Hollywood Bakery seems to be a star studded place. After all, you're in Auckland, New Zealand and…read morethat's a hip place to be. At least I think so. I found myself here at the Hollywood Bakery starving and looking for a quick meal and needed to find something budget friendly and something appealing that was close enough to my location. Bakeries are often a good choice and ended up supporting this small business with picking up a simple sandwich, a brownie, and a bottle of water. In Auckland, New Zealand, it was anything but budget friendly, but it was an option for a meal and that counted for me. With that said, Hollywood Bakery is one of those places you wouldn't find if you aren't looking for but thankfully it was there. Hunger pangs be gone when you are here! While this is a simple bakery manned by a mom and pop operation in the heat of Auckland, New Zealand, I know the owners take great pride in this enterprise. And I myself for finding this store and filling my stomach with food that tasted so good after arriving from Christchurch, NZ earlier in the day. The overall experience here at the Hollywood Bakery was as good as you can get. A simple stop at a simple bakery reminded me the comforts of home in Honolulu. It was nice and the service was nice too. It was basically a self service deal, like many bakeries anywhere in the world., The bakery is self is quite small, and it definitely is clean and very organized. I enjoyed eating my sandwich, brownie, and drinking my water here. It felt almost like eating at someone's home, but not really. Just the ambiance felt like it at the time. The sandwich that I bought was an egg and cheese sandwich, I believe. It was good enough to where I didn't look at the price at all, since I was just so famished from a morning of traveling from Christchurch. The sandwich was good and satisfied my needs. Just something to quell the stomach rumblings and to be able to get to where I needed to go in Auckland. While this small bakery may not be a grand feast, it sure looked like it for me. It was a definitely a godsend when options for a good decent lunch on the go while in Auckland seemed too far out of reach. Thankful for Hollywood Bakery. Hollywood Bakery is located in the heart of downtown Auckland, New Zealand. It's address is 54 High Street in the urban core. They accept major credit cards, which is always great, including international visa too. For the most part though, it was a feast that was magical and simple. Extravagant but budget friendly. For parking options, there is not much in the way of street parking - as a lot of the parking spaces are occupied by everyone else in the city. Best bet is to take uber or public transportation to get yourself here. Probably cheaper to get around and not use petro yourself when you can get a ride cheaper via uber or even walking! Walking is always pretty good and hope that there are parking garages nearby the bakery, so that everyone can get here to get a soul enriching brownie or any other dessert. Lunch or dinner, and even a snack is a good time to come to Hollywood Bakery to feast on deliciousness at your fingertips. If you are in Auckland New Zealand, come on by and sample the good hearty homespun that is Hollywood Bakery. Recommended if you are on the go and in the city. It's a quick meal option that is affordable and will a nice way to help you on your way. The lady at the counter was nice and friendly. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the service and the food was good. Simple and delicious. Support local! B

I had read a few reviews about this new bakery opening up on Clonbern Road. This was quite…read moreexciting as it is only a 20 minute walk from my house and right across the road from the New World supermarket (which I sometimes go to). My sister and I decided to try it out 4&20 three Sunday's ago. It was Father's Day and my Dad loves croissants. We bought three almond croissants priced at $4.80 each - a little on the expensive side. My Dad, two sisters and I agreed that they were just too buttery and very rich (luckily I just had half!). Aside from croissants, they also sell brownies, 'morning buns' and a range of loaves. I could not believe the when I saw the price of the loaves - $12 each! I did read somewhere that 4&20 kneads every loaf by hand and they are then baked in their specially designed oven, which took six months to arrive here from France. They also use organic flour and free range ingredients in all their baking. I guess that explains the expensive prices. Maybe one day I will try a loaf, but in the meantime I'll keep buying my bread and pastries from the La Cigale Market at half the price...

If you choose to sit outside (and I really prefer it), they have fleece blankets to ward off the cold. So cute! There is free wifi, the coffees are really good, and they have a $6 coffee & slice deal. I just tried their waffles for the first time this weekend, and they were so, so good. But very large, so I'd suggest sharing! The waitresses are always lovely and friendly, and they're always playing piano versions of anime songs, which is an adorable quirk. Few things make me happier than good coffee, sweet treats and listening to the My Neighbour Totoro theme song!

The internet is fast and works well outside in the courtyard, which is a nice place to sit on a good day (can be a bit breezy though). Good strong hot coffee is on offer, and also a moderately-priced lunch menu available. I didn't get any food, but the girls next to me got a waffle with a huge amount of whipped cream on it with berry sauce, which made me get quite substantial food envy. Nice chilled acoustic music plays in the background, and is quite audible outside as there is an outside speaker. When it is too sunny or raining, they put up a cover over the courtyard, so you can still enjoy your coffee in the atmospheric, cobblestoned space outside without getting too hot or rained on.

The ambiance was vibey and loved that I was sitting outside, but still covered from the sun. The waiters were so nice and were able to answer any questions I had.

They definitely do eggs benedict different but it was still so tasty. Instead of the usual english muffin, they used an herb rostis, which is a crispy hash brown round. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The herb rostis was also crispy and paired well with the creamy poached eggs!
