fergbaker

we ordered a vegetable pie and a beef and blue cheese pie 🥧 with a side of cream donut. my vegetable pie are just alright, because it’s just warm inside not hot. but my partner really enjoys his beef pie and cream donut. so 3 stars ⭐️

the ferg chain has expanded out to a bakery which is next to its most famous sibling, the fergburger.

fergbaker serves freshly baked pies, breads and a variety of sweet pastries and treats.
we came here for lunch and couldn’t resist getting one of the pies. i had the lamb pie which was amazing. the pie had tender lamb shank chunks in tasty gravy. the pie pastry was extremely light and didn’t feel heavy at all.

we were also tempted to try the sausage roll, there were no regrets ordering this. the meat filling was a mixture of pork belly and mince and was well seasoned with fennel seeds.

and we enjoyed the bakery so much we cam back a second day for lunch. i really wanted to try one of their specials. chicken pie with mustard, cheese and chardonnay. i don’t normally order chicken pies but this one i had no regrets. it was a beautiful, creamy filled pie which was so comforting to eat. again, the pastry was crispy, light and flakey.

the queue to fergbaker isn’t nearly as long as the fergburger queue and i think the pastries here at just as good as the burgers. the bakery surely gets the overflow of the burger clientele who are too hungry to wait. with pastries this good, there is no disappointment there.

best pies i've ever had. like many i saw the queue at fergburger and couldn't be bothered waiting so decided to venture into the bakery next door. i'm glad i did. had a lamb shank pie and loved it. next day had to go back and try another so got the chicken and bacon pie. just as good if not better. definitely need to go back to this place again.

went next door to fergbaker after having ice cream.

excellent service, at both places. there were an array of goodies displayed.

had the apple pie which was outstanding.
@geeta
the muffins were soft and the berries gave that wee bit of a contrast in the flavours.

the gingerbread man looked so edible that even though we were stuffed we had to have one.

it is a part of the popular and legendary ferg nation in the queenstown city.

serving vast and fine varieties of french, italian, german and new zealand's popular bakeries and patisseries. including both savory and sweet delicacies.

we grabbed few scones and croissants for snacking.

it is quite a popular and busy bakery too. so be prepared for a wait or perhaps prolonged wait.

probably the best pie i've ever had, i got the ferg steak and cheese, i should've bought 2 more. definitely a place to check out when in queenstown

another must stop in queenstown. right next to ferg burger - cannot be missed. food all looks amazing. definitely going to return again to try even more food!!

have been here numerous times and tried many different pies. pork belly new recipe and the old recipe that contained apple cider gravy, steak pie, thai chicken curry, as well as the boston cream donut. all have always been so awesome and bringing me back morning after morning, even having three pies for dinner once! i have had the coffee here twice, first time was a large and it amazing. second time was a small, and significantly less strong and too milky. for perfect espresso balance, definitely get a large. the pies are always perfectly flaky and buttery and the meats inside perfectly tender and not chewy. always super delicious every time.

i wish there was more than a rating of 5 to give this place. hands down best bakery. the cabinets, counter and pie warmers and stocked to the brim with breads, pastries, pies, sandwiches, eclairs, donuts, everything you could possibly want. fergbaker became my regular while staying in queenstown. pain au chocolat or a croissant for breakfast. the baguette sandwiches toasted for lunch, or maybe a gourmet pie. a sneaky eclair or vanilla slice for afternoon tea. and a loaf of bread or the mini buns for dinner. the boston cream donut, they say it's famous, and with a taste like that i can see why, i wish i bought a dozen to talk home.

so good. if you love your pies and pastries then you can't go far wrong. fergs used to be all about the burger and although they still queue out the door this has overtaken as my face fergs branch.

we tried 3 pies- mince cheese, beef cheeks and fergs. all so good. washed down with the best hot chocolate ever. deadly stuff.

amazing its always open convenient place to eat in the mornings. the atmosphere is amazing and the staff are so lovely. one of the best bakery's i've been to. i love the fergbakery, ferg gelato and the fergsburger shops there all amazing

amazing ferg and cheese pie 😋
it was crispy on the top and tender as meat with cheese. super flavourful.
have to mention the almond croissants
10/10 for quality and taste

this bakery is amazing!!! all the pastries were top notch and reminds me of french bakeries. i tried the pain au chocolat, roasted pumpkin savoury danish and almond croissant and all were absolutely delicious. i'd love to come back to try the other things especially the sandwiches and pies. ferg burger next door is a bit overrated but ferg baker is definitely underrated.

edit:
came back to try the chicken & mushroom pie, cheese & bacon scone, chorizo pizza, roasted cauliflower, pumpkin and buffalo mozzarella baguette, and the famed boston cream donut. loved them all but don't think the boston cream donut is worth the hype but that may be because i'm not a big fan of donuts and way too much cream inside, and i prefer pastries and sandwiches.

i don't need another cream donut, pie, or croissant again in my life.
- boston cream donut: bought this 4 days in a row.
- blue cheese, steak, pepper pie: the pastry is buttery, fresh, and soft. the steak is chunky and tender. lots of pepper, lots of blue cheese. the flavours came together very well.
- croissant with butter: you don't need to get the butter, it's just normal butter. however, the croissant, especially toasted, is the consistency of a soft pillow of hot butter, amazing. i recommend halving, toasting, buttering, then sprinkling it with rock salt and coarsely ground pepper.

chocolate eclair was too rich & needed cream!
prices are gourmet but worth it!
steak & cheese $7.20 (great!)
lamb shank $7.20 (great!)
mince & cheese $6.80 (was too salty!)
venison $7.20 (awesome!)
