The six of us ate here for lunch and were surprised at how good the choices and the food were. Little touches such as adding the best chutney I have ever had to a muffin and also the tea was top quality. We would definitely eat here again.

This place is well known for not only its coffee, but it makes some of the best pies in the country. They have won Gold for their vegetarian pie, and others. There are a range of breads available - always interesting and a good buy.

Good selection of food, but if shopping here, you know that you are paying too much for your choice.

Sorry, but any place I visit that charges me $5 for a pie is ripping me off. As a baker by trade, I do know how much is invested in one of these little suckers - and it's not all that much!! Okay, okay, I may be a little stingy. Coming from Auckland (where you can visit a cornershop bakery... More

Jackson's have absolutely awesome pies, plus a large variety of other cabinet food and breads. Always busy, it's a great place to meet friends, or to grab a takeaway lunch.

As always, lovely fresh bakery products. Great range - something for everyone. We take away - but can eat in. Everyone has there favourites - from old fashioned buns to new products and gourmet pies. I get hungry just thinking about it.

Set in the center of Havelock Village, Jacksons Bakery and Cafe is both a place to buy breads and cakes to bring home or a place to sit down and have coffee and cake or lunch (although you do have to wait sometimes for a table). They have lots of different breads, including organic breads, pizza bases and rolls, all... More

Something for all tastes, good brunch/lunch venue, pavement seating (minimal seating inside) and yes, as others comment - they have won many pie awards. They also have a great range of breads.
