Richoux Patisserie

A great place for the vegan pie lover! Richoux serves up a big selection of tasty vegan pies, sweet treats and sandwich options. My favourites include the vegan Creamy Mushroom, vegan Chicken Cranberry, and the vegan sausage roll, with a special sweet favourite for the vegan almond croissants. I tried the vegan Potato Top and Ham and Cheese for the first time today and they were great too. Used to live in the neighbourhood but since moving away, periodically make special trips out to Ellerslie just for their pies.

A definite must visit if you’re craving a tasty vegan pie or treat!

I had a very quick trip to New Zealand last week so naturally I had to eat some pies. I picked out Richoux Patisserie at Ellerslie, Auckland.
They had my favourite flavour at the moment, Brisket, Jalapeno and cheese so that is what I chose.
It was a really nice pie of about average size. Lots of jalapenos and cheese. The brisket and gravy was tasty. The pastry was a good example of a kiwi pie.
I rate it an 8/10.

I ordered a steak, jalapeño and cheese pie, carrot cake and a small flat white.

The pie was delicious. The pastry was flaky and buttery. The filling had some good soft chunks of steak. There was a fair amount of jalapeño and the spiciness built up quite a bit so if you can’t tolerate spicy foods keep this in mind. I personally loved the spiciness and felt it was well balanced and not overpowering and imparted good flavour.

I have previously had the potato top pie: It was one of the best I’ve ever had. Heaps of potato and savoury mince that spilled over when you had a bite. All the while the pastry bottom held its integrity allowing me to eat it by hand.

Carrot cake was moist and absolutely divine. The icing was not too sweet but added a nice counterpart to the moist richness. I could taste the walnuts in the cake itself which added a nice flavour and texture to it as well.

The small double shot flat white was exquisite. Not a lot of bakery’s do good coffee, so I was very happy to have a fantastic coffee too!

Heaps of other options like rolls and sandwiches, which I’m dying to try.

Definitely give it Richoux Patisserie a try, you won’t regret it.

Great pies. Found them on the best pies list. Based on their awards a great OG place to get pies in Auckland. Their taste still holds up today and worth stopping by

My last visit was in 2013… so after a decade thought I’d give them another chance – had the Steak and Cheese and was full of gravy, bugger all steak., just like all those years ago. Pastry was nice, temperature was good.

I ask for the pie in the middle, as the pastry didn’t look as dark brown as the others, the worker threw it on the counter …lol

There’s a way better bakery across the road.
