The German baker at Devonport Farmers Market

Sundays at the Devonport Ferry Building

On the way down to Cheltenham from Takapuna flea market we saw a big sign telling us the Devonport Farmers Market was on. So we delayed Cheltenham and headed down Victoria Street instead.

We had heard not great things about the Devonport Farmers market but it seemed perfectly good to us. Although we do prefer our markets outdoors.I had the best ever pastry from here - I’ve no idea what it was called, but the first taste was custard, then salt, then ricotta and then lemon. I’m going back next week just to get another one

Their Nüssecken may not have been triangular but they tasted better than right as did Kevin’s delicate ginger cake thinly coated in dark chocolate.

We forgot to get their details but think they originate from the Bays. But never mind as we know where they’ll be next week and then we’ll find out who these amazing food pixies are. And we’ll go early. They might just have some Bienenstich!
