I grew up in Paraparaumu beach since I was born, but moved to the kenakena area when I was about five. Ever since then I've been absolutely in love with their food, absolutely delicious options outside of lies with their paninis, chicken kebabs, and stuffed sausages. I'll tell you here is the only place I buy pies cause they're that good, they make every other pie taste bland and boring. Staff so amazingly friendly, the place is tastefully decorated and food is always fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend to anybody stopping by in Paraparaumu beach to check this place out!

Visiting from out of town and came across Sunrise Bakery whilst driving around looking for something to eat. Lovely friendly people and their steak/cheese pie and sausage roll were amazing! Pastry was top tier, cute little seating outside, easy parking. Definitely recommend
