Got the Ube Cheesecake. The taste is pretty good but not $22 good. I don’t think I’d be willing to continue trying their other options due to how expensive it is compared to the portion sizes.

Grand opening today! Obviously there will be some hiccups but that’s understandable. There were free cookies for first 80 customers, hence there’s a bit of a queue but queuing for almost 1.5 hours was not great. Overall still great place for cake!

This might be the best crepe cake I’ve ever tasted! Every layer is delicate, rich, and thoughtfully crafted—the textures and flavors are perfectly balanced. You can truly taste the care and effort that went into making it. A beautiful combination of finesse and flavor! It’s so nice to see Southeast Asian flavors being celebrated and brought to New Zealand with such pride and authenticity. Truly a labor of love from start to finish!"
