Walked past this shop on the way to dragon pc and everything looked so amazing that I had to go in. Wow wow wow is all I can say. The quality of this food is amazing. Not only does it look amazing it tastes amazing. The best quality desserts/treats I have ever had. We will be back for every special occasion and the occasional treat.
This shop's cakes are unbeatable! European patisserie Japanese-style at its very best. The proprietors also rate ***** for friendliness.
Brilliant service. Extremely friendly staff. Delicious and beautiful food.
The only place to go for the most incredible mouth-cake experience! Yahagi are also very helpful with larger orders: my English students and I ordered a class lot of individual cakes for a class celebration. We changed the order twice, got exactly what we had asked for and I was accompanied out to the car with the stack of boxes to make sure they got to my cart safely! The bliss on everyone's faces was obvious while we ate. Cake perfection. :)
Amazing deserts. Bite sizes and lovely and friendly customer service. Green tea cake... yummy �
How did we not know about this shop! Fruit tart is fantastic 😘
Loved my Mother’s Day treats. Beautifully made and taste delicious. �
Friendly welcoming staff who took the time to describe some of the products we queried. We appreciated the wee cardboard uprights taped into the box to hold our items in place. The cakes we purchased were truly scrumptious and we look forward to our next visit.
Friendly staff and delicious dessert!
Stunning desserts with incredible flavour, will keep going back and have recommended to loads of people.
unique and delicious the Royale was absolutely yummy, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-)
thanks to the team! the cake was delicious it reminded me of the cakes in Japan. will order again
Desserts/cakes/breads the food is amazing here ! So delicious ! The cakes are perfect with attention to detail. I’ve been here a few times and will always come back .
One of my favourite places! I visit frequently for macarons and I've gotten my birthday cake from here for the past several years. Highly recommend their Green Tea Gateau, but the other cakes and tarts are also great. The staff are always very nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere of the place is cute in general.
Would highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!
Great little patisserie shop full of delicious and beautiful looking cakes.
The green tea cake is devine! Flavours are perfectly balanced the cake is fluffy and light. Each mouthful is a great delight.
The raspberry rouge is beautifully made.. almost too pretty to eat. But once you dig into one, you just won't stop.
Can't wait to try all of their other cakes.
Another exciting find when roaming around Riccarton. All the items in the display looked really tasty but went with the chocolate tart. The macaron on top was a nice start but it was the best component. I found the chocolate in the tart a bit on the bitter side and the strawberry on the sour. I also found the base a bit too crumbly. Should've tried the mousse since it had won a award.
Love manager and cute little set up. The cakes are a bit more expensive but it is what you would expect for a quality product. It is not jam packed with sugar like other bakeries - the sponge and mousse are always fluffy. I recommend the Mont Blanc and Chocolate Mousse!
**Dessert lovers must try**
One of my favourite cake shops in New Zealand, various cakes they sell are award winning like their famous chocolate mousse cake.
All cakes have their own Japanese twist, the texture of the cakes are much lighter and less dense than normal. Small wee shop, great value and lovely owners.
Highly recommend to green tea lovers and anyone who enjoys dessert.

Latest news, I just ordered one whole fruit cake and attempt to bring back to Auckland and it works fine :).
I asked my friend if they have find any cake just similar to this in Auckland, they said "I've never have such tasty cake in Auckland, never." :D Guess I have no choice but keep coming back to chch for the cake.
Best Cake I've ever had in my life, considering strawberry shortcake 7.90 its quite pricey, but after you'll know whats call "the taste of heaven", creamy and smooth, i love sweetness of the cake here, not too much and not too heavy, feels like you can never have enough of cakes, it just perfect in every single way. density for the sponge cake was just enough, unlike those one you seen in divine, I used to come to here almost every week when i was still living in ChCh. now whenever i have chance to go down i'll definitely go to this cakery.
I tried the Coffee ...cant remember whats that call but it taste a bit bitter and sweet at the same time! and it matches perfectly with the walnut's bitterness. the crunchiness cross over. Too good to be described. please try it.
The best bakery in town. Their chocolate mousse is a must try. Everything else is just as wonderful. The staffs are always so friendly and lovely which makes me forgive them for not being open on Sundays and Mondays. They also make the very nice and rich Belgian hot chocolate, and the green tea latter is a must try. Never disappoints.
Generally the desserts look delicate and beautiful! And the taste is even better. Constantly I love to get something sweet here. The service is very good too. Even it's a bit expensive still worth it.
And oh yes! Don't forget to try the hot chocolate there! Best in town!
This is my third time to visit the bakery since I was back from overseas! I tried the new raspberry mousse.... it is beautifully presented with the great texture of sweet pastry filled with almond paste and the velvety mousse with a tang of raspberry filling on top. The chocolate mousse is rich and bitter sweet which I really like. The display cabinet has a few selections but very impressive ..as if I was transported back to Ginza, Tokyo... salute to the award winning Pastry Chef....
Absolutely delicious and pretty cakes! The Strawberry Shortcake I had was delicious and creamy and my boyfriend's chocolate mousse was very rich! One of the best cakes I have ever had and the owner was very nice as well :)
The green tea birthday cake i brought from this shop is the best ever green tea cake i ever ate. I am a Chinese. But hell i love this cake. Amazing!!!!! I will keep going this place, thank you for making such an amazing cake and you make us happy! Thanks.
A gem of a place! Such nice and friendly staff, and the presentation of their cakes, slices and biscuits is very pretty. The cakes we tried were lovely!
The cakes are awesome 😋 love their matcha cake that is soft and full of favour. The pastry base of fruit tart is very nice!
Best cake I ever tasted in nz. The cake is delicious and creamy, full of fresh fruit as well. It makes my day delightful!
This is without a doubt my favourite cake shop in Christchurch (and of any I've visited in different cities/countries too!) Beautiful, beautiful delicate cakes, sold by the slice or you can order a full cake to pick up (sometimes they have some whole cakes in the cabinet for spur of the moment cake needs too). Their biscuits on the counter are SO good too - in wee packs to take away with you.
Yahagi do coffee and hot chocolate too, and have two wee tables for pairs to dine in and sit for a chat.
Tasty Fig and Walnut Tarte from Yahagi! We arent local and happened to pass by the shop and decided to get one for Christmas. It was a good decision and calories well invested. Highly recommended.
Delicious green tea cake I ever eat in Zew Zealand. The Japanese staff are friendly. Got free cake from them as just nice today is their 10 years anniversary. Nice taste too ! Thank you very much.
Best Japanese style bakery shop in Christchurch. They have variety of cake for you to choose and taste so good.
Beautiful cakes! But what keeps me coming back is the friendly service I receive from the staffs in here. It's been 3 years since I discovered this place but to this date and onwards, it will always be my favourite pastry place! Their cream puffs are phenomenal. 😍
Try the Chocolate Mousse cake, that's amazing! High quality and texture, really enjoyable.
absolutely delicious fruit tart & choc mousse cake!!
Cakes so great and coffee also nice and kind staff.
:-) lovely cake too~~
Had the best cake ever in New Zealand so far! Cream puff was amazing, and their chocolate classic cake was just right! Went there quite late and most cakes were sold out :( The owner was extremely kind too! Highly recommended :)
I’ve been buying their cakes for the past 8 years and have never been let down. The cakes are not overly sweet, high quality and the service is consistently polite and friendly. I will keep on coming back for my monthly treats.
Really yummy treats! I got the fruit tart, strawberry cake, gluten free chocolate cake and a french almond butter treat. All were very good. I should have taken a photo but I ate them so quickly 🤤
This has to be the best fancy cake bakery in Christchurch! Their award winning chocolate mousse filled cakes are to die for. They only use the purest ingredients available - think pure vanilla vs vanilla essence. The difference - albeit subtle - is definitely noticeable. The service and presentation is exemplary. Every special occasion is celebrated with a treat from Yahagi!
