Located in the corner shops of Claude Road and Alfriston Road, it's quite easy to find if you know the area, or even if you don't know the area you can't miss the little block of shops where it's located. They have a large selection of your traditional sweets you would find in a bakery, the likes of lolly cake and custard squares, also homemade pies and fresh filled roles and sandwiches. We ended up getting the chicken avocado filled roles. You can't really go past a good old chicken and avo role. This meal was enjoyable and I would go back if I needed something quick and easy when in the area. However as mentioned above, this is your standard bakery. I personally didn't think there was anything unique that stood them apart from other bakeries.

The Alfriston Road Bakery is just awesome. It's very small so if its busy when you're there it gets…read morecrowded wen theres five customers there. However, that's just a minor detail- this is an excellent local bakery. They do tasty ham and cheese pizza buns that are always a must when I go there and their lamingtons are quality. Their pies are the icing on top though. I don't have pies often but if i do this is one place I'd try and get to. Whether its mince and cheese (my favourite) or bacon and egg, the pastry is always great and the filling is even better! Their pies run out fast during weekdays so expect disappointment if you're heading there in the afternoon! The bread they do here is well-priced and they do your usual french sticks and bread loaves. The family that runs this place is always friendly and its always good to see smiling faces when picking up a sweet snack or a quick breakfast bite here.

Whilst there's lots of the same stalls at all three markets, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others, and that's purely because of its location: pushed into a far corner of the carpark, on humid summer nights it's pretty tough going there without any ventilation, natural light or through breeze! It would be great to lose some of the carparks and move the whole market over towards the entrance so that at least some air can circulate. Saying that, the food is good, as you'd expect, and the night I went there was a cover band playing mostly blues tunes, which was a good addition to the experience.

Even though I'm a local I still find it odd to find this little gem in the middle of nowhere. The food is great, very generous portion. So be careful when you order the big breakfast = literally big. The staff are friendly and you get to see all the cooking going on with the open setting. One of the best local cafe in new Lynn.

If there is one thing all dentists hate in the world.. It would have to be sugar!…read more But thankfully, I only have to see mine once a year and spend the next hour getting dressed down for not brushing properly or flossing incorrectly, and that I should lay off the sugary drinks.. Then charges me a $150 to prove his point. The Sugar Shed in Pukekohe, will do nothing to help my dentist along with his preaching.. in fact I might even be a regular! Sorry Mr Dentist, but Sugar is too good to pass up. A recently new addition to Pukekohe located by the old library behind the BNZ, the Sugar Shed is a little boys dream and a big kids heaven. There are deserts galore on offer. The menu on offer is quite impressive and has a good coffee list to match. The decor matches their theme of being in a shed. The staff there are warm & friendly and provided me with lots of recommendations. I decided to stick with the Mars Bar Cheese Cake & an Iced Coffee..Yes summer maybe over but it is still pretty humid outside. The cake it self looked impressive on its own and tasted just the same, right to the very end. The Iced Coffee very well made & not put together like other places, where it's just coffee & milk with lots of ice & then charge you six dollars. What I found more warming and surprising was being offer the rest of the mix in the shaker as there was only a "little bit left over". This little bit left over turned out to be 3/4 full of another glass! so in fact i was given nearly two iced coffees for the price of one!. Clearly the staff here know a thing or two about customer service & keeping customers coming back. I guess they would have too, they are locked in a battle with Mr Dentist and he would love it nothing more for them to pack up and head out-of-town... *sigh* That's his job, although we may not like it, I still respect him for it. I find it hard to find fault here, with what the Sugar Shed have produced here, Good Food matched with Good Coffee & great customer service. I'll be seeing you soon, right after my next dental check up ;-) Food 4/5 - Excellent - Service 5/5 - Warming & Friendly Atmosphere -3.5/5 - A shed it is Overall 4/5 - A Dentists worse Nightmare, but all my dreams combined.
