NZ Herald

NZ Herald - Five of the best French cafes
"Recommended to us recently by New Zealand-born, French-based chef, Nick Honeyman, Vaniye is his go-to for croissants. Honeyman tells us the traditional, and probably most popular, pastry is hard to get right, but pastry chef Sonia is on the money."

Vaniyé Masterclass: Verrine Tatin
"If you’ve been to Vaniyé then you know it is a study in perfection – each dessert is a masterpiece. The very thought of trying to recreate one of her recipes seemed preprosterous to me before the class. Now I feel slightly more confident."

The Urban List

The Urban List - The verdict
"For pastries that look just as amazing on the plate as they taste in the mouth, look no further than Parnell’s Vaniye. Known for creating some of Auckland’s best and most beautiful pastries, Vaniye brings a feeling of Paris to the streets of Parnell."

Concreate Playground

In a dreamy realm of its own when it comes to fancy cake shops
"Visitors to this chic and understated establishment off the beaten path of the Parnell shops might well think they’ve walked straight into a high-end pâtisserie on the left bank of Paris. Shrouded in the hush of a luxury goods store but without the pretension, Pâtisserie Vaniyé is in a dreamy realm of its own when it comes to fancy cake shops."

Rachel Carley

Vaniyé Patisserie and Rachel Carley Ceramics
"The refined, modernist creations produced at Vaniye are displayed in serried ranks in an elegant glass cabinet. Like works of art, it is hard to choose a favourite, though they also make petit fours if you prefer more than one!"

Hadlow Girls

The place to go for exquisite French treats
