Bluebells Cakery is a cake shop and café at 361 New North Road in Kingsland, Auckland. Every celebration cake, cupcake and macaron is baked and hand-iced in the Kingsland kitchen, which is also where the Auckland-wide deliveries leave from. Customers can have coffee and sweet or savoury bakes, collect an order, or book a vintage-style high tea.
High tea is for 2 to 12 guests, in 90-minute sittings at 10am, 12pm and 2pm, seven days a week, and needs at least 24 hours' notice. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and pregnancy-friendly options are available. Ready-now cakes and cupcakes can be collected the same day, and wedding cake consultations can be booked. Customers praise the cupcakes, macarons and the friendly staff. One guest's Mother's Day high tea was disappointing, so it's worth noting that the experience varies. Open Locally lists La Couronne Cake Boutique 0.9 kilometres away, rated 4.4 from 227 reviews. Our pick in Kingsland for a high tea with a cupcake to take home.
