Tart Bakery

A lovely bakery with friendly staff and beautiful cabinets.
Had to get their vegan donuts which was more doughy and bread-​like than other donuts I’ve had– in the best way. Had a delicious thin layer of chocolate with toasted almonds on top. It’s great as they cater to both vegan and non-​vegan alike.
Also recommend their little spicy vegetable loaf if you can handle hotness. Their almond croissants looked divine and they had a good selection of pies, sandwiches and slices. Neat little selection of samples on the glasstop as well if you’re in the line waiting like we were waiting to pay up.

After reading some good reviews about Tart Bakery, we stopped in to order some Vegan treats for Christmas. We were pleasantly surprised to find the shop owned and run by the nicest, friendliest people ever! Philippa and her son are absolutely delightful and went out of their way to help. We also tried their vegan brownie and vegan Danish and both were unbelievably delicious. I would highly recommended this bakery to both vegans and non vegans alike. We will certainly be visiting on a regular basis!

This is bakery fare as I remember it as a kid. Forget mock cream in your donuts and egg powder making your pie crusts look a greeny shade of yellow — Tart Bakery is the real deal. Sally lunns, lamingtons and fresh rustic bread, all made by hand on site and in view of the customer. The food at Tart is cute Kiwiana with no pretentiousness — everything is hearty, tasty and oh so bad for the waistline.
I also go to Tart for the atmosphere — there is a real family feel to this bakery, epitomised in the young man who served me when I first went in. Chatty, exuberant and extremely intelligent, this young fella told me all about how the bakery came to be, before gesturing to the piano outside and welcoming me to play it. When I told him I couldn’t even play «Chopsticks» to save my life, he made a break for the piano and played the neighbourhood a song. AMAZING.
