Update: 14 July 23. Still great pies (whiskey brisket & jalapeño cheese 🙀 🤤) but check out the message on my coffee. Made my day. Do small things with great love….

Omfg great pies!
Bacon & Egg pie was awesome! Great coffee too! Personalized message made visit extra special. Definitely recommend to stop on your way through!
Quality of food and coffee of this tiny, take-out-only establishment is superb. Tirau is welly represented by coffee outlets, but they're a mixed bag. Often it's a lottery because of a lack of consistency. Hopefully the Baker's espresso will be just as good the next time I drop by.

The savoury and sweet treats available in the full and fully vegan cabinet at The Baker would be right in place at any fully vegan bakery in Poneke or Tamaki Makaurau (Wgtn./Akld.).
