Good to know
A few common questions from our whanau of customers.
Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We're closed Sundays and Mondays; public holiday hours may vary.
Yes — delivery around Porirua ($5–$7), Johnsonville & Newlands ($10), and the rest of Wellington City, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt ($20). Enter your address at checkout to see your fee. Or pick up from 12 The Marlinspike, Whitby, Porirua.
Our donuts are dairy-free. Note any allergies in your order and we'll do our best.
Everything is hand-made to order, so we need at least 24 hours' notice to bake enough — that's why the earliest pickup date is tomorrow. Mainise & Poke aren't part of online ordering: they're made in limited quantities and sold Saturdays only at the Waitangirua Markets, so come see us there early while stock lasts.
In a pinch? Online orders need 24 hours' notice, but if something special pops up — a wedding, a client meeting — send us a message and we'll do our best to help. Urgent orders carry a small 10% extra on the total.
Message us as soon as you can before pickup day and we'll do our best to adjust.
Our family kitchen
Hanis started at our kitchen table — recipes passed from mama to daughter, donuts rolled by little hands, and Mainise stirred to the sound of ukulele. Every order helps keep these recipes alive here in Porirua.
Meitaki ma'ata for supporting our family.

Twenty-five years of Mama Tere
Hanis began with one woman and one recipe. Mama Tere has been making Cook Islands donuts for twenty-five years, and she still makes them the same way — by hand, in small batches, early in the morning.
