Vaniye Patisserie

Such a beautiful cake and it tastes like heaven! You can tell it's made with love and care. Even though you tell yourself to not over indulge, you just find yourself wanting another slice... and another... So addictive and love that it's not overly sweet - which is one of the big reasons why I personally don't go back for seconds with most cakes. But this one's a winner for sure!

Beautiful cafe/bakery in a handy location in Parnell. Not many parking space in front but plenty parking lots on the roadside. Sliced cakes are gorgeously decorated and taste fantastic however the number of readymade cakes are limited. This quiet cosy cafe is my kind of place for unwinding over coffee and a slice of cake after a hard day at work. Thanks Sonia!

The refined art of delicate desserts indeed. I’ve ordered from them three times so far. While I wish they would have more selections of ‘Birthday cakes’ (and more temporary car parks for pick-ups), every one of the cakes I have ordered comes perfectly in terms of design, texture, and richness. Until next time …my guilty pleasures

Being a French family, I guess you could say we have tried almost all the French Patisserie's in Auckland. This is my absolute favourite. So much care and attention has gone into preparing the Buche de Noel (Xmas logs) that we ordered for Christmas. (Come on! When your surname is Buche, you have to have a Buche for Christmas!) The complexity and strength of the flavours of the multiple layers, the texture of the slight crunch of the biscuit base, with soft sponge layers, then the creamy buttercream... and did I mention the visual delight. So pretty. The cakes are not too sweet. We ordered both a Tiramisu and Black Forest Buche, and a few other treats for before Christmas. This is a true French patisserie and better than almost all the ones that I have been to in France. Bravo Sonia. It was such a pleasure to meet you and your staff. Thanks for the giggles!
