5. The Bearded Baker
- Where: 46 Rodney Street
- New Town is architecturally stunning and is full of wonderful cafes, we think you’ll love staying here: 88/(TFR) St Stephen Street
The Bearded Baker started off by supplying wholesale bagels to many of the city’s best cafes, and when the opportunity arose to turn The Bearded Baker into a cafe, they jumped at the opportunity! We’re so glad they did as the cafe is a gem, and most importantly they also serve up a fabulous range of delectable doughnuts.
