💙 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! 💙

To all the dads out there — the new dads, the old hands, the stepdads, grandads, foster dads, dads who’ve stepped up, and the father figures who’ve been there when it mattered most…

Happy Father’s Day! 👏

Whether you’re teaching them how to kick a footy, fixing something that probably didn’t need fixing, telling the same terrible dad jokes, working your arse off for the family, or just being there for the big and little moments — today’s for you. ❤️

And to the dads who aren’t with us anymore, you’re still remembered and missed today. ❤️

From all of us at Bens Buns, we hope you get spoiled, put your feet up, and enjoy a bloody good day with the people you love.

Happy Father’s Day, legends! 🍻🥓🥐

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, and we can’t think of a better reason to spread a little kindness around our local community.

So, with a little help from Bens Buns in Paraparaumu Beach, we’re giving away a morning tea shout to a local workplace, team, school, group… or simply someone you think deserves a treat.

Maybe they’ve had a big few weeks. Maybe they’re always doing things for everyone else. Or maybe you just know a bunch of people who would be VERY happy to see us turn up with morning tea next week. 😍

𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠?
👉Tag the person, workplace, team or group you’d love us to shout morning tea for

We’ll draw one winner at 4pm this Friday, 4 September 2026, then organise the morning tea shout for a day that suits the winner next week.

Because sometimes a little unexpected treat is all it takes to make someone’s day.

Good luck!

This weekends special.. 🍪 🥛

Cookies and cream donuts

🥔 🥧 Creamy fresh mashed potato piped onto a rich gravy mince encased in buttery pastry, what’s not to love.
As you can see we are also team potato when it comes to what the mince to potato ratio should be

Have you had one of our pies recently?

We’re continuously working hard on improving the pastry and fillings.

Our pastry lately has gone through a bit of a change, more of the buttery goodness giving it a softer bite.

And if you have any of our pies with cheese you should have noticed.. we changed the cheese blend as well as adding more then 50% cheese to the pies.

We will never stop trying to improve and get better. I’m a firm believer once you think you’ve perfected something you’ve actually just lost the passion you once had

Let us know your thoughts, your feedback is always so valuable

Almond croissant 🇫🇷 or crookie 🇺🇸

I can’t go past a crookie, the crunchy cookie top, buttery layers of croissant and then the gooey cookie centre just ticks all the boxes of a perfect sweet treat for me.

Today and tomorrow…
Cinnamon danishes.

Cinnamon, brown sugar and lots of butter, spread across our croissant dough, rolled into a scroll, baked with a cream bath, topped with cream cheese icing…. The arteries were clogging just writing that 😅

The nominations for the last morning tea shout were so good, we couldn’t just pick one..
Last week it was The Shed Project Kāpiti, this week Friends of Animal Charities, there’s maybe one more coming next week.
It might not be life changing, but we sure do hope it’s a day changer, as the recipients help change the lives of others.

Yes we’ve just done a morning tea shout but when I got a message to ask if I wanted to do another one, I said “Yea, let’s go!”
It’s the Friends of Animal Charities shop on Maclean Street!
Possibly the most surprised recipient ever “We don’t ever get anything given to us, we give things away” ❤️❤️
I hope you all enjoy that and thanks again to Bens Buns
Look out for when the next is or I could just show up like this 😉

Been a while since we’ve done a morning tea shout.
Thanks to Tee Cameron - Mediaworks, Kapiti/Horowhenua we’ll be whipping something up for him to deliver on Wednesday.
Get your nominations in either on this post or jump onto his page
Have a great weekend

It’s time for another one, I think.
The Bens Buns morning tea shout is back and I’ll deliver it on Wednesday to a very deserving business or organisation. Who will that be?
Help us out, drop a comment with the deserving business you think should win and you never know! 😊😊
