Shelly Bay Baker
About the Business
Welcome to Shelly Bay Baker, located at 133A Park Road in Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand. Founded by the talented chef, Sam Forbes, in 2017, our bakery is dedicated to producing the tastiest and healthiest bread on the planet.
Originally starting in a small bakery in Shelly Bay, we have now expanded to our new facility on Park Road, which includes a bakery, a flour mill, and a small retail shop. In 2023, we also opened Shelly Bay Baker on Leeds Street, where you can find our full range of baked goods, along with delicious food to go and amazing coffee.
At Shelly Bay Baker, we believe in the power of real bread and its ability to nourish and satisfy. That's why we use natural ingredients and natural levains (ferments) to create unique and delicious sourdough breads, bagels, baguettes, and more.
One of the keys to our exceptional bread is the fresh stoneground flour provided by Capital Millers. We source organic New Zealand whole grains and mill them in-house, ensuring that our breads have a terrific flavor and aroma. You can also purchase this flour in our bakery shop or through Capital Millers across New Zealand.
Our menu features a wide range of sourdough breads, bagels, and loaves, all baked fresh every day. If you've never experienced the taste of real sourdough before, you're in for a treat.
We are constantly experimenting, learning, and testing new ideas for bread, so whether you're looking for something interesting or simply want to enjoy some real, good bread, we invite you to visit our bakery shop.
Our opening hours at Shelly Bay Baker on Park Road are Monday to Friday, 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Saturday 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. At Shelly Bay Baker on Leeds Street, we are open Tuesday to Friday, 8:00 am to 2:30 pm, Saturday 8:00 am to 2:30 pm, and Sunday 9:00 am to 2:30 pm.
Since 2017, we have been dedicated to baking organic sourdough bread and other goodies made with fresh stoneground flour and lots of love. Come and taste our real, good bread and experience the difference for yourself.

Reviews
"Still miss Leeds St Bakery. The Shelly Bay wholegrain loaf has far too many seeds on the outside, not enough on the inside. I'm working my way through all the different types of bread to work out what will be my new favourite. Still, really like the new setup. Keep up the good work. Many thanks.❤"
"Shelley Bay Baker makes some of the very best bread in Wellington. They deliver too! And they also provide the best organically, locally-grown flour in NZ. I don't know what I'd bake with if they weren't in business."
"Probably the best bagels in Wellington, large and chewy. Much more like a traditional bagel than those sold by Ugly Bagels of Holy Bagels (I don't count supermarket ones which are pretty underwhelming and have textures more like buns than a traditional chewy bagel). I have only bought them from the Lower Hutt farmer's market and have not been to the bakery. 4/5 because of their cost. $3.5 each is expensive compared to the competition and at that price I really have to limit my purchases. $3 would be a fairer price IMHO and say 4 for $11"
"Best bakery in Wellington for homegrown products In the middle of an industrial area with limited parking A must!"
"This is one of the best bakery I have ever tried in Wellington. My partner and I love to go there and try new breads. Sandwiches are also very fresh and yum, which is really good for my partner’s lunch box or weekend brunch. Staffs are very friendly, helpful and I do like this local bakery nearby my home. Highly recommended! I wanna try all different breads someday. Very happy I found such a nice and lovely place I can get fresh breads. (To be honest, I don’t enjoy bread a lot or everyday, but this place is exceptional and I love Shelly bay baker’s breads.) Thanks Shelly bay baker! ;)"
