NZ. Then there's the delicious bread. Sampled the chia sourdough, yum!
Not only do they have friendly staff their breads are the best!
Most authentic French baguette found in Auckland !
They also made me love pies :)
Thank you for your expertise !
Best Bread in Auckland! Friends constantly ask us where we found it :)
Delicious pies, bread and slices. Yum! Will definitely be coming back next time we are in Auckland.
Excellent products and Excellent Service. Highly recommended!!!!
The toasted sesame sour dough is the best bread I have ever enjoyed....Excellent friendly customer service to match their tasty baked goods
The best god damn baker in town! Pumpkin seed sour dough
Delicious sourdough breads in loads of flavours. Love that they do rye bread.
Amazing artisan breads, pies & cakes selection, definitely a healthy choice!
Thanks again Crafty Baker, for donating to our fundraising bake sale for KidsCan, those slices are out of this world!
Delish! The pesto sourdough, gluten free brownie and banoffee slice are all sooo yum!
I just tried the chocolate and cranberry sourdough......I want to eat it forever!! Soft, slightly bitter, then the juiciest cranberry and delicious melt chocolate....heaven!!
Mmmmmm best ever mince and cheese pie I have ever tasted - I wish I lived just around the corner. I think I'll need to make a regular trip from the North Shore. Fabulous!
I look forward to the weekends when I can go to crafty baker and get some goodness. The pies are outstanding! You can taste the quality of the ingredients. The selection of breads, cakes, slices and pastries are to die for. If I could give them a higher rating I would me and my family love this local gem.
Best bread in west auckland and coming from germany I know about bread! New indian owner luckily got trained by the previous owner and got the same skills now. I you want the healthy alternative check them out. My favourite is the purple wholemeal
Good mince pie, I liked the pepper!! fresh croissants straight out of the oven too. The sourdoughs are obviously great too! Can’t wait to have it with my soup today! Yay! Deeelicious.
Love the food here from wonderful loaves to the amazing vegetarian pies & the banoffee slice is seriously next level goood! This team sure know how to make tasty baked goods.
Delicious croissants and doughnuts (ones with holes and ones with filling). The sourdough breads are quite large -but individual mini rolls are also on offer. Would go back for the pastry.
Beautiful and fresh rolls and yummy sweet treats that I couldn't finish! I had heard great things about the pies at this joint but unfortunately ours just weren't that great. BEARLY any cheese in a mince and double cheese and was far to spicy for liking.
I have tried many of the delicious fare from here. The bread is great, the seeded sourdough is my favourite. Yummy slices and flavour filled pies. Great staff and great food at a steal.
Your foods amazing and your rolls are devine every time we come in we allways get a warm welcome.

Top of the line is the best way to describe these guys. The meat in this mince and cheese was phenomenal, and the cheese just complimented it so well.
I could have gone back for a second but I have a weight limit to watch.

Introduced and now convinced by Crafty Baker, Lovell ..These are currently the best Steak and Cheese pies in Auckland. Simply amazing savouries and sweet goods!
Pies are the most flavourful in Auckland (with a good dose of pepper). Toasted sesame sourdough also top notch!!
The best bakery in Glen Eden :) especially if you are vegetarian or vegan! Great vege options. We love all the vege/vegan pies, donuts are delicious and you can't go past the sesame baguette. A regular for our family. You won't be disappointed!
Have driven past many times, and on the off chance decided to try today. The chilli chicken cheese pie is quite possibly the best tasting pie I have ever had. I am sure the other pies are good, amazing stuff!
Loved this bakery so much, pecan tart and chili chicken pies were our favorite, so so sad it's closed now😢
Just wanted to say long overdue, your bakery is probably the best in the west. Love the pies, love those pastry's. The pecan tart really made my day lol but yeah always good 😁
Highly recommend. If you are after slices and cakes you have come to the right place as they are to die for and the variety of pastries is amazing and pies are so flavoursome. Definitely a massive 10/10 for the fab customer service always provided when visiting for my weekly goodies.
Well what a pleasure it always is, to be able to buy a home style seasoned, savoury deli type puff pastry, organic meat or veggie pie (the chilli cheese chicken is something special).
But even the plain mince is anything but!.
Bread is obviously beautiful.
It also is a joy to eat, a deliciously tasty CB sweet treat.
And if Crafty Baker stands for Well Crafted with quality ingredients by proper bakers served to you by ever friendly people.
Then they ain't lying ☺️👍
Not cheap, but hands down the best pie I've had in a long long time. Lots of other goodies, including a good stock of vegan friendly options. Very very generous sizing on the donuts, I couldn't finish mine.
