You guys are absolutely the best patisserie in New Zealand! I love the freshness, the variety and the quality so much! It's a weekly treat for my family and I wish we live closer.) Thank you for delivering most beautiful and delicious food. It feels this place is full of heart too. And thank you for keeping affordable prices!!! �
The best German inspired treats. So much yum and great staff too!
I recently discovered this bakery and now I’m addicted! They do delicious bread. Probably the best baguettes I’ve had in Auckland city. I love the fact they serve freshly baked bread and don’t hold second day stock 👏🏽👏🏽
The tarts and chicken pie is amazing too!
Must try the almond tuiles, they are thicker than usual which gives it abit more texture while biting into it. Not too sweet and very crispy. YUM!
As a European and a rather passionate cake and pastry lover, I am so happy to have a such high quality and authentic European patisserie in the area. Everything I have tried from here has been outstanding over the last couple years (cakes and pastries only as I never stop to sit down) and I look forward to one day saying I have sampled the entire cabinet! :D For now, I can highly recommend the rum balls (especially the latest iteration with the bits of biscuit in them, so good!!!), the lemon meringue (if only they were bigger so I wouldn’t need to get myltiples, I could eat that lemon curd and perfect meringue every day), Mille feuille, strudel and chocolate layer cakes (nothing like the sad bland New Zealand sponge cakes!). Enjoy!
Such Amazing goodies on display in the cabinet was really difficult to choose. Lots of European small cakes and fancies all made on the premises.
Coffee was excellent and service very friendly. Really enjoyed the fruit tart.
Amazing cakes and sides, friendly, fast service and excellent coffee. Great place to come when you're craving a sweet treat. Great prices too.
Hard to find fault really. Chris Ott does what he does very well. Consistency is the key here and I've never had a bad experience. It really is a local a gem.
Located in the heart of Birkenhead..Great authentic pastries skillfully crafted. Very good coffee and attentive staff..the chocolate twists (swirs) are irresistible..
Lovely little place to visit. Delicate and delicious cakes and bakeries with reasonable price. My daughter loves the Cheery Chous and Mile Feville, full of cream but not too sweet.
best lemon meringue pies ever! yes i ate them all!! great little place in Birkenhead worth the travel for the great breads, coffee and all the yummy sweet treats
If I died and came back as a sweet treat it would be the salted caramel slice at Ott. It is the best thing I have eaten ever in the history of the world

Great pastries and reasonable price. I wish I can try all pastries you have one day.
[Update] Came here a couple of times, and bought a Swiss roll this time. I can say this is one of the best I have in Auckland.
We ordered the Black Forest cake and chocolate truffle cake for a family pre Xmas party. The cakes were excellent and loved by the family. Highly recommend.
Ordered the petite 14 to take to a friends for afternoon tea. It was very nice. Did have a little trouble when phoning to ask questions about any choices. Ordered online and added some notes. All went smooth and items were ready on time. Thanks
Cinnamon scrolls were delicious. Coffee was great, lovely, and hot. Great service from Amelia.
Thank you so much. Will definitely come again.
I ordered countless times of their Box of Petite Four for friends and families. They taste exquisite and look so cute. Also perfect for birthday if you are only keen on blowing one candle and have a bit of everything.
Chocolate twist is my daughter’s most requested item. My personal favourite are eclair and tuille.
Everything is very well priced, a gem in Birkenhead village and a must try.
Lots of things sell out very fast and they close early, so I found ordering online is the best way to make sure we don’t miss out :P
World famous but locally in Birkenhead. Special and unique food, good coffees. Very popular and has good range of selection to please everyone in the family. You get what you pay for and it's worth every penny of it. Plenty free parking in Highbury. During busy hours, it can get very cramp and squashy inside. I had a customer who literally walked into me as he was making space for another customer to get through. Nonetheless, definitely worth a try and highly recommended.
I ordered the high tea boxes for an afternoon tea - they were fantastic! All of the cakes were delicious, the sandwiches and scones were fresh, I can’t recommend this place enough!! Now I need to sample some of the other pastry delights I saw instore. Thank you Chris!
Is the Over The Top (OTT) Patisserie really OTT 🤔
YEP, it really is 👏
Visiting here is a delight - you'll consistently get fabulous food (crafted by himself), great coffee AND a Splendid Smile (from Herself).
Enjoy! 😊
I go here many times, again today [Sat, May 23] for Mocha & Lemon Tart; Sooo yummy!!! 😋 😍 👍
Very nice little patisserie. Their pastries are top notch. Very beautifully made yet not too sweet. Perfectly balanced, light texture and sweetness. Went in at the end of the day and the lady offered us free rolls. It’s not because of the freebies, but you can tell they value their customers. These little gestures go a long way and would definitely return for more yummy treats.
We are from out of town and were recommended this bakery from a local on a visit up. The baked goods here are so good and reasonably priced, we now make a bulk order and take it back for the freezer to enjoy over time. Of special note are their pretzels, cheese sticks and fitness loaf.
Their customer service is also excellent- we were unable to collect our order over the state of emergency with Cyclone Gabrielle and they offered 50% off our next order.
Thanks OTT :)
