Bakery in Auckland

“Awesome service at this shop ! After a failed attempt at a different shop, came to this dairy and dealt with the most helpful guy behind the counter ! Definitely reliable and trustworthy, and will be using them from now on to send money overseas with their Western Union service available in store ! Highly recommend them”

“Such a lovely spot! I came in to have lunch and get a bit of work done, and I ended up staying longer than planned because I felt so good there. The staff were absolutely adorable, the tea was delicious, and there were plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options. My meal was rich and comforting, and the tart for dessert was amazing, a bit much for just me, but can’t complain about that. I’ll definitely be back, either by myself or with friends! ✨”

“I got a birthday cake for my daughter from JM Cakery recently. I found ordering on the website very easy. The cake looked amazing, just like the photo on the website. It tasted incredible, all our guests loved it. We got a 10-inch floral vintage heart cake and it was the perfect size for 21 people with a generous serving. When we collected the cake we also got some cupcakes and they were delicious. Definitely would order again, highly recommend!”

“Gateau House is a dream for chocolate lovers! Their chocolate cake is rich, moist, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, with a deep cocoa flavour that melts in your mouth. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had. The presentation is beautiful, and the texture is just right—light but indulgent. The store itself is warm and inviting, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Whether it’s for a celebration or a treat-yourself moment, Gateau House delivers every time. I always leave with a smile (and a slice or two!). Highly recommended for premium, delicious desserts”

“Friendly staff, always Plenty to choose from for both sweet and savory tastes. Delicious cabinet food ready to go. This place is always pretty busy, and for good reason. Tables inside and outside available with weather coverage for the damper days. Highly recommend you make the stop if you're in the area. Treat yourself!”

“Awesome food, we had the chicken stack and French toast both were well priced and super tasty. One of the best cafes on the shore. Awesome vegan and vege options and offer a discount if you bring your own cup for takeaways. Decor was slightly aged and could do with a bit of a tickle up but had a nice homely feel and staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.”

“Always service with a smile and a tasty Pie to eat. Really enjoy their gravy too, hard to find a pie with a nice gravy that's also packed with meat. Lovely staff!”

“THIS PLACE! I flew in on Auckland and by accident stumbled on this little gem. I never had carrot cake... Needless to say it was DELICIOUS. Homemade, owner bakes it himself. The atmosphere is also wonderfull. I went around NZ after this first cake... Never had the same taste in my mouth again! Until I visited back when I had to leave NZ... Each bite is perfect! Staff is soo friendly and genuine trying to build something nice up. It's a pity a lot of old reviews are bringing this score down (it was the previous owner), because it deserves a freaking big score ❤️ It is a small caffee, so expect when it's busy some waiting time to get in.”

“Had a mean azz feed here for Brunch, Good classic French Pastries. And of course gotta get the locally loved "Chips". Desserts are to die for, friendly service. Love the decoration of the place”

“We stopped by for muffins and coffee. The cinnamon muffins were huge and very tasty. The proprietor was helpful and made sure we got large muffins since we looked hungry. He’d made them himself that morning. The coffee was good and strong as well. We didn’t grab sandwiches for lunch, but they were on display in the case and looked delicious.”

“Aren't dissapointed about The Gateau House! The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and filled with the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their craft.”

“Lovely food! The wait was ages for a slow morning but to be fair it was with the wait. I got pancakes and they were delicious and filling!”

“Was at Golden Apple Henderson few days ago. Great shopping outlet for Asian groceries with wide variety of goods. Goods were very well stocked and displayed for easy access and the place was very clean and pleasant to shop. Friendly service too. Highly recommended for shoppers who want a happy shopping environment and experience.”

“Lovely bakery! We got fresh breads and a lolly cake! We may have to be back for a pie!”

“Consistently delightful experience! The pastries are divine, the bread is top-notch, and the coffee is excellent. A truly lovely spot for a morning treat or a quick lunch. Highly recommended.”

“Temptation is slightly more pricey than other bakerys. But their food is also slightly better than other bakerys. The potato top pie is to die for, and the customer service is always good. Will be coming back. Also, once I asked them to make a custom steak and cheese potato top, and they did. Pretty cool.”

“Coffee is good here and food! Very friendly service too!”

“I am so grateful for Caroles amazing customer service every time. I come in almost every second day to send things via the post and she is always so lovely and helpful, always willing to go the extra mile and makes posting a whole bunch of things a breeze. Definitely a lovely small town community feel thanks to her.”

“Tried the Bethells and Wigmore burgers from here and enjoyed both. The bun was good quality and burgers decently sized. Only open Thurs - Sat in the evening so make sure to check their opening hours beforehand.”

“Coffee is great and the slices are delicious! I forgot the name of the slice I got but it was soft, moist, not too sweet, rich and went great with my coffee.”

“All the staff are very friendly and welcoming and take their jobs seriously. The place is clean, tidy and has a great atmosphere. I usually eat in the separate area upstairs which is a more quieter , away from the hustle and bustle. Also there is a great little spot for young children to play while you eat. Their french toast dish is presented beautifully and very satisfying as it comes with bacon as well. Our favourite is the potato hash, it's a very generously sized dish with varying textures and tasty complementary flavours. Their blueberry cheesecake is the perfect balance of real fruit, textures and richness and flavour. With amazing customer service to boot - This is a Onehunga Gem!”

“Got a vegan chocolate plum cake. Highly recommend. It was so good with perfect sweetness. Doesn't taste vegan at all. Amazing quality for the price!”

“Handy shop stocked with pretty well most everything. Lovely Indian owners. Lotto onsite. Carparking right outside. Train Station across the road, public Conveniences also on roadside.”

“This place was pretty darn good. Ambiance was nice. Servers were on top of things and the food was delicious. We got avocado toast and fish and chips. Also got a medium size flat white that was quite large. Will definitely return when in town.”

“I stop in here all the time for their elite bacon and egg breakfast wraps. Great coffee, great staff and loads of sweet treats if you’re that way inclined. Highly recommend to all. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“Best Pak n Save branch I've been too. Their bakery is excellent offering fresh cream doughnuts, Leamingtons etc that many other branches are limited on. Also some exclusive bargains here, not available at other stores and a 10 cent discount fuel voucher instead of the usual 6 cents. Well done!”

“I went to Caffe E Cucina for a tinder date (which went pretty well, I think she likes me!) for lunch, and had a great time. We ordered different kinda small plates from the prima section of the menu and shared those which worked well as we weren't super hungry. The service was good, and prices not toooo bad. The food was definitely the highlight (after the company) with everything cooked to perfection. Seared tuna blew my mind.”

“A Cozy Experience at Ima Cuisine… Ima Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm, cozy vibe and lovely lighting set the perfect mood for dinner. We started with the mezze platter…The pillowy, fresh pita paired beautifully with the creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, and smooth labneh. The pickled veggies added the perfect punch, and the falafel was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—some of the best falafels I’ve had in a while. For mains, we shared the halloumi and chicken along with a variety of sides. I’m already planning my next visit—especially during the day so I can have their famous hot cross buns! If you're looking for comforting, authentic Middle Eastern flavours in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, Ima Cuisine is a must-visit. Highly recommend :)”
