Behind the Pies at Stone Oven Bakery & Restaurant
A Hokitika favourite for a reason
Our Story
At Stone Oven Bakery & Cafe, we don't just bake; we carry on a West Coast legacy. Originally known as the historic Preston’s Bakery, our roots in Hokitika run deep.
Since 2005, we have called Revell Street home, evolving from a traditional bakehouse into a full-service culinary destination that serves our community from the first light of dawn well into the evening.
