    Tiramisu cup
    Katie N.

    I was so excited to try this place upon discovering it on Instagram, after see the famous tiramisu cup. That sounds like edible Heaven. My husband and I went in, and it was a lot smaller than I expected (both locations). I ordered the tiramisu cup, my husband the tiramisu gelato, and then we purchased a chocolate bar and cookie to go. The tiramisu cup was very bland and just not what i expected. I was super disappointed. My husband's gelato was some of the best he's ever had (I had a bite and would agree). Everything there was so decorated and pristine, I almost felt bad that everything was edible since they were all gorgeous (of course I would've loved to try one of everything). When my husband tried his macadamia nut cookie later he said it was extremely stale and crumbly. My raspberry white chocolate bar was not enjoyable. Maybe I hyped myself up too much, but if in Auckland again, I wouldn't go back.

    Miann was the 1st place we visited in Auckland, NZ as it was close to our apartment during our visit here. Coming from Houston, Texas, USA, this quaint cafe was the perfect pick me up spot for a coffee after our long flight here. Between their high quality coffee, desserts, pastries, bagels, hot chocolates, etc. there is something for everyone here. You order at the counter and they bring whatever you ordered to your table. We tried their iced Vietnamese espresso, and their mochaccino. Both were delightful, and you can really tell they use high quality coffee beans here. The cute little cocoa dusted marshmallow w/ the mochaccino was tasty as well. As our first stop in Auckland, they really set the bar high! We would definitely come back later to try 1 of their delicious looking desserts. Run, don't walk to try Miann on Fort St!

    Sweets galore! My brother and I stopped in shortly after arriving into town and stumbled upon this cute place after after I had heard good things about Miann. We had a Vietnamese iced coffee and a mochaccino, both delicious and made with high quality coffee beans. Staff was friendly, and although we didn't try any gelato or one of their delightful looking treats, we'd love to stop by another time!

    We decided to just explore the city and walk around Auckland aimlessly on our first day in New Zealand. As we were walking around we happen to stumble upon Miann. The presentation of their desserts is phenomenal. I mean come on, how can you resist these Poké Balls! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/miann-auckland?select=tsHnnONItNK-F1d8vviH7Q The outside of the Poké Ball is made out of white chocolate and the inside had cheese cake filling. I wish I lived here so I can try more of their delicious desserts.

    Black Gelato and Peanut Butter & Jelly.... yummmm
    Gina B.

    Great stop for a treat! I was hoping for a gelato bar that I saw in other pictures but what I found was amazing gelato flavors! I tried a few flavors before I decided on two different kinds. I had the 1 scoop which is actually 3 small scoops for $7.50. They allowed me to do 2 flavors in it. I couldn't decide!! I had the Black Gelato which is charcoal activated with coconut and the Peanut Butter and Jelly! Wow!! Both amazing. The peanut praline in the peanut butter added an amazing crunch. Both so creamy and light. So much better than ice cream. Great seating area, clean, friendly staff.

    Strawberry balloon for $15
    Claudia R.

    The first thing you notice when stepping into the restaurant is the dim and intimate setting. You will see a bar full of perfectly petite and colourful desserts which will get you extremely excited! I was delighted to see that the tables were widely spaced so you don't feel cramped. We were approached by a kind lady who helpfully explained what the days special was and we were delighted to find out they do these desserts shaped like "balloons" for $15. The dessert came out and was visually stunning, today's special was strawberry flavoured and we were informed they had mango and matcha green tea in the past which would've been delicious! The colour was vibrant and you could see all kinds of textures which all had a place on the dish. This type of balloon dessert however is really light as the middle was almost a foam, or aerated mousse. Overall, I will definitely visit this place again and bring more friends. I will probably get the same balloon dessert as it's exciting (but will come on a full stomach) and will try to come for dinner next time as they have an even more extravagant menu!!

    Macarons: $3.00 each

    Evident by my 3-Star review, I really wasn't a fan of Milse; but I'll be damned if I'm not over the moon excited about Miann with Brian Campbell at the helm - these are some of the best macarons around: globally. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The service and atmosphere at Miann trend closely with Milse, but the broader selection of goods and abundant seating make for, in my opinion, a generally better experience. It's the little things like cups of water and bar seating that make you actually want to hang out and enjoy your goodies in the moment as opposed to bringing them home. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? In what was surely some sort of brain lapse on account of a sugar-induced coma, I completely forgot to document the exact prices of my goods. Having said that, I think the macarons were roughly $3.00 each and the gelato bar $5.00, both of which are more or less reasonable given the high quality and the venue. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Wow. Having sampled both traditional and contemporary macarons around the globe from Paris to Tokyo, I can say without question or hesitation that these were some of the best contemporary macarons I've ever had. First and foremost, the flavor selection was fabulous, with a blend of classics like chocolate and vanilla coming together with apple pie, burnt caramel, and peanut butter. The consistency and flavor? Fantastically consistent across all six of the macarons I ordered. What more could you possibly want? What's that? You could possibly want a cookies and cream gelato bar? Well there you have it then folks. While I'll admit that the center wasn't really at all gelato, the flavor was there and the oreo coating was a win. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Top tier macarons get five stars, and Miann has some of the best macarons I've ever had. Star Granted.

    Macarons! Loved the salted caramel, Eighthirty espresso and chocolate sea salt - yum!

    2015 is definitely the year of desserts. First there was Milse, which although it opened in 2013, it forever remains my favourite restaurant, for their ever changeable desserts and exciting creations. It is also where I can go and order dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and not feel weird about it. Then came the Sweet Cuisine Dessert Pop Ups. Like a sit down dinner, but instead of a 'normal' three course meal, you were served three courses of desserts. This brought a whole new level to dessert dining. And now, there is Miann. A sophisticated dessert bar/patisserie serving beautiful gateaux, gelato on sticks, handmade chocolates, and stand out macarons. The mastermind behind creating all these delectable desserts is pâtissier, Brian Campbell. With 15 years' work experience under his belt, including having held the position of head chef at Milse and starting up his own company, namely Sweet Cuisine (you may recognise his dessert pop ups around Auckland), Brian has done great things for Auckland's foodie scene. More recently, he and his wife, Roselle, have opened up Miann on Fort Street. My friend and I visited Miann earlier this week for lunch. Walking in, the fit out is dark and intimate, but as soon as you see the desserts, your eyes will light up, and Miann turns into something magical. Brightly coloured gelato sticks with edible decorations, handmade chocolates in all shapes and colours, perfectly formed macarons and last but not least, the creative and decadent cakes saying "eat me". I have to be honest, it was not an easy choice. When your stomach can only fit in two or three desserts, it makes it very hard to decide! But don't fret, the staff are super friendly and will happily explain each cake, including the ingredients used. If you find yourself drooling over the likes of salted caramel, dark chocolate, black forest, raspberry and white chocolate, green tea and fresh and freeze dried fruit, then Miann should definitely be next on your foodie hit list! We ordered the following: - Salted caramel gelato stick. This was a dream to eat, mainly because it was the perfect balance of salty and sweet. However, there was one glitch, it melted very quickly and required a spoon. But other than that, it was delicious. Highly recommend! - Dark chocolate and blueberry gelato stick. Although it wasn't as good as the salted caramel, the dark chocolate really shone through and made it enjoyable to eat. - Salted caramel gateaux with chocolate sponge and rice crackle. I loved the presentation, especially the decorations. And when I cut through the middle, salted caramel oozed out of it. It was divine. - Dulce de leche gateaux. I found the shape very strange (hint: a very creepy film...), but it was creamy, and not overly sweet, so it would be perfect for that third dessert you might want to order! Yesterday, I visited Miann again, to try their macarons. Delicious, delicious, delicious! Highly recommend the salted caramel, the chocolate sea salt and the Eighthirty espresso. The latter was definitely my favourite, especially with the chunk of coffee inside. I also tried the Oreo, which tasted just like the cookie, the sesame dulcey and the Raspberry Turkish delight. As well as all the delectable desserts, you will find freshly baked pastries (they had brioches the day we were there), Eighthirty coffee, shrubs (the strawberry one is sweet and delicious) and they are soon introducing a breakfast menu and also a plated dessert menu. I am so happy that Miann has opened. We tried some outstanding desserts and Brian and Roselle were as welcoming and friendly as ever. This is a great addition to Fort Street, which is fast becoming a foodie mecca!

    The dessert was spectacular. This restaurant only serves dessert, so great detail and attention is paid to each dish. I watched as they were preparing, actually cutting mint off of the plant. It was amazing. We ordered the chocolate tart that came with ice cream. Raspberry and a few candies nuts added on top made the flavors burst. It also came with smoked hot chocolate which was u like anything I've ever had. So good! We also got the apple and pear crumble with vanilla ice cream. Amazing. They peeled the pears in front of us!

    Gateaux
    Kim C.

    A solo outing from the man who brought Milse to Auckland. It's similar in many ways but, perhaps most excitingly, it's much bigger. That means more tables (including some outside in Fort Street's shared space), and the ability to peruse the colourful, heaving cabinets without being shunted from all sides by passing waiters. I visited with three other people - a good strategy for sampling maximum desserts! We stuck with the cabinet selection had a hard time choosing from the selection of gateaux and gelato on offer. The flavour combinations are creative and varied. My only criticism would be that some of the more delicate flavours get lost in the individual dishes. Special mention to the amazing filled donuts too. Miann is a really fun experience for dessert-lovers.

    Mmmm

    Best dessert of my life!! Totally thought this place was going to be overrated due to hearing so much about it, but I was certainly not disappointed by my expectations. The restaurant itself is a little small, so it doesn't suit large numbers and it is rather expensive - but trust me, it's worth it!! I can't remember the name of the treat I purchased but it was a hazelnut flavoured biscuit thing with caramel swirls, topped off with two mini macaroons. Absolutely amazing. I also got a cold salted caramel drink which I was originally weary of, but it turned out to be delicious. I'm trying to find any excuse to go there again! We also got takeaway macaroons for morning tea the following day and the salted caramel one so mouth watering amazing - it literally melted in my mouth - yuuum!

    Amazing
    Monika C.

    Great services and the dessert was amazing. Didn't take that long to come which is good because people don't like waiting for there food or desserts. Location is good too not in an busy area. Would love to go back again. Can't wait to taste more of there unique desserts and drinks.

    Last week, the pâtisserie Miann quietly opened its doors to the Auckland public. Throughout this year, dessert mastermind Brian Campbell and wife Roselle have been popping up at Auckland restaurants under the name Sweet Cuisine. Now their dream restaurant is a tangible reality, in the form of gleaming cabinets filled with all sorts of pretty things you'd find in your dessert dreams, from gelato sticks, beautiful chocolates and cakes. I went a little trigger happy at Miann last night, and a little naughty ordering "one of that...oooh this and THAT...and OMG the mushroom!" I thought I was immune to macarons but their macarons are to die for, with flavours like eight thirty coffee - delicious as a pick-me-up treat the next day. AMAZING.

English breakfast, Earl Grey, Vanilla Rooibus, a wide range of fruit teas, flower blends and foreign teas - there is seriously every kind of tea you can imagine in this store! Not only can you buy the teas in Chapter, you can also purchase a pot of tea while you have a quiet read or study up on your uni notes. Tea pots and other such tea accessories are also readily available and are all super cute and colourful. Chapter is a great place to find a novel gift - perfect for your nana, aunt, mum or bestie - and better yet, if you gift some of their scrummy tea to someone close to you, you can drink it too!

    As a massive nerd, I have to say, I'm so happy this place exists…read more Cakes and Ladders is, as far as I know, Auckland's only board game cafe. They have an impressive stock of board and card games--for adults and for families--the nicest, friendliest staff you could ask for, and a comfy interior setup for your hours of board gaming pleasure. The coffee is pretty decent as well, although none of my friends nor I have tried the food menu just yet. Here's how it works: you walk in, you pick a table, and the staff start your timer. Then you can either pick a game or have one recommended to you based on pretty much whatever criteria you want, and if it's a new game to you, the (again, wonderfully friendly) staff explain the rules and setup to you. Then you play--for hours, if you want. At $2.50 an hour, it's a steal. (Also, they're currently awaiting their liquor license, so although there's no alcohol there yet, just you wait. Craft beers are on their way!) They close at 10pm, I believe, at least on the weekends, but once the booze arrives, I'm hoping they stay open a wee bit later. I'm definitely going back, often.

    This place is awesome!!! Came with my husband and had a great time. They have so many games!!!…read morePerfect for groups and for just 2 people.
