Delicious ! You can't stop on The almond tart , cheesecake and tea time cake
Rating 4 With a name like La Couronne you might mistaken think it’s a French patisserie, but it’s more a modern Asian bakery. Whatever it is, they do make some very visually pleasing cakes and bread. Taste very nice too, not overly sweet. A good variety. Individually wrapped too.
My favorite cake shop in the city. Love their watermelon cake so so much, which is also the reason why I become their regular customer 😅 keen to try other things as well. The price is a bit on the pricey side but it's understandable for such a bakery right on Lorne st-heart of CBD.
I kept going around the display tables wondering which one to pick up. Every savoury and sweet items looked so appealing!
It was handy that there's 2 tables for eat in to have a small break time.
I wish there's another branch in the North Shore as well.
Always love their bread. I always bought some every time i was in the area- their cakes also yummy! shop is well maintained and clean too. recommend!
i used to come here very often, but haven't been back in awhile.
cute bakery and the staff were always so lovely.
can't exactly remember what i used to buy from here, but everything i had was delicious.
MAN DO I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL
I went in to look for a small snack, like a small bun or so. Left the store with five buns. Damn, they got me. The buns looked too damn delicious. They taste great too! 😻
Bought a cake from them right off the rack for my partner’s birthday. I forgot the name of the cake but it was matcha flavor and it was delicious. Inside the cake was a matcha filling and pudding. I love how they balanced the taste of matcha to not overpower the other flavors in the cake. The staff was super nice!
Cute bakery with all sorts of savoury and sweet Asian breads and desserts. I love the texture of their bread in general, super fluffy and soft.Attractive store front with their kitchen at the back, they have daily specials at the end of the day so you can be assured that their stuff is baked fresh! The service is friendly and helpful.
Their price is cheaper than the average cabinet food you’d get in a cafe but still err more towards the pricier side probably because of its location being in the CBD.
Still a great place to stop by and grab a quick bite or coffee takeaway on a lunch break or after class! :)
You’ll find all the typical Asian pastries here and Taiwanese pastries like Pineapple Cake. The star are their egg tarts. Best in Auckland I reckon.
Visited this boutique cake store in Auckland and was blown away by their selection of Asian-inspired cakes. Each slice was a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The Japanese cheese cake was divine. Highly recommend for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth with a unique twist
The best cake (taste, design and presentation)! Excellent service! I have been getting cakes (personalised and otherwise) from them and they meet my standards every time! sponge cake with fresh cream! Not too sweet and very very delicious! Ben is very talented and creative. Highly highly recommend!
Great customer service for a last minute request! Black Forest cake done in 45mins and comes with complementary accessories! Will visit again soon 🎂💕
Update 5/23 very amazing Asian cakes done perfectly with delicious cream!!
The largest Chinese bakery I've been to, with a well presented and large variety of breads and goods that my eyes have ever laid upon. The place also smells sweet and carries that authentic Chinese bread smell (if u know,
know). Slightly pricey for the portion but definitely a treat yourself moment. They have a wide range of items, all so beautiful and so many taro goodies to choose from!! Ahhh taro paradise.
Got a salted matcha red bean, motley taro, taro q polo, taro Filipino (see a slight trend?), green tea choconut. Would love to try their moon cakes next time! And from staff recommendations the Boston milky and savory pork flake bun/roll (which I didn't get since I've had them before from other stores). Speaking of staff, they were
super friendly and helpful!! I got an egg tart too (heard good things!). Total came to be 7 items for 27.20, not as bad as I thought, and with such unique items I'm happy to pay the price. Quality wise let's find out.
The egg tart had the thickest crust I've ever had, and I kind of liked that, normally used to flaky crusts but I did enjoy the different texture of this. The egg filling was tasty
and a good portion. Wasn't too sweet, too eggy or liquid-y. Best I've ever had though? Nah, these are still similar to ones I've had at other bakeries and at yum cha! 3/5 since
it didn't quite live up to hype.
Salted matcha red bean-a new product, has a faint matcha flavor with red bean swirled throughout. Not bad, but would like a bit more red bean to bring out the flavor.
Soft bread, but does not quite melt in the mouth. Did enjoy the matcha essence paired with red bean though! 3/5
Motley taro has a hard doughy swirl layer which was just soft bread, but a generous sweet taro filling which made up for the doughy bread. 3/5
Taro q polo, similar to motley with the same bread taste and filling expect that it had an additional slightly crusted surface. It was slightly crusty but not so much that it
brought another interesting texture to the bread. Could've had potential though. Liked more than motley. 3.2/5
Taro Filipino was described to me as a thicker bread, and they were not wrong. However he bread taste has a bit more of a slight hint of cheese (perhaps?) that made it
differ slightly from the other soft breads. 3/5
Green tea choconut bread was a bit staler compared to the others, but was made interesting by the green tea layer which was slightly crunchy. The redeeming feature
was the choconut filling which was very airy and moussey, sweet and enhanced the bread. 3.5/5
Boston milky describes as slightly cheesecake-y, I didn't know what to expect as to me it looked like a dense
boring sponge. Instead I was greeted with a soft bread and a well rationed creamy and sweet yet ever so slightly cheesy filling. Not bad but again, not wowed, it did have
the softest bread though. 3.5/5
Would I go again? If I'm really craving Chinese bakery goods then yes, to try more of their items, but otherwise I would probably check out other just as large Chinese bakeries!
We ordered Taro and Tiramisu cakes and both were delicious.
The Tiramisu tastes even better after couple of days.
Lovely customer service, cute store with yummy cakes and drinks. Milk tea was a bit sweet but overall everything was good. Will definitely come back many times.
Enjoyed the Taro Bubble Milk today. It’s such a cute, well designed and well presented cake shop with a wide variety of appetising pastries.
Super kind and friendly service.
Will visit again for sure. Recommended!
I been there to buy a birthday cake for my hubby and was so friendly staff help me.
She help to got the cake quicker than what is supposed to. I need urgently and she really help me out, so I don't need to wait for few hours to get the cake done.
Price is a bit expensive then the regular small cake but I think it's worth it with the service and taste..
Also they have so many kinds of buns or 'ready to go' bread for such a good price.
Definitely will come by again..
I ventured into Asian specialty patisserie, La Couronne in CBD, to peruse the various beautiful baked goods.
Staff was very friendly and the shop layout was so beautiful so I ended up buying a durian cheese cake and coconut custard bun. All cakes and sweets are plastic wrapped for freshness and my purchases were lovely, delicate and delicious. If you like Asian gateaux or sweet slices and buns, this is your place!
Great selection of sweet and savory bread and pastries. Everything looks very cute and appetizing! Lots of variety to choose from. Today my choice was oreo bread and Boston cream bread. I am very excited to try.
