We were celebrating our 2 year anniversary and had been kindly gifted a voucher by friends. Booking was smooth and simple with Charlotte, the booking made for the following day. Upon arrive we were greeting and seated by the lovely Kiera who looked after us for the afternoon. The Zealong NZ teas were wonderful, my partner particularly liked the Lady Gatsby blend. The savories provided were all very flavoursome, the quiche was especially nice. Whilst all the sweets were amazing, I specifically enjoyed the cheesecake whilst partner enjoyed the mini-cupcakes. Thanks to our friends we had extra on the voucher and were able to take away goodies for later. The Lemon crumble slice as suggested by Kiera was our favourite with the salted caramel a very close second. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend High Tea for anyone wanting to treat themselves or a loved one for a special occasion. The food and service were amazing and the slices were outstanding. We didn't yet try the cupcakes, but we're finding an excuse to go back again soon. Thank you Charlotte, Kiera and team for a memorable anniversary celebration. Rich & Cris

I ordered a cake for a special birthday, and needed it to be gluten free. After shopping around a bit, I was delighted to find Bluebells Cakery. The prices were reasonable, compared to many others. It was so easy to customise the cake, and add bits and pieces to the order. The size/portion chart was excellent. The customised picture that was included was a bit last minute (I had asked on my order whether it was possible, but didn't hear until a couple of days beforehand, so it was a bit of a rush putting it together). It was printed beautifully though, and the birthday boy was super impressed (that's the reason for 4 stars, not 5). The cake was packaged so that it didn't move around in the box, which was a great bonus. Good instructions on the box for cake care, as well as verbally when I collected it. A very professional service overall.

Our experience with Bluebells Cakery, which was nothing short of a disaster. The lack of professionalism and care was astounding. This is a warning to others considering them for their wedding. Firstly, the quality of the cake from Bluebells Cakery was a major letdown. For a wedding, you expect a cake that is both delicious and beautifully presented. Sadly, the cake we received was bland and forgettable, a far cry from the standard one would expect from a reputed bakery. The delivery service only added to our troubles. The cake was not delivered at the scheduled time, causing unnecessary chaos in our carefully planned wedding day. It’s clear that Bluebells Cakery does not understand the importance of timing and coordination in such significant events. Adding to the fiasco was the consultation process. We were provided a cake that was embarrassingly small for our number of guests, despite having clearly communicated our requirements. What was supposed to be a centerpiece of our celebration turned into a source of embarrassment. The response from Bluebells Cakery post-wedding was equally disappointing. Instead of acknowledging their mistakes and rectifying them, they chose to deflect blame and offer superficial excuses. This lack of accountability and dismissive attitude toward our concerns was incredibly frustrating. Choosing Bluebells Cakery for our wedding cake was a regrettable decision. Their failure in both product and service has left a bitter memory of what should have been a joyous aspect of our wedding. I strongly advise anyone looking for a wedding cake to consider other bakeries that respect and understand the significance of such an occasion.

This review is specific to the value for money and in no way a reflection of the customer service as the customer service was lovely. We were caught up with the brunch rush so it was fairly noisy but weren't too bothered as we understand that's the norm for cafes at that time We had the Vegan High Tea at $55 per person and were not impressed. With the Normal high tea being the same cost but with more options we thought that maybe the Vegan High Tea portions would be adjusted due to the lack of options. We were mistaken, the sausage roll was a literal bite, the filo was hardly filled and the sandwiches were a literal sandwich cut into triangles with the filling being quite bland. Sorry team but at this time it did not live up to a good experience. The best part was the Coffee and customer service as the ladies were lovely. I would suggest since there are less options on the tiers then adjust the sizing. We also purchased a cake which we pre ordered as we were attending a birthday after and were surprised with the size and the cost. We will be returning to our normal cake lady as raised was not good value for money.

Well located in Kingsland. Very clean premises. The shop has tasty cakes, savoury food, teas and coffee. Staff is friendly and polite, toilet is clean. Two months ago we booked a table to have high tea together. So, I was looking forward for this day. I ordered a vegetarian gluten free "Low Tea" ... The food came on a plate... Just a white plate... Poorly presented. The magic, was gone... With so many two tiered cake stand sets available, it was really dissaponting. For savoury only had vegetarian sandwiches and a mini vegetarian sausage roll (very tasty). According to the gluten free menu, and the vegetarian menu, a cheesecake was missing. For one person, $49 is not worth. Would have done better if I had a fritatta, a piece of carrot or orange gluten free cake from the cabinet and a cup of tea. The macaroons are very sweet, had only half of it. My blood pressure went down rapidly. I only stayed because I was meeting colleagues that I haven't seen for a long time.

Looking at the reviews, it feels like I might not have taste buds or something awful happened to my particular cake. Ordered a small vanilla cake and I completely failed to taste the appeal. It tasted like the most basic cheap vanilla and the icing also had nothing going on. The splatter of gold you see on one side costs $9! It looks like a 2 second job and they rip you off with it 😢 There was also a card that cost $5 and I had no idea how insignificant it would be. That sort of card really should just be free for a cake that is already so expensive. I would have to say this was the worst cake I have ever had if I consider how much it cost. Crazy! Why do people like these cakes? Is it for the looks? Completely shocked and disappointed at the taste.
