To walk into Mr T’s is to surrender yourself to the call of its baking, most of which piles up behind the counter: baguettes for their bánh mì, sourdough, croissants, long logs of apple strudel, eclairs, plus some of the best pies in Auckland (the steak and cheese is particularly tasty). If you’re after something more substantial, the Vietnamese side of the menu is where you’ll want to be, even more so if there’s a special on — watch out for warming seasonal bowls of hu tieu bò kho or pho.
