The Honest Truth

We bake the good, honest way using traditional methods, real ingredients, and tried-and-true recipes passed down generations.

Everything is crafted with passion, patience and baker’s instinct; each delicious item a perfectly imperfect tribute to the hands and heart that created it.

Good in.

Good out.

There comes a point in business,

yours and ours,

when we have to make a call:

Are we going to make it....?

Or

Make it good?

We choose the latter, every time.

You have to put the best in to get the best out so there’s only room for quality, real ingredients in our kitchen, like pure New Zealand butter, all wheat flours, eggs and milk. We care about quality as much as you do and the result is baking that is honestly, so good!

Crafted the artisan way.

For over 10 years, it’s been our greatest pleasure to send damn good baking out into the world.

We are artisans at scale.

You know real baking is where the goodness is. With Good Honest, you’ll never compromise on serving your customers anything but the best again, no matter your supply demands.
Our large team of talented bakers bring their skill to the bakery floor everyday so we can supply hospitality and grocery businesses, and their customers with premium artisan baking.
No matter the order, we deliver the same excellent standard every time, on time and in full. We’re the perfect partner for growing restaurants and cafés building their reputation on serving the best.

However you need it.

For the past decade, we’ve explored and experimented in the kitchen to answer the wide and varied calls of trends and tastes.

Today, we’ve honed a range of artisan baked goods (breads, buns and bagels) and goodies (pastries, slices and scones, muffins and macarons) to satisfy any menu. But like you we’re creative too, so if you have a dream dish that needs something special, we’d love to work with you to adapt an existing recipe or cook up something entirely new.
