Definitely worth the hype! Yep, this place is the real deal and the pies are epic. We had the steak and cheese (the best we tried all trip!) and the pork belly and apple pie was also really good. It had a piece of crackling on top of the pie - a real treat - and tasted like a roast dinner in a pie! Kids loved their blueberry muffin, super fresh and fluffy. Coffee was just ok but you come for the pies! Delish!

Oh the Fairlie Bakery!!! What a find. We discovered it on a holiday to the South Island and have seriously thought about going back from Taranaki just to visit the bakery, and have discussed as a family if we could get something couriered up for a birthday. Lol. The pies were so much better than anything I've had in years - amazing crispy light pastry and real meat and gravy not the shredded gloop that is the standard fare in N.I. and the cream bun was just like I remember as a child in the 70's and haven't had since - a texture quite unlike the bread buns that are filled with cream these days. Keep up the amazing work guys - a real gem. Come and open another shop in Taranaki please!!!!

The food is to die for, I couldn't decide as it all looked so scrumptious. I live in Australia so I cant see myself going back there any time soon, which is such a shame :( I would love to experience this bakery again, absolutely 5 stars hands down
