Doornuts - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

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.

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!

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.

Great doughnuts, just the right hint of yeast in the dough. They were so kind when we asked if they had cinnamon scrolls which I saw earlier that week, they said they didn't. Later we had one of the staff come out with one on the house! Fresh out of the oven. Great place for a treat

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.
