The Venue

Amano Bakery is a bakery that uses authentic, artisanal baking techniques from Europe and showcases them using NZ grains. Each loaf is handcrafted, made fresh every day. Hence, Amano - Inspired by the Italian phrase "by hand". Our emphasis is on sustainable, seasonal, locally-sourced food.
