Y’a Bon French Baker is a modern artisan bakery showcasing the best of Hawkes Bay living through a French lens. Their aesthetic style reflects the way they work and live and the things that are important to them: simplicity, quality and community. Huge glass windows frame the bakery work space allowing views of bakers in action from the adjoining cafe, Cupple, run by local coffee roasters First Hand Coffee. Their small deli section is the place to go if entertaining, gifting or just for the love of good food.
They have an interesting selection of their favourite imported French cheeses, local artisan food products including Pinxto chorizo and of course the Bay's best Sourdough. Fresh baked pastries, excellent espresso and the best of local products all in one stylish location. Moïse has supported the Association for quite some time now and we know Y'a Bon bread and pastries are also available in many other locations from Napier to Central Hawkes Bay. |
