Visited for the vegan options. I got a sausage roll and an apple turn over. The service was so friendly, the owner was excited to point out the huge range of vegan offerings. It’s so nice to have inclusive menus - especially for those with dairy allergies. I don’t normally eat carb heavy foods but I’ll make a trip back for sure. P.S don’t get this store (ellerslie) mixed up with the Takapuna store. The Takapuna store has very limited vegan options.
Was told about Richoux on my drive home, stopped in for some vegan donuts. Dropped $20 on some damn good deliciousness. The duck and mushroom pie 12/10 was so flavourful and the sauce was so creamy I second guessed the vegan label. The cream donut was a solid 10/10. I didn’t even look through all the cabinet food. So many options for all diets. Will be back very soon! Thanks guys, keep up the great work! 🎉
Amazing Christmas fruit mince pies!! Really yummy and great value. Also tried their steak pie - awesome! If you are looking for great tasting, affordable bakery food. This is the place to go. Quick tip - they also take orders for stuff - like da mince pies🤪
Absolute best pies in Auckland! Love how flaky the pastries are. Always buy their pies at least once a week (reducing it now a bit 'cause, woops, belly fat!). It is so, so good. We highly recommend trying out their award winning pies!
Chicken, cranberry, camembert(5.5$), Steak,cheese(4.8$). Long black(4$) Chicken pie was good, that cheese was so good but I hope there’ll be more cranberry and chicken chunk. Also Long black was also good. But I don’t suggest the Steak cheese pie. It’s too salty and salty and salty.
Two words.. VEGAN PIES. In my lovely photos, there is samples of the vegan steak and cheese, the vegan creamy mushroom and the vegan chicken, cranberry and mushroom. I have become a regular here and am so happy there is a trusted source to get my pie fix!
Steak and Cheese pie was good, love the big chunks, just pastry not flaky. But overall love, and sandwiches are bomb as! Defs will go back to this place.
We had the pleasure in trying their award winning vegan pies today. We tasted the "Chicken", "Mince and Cheese" and "Steak and Cheese", our favourite was the chicken. It's so lovely to have yet another great provider of vegan pies! At $6 a pop they're well worth it. Happy tummies! My only reason for this being a star down from 5 stars is the "cheese" was not melted, it was kind of just placed on the pie. No biggie though! Just would've been perfect if it was.
So good, this is my go to pie spot. The steak and cheese is the only pie I get but all the others should be up to par as well 👌 highly recommended
Service was fast and friendly. I am not really into pies but their chicken Camembert and cranberry pies is just too good to pass up. Their toasties were great too!
Although I try to eat healthier these days, a pie from this place is always good! My favourite is the chicken and cranberry. They have won many awards and I’d say is one of the best pie shops around!
Spent the whole day in Ellerslie on a Saturday, waiting to play a rugby game for my club against one of the local ones here. What better to start of the morning with some Chicken Kebabs, that's right chicken kebabs. I would've a chicken pie but I wasn't too desperate for something big or else I would've been lying on the rugby field trying to catch my breath after 2 mins of play.
The service was ordinary, just the greet and what to order. No waiting time was performed because the kebab was already there.
It's got the regular cafe/bakery layout, you have a dining area on one side and outside of the bakery and you have the ordering area on the other. Some good spacing to walk through to say the least.
Occasionally when I feel like going for a walk I come here from work to grab some food for lunch!
The pies are very damn good here! Today I got the chicken and cranberry and cheese pie, delicious! Great gravy to meat ratio, although sort of lacking in cranberries but I still devoured it within minutes! one of the better bakeries I know in Auckland.
I also grabbed a lemon and ginger slice and that was deliciously crumbly and sweet icing top! Didn't taste much ginger or lemon but it was so yum I didn't mind!
Definitely will be back for more!
Great little cafe with consistently good service.
Coffee is well made, not bitter. Pies are their specialty but they also have a nice range of sandwiches & sweet treats. Doesn't look anything from the road, but well worth a visit.

I first caught wind of the award winning pies at work and decided to try them out for myself. I was never that big of a fan of pies or cafe food but Richoux Patisserie proved to be an exception to the rule.
Food
The pie I selected was the Caramelized Pork Belly Pie (with peanuts). There is the perfect amount of filling, with the sauce being abundant but not such that it oozed out, and enough meat (which was very tender if I may add) to keep me satisfied. It also delivered taste-wise with the sweet and salty flavors blending nicely. The pie crust wasn't crunchy or flaky but I didn't find this to be too great an issue.
More impressively, the two Chicken Kebab Skewers I grabbed to go with my pie blew my mind. The chicken pieces were cooked perfectly - slightly burned/a tiny bit crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. This was without a doubt the highlight of my meal and there's no doubt I'll stop by for more.
My friend went with the Chicken and Mushroom Pie which he was happy with. Due to working near this eatery, I have frequented this eatery and the Smoked Fish and Mince & Cheese Pies also stand out with the latter being the best of its kind I've ever tasted.
Service
Our main server did not appear to speak much English but this did not prevent him from serving us, though I was more impressed with the manager who was very friendly and attentive.
Ambiance
The restaurant was clean, quaint and boasted attractive food displays. There weren't many places to sit and the place filled up very quickly so most people opted for takeout.
Overall
The experience I had totally exceeded expectations and I will definitely be back for more. There is a good selection of drinks and if what I ordered is any indication, the food is cheap but very good (pies at $5 each, skewers at $3 each, sandwiches around $7 each). Richoux Patisserie is a well rounded eatery and in my book the perfect place for anyone wanting quick and cheap feed that satisfies the taste buds.
Recommendations: Caramelized Pork Belly Pie, Chicken Kebab Skewers, Mince & Cheese Pie, Smoked Fish Pie.
I first came here for the pies, as I heard they won some awards. While they're nice pies , I didn't think they were anything special. However I have since tried their coffee and it's very good, and reasonably priced. The rolls, sandwiches, and pastries are also pretty good, but it's the coffee that keeps me coming back.
This bakery has been my go to pie dessert fix for a long time. Normally I'm a bit skeptic about the award winning sings, not a believer of competitions. But their pie! Man! Seriously good!! From the top layer pastry to the delicious juicy fillings to the bottom , perfect!!
Their sweet treats are delicious too. My favourite is the pear tart!
If you go there early enough in the morning, their freshly baked blueberry muffins will just set you right for the morning !
Good cakes and pies. Ordered a whole cake for our office and they put the chocolate cake icing when I got there.
The whole office staff enjoyed a slice of their chocolate cake.
The pies are award-winning pies and a good selection as well.
While not every food item you will buy from this boutique cafe is outstanding Richoux does pretty consistently good sandwiches, pies and fresh wrapped spring rolls viet-cambo styled.
Versus the ellerslie competition and its price line I guess it is a good second to cafe Melba.
Various pie awards are extensively advertised or flaunted. Paying a premium for their pies $5 but people like me who sacrifice ones summer beach bods so the the rest can avoid bad pies is a tragedy in motion.
A few small tables for eat in. A few more outside. Coffee over the years has been mastered. Owner got better and better now staff entrusted and deliver a pretty decent pour. 4/5
Such a great local bakery. Best in Ellerslie i reckon. They have amazing pies! Their pastry is buttery, flakey goodness. And awesome rhubarb crumbles :)
RP has some of the tastiest custard slices I have ever eaten. I love popping into RP whenever I'm passing through Ellerslie to pick up a couple of their custard desserts and apricot Frangipanis.
I'm happy to say their sweets are just as good as the first day I tried them. Many years ago. Their sandwiches and savouries are pretty good too!
The queue was pretty long when I got there. Purchased a steak and cheese pie and it was absolutely marvellous. Best place to get pies! Must go there again! :) :)
We just had a most delicious lemon tart at Richoux in Ellerslie. We selected it because it was the last one left (and my partner and I shared it), as it seemed to be pretty popular... what an excellent choice!!!
Best lemon-style treat I've enjoyed for a long time.
Also had a very moreish 'chocolate raspberry devil' slice. Yummo.
Lunch at Richoux Patisserie was a great place. Had a great selection of pies of award winnning pies which is a definite must try. Highly recommended as they are simply fantastic. If you are near or far this place is a must try.
Fresh food, friendly staff and a great selection of baked goods, sandwiches, rolls, pies and cakes.
If you want the best baked cheesecake in Auckland, this is the place to get it!...
They're not cheap but $4.00 a slice is well worth it!...
I absolutely loved everything about this place! The steak and cheese meat pie was my favorite, but everything was delicious. This is a must try spot when you visit Auckland!
Wonderful delicious offerings! Great service and open and inviting dining space. Unique, fresh, and fulfilling! An absolute 10!
I recently visited Ellerslie Bakery and Cafe and was thoroughly impressed! The food was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had gluten-free options available. The prices were also very reasonable. What stood out to me the most, however, was the friendly and polite staff. They made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer, which was greatly appreciated. Let's support local businesses like Ellerslie Bakery and Cafe that not only offer great food but also excellent service. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area and want to support a fantastic local business.

We absolutely wanted to try the vegan pies and were pleasantly surprised. We tried a variety of their sweet and savoury pastries and enjoyed every single one of them. We realy appreciated the kindness and patience from the staff and liked the ambience in the small shop. Thank you for the great food!
Arguably the best pastry I've had in New Zealand. Pies were delicious, such a good range and the apricot custard slice was to die for. 10/10
Born in NZ and lived on pies my whole life and I'm Soo impressed with the quality of the pies I had here. 100% recommend to try! Pastry was on point and gravy was perfectly balanced. Meat super flavourful just needed a few more pieces but overall a solid 8.5/10 for our first experience. Well done and thank you.
I was driving through the neighbourhood and was starving. I asked Google to recommend a good bakery for lunch, which is what came up. What a treasure! Ordered a gourmet steak cheese pie and a latte. Coffee was above the standard but much better than 95% of bakery I have had. But the pie was AWESOME! Very rich wine flavour, big chunk of meat, fanatic pastry, everything is excellent! You have to try it whenever you pass by! Highly recommended!
The pies are just good. A nice surprise to find this patisserie at Takapuna’s main Street. Vegetarian and vegan pies are also available. The service is warm and friendly.
Yum!! I guess there are worse things to be addicted to right. The caramelised Pork Pie, yum. Chocolate Cake, yum. Vegan Pecan Pie, yum. Your deliciousness is making me need to work extra hard in the gym just to come back for more as I work my way through the cabinet of yummy 😀
The very best pies in Auckland! The slow cooked wagyu beef &red curry pie, vegetarian pie were delicious and there's LOTS of vegan pie options too
Hands down best pie shop in Auckland. Nicest workers, most delicious & flaky pies, and lovely environment to sit down and eat in ☺️ I recommend this place to everyone I know
Love the variety of vegan pies available in this shop. Highly recommend the green curry pie, it the yummiest with best balance of crunch, spice and creaminess. The person at the counter was so helpful to answer my questions and provide suggestions.
Great vegan options. I absolutely love the custard doughnuts and the chocolate pecan pie! Savory pies too. The owner is basically walking sunshine! So welcoming and lovely 🥰 highly recommend!

I've been meaning to try this place out for a while.
I tried 2 pies: a steak & mushroom and a caramelised pork.
I was highly impressed with the S&M but underwhelmed by the CP.
I liked the wide range of pies on offer and was also impressed by the large range of vegetarian pies available.
From my experience... Clearly not every pie can be a winner. However there's certainly enough variety to pique your interest. I'll definitely be back.

Had a baked cheesecake, pecan pie and a raspberry cake and a wagyu red curry pie! Had them for takeaway, really good, few places that I can actually call a good bakery! Really good variety of options, plus many stores around. Worth a visit!

Supreme Pie in Auckland, New Zealand but I like Almond Croissants 😁
I didn’t get the chance to photograph my steak, jalapeño and cheese pie before it was inhaled.
Oh my lord this place is next level and I can now see why they have won so many national pie awards.
Wish I had come sooner and will be back in no time.

The BEST custard slice I have ever had is found here. And the pie I managed to steal from my BF's plate was so delicious. Highly recommend!
