We were visiting from Christchurch. A friend highly recommended this place so we made sure to stop by. We ordered the burnt basque cheesecake. Its $22.50 but for a huge slice! We had one to share between the two of us. Cheesecake is quite a rich dessert, so the portion felt just right.The Matcha flavour was strong but not too intense, the sweetness was just right, the mochi added a fun, chewy texture. The brownie base was a little on the firm side but overall a really good cheesecake! We can see and taste the effort that went into this. Quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation in every element. This was definitely a treat! :)

Fankery has always been a staple spot for me to get Asian inspired sweet treats and I feel inclined to leave this review because I’ve been a fan of Cathy and her delicious cheesecakes and tarts for years now. It upsets me to see how many people are leaving negative comments because I genuinely believe these desserts are amazing and worth every penny I spend on them. The cheesecakes are my go to for events and celebrations and Cathy’s recipe has been crafted to absolute perfection. The texture and flavour combination is absolutely insane and I encourage anyone to try these out for themselves rather than listen to the negative rhetoric that’s been circulating online. So so happy that there is a permanent storefront for Fankery finally and I don’t have to rely on markets to get my fix anymore!!

bought 2 tarts for my fam to try, they were both dense and were layered quite well, i'm not really a coffee person so I enjoyed the pudding tart more. however, I think the tiramisu would be perfect for coffee lovers as it's quite strong. Looking forward to trying the pistachio and strawberry tart next time!

Dropped by Fankery on a Saturday arvo and had such a good experience. Ended up grabbing the watermelon & strawberry cake and shared it with my family, it was a hit. Heaps of flavour, and you can tell a lot of care went into making it. Not your average cake, in the best way.Cathy’s put in a crazy amount of work to get this place off the ground, and it really shows - from the creativity of the cakes to the vibe of the whole spot.If you’re into supporting local, love a good dessert, or just want to treat yourself to something a bit special, definitely give Fankery a go. Cathy’s killing it and deserves all the support she can get.

Absolutely delicious and a total joy!We walk past Fankery every day on our way to work, and it honestly sparks joy every time. Cathy and her team are so friendly, warm, and welcoming. It’s one of those places that instantly lifts your mood.The treats are next-level! Not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and made with care. My absolute favourite is the limited edition watermelon cake, so fresh and unique! We’ve also gifted friends some of their cookies, and they’ve been a hit with everyone.It’s been disheartening to see the negativity online, especially when this is clearly a business built with love, passion, and heart. We’re here to support local and spread kindness. Fankery, you’ve got something really special here. Keep going!
