BurtoNZ Bakery
9076 Brooks Rd S, Windsor, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming Kiwi bakery tucked away in a Windsor shopping center is a devoted following's secret weapon for authentic New Zealand meat pies that locals rave about as the best they've had in America, with flaky, buttery pastry and generous, flavorful fillings that keep people coming back. Beyond the celebrated pies, BurtoNZ turns out excellent sausage rolls, fresh in-house breads, and satisfying sandwiches, all best enjoyed at one of their cozy indoor tables or the little outdoor seating area where you can settle in and savor the genuine hospitality of owners who clearly care. It's the kind of unpretentious neighborhood spot that rewards wandering—part bakery, part gathering place, entirely beloved.”

I'm English and love a meat pie!!! These are hands down the best meat pies I had since I've lived in the US. The pastry and fillings are delicious 😋 😍 👌
We stumbled on this bakery on a road trip. We now stop in as often as possible. I love the sausage roll. it's really full and not too heavy for how full it is. and the party is still flaky! We also grab the "cinnamon roll" and a loaf of bread every time. They are so delightful
Owners, staff, and baked goods are all perfect here. Sandwiches, sweets, and some amazing selections of fresh bread. To top that all off, some of the best meat pies I’ve ever had in my life. My wife also loves the Scotches Eggs when they have them. All around a must find in Windsor. Right next to Safeway.
This is a fabulous bakery. They also sell lots of breads that they make in house. They have some tables inside and some outside, so we ate there. The steak and Duncan‘s mushroom savory pie was fantastic. Nice and hot, flaky crust and great filling. The chocolate lamington pastry was delicious. Maybe we were stuffed by then, but I thought the lemon bar, the light colored fudge and this custard tart thing were just ok. Seemed way too sweet, but maybe we were just so full! We bought a seeded sourdough to take home - it tasted great! Worth a stop!
A little taste of New Zealand! The bakery is a bit hidden but right next to Safeway in the shopping center here. There are a couple of tables and chairs just outside where you can enjoy your baked goods. The pastry is spot on and definitely crafted by a skilled baker! Prices are reasonable too. They didn't make any scotch eggs the day we came so we'll try another day for those. Meat pies are now $9 each but they're very hearty and filling. While I still miss that rich gooey top quality NZ cheese, the pies here are still tasty. Croissants are amazing as well. We got a little bit of everything.. almost. Some of my favorites were the almond croissant, blackberry cheesecake, and lambingtons (especially raspberry). I'm still working through the various flavors of meat pies (bought a few cold ones to warm up at home) so jury's still out on that but I'll update once I figure out my top pies. If you're a meat lover, definitely go for the sausage roll. This is a great little bakery and one of a kind since I've yet to come across a (specifically) NZ bakery here in the Bay Area/surrounding areas. If you're in the area or down for a little drive this is a great spot!
