Organised a surprise high tea for my friend. We had a lovely time over here. Peaceful place with lovely decor where you can relax with your friends with a tea or coffee and sweet and savoury nibbles. There is a good range of tea selections to choose. The delicious array of sweet and savoury treats were served on a stunning 3-tier stand as you can see in pictures. I love their fluffy scones served with jam and clotted cream. High tea by Cordis is truly a lovely experience.
Beautiful decor. The cordis has the most beautifully luxe atmosphere- the high tea here is spectacular- I would highly recommend with girlfriends and to bring your mum and/or grandma- it’s a real “treat” quite literally and figuratively.
Pictured here is a wee late night platter and wine ordered after an event in the ballroom.
Went in for High Tea. Service was exceptional! They have an extensive list of tea and you can also get some coffee if you get sick of the tea. It was quiet so they let us stay a little bit longer. You could really tell each food was carefully hand picked to be listed on the menu. I enjoyed the savoury bites more than the sweet slices, especially the small smashed egg on sliced bread – this was surprisingly delicious. The date scone was nice too (not shown on the photo as this is served on a separate tray). The sweet slices were OK, but the ice-block looking sorbet was really divine. I recommend grabbing a couple of friends to sit and relax to experience this great valued High Tea experience.
Super friendly bartender/waiter. Food was okay, above average. Ordered seafood platter. Wine was tasty. Pricey than others I think. If u stay in cordis, could try.
One of the best places to relax and have a cup of coffee or something light to eat.
Always come here with friends and family as we all love the atmosphere and the service is great too.
For the price you pay at a outlet coffee stores, you could get the same but better experience here at the Lounge. Or you can opt for something more fancy but it wont empty your wallet!!
Will visit again and highly recommended for weekend meet ups.
Enjoy!!
We have had high teas here when it was Palm Court by Langham and now again after it has been renovated to Lobby Lounge by Cordis. I have to say Palm Court’s decor was more suited to the popular high tea that many people come here for.
The high tea morsels and tea range were still of high quality, and the service were of high standard. The experience offered was impeccable as always.
It remains to be my favourite high tea place in Auckland.

Came here to celebrate a girlfriend’s birthday!
This was my first high-tea experience and I was glad it was with Cordis!
The tiers are all delicately executed, more so than the ones I’ve seen of other places. It’s more elegant and sophisticated than just sausage rolls and sandwiches.
My favourite from the bottom tier would be the tuna and beef slices! The mozzarella panna cotta was quite rich, but not for everyone (my friend gave hers to me)! The small orange bulbs were very interesting; bursts in your mouth, but with savoury juices!
The second tier was a bit unexciting, gesturing sandwiches that didn’t reach Cordis standards. The scrambled egg loaf was nice though.
Scones came with our tea, and the scones were delicious! Beautifully golden and crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside; paired perfectly with the jams!
The flower pot panna cotta was so good too! Light, creamy with subtle fruity flavours and the chocolate “soil” added the perfect balance! Loved the bit of sorbet at the top too!
Dessert top tier was my favourite! The matcha meringue one was so good, with earthy flavours lifted by some citrus custard! The winner would have to be the Snickers Bar though!!! So many textures going on, and to lessen the richness, there’s a layer of citrus caramel amongst the crunchiness and nuttiness!
The rhubarb cheesecakes were nice and refreshing to with with!
Overall, lovely high tea experience with very professional service throughout!

Food/Drinks: Came for the Christopher Robins high tea special and loved every minute of it. Each food is themed from segments of the movie and dedicated to a character. The food was yummy, especially the dessert! But one of the best things about high tea at Cordis is their tea selection. The flavours are so unique and there are so many wonderful teas to choose from. My favourite is definitely their iced tea range!
Aesthetics & Vibes: There was a lot of attention to detail with the Winnie the Pooh theme as they had red balloons everywhere, bear shaped drinks, flavours and specially named the dishes to represent each character in the movie. Had such a wonderful time there and it was the best high tea experience I’ve had so far!
delicious high tea and dessert. nice and relax environment. Friendly and professional service. Price not too expensive. Drink looks pretty tasty ok.

Came here for a birthday high tea celebration. We haven’t been here since it changed from Langham. At $69 pp is quite a good value of money, you get a pot of brewed tea of your choice, lots of gourmet sweets and savouries. There is option to add champagne at a cost. The service is top notch and even better than we remembered. The waitress is super attentive and she even offered additional complimentary tea free of charge. We also received ice tea on arrival, so refreshing. The Kiwi Summer themed high tea is delicious and tasty. I believe they change up the menu every couple of months. You may think that’s small but we are all so full and couldn’t finish the sweets which they offered to box it up for us. The stand out for us were the egg milk bread, mozzarella panna cotta, explosion of butternut squash and scones. Not to mention the Summer Flower Pot dessert was unique! Perfect for girls day out!
Booked mothers day high tea and it wasn't disappointing. Between five of us we were all presented champagne and 3 plates between us.
The waitress was just lovely. She explained every morsel to us and nothing was too much bother for her. As soon as our tea pots were empty, she whisked them away to replace them. She knew our preferences each time, only downside was the tea was on the weak side.
The food was delicious but perhaps the scones could be smaller. The menu was put together for Mothers day. My Mother in law was thoroughly delighted, we will definitely be back next year.
We had the loveliest experience here. Amazing service, our waiter Clark explained our menu, helped us to pick our speciality teas, and was very attentive and friendly throughout. Clark, you are amazing, thank you so much for making our day!
The food was great, we enjoyed the variety, and we thought it was excellent value.
Would 100% recommend to anyone!
We had a lovely experience at the Cordis hotel for High Tea. This was a birthday treat from my daughter on the Saturday 26th August.
We would like to thank Sol, and Marysell for the kind explanation, on the different types of tea, and the lovely surprise at the end, saying happy birthday that was so nice of you guy's
Thank you Keith and Lesley ❤️
Great atmosphere and excellent service. Friendly, helpful staff. However, too many sweet treats and not enough hot savouries. (Only received one small warm pinwheel) We would have appreciated a couple of hot meat savouries each.
Beautifully constructed cakes, and excellent scones.

The high tea here is such a fun day out.
Not only is the food delicious and ambiance perfectly curated but the service is fantastic too.
I was very well catered too with a gluten free high tea. On booking you can specify and allergies you have - they have an extensive list. My waiter confirmed when I arrived that I was coeliac. They also confirmed the food was prepared coeliac every time they placed food on the table, a small but comforting touch which not many other places offer.
When you walk in, you're greeted and then seated at a table which has already been pre set for you to dine at.
Your waiter will leave you to read over the menu before coming back and answering any of your questions. They will then bring your high tea over. Once you've finished the savoury section they'll serve your scones and also sort out your tea.
There's an extensive tea menu which means you can find something to fit your tastes. Then, you'll be left to enjoy the rest of your food.
Despite it all being small portions, most of the tables I observed did takeaway a box with remaining treats in it.
Highly recommended whether it's just you or if it's a larger group to celebrate something.
I booked a high tea for a group of students as part of an EOTC week. The Chandelier Lounge staff were great to deal with - from the booking, to taking into account special dietary requirements, and their great service on the day. The food was amazing. The students, and teachers, thoroghly enjoyed it and I would highly reccommend this experience.
Well, what not to like here! This lounge is all magical when you have some great high Teas on your table! with great options to chose. I cannot recommend enough to spend your special day here with the high teas the lobby lounge has to offer. The staff here was very accommodating and attended to my special surprise request.
It was an amazing premium high tea experience on the ocassion of my husband's birthday. Kirk was very hospitable and made our moment even more special with great service. Tanya at the concierge was lovely to interact with and looked after us very well. Kudos team 👏 👏 We will definitely come back.
We had a lovely experience at the Cordis for High Tea. This was a birthday treat and it certainly was a treat. Maybe the tea we ordered was a little weak however, everything else was great. Couldn't fault the service, it was excellent. Thank you
Fabulous experience, way above expectations. The food was excellent, a tip, leave room for the scones at the end. The staff were attentive, helpful and went above and beyond to make this really special. Thank you so much
