Growing up in Wanaka was an amazing experience, and the Doughbin was one of the constants of the town.
An iconic bakery, serving up hot and fresh fare on a daily basis. Countless weekends where we would call in here after a game of rugby for a pie and a cream doughnut.
Well.... 40 years later and the doughbin is still the best bakery in town.
Visiting Wanaka for my mums birthday, we decided to pop into town for lunch.
The display was packed with fresh produce, and was a delight to see.
I chose the classic mince pie and of course a cream doughnut.
We also ordered a steak and cheese and a lamb and mint pie.
The pastry had changed slightly (to be expected after such a long time) but I think this was for the better. Light and flakey, it certainly provided a good flavour base for the pie fillings.
The surprise favourite pie was the lamb and mint, with everybody demanding another bite!
The highlight, as expected, was the doughnut. Oh, and the friendly sparrows, always present as they know good food when they see it!
All in all, a fantastic lunch in an incredible setting. Grab a pie, go and sit at the lake and let all of your worries fade away.

We went to pick up pie before a hike. (8am) The display was being stocked and was almost full, so it was fresh pastry. My wife got the Tika and I got the Lamb and mint. The pastry was great! Flakey but didn't disintegrate when you take a bite. The Lamb was solid with the gravy being almost vinegary and the mint was on the back end which is nice it wasn't in you face. The Tika was good, not overpowering curry, very umami. It was so good that we went back for sausage rolls. Best rolls I have had in NZ. Side comment, if you get there early enough you can grab discount pastry. $4 for some donuts is a steal. Super friendly staff, and a clean shop right on the water front.

Real good pies you can get while in Wanaka, it says award winning, many varieties to choose but I always like the beef mince and it came out salty and sausage roll was okay. The staff were lovely and smiling.

Must visit. Pies are so yummy and affordable. Staff were friendly fast and efficient. Store was clean and tidy so much so we decided to sit in store and have our food. Our little girl lived her gingerbread man. We will be back next time in wanaka from the north island.

Very good pies. Some of the best in NZ. Yummy deserts too. A couple of vegetarian options, but I wish there were more. No Vegan options. A must stop when visiting. Even if you eat elsewhere, get something from here for the road!

A great place for dessert. If u are a fan of Doughnuts n don’t like oversweet doughnuts such as Krispy Kreme. Give it a try here. U won’t be regret. Their doughnuts are great like long cream doughnuts. Creams are manmade so creamy n tasty. Omg. Pie also great to try. Their panini tend to be little dry n coffee is too milky or star ranking will be higher.

Had multiple visits over a week long trip and certainly the 'go-to' bakery in town and a constant flow of traffic and business. Some great quality pies, rolls and all sorts things. I didnt find the cakes amazing but the place overall hums. Worth a stop in.

The pies were delicious! The crust were just nice and the fillings were generous. There were many varieties and our favorite was butter chicken pie. We bought it on all 3 days which we were in Wanaka. A little sad that we would not be able to eat it again. The best pie I have eaten!

Delicious pies, there are plenty of options and two vegan options. The vegan vegetable cashew curry was really good even for someone who don’t like curry like me, unfortunately was too hungry so no picture 😉
