This is my favourite bakery! They have won awards and are very popular. You need to get in their before 11.30am though, otherwise you might be disappointed. There is also a smaller shop in the main street of Te Awamutu, but this is the main one and has way more choices.

Modern and clean. aprox $4 to wash a small load and $8 for a larger load (you need to bring your own washing powder, or buy some here at a xtra cost). There's medium and large dryers at aprox $3 for 10 minutes. They also have a guy that will transfer your washing from the washing to the dryer and fold for an extra charge. Saves having to sit for near an hour waiting though?
