The Ferg strikes again... with some renowned, memorable meat pies! An added bonus for an always easy-going line with the ability to pop in either in the morning or afternoon for a quick fuel and/ or re-fuel. Pies are at 8.90 NZD. A well-balanced pie with an even 50:50 ratio between the puff pastry lid and base. Their pies be more flakey and soft, none too crusty, and with ultra tasty fillings. The puff lid was delightfully layered and just melted in your mouth. The boy felt inclined to stop here twice in one day so I'd reckon it was a hit! read more

Love that Fergbaker is open late and the meatpies and almond croissant was delicious. We got a steak and cheese meatpie while waiting in line for Fergbaker and it was worth it. Service is quick and compared to Fergburger, there was rarely a line. Also limited seating since it's the same block as Fergburger, Mrs. ferg and FergBar. read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4.3/5 Value: 4.5/5 A fantastic spot for any of your bakery needs. I personally had the Ferg pie, sausage roll, raspberry cheesecake, and their famous Boston cream donut. Honestly the Boston cream donut, but it was my least preferred out of everything I ordered. Part of the reason is that everything else was just incredibly delicious. Pick something you think looks/sounds good, and you won't be disappointed! There's no place to sit down in the bakery, so would recommend getting the food and popping by lakeside to enjoy the views if weather permits. read more

Since I was on vacation I just needed something quick to get for breakfast. This was one of the only places open so early so I went in to get something. The first time I went in, I ordered some sort of wrap from the glass display, and then the second time, I got the Beef & Cheese Pie ($8.60NZD). Both of the items that I got were really good. The croissant was filling and came out super hot. The pies are definitely what you should get from here though. The cheese was still so warm and melty, and the steak pieces are big and chunky. Service is quick and easy. They have most things already prepared so they can just grab it and heat it up if need. If you need to wait for something you just wait at the window outside so that people don't clog up the inside. If you're in town and just want something quick to get, this is definitely the place to go. read more

I practically lived on their quinoa and black bean sandwiches my entire time visiting Queenstown! lol It was incredibly flavorful, hearty, and satisfying. If you're a vegan traveler using Queenstown as a base for long day trips, I highly recommend grabbing a few of these Sammie's to go. They are perfect for taking along on excursions. Be sure to arrive early because the lines get very long and popular items sell out quickly. Even my non-vegan relatives were obsessed with the pastries, so it is truly a spot where everyone can find something to love. read more

Fergbaker's pies were some of the best on my trip to South Island. The lamb and chicken bacon pies were delicious and flaky, and surprisingly reasonably priced given the location. We stood in line for about 5 minutes, received our order right away, then finished our pies at the tables outside while watching the huge, hungry line at Fergburger next door creep slowly inward. The big letdown was the lack of apple pies in the morning. I specifically came to Queenstown Central for an apple pie at Fergbaker, before leaving Otago. The apple pies weren't available in the morning, and I only found this out from them as I put in my order. This information was not on the website nor on signage anywhere inside. I opted for the lemon meringue pie as an alternative, which was good, but did not completely outshine the feeling of disappointment about the unavailable apple pies. Parking was tough to find. We found a spot in one of the garages nearby, rather than circling around for street parking. It is a lot of hassle to get into the area to this bakery. I recommend only visiting in the afternoon and if there are other activities planned near Queenstown Central. read more

This was an unexpected surprise! Really came for the burger next door but stopped in while we waited for the food to be ready. They have a selection of pastries but what caught my eye was the meat pies. I ordered the steak and instantly deleted it. Sooooo tasty! I ordered another one it was that good. Highly recommended and to be honest, I thought it was as good, if not better than the burger next door lol. I'm here for a few more days and will be back before I go :) read more

We went to this place everyday when we were in Queenstown. That's like 4x at least. I just love meat pies. My fave was the lamb pie, but the other ones are good too, the classic beef. Their pastries are good too! Boston kreme donut, croissant, brownie. Also tried their sandwich to go for our dinner Day 1 of Milford Track. Best decision ever. Service is fast. No seating inside the shop. So take it to go and either eat it outside on the bench or take it to the beach and enjoy the amazing Mountain View. I still dream about this place and had craving for the meat pies. read more

Forget the insane tourist lines of Fergburger...it is okay but...an hour for a basic burger???? Nah. Grab a pastry or meat pie next door and Fergbaker......walk down to Atlas pub and fetch a pint sit outside and enjoy the lake views. I had one of their legendary Boston cream donut....it is legendary. The cream is so fresh it is shocking. My pie was good...but there are better out there. read more

Hectic. I walked by several times in the afternoon and evening, and usually there was a line blocking the entrance for Fergburger next door. When I tried ordering, there's no sense of order; it's get someone's attention whether you were ahead of a group or not and order. I only got two items: * Lamb pie: flaky crust, good amount of meat chunks in the filling. Recommend * Garlic & Parmesan Focaccia, small: hard skip. Was hard, and dry even when heated. The bread itself doesn't taste good. Maybe they have a few other good items but I got the impression to come for the pies. read more

Pretty decent pies next to the (in)famous Fergburger. Really quick even when there's a bit of a line - lots of flavors to choose from, both traditional and fancy. I've tried the: - lamb & kumara: could do with more flavor - chicken jalfrezi: juicy chicken, amazing flavor with a kick, likely the best flavor I had in all of NZ - Ferg pie: decent but could do with more flavor - steak, blue cheese, mushroom: more mushrooms and blue cheese please! The cheese seemed to be unevenly spread, and the flavor wasn't all there If I've only had the jalfrezi, I might give this place 5 stars, but all of the other ones weren't great in flavor so I don't feel justified in giving that rating. Also, pies are on the expensive side and credit card usage incurs a fee (although most establishments in NZ do this). read more

Ever since I've been in New Zealand, I gained a new appreciation of pastries, pastries with meat in them. However, the CHILI AND CHEESE meat pie met and EXCEEDED my expectations. I am sad it is gone now, but I am happy I can go back tomorrow. I'd be here every day if I lived here. read more

The reason Fergburger is so delicious is because they bake their own buns in-house! And while I think Fergburger is overhyped, Fergbaker is UNDERhyped and overly delicious. If you do NOTHING else in Queenstown, get yourself a creme filled donut here. Grab one for yourself - and maybe another pastry or hand pie, while you wait in line for that burger. Then eat the burger, realize the donut was wayyyy better, and go back next door for another donut :) The shop itself smells amazing, service is great, and it's clearly a Queenstown staple for locals and tourists alike. Truly - one of the top food items we ate during our whole trip! read more

Soooo yummy. They have 3 vegan options- the sprinkle donut, an olive foccacia, and a black bean quinoa baguette. I tried the donut and the sandwich, both of which were absolutely delicious. I got the sandwich freshly toasted and the bread was heavenly. The vegan items are not labelled but the staff know what is vegan. The Fergburger line usually extends past the bakery so it looks really crowded, but the line inside is actually pretty short. read more

Fergburger is a Queenstown classic, but Fergbaker, right next door, deserves equal attention. I tried the chicken curry pie, and it was fantastic. The crust was perfectly flaky, giving way to a creamy, flavorful filling with tender chicken and just the right spice kick. The balance of curry spices made it rich without being overwhelming, leaving a warm, satisfying taste. Fergbaker's pies are a great alternative to the famous burgers, especially if you're craving something savory on the go. If you're visiting Queenstown, both Fergburger and Fergbaker are worth the stop--don't miss this hidden gem! read more

OMG. All I can say is go here!!! Just like their amazing, iconic burger counterpart restaurant, you cannot go wrong with anything they are selling at Fergbaker. The unassumming Boston Creme Donut is not to be missed. They absolutely stuff these fluffy donuts with freshly whipped vanilla creme and they are heavenly. I can't rave about these donuts enough. Extremely fast service, almost no line at all, and the bakery is quaint and the piled up breads and pastries are beautiful. The coffee it great as well. So good my husband and I went 40 minutes roundtrip out of our way to get these donuts one last time before we left Queenstown, and we still talk about them. No regrets. Go here!!! read more

I've tried a few meat pies in New Zealand and Fergbaker by far wins out the rest. The Fergpie, which is their signature steak option is a solid choice. I liked it so much, I went back to get another one! My second favorite of the pies was the pork belly--it was so tender and flavorful. So those would be my top two if I had to choose. I also tried their creme filled donut, which was phenominal as well! The cream was fresh with a warm vanilla taste and the donut itself was fluffy, making for the perfect bite. I wish I bought more to take home, but probably wouldn't have survived the flight across the pacific. read more

Absolutely the best meat pies! The outside is fresh and flakey and the inside filling is warm, savory and delicious. Because we came here in winter time for snowboarding, the warm pie was perfect for the cold weather. And they are super affordable, all under $10 and they come out quick! It is a popular eatery for good reasons, so don't be surprised if there is a long line. This place is definitely a must visit during your trip to Queenstown, NZL. read more

The Fergbaker is part of the strip of Ferg businesses. It is super busy and always has a line out out the door, so it is very crowded and hectic inside. When you taste their food, you will understand why. The pastries are nice and flaky and the fillings are very tasty. There isn't anywhere to sit inside, but there are limited outdoor seating or take your yumminess over to the lake and enjoy them lakeside. read more

From this experience, I learned that New Zealand donuts are caky and delicious. I tried their famous crème filled donut, and it was everything I wanted from a donut- plentiful filling and not too sweet. The service staff was friendly and provided my party and I with free crème cheese for our bagels. I can't wait to try a Fergburger. read more

The pies here are SO GOOD! We tried the Bacon and Egg pie as well as the steak pie and they were both spectacular! The egg and bacon was a great one for breakfast and I'd definitely lean towards the steak one for lunch but nonetheless super delicious. They keep the bakery line moving quite quickly compared to the burger line so maybe if you're in a hurry stop in here! Definitely worth the visit. read more

I read, "Queenstown Eats: Famous Fergbaker hot pies to go". I went, "Five hot pies for takeaway please." I review, "Famous Fergbaker, hot pies must visit!" We lucked out, when we decided to visit, as there were no lines- we were able to easily approach the takeaway counter & all the pie styles we wanted were available, easy in&out. In comparison with our hot pie experiences while traveling across the South Island, the pies were well-sized and well-priced- good quality & quantity. We ordered: Ferg Pie (diced in gravy)-Lamb Shank (chunks & gravy) , Lamb Kumara (pulled lamb & veggies), Venison & Portabella (chunks), Mince (ground) My favorite was the classic mince- overstuffed, with ample ground meat, creating a hearty bit, not overwhelmed by sauce-in a perfectly flaky buttery crust Both lamb pies were well-balanced between hearty meat & other ingredients/sauce, letting the meat's freshness flavor shine through, subtle specialty flavor, and denser crust styles on top The Ferg Pie- the gravy took over the flavor profile, barely highlighting a steak flavor The Venison had more portabella than meat, but I liked the profile of the crust top-the way in which they layered the design helped by giving more breading to balance the gravy's richness Overall, they weren't the best pies we had in NZ, but they do make the Top List and are highly worth dining- they offer a great variety of pie flavor combination options- as well as a number of sweet bakery desserts and a few savory bakery specials for the day, along with freshly baked bread. Would visit again to keep comparing menu options read more

Amazing bakery and seems to be quite popular in the area. There was a long line when we came here the first time . Got the chocolate almond croissant and Boston cream bun. Both were extremely delicious. We decided to come here again for the savory pies. Got the mushroom chicken bacon pie and veggie pie. It was like eating a warm delicious soup as a pie . Definitely recommend getting the chocolate almond croissant here , never had this combo before. read more

The best shop in the Ferg family in our opinion! The line at Fergbaker is much smaller than Fergburger and moves very quickly. Skip the line at Fergburger and get a savory pie and the Boston cream donut at Fergbaker instead. We got the pain au chocolat, the Boston Cream donut, the lentil pie, and the danish. Everything was good, but the pain au chocolat and the danish were underwhelming compared to the Boston cream donut and the lentil pie. The Boston cream donut has the most amazing dough texture where it's soft but perfectly chewy. The cream is extremely rich and fluffy and not overly sugary! The lentil pie has the most amazing flakey shell and the inner filling comes hot, fresh, and well flavored. read more

The brownies are OUT OF THIS WORLD. We got one to share and made a point of going back before we left town because it was the best brownie either my husband or I ever had. It wasn't overly sweet but was fudgy yet still very light. We also got fococcia bread, a few pies, and a piece of pizza. I got the ferg pie and it was way, way better than a jimmys pie from a dairy. Way better than I anticipated. Service was quick and efficient. read more

Food was tasty, reasonable and very prompt considering the line of hungry patrons. Atmosphere is pleasant and easy.

PIES!!! I spent 2 weeks in New Zealand eating meat pies throughout my travel. Whether its a warm meat pie, or a fruit pie, Fergbaker is perhaps the best in the world! $7NZ Lamb Meat Pie...larger than the other meat pies I'd previously eaten, and the very best of all them. The pie crust is extra flaky and does an extraordinary job keeping savory succulent lamb chunks and gravy well inside its buttery confines. PERFECTION! $5 Blueberry Pie...this is the best Blueberry Pie on Earth. Its packed with actual sweet blueberries, with very little jam filler. The buttery crust is thick and heavenly. I'm depressed that this perfect pie is 7100 miles away from my home in San Diego. Does Uber Eats deliver to San Diego. These pies are a MUST eat while in Queenstown, cheap and delicious! Unfortunately I never got a chance to try their world famous burgers...next time! read more

Amazing assortment of breads, pastries, and pies, and everything tasted delicious! We stopped by in the afternoon to pick up breakfast for the next day, and enjoyed it so much we came back again.

The hardest decision is actually choosing what to order because there are so many options! read more

After hiking up the Queenstown Hill, we needed food to refuel. We decided to drop by Fergbaker as it looked pretty delicious the day before when we were in line for Fergburger. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 1:00pm). It's busy but people are continuously coming in and out. They've got a ton of things to choose from: pretzels, pies, cookies, croissants, breads, scones, danishes, bagels, baguettes, focaccia, cakes, eclairs, donuts and tarts. For drinks, there's smoothies, juices, coffee and tea. - Venison & portabello mushroom pie ($6.90 NZD) - think this is their most popular pie option. Good filling of venison, onions and portabello mushrooms. The crust was wonderfully flaky and overall, lovely texture. It's the priciest pie we've bought in all of NZ. - Smoked salmon bretzel ($8.90 NZD) - this was a dud. Should have got the mojito chicken sandwich instead. There was only smoked salmon, spinach, capers and cream cheese inside. Really stingy and cheap with the ingredients. Pass on this, especially when you can get a burger next door for a few dollars more. - Ferg's famous boston cream pie ($4.50 NZD) - this lived up to the hype. The filling was superb; it tasted like a lighter version of oreo ice cream. The dough itself had a satisfying bite. Get one! Stick with the sweets and pies and you'll be delighted. Tons of selection and everything is made fresh. read more

While Fergburger next door gets most of the fanfare for the burgers, the bakery next door has some of the best meat pies in town.

Line moves fast and you can take it to eat down by the lake. read more
