Love the variety of cute desserts they have this place. Plus drinks and ice cream. Short distance away from the cinema so always a good place to hang out at after the movies. π
Love their cakes! Great location too. The yuzu tea is delicious and I often gift their cakes
This place offers a range of delicate mini cakes, kids love their sorbet and ice cream, the chocolate lava waffle is my personal favorite, always busy when we visit.
Up there with one of the best dessert places i have been. Love the Belgium waffles and ice cream options. There are a few other dessert options as well.

Good afternoon everyone except those who donβt bother to shut the doors behind them & let cold breeze in when Iβm just trying to enjoy my yummy πππ πππ¬π¬ππ«ππ¬ like what did I do to suffer this??
βΌοΈ ππ¨ππππ π§ππ πͺππππππ¦βΌοΈ Need I say more?
Did you know OKO recently updated their Belgian waffle menu with new options AND reduced price (and by recent I mean since May so youβre probs living under a rock if you still got no clue)? From $17.5 to now only $15, this deal is defs something you donβt wanna miss ππ
β’ πΌπ’ππππ£ππ: Suitable for a date night or a catch up with your besties, though keep in mind it might be a bit difficult if you have big groups of friends since the place is quite small with only a few tables inside. They also have tables outside (+ outdoor heaters) if youβre into that, but I get cold at 30C so Iβm just gonna stick with indoors tyvm π.

The πͺππππππππ π³ππππ π« is a classic alright, if you havenβt tried it yet what are you even doing?? The warm waffle is crispy on the outside & moist on the inside, paired with caramelised banana (ππΆπ·. π²ππ π’ππ ππππ π ππππππ πππππ?), Swiss chocolate ice cream, & topped with rich dark chocolate sauce & heaps of chocolate shavings ππ πΈ πΊπ½πΎπ. This is truly what dessert dreams are made of.
Now letβs talk about the new π©πππππ π»ππ waffles! The white globs of salted cheese foams - idk what they are but they taste like milk powder and Iβm a sucker for that?? Iβll be honest the brown sugar tapioca pearls are more jelly-like & not as chewy as the real deal. The combination of waffles, Caramelita ice cream, whipped cream, & milk tea sauce was a bit too sweet for me to devour all by myself (I did overestimate my ability so thatβs on me LOL) but I can definitely see myself sharing this next time with a friend π
β’ πππ§π«πππ: Prompt service & friendly staff. Self-serve water.

OKO Dessert Kitchen is a great place to go after dinner for a fancy dessert.The service isnβt great because it takes a while to get your dessert (if you get a waffle or plated dessert), but itβs so delicious it makes up for it. The location is perfect!

Loved the passionfruit yoghurt and bubble tea waffle, the feijoa one was a bit bland. Nice dessert place for after dinner
A classic go to dessert place in the cbd. They have a awesome range of desserts to satisfy any sweet tooth. Personal favourite is their volcano.
Their waffles with ice-cream is delicious and nicely presented, they also have a range of well made cabinet slices/cakes/chocolate/icecream. I also like that they sell alcohol as well unlike other dessert places in town. They have a covered outdoor area as well as tables inside.
I've experienced only a couple of times service is slightly slow even during quiet time of the day with not too many customers. However its a brilliant place to go for dessert either alone with a book or a group, or even to pick up a treat to go.
Awesome desert we had at oko. One of those cool spots to hang out with your mates in a lazy Auckland avro
Such a nice and vibey cafe. It opens late till 9pm. It's nice having a late night cafe around. The deserts were nice too! They even had books for people to read π one thing to note is that the kitchen closes relatively quickly, at around 6.30? The cage opens at 5 and closes at 9 so I would assume the kitchen would close at 7.30 ish? But otherwise I recommend to come here for a light catch up:))
I went to the New Market store
I have been to a few dessert places in the past already. I think the waffles here are the best of them all. We had the berry and the s'more waffles. The waffles are crispy and the s'more that I had was fluffy and was really good. However I think their drinks are below average compare to other places like house of chocolate. I had the 70% dark chocolate but it just doesnt feel right. The gimmicky aspect was nice but I think it is lacking in flavour. My partner's ice cream mocha was better but just average. Overall will try other waffles flavour but probably opt for just a plain coffee instead.
Stipped by the new store on Carlton Core Road in Gilli Cafe. They have a nice selection of different sweet treats. Their plated desserts are only available after 1800.
We grabbed some quick treats before they closed. The dining area was quite large and fairly nice.
Must try their waffles!!ππΌJust donβt overdo it by ordering everything chocolate, it will be unfortunately too much, especially if you are having all to yourself instead of sharing π€ͺ.
Also, who said Cookies and Cream cake has to be only for kids these days... I have fallen in love with it again after trying it at Oko - it has the creaminess, the crunch and is ultra-moist. Why choose between cookies and cake when you can enjoy BOTH together??!! ππ
That chocolate loaded Belgian waffle was amazing and soooo sweet aka perfect. Got some reasonably priced wine to go with it and sit outside. Would go back.
EDIT: we finally did go back π. Amazing ice cream cones and even Bailey's cocktails this time!
Nice cafe with well presented mini cake options and other desserts. It would be a good treat on a special occasion. Coffee was pretty good too. Nicely decorated and lots of tables inside.
Sensational dessert, ice cream everyone loves. Right inside the spacious, locals favourite cafe-Gilli. Open till late night.
Visually creative desserts.
Blueberry cheesecake tart - I was hoping to taste cheese or blueberry but neither was forthcoming.
Loved the interior however I didn't like that it opened into the entertainment center at the rear of the restaurant.
A Simply delightful place and just utterly delicious selections of desserts. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Desserts were mouth-watering and thereβs really nothing to criticise. Will be coming back for more!
Beautiful place and lovely dessert. Looked child friendly as there were a lot of toys for kids of all age..
