👍👍 Just stumbled across this place after following a sign trail from Shakespeare park for Cornish pasties. It was a real treat, we had a few different things to try, and the coffee was also very good. We will definitely be going back to try more goodies. It’s also on the marina so a lovely view too.... People often mention good, pastry, nice, coffee,

    Charming pastry stop passionately baking top notch pork pies, pasties & Scotch eggs - UK style. 🥧🇬🇧 They are very good - but for someone who has travelled across Cornwall taste testing - the pasty pastry is a little thick. Best in this hemisphere though I’m sure! There is lovely outdoor seating and incredible staff. There are no dairy free food options sadly - but you gotta use legit ingredients to get legit results.

Thank you for staying open in what must be a very difficult time 👍🏻🍸

    Saw the reviews and decided to give it a go and I’m so glad I did. This has to be pastry in all of Auckland. I had the lamb pie and it was absolutely divine. I would highly recommend to visit when in the area. Keep up the great work guys I’ll be back again soon 😋😋

    If the food was as good as the service then this would be an easy five stars. Sadly the scotch egg was so greasy that it was almost inedible. The pastry on the pork pie was in my opinion far too thick. However the ice cream and coffee were good. Maybe we just got there on a bad day

    Follow the signs for cornish pastriws and be patient. Its almost at the end of the wharf. If you go there you wont miss it. + pastries really good + very good pie (blackberry, they didnt have raspberry at the time) + my gf enjoyed coffee there + lovely lady and staff - a little bit pricey, but worth the money (spent around 36 for two pastries, pie and coffee - dont accept paywave or visa so be prepared ideally with cash or eftpos. A map of all cornish places in New Zealand is really nice touch. Gonna visit some of them for sure! And nice mosquito net at the window preventing insects to fly into your freshly made pastry.

    Having moved from Hobbs Wharf Markets to Gulf Harbour even better to get to 👍 Food is awesome. Sean's Homemade Lemonade is very very nice and a must try along with the Fruit Cake Ice Cream - WOW, Sean has hit that one on the head especially if you're a connoisseur of fruit cake. Sean roasts his own coffee and having tried a long black it was very nice indeed. 👍😀

    We are tasting our way through NZL real fruit ice cream and this one is definitely up there. There is a good range of flavours with some unique creations like caramelised peach, which I haven’t seen anywhere else and would need to try it one day! You can also pick a sauce to go on your ice cream and it comes with a shortbread surprise 😊 – nice touch. We haven’t tried the pies or pastries, but there was a good range with sweet and savoury options all looking appetising. We decided to stop over on our way back from the Shakespear Regional Park. The Kitchen Door is located in a nice spot and while you are indulging in your treat of choice you can check out all the boats in the harbour. The owner is very nice and welcoming, with great stories to tell including his career in London working at The Savoy!!! When you decide to pop over you know you will be in good hands.

    Sorry not impressed with $34.00 for a pasty and cheese & onion pie with 2 drinks. Pastry far to thick with no prices on the menu which is not great, a smile from the lady serving would also be welcomed. Wont be going back.

    We stumbled upon this place when coming to Gulf Harbour for a ride; they truly deserve their place as one of the top 5 Cornish pasties in New Zealand! The pastry is buttery and flavorful, the meat tender and the filling perfectly balanced. Great coffee also, well roasted and full bodied. We have been back three times already and they never fail to deliver; tasty hearty pork pies, yummy Yorkshire pud wraps, and an amazing apple and blackberry pie full of luscious whole pieces of fruit wrapped in delicious shortcrust. It’s now our favourite go to place on the peninsula for a meal out!!

    The Chicken Tikka pasty was very good. The pork pie was inedible, far too salty, pastry so hard I may have cracked a tooth. Just tried to break pastry top but it's like concrete. Peach ice cream, was tasteless, no flavour. Such a waste as this was a treat so $30 of a pensioners money not well spent,
