Doornuts

Walked pass the shop after visiting another store up the street and was drawn into the shop by how busy it was. Turns out they were doing a Halloween promo whereby kids can get a face paint and decorate their own donut for $10. Staff were all really friendly and helpful and my child had an awesome experience and they were also very generous with the toppings for the donut. Had a bite of the donut when home and it was very good. The Pie Piper also offers a variety of pies (obviously based on the name) and they looked very nice. We were just abit too full to try more as have already dessert for the day.... The place also offer Atomic coffee which means the quality of coffee should be good. Will come back 1 day to try their other food options and a coffee.

TL:DR - Pie Piper is absolutely amazing, even when things don't always go to plan. Story time, fam. I have been a long-time fanatic of ALL of the Pie Piper's offerings: their chicken and waffles (and American-style biscuits) speak to my Southern Soul food spirit. I was gifted a rainbow birthday cake this year, and their pies completed my Thanksgiving feast last year ( If I love you, I'm probably gonna gift you a pie or doughnut). Consistently amazing food and service, so I sought to recreate last year's memories and make the best out of lockdown during Thanksgiving. Ordered their pies and other specials, so was expecting 2 pies and a (surprise secret) mini pie for partner. Driving from West Auckland to Eastridge, awaiting me was a beautifully wrapped trio of boxes, tied with signature red ribbon. Upon return, I was reminded I had ordered extra pastries (because, of course!) and so...1 pie, 1 mini pie, 1 box of pastries. Missing a pie. My own dumb fault for not checking/ and forgetting I ordered other stuff. Panic ensues because my partner is unable to drive out again from home. I would be stuck at home all day the following day solo-ing the entire Thanksgiving feast...everyone also working from home. I rung, and A ngel (I think?) helped me sort everything, from talking with her managers (after hours, too!), and then confirming with me that they would correct the error and get my pie out to me the very next day. They saved my Thanksgiving. For their superlative products and customer service, they have a life-long promoter in me and my family.

the modern day K Toad vibe mixed with American pies and cuisine. The pies look incredible and the donuts and baking looks divine. We ordered a mixture of pastries and coffees as it was too early for sweet decadence. The coffee making was not speedy. The service was friendly. There were a couple of Uber eats orders going out. I can report the food was fine, fresh and delicious. The reason I made it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the restaurant seating was not ideal, it was noisy as they are baking there. The music also didn’t suit the theme of the place.

Wonderful staff and all the pies and cakes up front makes you drool. However, the chocolate cake I’ve ordered was ... disappointing. It was on a dry side (maybe because it was sitting there for too long), the icing just tasted like fondant. It wasn’t a dense cake or a light fluffy cake, just average tasting. I’ll probably come back for the other dessert, but a slice for $12.5 was honestly not worth it.

Living overseas, I had donuts delivered as a gift for a loved one. Feedback was that all the flavours sent were "SOO good and intricate"! My 5 star review also comes from the fact that a staff member directly emailed me to thank me for my purchase. Customer service is above amazing despite times being really weird right now. Delightful donuts + service! Can't wait to try these myself once borders open up!

Wasn’t super impressed by the donuts, but they certainly were not bad. Flavors are interesting, but the donut itself was a little dry and the banana cream was very artificial tasting. Staff was very friendly and they offer bottomless filter coffee, a hard treat to come by in New Zealand. The cheesecakes looked really nice, although we did not try them. Pricing is pretty expensive ($5/donut). Prolly won’t visit this place regularly, but not upset that I went.

AMAZING DONUTS!! The peanut butter Oreo is definitely my favourite! They have so many different flavours to choose from and they all look and taste amazing! They have everything from your classic chocolate sprinkle donut to more obscure and funky ones like s’mores. AMAZING PIES!! Their cherry is my favourite but I also love their pecan and Nutella pies, so good! A little pricy but definitely worth it for the quality.
