Darfield Bakery

Spend time here every now and then. I am disabled and use a walking stick or a walker. The staff are helpful and friendly and busy. They carry my coffee and cake plates to my table. I love the beautiful lemon cake with nice coffee. Very nice country atmosphere. As to be expected, there are queues depending on the time of day but that says to how popular they are and how outstanding the food is. I'm happy to wait for my lemon cake and coffee at busy times. Very clean tables and cutlery. Disabled toilet is always clean which is nice as at some places the floor is often dirty and neglected but not here!

Don't be put off by the unassuming frontage, this is a place of great eating! I have a bit of a sweet tooth and love fresh cream so I was in luck! I had the NZ classic Cinnamon Oyster (apparently invented by a Dunedin cook in the 1950s. It was lovely and spongey, the right amount of cinnamon, a light spread of jam that didn't overpower and lashings of fresh and delicious cream. Thank you for bringing this sweet joy to my day brings back happy childhood memories Was a nice seating area, great acoustics, for a big place we could easily hear one another (sometimes big places heaps of noise I'm taking off one star for the coffee, it was ok but we got the large cup and should've asked for an extra shot, the blend was a bit too weak with two shots. But the free little toffee sweet biscuit on the side was yummy!

Great food, great service. Very polite staff and a lovely facility also. Would recommend for a stop, and their pies are also amazing

I’ve been here plenty of times over the last few years. Never disappoints, great pies, sausage rolls, cakes, coffee. Sauce available for customers that are eating in. Dog friendly courtyard. Super friendly staff.

Best bakery shop and food ive experinced on my travels great atmosphere I will be back.
