Truffle season has arrived at Romeo, and we’re making the most of it.

If you missed our truffle focaccia and truffle sticks last Saturday, don’t worry! They’ll be back this Saturday, fresh from the oven.

Made with our slow-fermented organic dough and available for a limited time! See you this weekend 🤎

A little detail we’ve been so excited to share…Our new handmade ceramic coffee cups have arrived! Crafted by the talented studio.maartje , they’re made in our two coffee sizes: Small (6oz) and Regular (8oz), and each one is individually handmade.

While there are a few beautiful glaze colours to choose from, the deep maroon glaze was created exclusively for Romeo, inspired by our brand colours. We love seeing it alongside the rest of the collection.

To celebrate their arrival, if you buy a cup you get a free coffee!

Supporting local makers has always been important to us, and we’re so proud to have these beautiful cups become part of the Romeo experience.

Which colour would you choose?

Shelves are full of bread today because tomorrow we are closed for Matariki.

Come by for a coffee and pastry too, it’s warm inside 🤍

Truffle season has arrived, and we’re pretty excited!!

This is the first time we’ve ever created something with truffle at the bakery. We’ve always been huge fans of this incredible ingredient, and this year we finally decided it was time to give it the spotlight it deserves.

Di has been working away on two special creations—one bread, one pastry—both launching this Saturday for a limited time.

Any guesses what they might be?

Just a little reminder that we’re OPEN today!

While we were away, we closed on Mondays to give our wonderful team an extra day off. Now that we’re back, we’re back to our regular schedule too!

Pop in and say hi! 🤍

02/07/2026

We’re back! 🤍

What a sensational holiday. Being able to truly switch off, soak up family time, and make memories together was only possible because our incredible team kept everything running so beautifully while we were away. We couldn’t be more grateful.

As amazing as travelling is, there’s nothing quite like coming home, especially when home is somewhere as special as Ōrewa!

Pop in and say hi to Di today, and I’ll be back behind the counter tomorrow. We can’t wait to see all your familiar faces again!

Proof that a great sandwich starts with great bread.

This beauty was made and shared by Tahlia using our olive Twist. Who’s hungry????

Some flavours have a way of bringing comfort, and cinnamon is one of them 🤍

We use Ceylon cinnamon for its softer, more floral character, creating a beautiful balance with our lemon custard and slow-cooked apples.

A familiar classic, made with a little extra care.

A little upgrade 🤍

After months of trying to find the right sizes, hand-stamping every bag one by one, and learning what works (and what doesn’t), we decided it was time to create packaging that feels truly like us.

Our new custom packaging is simple, thoughtful, and made to reflect the care that goes into everything we bake. From our organic sourdough to our pastries, every detail matters to us… and now the packaging tells that story too.

We hope you love it as much as we do!

A big congratulations to our friends at 𝗙𝗜𝗡 Fish Butchery and Seafood | Ōrewa on the opening of their fish & chips shop! 🎣🐟

We’ve always loved pairing our sourdough with their incredible seafood, whether it’s a smoked salmon focaccia sandwich, our pane rustico topped with salmon rillette, or ciabatta with fresh ika mata. And now, you have the option to get our sourdough burger bun when you order their burger.

Nothing makes us happier than seeing great local businesses come together. We’re so excited for this next chapter and can’t wait for everyone to try these delicious combinations.

Behind every great drink is a great producer.

We’re lucky to work with some incredible New Zealand suppliers who help us fill your cups every day:

🍵 Matcha from matcha matcha
✨ Turmeric latte from Turbo Tonics - Leigh, NZ
🤎 Chai from Cosset
🫖 Tea from Premium Loose Leaf Tea
☕ The superstar, coffee from Riley - Coffee Roasters

Quality ingredients, made by people who genuinely care about what they do. We think you can taste the difference.

And if you’ve found a favourite, you’ll be happy to know that all of these products are available in our pantry section too. Take home the same matcha, chai, tea, turmeric latte blend, or coffee we use in the bakery and recreate a little bit of your daily ritual at home.

Not your average ciabatta.

Our classic Italian-style ciabatta is naturally leavened with sourdough and made with a very high-hydration dough, giving it a light, airy crumb and incredible flavour.

Because of its moisture content, it doesn’t develop the thick crust of a traditional country/rustic sourdough, and that’s exactly what makes it such a great sandwich bread. Soft enough to bite into, yet sturdy enough to hold all the good stuff.

Available as a loaf, stick, or ciabattina roll.

No, we’re not selling produce 🍋🍅

If you’ve been into the bakery lately, you may have spotted these incredibly realistic candles and done a double take.

They’re made by the talented Kathryn from , whose work is so lifelike that people regularly mistake them for the real thing.

Kathryn and I first met when she attended one of my perfume workshops. (A little-known fact about me: before bakeries and bread, I worked in fashion and also studied perfumery in France and still love creating custom scents whenever I get the chance.)

It’s been so special watching Kathryn grow her business and craft, and we’re thrilled to now stock a selection of her beautiful candles in the bakery.

Have you seen the butter????? I mean!!!

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our bread bring people together.

We were proud to help fuel more than 250 runners at the Global Running Day event, organised by our friends at in collaboration with .aotearoa

Thank you for having us and for sharing these great photos from the morning. What an incredible turnout and a beautiful celebration of community, movement, and connection.
