Lot Nineteen
Cinnamon Buns
Awarded by Jane Atterbury-Leaf
Made and sold at Lot Nineteen on Church Street, Onehunga, these cinnamon buns have become legendary in Onehunga and beyond. They were the first thing that Lot Nineteen sold when they opened, and queues would form every morning - they still do. The buns sell out by 9:30am on most days, even though Rebecca has doubled and then tripled the number she bakes. There are no better, bigger, or more exquisite cinnamon buns in Auckland - Rebecca trained as a patisserie chef, so these buns are next-level. She does various other flavours now but the original cinnamon buns are absolutely iconic. I have met people in the queue who have driven from the North Shore to get them!
