Olde Beach Bakery- review from Stuff 15.06.21 Where: Ono Street, Waikanae If you’re driving through Kāpiti, be sure to turn off at Waikanae Beach and stop for a treat at this cute little bakery (which also comes highly recommended from senior members of Stuff’s Wellington newsroom). “Just off the expressway in Waikanae Beach is our favourite little hole-in-the-wall bakery – the Olde Beach Bakery. Its pies are just delicimo! A wide variety of pies that are full of flavour with buttery pastry. Decent size too for the money. Around lunchtime there is usually a queue going outside the door! And the cheese scones are the best I have had anywhere (and I have tried a lot of different ones)!” – Bob Bunch

Owned and operated by George Duncan and Wai Familton, Duncan’s is the result of a 22,000 km road trip circumnavigating the USA, where they drank their way through a multitude of seasonable and sometimes questionable beer offerings. Clearly, a beer obsession was born.
