Bakery in New Zealand

“I love the bears, food and drinks It’s a really cute place :) Here my brother had the big breakfast and he loved it! I drank my coffee too quickly to take a pic but it was really good! I always get a dessert here since they have traditional dulce de leche from Argentina and make everything in house ☺️”

“Really lovely bakehouse. The energy there is just awesome. Buzzing with friendly people. We started conversations with people at 4 different tables. Had lots of laughs. Hubby and me never had an experience like that in cafe before. Food was really good. Priced well for the quality and size. Not fancy foods but more like home cooked foods and even do we are foodies we still enjoyed it and went back next day and grabbed sandwich and sausage roll. Sorry no photos of those as we finished it in a hurry but sandwich was packed with tasty filling and hubby said the sausage roll was the best he ever had. So there you go. If you not sure what to try definitely grab sausage roll. Coffee was excellent. Large size came in decent large mug and was hot and delicious.”

“2024: Holy Moley!! That Fresh Cream Donut just blew my mind! Every component was perfect, soft fluffy donut filled with velvety fresh cream. Everyone within the Auckland area and beyond, set your cross hairs for this delight. 10/10”

“Good place to get your bits and bobs for the kitchen if you are staying around the area. Had fresh produce as well and the prices for their other groceries are slightly cheaper than the bigger supermarkets. Open early and closes late as well so super convenient if you are in the area.”

“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.”

“Pies are full of real food. $10 for a plain mince but very tasty. Also got some sweet treats. Beautiful taste, spoilt for choice. Thanking Sheffield Pies for their response: Just to clarify, our items were 'rounded' up so my apologies for not specifying the correct price per item. Thank you for doing so. I hope this hasn't been taken in the wrong light but just as an aside, I should have got another pie! They were delicious.”

“This evening, a staff member went above and beyond for our family! I believe her name was Kaye, working in the click and collect department this evening. After my husband came home with our order, we realised we were missing a few things. I called up to explain and Kaye was so apologetic and helpful! So much so that she personally delivered our missing items to our home after her shift finished! Just incredible!”

“I can't help but stop here every time I do shopping as the cheap juices/mossies, pies, and slices are a hit in our house. Last visit, I was stoked to see elf on the shelf hiding with a caramel slice.”

“A wonderful dairy that has literally anything you could need or want. The people who run it are lovely and the chips are actually the best!!”

“I love going to the farm market on Sundays when I'm free. I always find new things like cheeses, salami, pastries, relish that are worth trying. There are also several fresh vegetable options at a good price. It's also a good place for coffee in the morning. I always leave with a bag full of healthy ingredients to consume during the week. An important tip is to bring cash. If you forget, you can exchange it there, paying a fee. Some sellers accept cards. There is also live music, which makes the atmosphere more pleasant. The market is inside a covered area and there is plenty of grass outside if you want to bring your pet. You can also find organic vegetables, options gluten free, plants, flowers, cheese, eggs...”

“One of Hamiltons best bakeries, off the beaten track. Great service. Great selection of food. Raw fish is bomb with fry bread. Awesome for breakfast or lunch. Good size meals for great value for money.”

“This bakery does the best Mocha Frappe. I would literally drive 15mins from home to get my cold coffee here!! All the food in the display cases looked delicious. Purchased muffins, which went down a treat with my client. They prepare hot cooked meals where you can dine in and eat. Prices seemed reasonable, too. Good service seem to be nice people that run/own the bakery.”

“We got our sons 21st cake made here, ordered from a distance. Cake was true to form. Delicious inside and out. Pick up was easy and well priced . And only a wee slice left after the party. Thank you, will be back for the next one”

“The team at Icing on the cake were absolutely amazing. They took my request and went above and beyond what i expected for my sisterinlaws 50th birthday cake. I was so blown away by the amount of detail that went into this cake and at pretty much at as a last minute cake aswell. More importantly my sisterinlaw loved it. Thank you so much for your amazing work I would 100% recommend them and i will definitely order again in future”

“Awesome Dairy shop with lots of different Maketu Pie, including Sunday Special which I couldn't get it at other places! (Englighten me please if you know there is other shop selling those flavours) I was lucky to get the $2 Hot Pie deal when I arrived there at 5.15pm. Yummy pie”

“Haven’t tried much as we came in the morning for light breakfast. Heaps of food options in a cabinet as well as desserts and a reasonable selection of food on a menu. We had an apple tart and a lemon crepes. Tart was 10/10. Surely recommended”

“Amazing service and the coffee is always on point. Highly recommend!”

“Yummy sandwiches and heaps to choose from in the cabinet. Good fast service”

“Always a pleasant experience when shopping here. Great staff, brilliant prices and the food is always divine. Dangerous location for over spending and over eating.. but absolutely no complaints!”
