Twizel Bakery Cafe - Twizel New Zealand

Stopped here for lunch on the way home from completing the Alps to Ocean cycle journey. Bacon and egg quiche, chips and coffee. Service was friendly and professional, food was very good and reasonably priced. Outdoor seating was nice with shade cloth over the tables.

Chanced upon this bakery in the town centre. Serves freshly baked pastry. It’s quiet when we are there but we can see it’s Popular among locals. there is 2 tables of regulars eating when we are there. One table of seniors enjoying their coffee chat and another family eating their breakfast. And locals coming in to buy takeaways. Can see that they are all familiar with the shopkeepers and bakers. We love the warm food and generous servings. We had steak mushroom pie. It’s so good we added another pepper steak pie. Fish chips served after 10/11am

The first time we visited, we wanted to grab a late lunch to go and appreciated that this bakery/cafe was still open while many other places were closed on weekends in Twizel. Their gingerbread flavoured hot chocolate and flat white were very made well. The pork riblets that came in a roll had a good amount of fat and was better than we expected. Their mince and cheese pie was hearty with beautiful pastry. The custard crounut was just yum! We came back again just before leaving Twizel for the hot chocolate and coffee. Arriving early in the morning, we saw many locals there which was a testament to how good this place was. Plenty of free nearby parking available Wheelchair-friendly stairless entrance with sliding door. Plenty of space between tables if eating in.

People are very friendly and the service is really good. There was a planned power outage in the area on the day we were leaving and they let us use our Nutribullet to make a puree for our infant son. Appreciate the kindness and bless them for their help.

Don’t expect a fancy cafe this is a classic Stop by place for quick and easy quality pies and bakery stuff. Even with high traffic quick in service and good standard quality food
