The Hillcrest Bakery, on Cambridge Rd, between Hillcrest Rd and Masters Ave, is one of a number of identical bakeries around Hamilton. Lots of nice pies, slices, cakes and sandwiches.

CraigBox likes the sausage rolls ($1), but they're not as nice as the Tommo's sausage rolls at the BongoCafe. borland? likes the chicken rolls ($2.20). PhilMurray buys a custard square ($1) and a 300ml Schweppes ginger beer, and only drinks half of it. MattCairns is, of course, a pie afficionado ($1.80), but also likes to buy the pizza bread ($2). MattBrown thinks that the Hot Chips are the best (chicken seasoned). GerwinVanDeSteeg likes the bacon and egg, beef, and ham filled rolls.

You can't go past a ham bun ($1.20).

GerwinVanDeSteeg used to work over the road from this bakery, and he used to eat there everyday (usually whenever he had time).

Their bacon and egg rolls are made with bacon glazed with sugar. It still tastes fine like that, but bacon is supposed to be crusted in salt, or it kills you in the wrong way.
