Great pies. People travel from miles around to eat their food. Several vegan and veggie options including their award winning vegan pie

Ok coffee. No sweet pastries - Edit
I had a decaff soy flatwhite. The milk tasted like real milk. My friend said it’s not cow milk. I couldn’t tell myself.

Incredible! - Edit
As a vegetarian I tried both the vegetarian and the vegan mince and cheese pie, and the vegan one by far was the best! The cheese was really good and flavoursome, and the mince was divine. Would definitely recommend! Wish they were bigger though

Award winning pies - Edit
Lots of signs saying they won various vegan awards for their pies and custard slice. We were late and they'd sold out of the custard slices )-: but we got the last two vegan mince and cheese pies which were yummy, nice pastry and tasty filling. They also have a curry lentil pie.

Mince & cheese is the winner - Edit
We got one of each of the vegan pie (curried lentils and mince & cheese). They had no vegan sweet options - although they offered some kind of fruit slice that came with honey 🙄 We’ve had better curry pies elsewhere in NZ, but their mince & cheese pie was great!

Great Vegan Pie - Edit
Two vegan pie options: mince and cheese, and lentil. I was worried the cheese would ruin the mince/cheese pie (as vegan cheese often does) and that the mince would be disappointing. I’m glad I tried it, the mince was delicious and the cheese added rather than took away from the flavor. Exceeded expectations!

Tasty pies - Edit
We took a wrong turn when leaving Lake Tekapo, and so glad we did! 2 options of pies. Lentil curry (sweet curry with potatoes and carrots) $8 and mince and cheese (very realistic soy mince and flavoursome) $9.5. Highly recommend stopping here on your way through. Mince & Cheese even won NZ #1 vegan pie 2024! A must try!

kiwi classic! - Edit
they absolutely nail the mince and cheese pie, and are clearly passionate in making a good vegan effort at it. for such a remote option I don’t think a bigger range than there is currently is necessary - it’s a pie shop. if they branched out the vegan options they’d all just be the same “meat” anyway, that’s how the non vegan pies are, though a vegan bacon and egg would be crazy. the pastry is also excellent.

Two Tasty Vegan Pies - Edit
There are two options, curried lentils and vegan mince and cheese. Both were yummy but quite expensive!
Read moreNo other options, was hoping for a hot cross bun or other sweet treat but none were vegan friendly.
Only 3 stars as there is opportunity here to cater more for vegans, especially as it's always busy here so there would be good demand.
Pros: Pastry, Taste
Cons: Price, Limited options

Curried lentil pie was delicious! You can skip the long queue and go to the side window with the ice cream sign and buy pies there too😄

Two Vegan Options - Edit
I didn’t expect the bakehouse to have vegan options, but the curried lentil pie was very delicious and had great flavor. There was one other vegan pie on the menu. They also have non dairy milk options. It would be great if they expand the menu to include more vegan pies or other baked goods.
Read morePros: Curried lentil pie was delicious
Cons: Only two vegan options

Nice pie, wish there were more options - Edit
There is only one vegan option here - curried lentil pie. It’s very nice - the seeds on top really give it a nice boost too. Shame there aren’t more options. I have tried two other flavours in the past (meatballs, and a lentil tomato one), but there only seems to be one vegan option at a time.

Unexpectedly good - Edit
Found a vegan curried lentil pie. Expected it to be a nod to veganism, in a sea of pies, but actually it was really nice. The only thing that would improve it is some wholemeal pastry.

Good pie. Go early. - Edit
Pretty good vegan pie consisting of curries lentils. Had to add some salt to bring out the flavors. There’s not much for vegan options in town so take what you can get. Good coffee with all the usual plant milks, including oat which is not listed on the board but just ask.
Read moreSuper busy place so get there early ish so you don’t miss out like the other reviewer. We were there around 11am and still a half dozen vegan pies left after we ordered ours.
Pros: Good pie, Plant milks
Cons: Busy place , No other vegan options
