I'm a big believer that you'll never have a bad day if you start it with coffee and pastries. Or, you will, but at least you'll have had five happy minutes of bliss over breakfast.

Mor Bakery is hands-down one of the top five bakeries in Auckland, and it is how I want to start every morning. There, I said it! The Remuera-based micro bakery specialises in viennoiserie and has nailed quality over quantity. Their flavours are always unique, but the best thing about their business is their owners.

Mor Bakery was founded by two exceptional wāhine (women), Laura and Kelsie. You can tell they've poured their heart and souls into Mor and everything is made with so, so, so much love.
