Akeke Trading Store (Mangaia Giant Donut)
Akeke Trading
One of the island’s few grocery stores. Its homemade giant ring donuts are a well-known Mangaia treat.
Akeke Trading is one of only a few grocery stores on Mangaia. It is on Te Makate Road in Oneroa on the west side of the island, turning right after the “cutting” section. Most shops on the island stock canned and frozen food with few fresh items, so this store’s homemade baking is the exception. Every other morning (except Sundays), it bakes about 130 giant ring donuts at about NZ$1 each. They are popular with local children and visitors, and some guesthouses serve them at breakfast. Quantities are limited, so go early if you want one. There is no seating; takeaway only.
Opening hours
Mon–Sat 8:00–20:00; donuts baked every other morning; closed Sundays
