Our Story.
Welcome to Bakermans of Fendalton an European-inspired family bakery in Christchurch.
Bakermans began with a love story in this very shop, where our journey first started. Years later, we returned as proud owners — Peter and Yvonne Bakermans — bringing new life to a place rich in history and heart.
Today, this much-loved local café continues to blend European charm with warm Kiwi hospitality, offering a welcoming space for the community to gather, connect, and enjoy. In 2024 a new chapter of the Bakermans story, the bakery has been thoughtfully purchased by the next generation — Jordan Bakermans — along with Kelly Schroeder, a treasured family friend and original baker apprentice.
Together, they carry forward the spirit and tradition of Bakermans with fresh energy and the same dedication to quality and care. From classic croquettes and savoury quiches to our famous Dutch apple pie and indulgent chocolate caramel slice, everything is made with love — from our family to yours.
