Perfect every time! So tasty especially the blueberry flavour. The customer service is great too, you’re always greeted right away and they always try to up-sell you drinks or soft serve. Love this place

The best cheese tart in town. Have tried the cheese tarts and chocolate tarts for a few time. Original cheese tart is always the best I reckon!! Highly recommend you to give it a shot if you are a cheese lover! You'll fall in love with them and can't resist to grab one or more whenever walk by.

Let’s start with a little bit of trivia. Where does this cheese tart originated? If Japan is your guess then you’re wrong but don’t worry that was my first guess as well, this brand originated in Malaysia then brought over to Australia and New Zealand but there is still a bit of Japan in there, as it was inspired from the cheese tarts from Hokkaido.

These are divine little bits of heaven. I grown up eating egg tarts and these are a little reminder of them. The filling is super creamy and base thin and crispy. Though now have tried Pablo tarts in Japan they can do with more cheesy flavour. Also a bit expensive at $4.50 for just one.

Yum. The cheese tarts taste good either fresh or chilled. I prefer the original one way more than the strawberry one. Both can be a bit heavy though.

These tarts tastes 10x better after being refrigerated in my opinion. Rather than warm and gooey, they turn into these amazingly rich cheesecakes. I like both the original and matcha flavours.

I just go for their Cheese soft serve ice-cream! It has a really nice 'Tasty Cheese' type taste to and I get a sweet and mild tang flavour from it.

I can't comment on their tarts since I haven't tried them. If you're after something a little different then try their cheese soft serve.

This is a little shop situated across from Aotea square and it's really easy to spot with its bright yellow interior designs.

From here I bought a original tart. I liked the tart very much. The crust of the tart was very flaky, crumbly and buttery, just how I like it. The filling was great but I would only eat one for each day as it made it taste fatty? (I don't know if that makes sense)

People say that trying the tart when it's cold is nice too but some say nope. I guess I have to try that sometime. (But I'm too scared that I'll break the layer on top, which will make the filling ooze out)

The staff was quite friendly and really smily which I really liked.

They had loyalty cards for each time you bought a tart and that's exactly what I need. Oh the struggles of being bróque.

Will go next time to try the strawberry tart to see if it can beat the original one!

Tried the Original Baked cheese tart, they are quite expensive for one tart : $4.50 each and no discount if you get more. It is definitely nice, I loved the taste of it but it is way too expensive for ONE tart. It is also not warm, I thought it would be but it wasn't. Overall, impressed with the flavour but not with the price.

Yum. It would’ve tasted better if it was nice and warm out of the oven. The filling is cheesy and creamy. The pastry is sweet short crust. This is tastier than the other Japanese cheesecake place across the road.

WHY does japan have all sorts of delicious treats?? Well i suppose there’s delicious sweet goodness in every country...
this egg tart though, you can’t stop at one. I bought a whole box and it was devoured by the missus and I. You need to have it warm and fresh though. Original is the way to go.

Only three types of cheese tarts were available - the original; blueberry & strawberry, all @$4.50. We tried all three - cheese was smooth & the sweetness was just right for me. All of them were excellent. I wish Hokkaido could provide more variety in the future.

I really love this place - both their tarts and ice cream. Only gave them 4 stars because despite it being delicious, I still find $4.50 for a tart quite pricey - however the $3.50 cheese/berry and cheese ice creams are amazing and I would highly recommend trying it!

The original baked cheese tarts are not that great but the chocolate baked cheese tarts are very delicious, so that covers up for it. The quality and taste is on point but I think it is overpriced. I would not want to spend $4.50 for one cheese tart. I think they should consider making it a bit reasonable. I do enjoy the cheese tarts but since they are expensive, I just buy it once in a while. So, if you are looking for good quality, delicious cheese tarts and are not very fussy about the pricing, this is a great place for you!!

These are oddly satisfying! A mix of sweet and savoury and the perfect size! Can be strange for the mind to comprehend but just let it happen ☺️

Don’t knock it till you try it. I’ve only tried the cheese tart but will go back to try the chocolate and obviously buy more cheese ones. Delicious little find in the middle of town.

I passed by today and saw they were having a promotion 3 for $9 so I got two of the normal cheese tart and one chocolate and both were exceptional. The texture was smooth and light like pudding and it had a really nice creamy taste. It was a delight to try.

Extremely declious cheesetarts.
The best I've ever tasted! Tart base was as amazing as the cheese filling. I get three everytime I go to the city.
The cheese soft serve also tasted very nice. Although it tasted a bit weird at first, it gradually got better. I preferred the cheese one over the berry soft serve.
Chocolate cheese tart wasn't as good as the original but still tasted great. I would go again for both flavours!
Blueberry was okay but still prefer the original one.

Cheese tarts are a dream! However a bit pricey so i recommend downloading the Neish app to save a few cents lol. The Hokkaido soft serves were super yummy! I'd definitely recommend both cheese and berry flavours - not as expensive as the cheese tarts and you save $1 using the app as well.

I was allowed the chance to sample the chocolate baked cheese tarts yesterday before their release. I brought them over for a family dinner party and overall the reviews were really good. Everyone enjoyed them with half of the family preferring the chocolate more than the original cheese and the other half for the cheese.

I love how there's a new variant of the cheese tart and chocolate is a great choice. I'm excited for a possible matcha flavour. It's a semisweet dark chocolate so the tart itself isn't overly sweet with a rich chocolatey cheese taste with a slight saltiness. The filling was still gooey when we had it as a dessert (roughly 3hrs after pick up) which was perfect and meant that it was cooked just right. The combo of the sweet shortcrust, creamy rich filling and roasted almonds on top worked really well.

The service I received and basically everytime I go there was friendly and kind. The lady who served me was very polite and the tarts come out picture perfect everytime and are so consistent.

I highly recommend trying out these tarts. They're the perfect treat yo'self snack for after work, uni or even just walking up Queen St and would be something impressive to bring over for a gathering/ special occassion.

I know I’m late for trying this, but I think it’s overhyped. The difference between this cheese tart and egg tarts is the added cheese which adds a little saltiness and creaminess into it, and it’s oven baked on a high temperature and for a little longer duration. It tastes really nice if you just have one occasionally, but if you eat it often, you’ll get really sick of it. But $4.50 for a cheese tart isn’t really worth it.

These tarts may seem pricey for one but they are definitely worth it. I had mine after it was chilled in the fridge and it was creamy smooth with a delicious cheese flavour. The pastry is very scrumptious and done well. You can taste the cheesiness but it isn’t an overwhelming flavour. Quite well balanced that does make you want more.

It's really easy to the the gem place. The stuff is very nice and you can see so many lovely egg tarts set in the showcase.

It's $4 each, it's expensive for me,but I am happy to try it. I thought it would with lots of cheese as well as cheese pizza. However it's just creamy.

I like it, but I might not go back again for just a little tart. I am happy to try the ice cream next time.

I first tried Hokkaido baked cheese tart overseas and was curious to see how the NZ branch would measure up. I like how the pastry is flaky yet of the right thickness. The tarts are best eaten warm (I personally heat them up using an air fryer although the recommended method is to bake them in the oven). The only downside is that this place is a takeaway outlet but that's not really a problem as the tarts are bite-size.

Hokkaido provides an unique experience for anyone who has a sweet tooth. It takes Asian desserts to a new level with it's refreshing and interesting cheese-based creations! We were lucky enough to be invited to a tasting at Hokkaido on Queen Street where we've been treated to their soft serves and the classic baked cheese tarts.

Cheese tarts:
These delicious morsels are like little cheesecakes that melt in your mouth. We had them fresh, so straight out of the cabinet but there are different ways of eating them (baked and frozen like an actual cheesecake)! These cheese tarts are imported from Australia (which explains the price premium) but are baked daily at their Queen Street store so they are definitely fresh and yummy! Really looking forward to the introduction of more flavours to New Zealand (following their success in Australia and Asia)!

Soft serves:
These absolutely blow my mind away! We tried the cheese and the berry flavours and both are good! I didn't realise the berry is a berry AND cheese! I preferred the cheese one as it's got a more distinctive cheese taste and it's less sweet. The berry one has a nice fruity taste but do get a bit sweet as you eat it.

Overall Hokkaido is a must visit and trust me their cheese tarts and soft serves are one of a kind that you wouldn't want to miss!

I’ve heard mixed reviews from my friends about this cheese tart which created a hype not long ago. Upon trying it myself i think the tart tasted average, it was too dry and heavy. One would be enough, and i got to drink heaps of water afterwards. Not seeing this as a new favourite anytime soon.

Updated: The new tarts are awesome, especially when chilled in the fridge. Very creamy and sweet. The chocolate flavour was nice as well but they ran out.

Have yet to try the hokkaido baked cheese tart which this place is known for but the berry cheese soft serve icecream was a nice treat. It was not extremely sweet and the cheese flavour wasn't overpowering. With the niesh coupon it was only $2.50 so decent price too!


-- update 20/3/18 --
Had both the cheese tart and the chocolate tart. Both tarts had great flavours and were quite tasty. The cheese tart in particular seemed a lot more gooey than I would have preferred but it was good regardless. At a price of I think $4.50 each its definitely not a treat I'd have often though given its small serving size.

I love these! The best tarts I've had in NZ. So creamy and smooth, such a nice treat with some milk tea or a coffee. The staff there were friendly and approachable. They picked the non burned tarts for me when I said I'm buying for the family. The only downside to these is the price. $4.50 for one tart hmm. Can still see myself repurchasing though!

EDIT: for summer they have added strawberry tarts. These are definitely more delicious than the original ones as they use real strawberry bits not just artificial flavoring and it’s a good additional to the plain original tarts. They are the same price as original tarts.

I couldn't wait to try out this place since everyone had been raving about it. It quite a small store and quite hard to spot if you aren't intending to come here. The prices are quite high as each tart is $4.50.

The cheese tart's base was sweet and crumbly and warm. It disintegrated in my mouth. The cheese part was like custard and I didn't except it to be as sweet as it was but the sweetness made it even better. I can't wait to come back again.

Finally they're open in Auckland! I've been wanting to try them ever since people start vlogging about these tarts on travel vlogs in japan. Tarts are yum, love the crumbly crust, fillings are so soft and just the perfect balannce with the crust. My only complain is that these tarts came at $4.50 each and devoured at 5-10 seconds.

Went there on there opening day and tried their baked cheese tarts.
Personally I really liked the flavour because I am a big fan of cheese and thought the filling and the tart went really well. However I do wish they had other things on their menu for example perhaps different flavours?
The only downside to these tarts is the price of them, it's $4.50 for one and the size is well, pretty average. Definitely making me think twice whether to buy it or not. Also the discount is quite small if you buy more (only $1.80 if you buy 6) which I think it's quite a turnoff.
Otherwise, it's definitely first time try and ooh the packaging they have is super cute!!

***Updated***
Went and tried their new Hokkaido cheese flavoured icecream! I was definitely a bit scared about this because both cheese and icecream are 2 of my favourite foods but those two mixed together? Hmmmm. However in all honesty, it was so delicious, it wasn’t too creamy and just at the right consistency, the taste was superb too. Although it was just a soft serve, there was actually quite a lot and it came in a waffle cone not those fake icecream cones.
Also now if you’re a student you can use the niesh app to get $1 off making it $2.5 only!! In my opinion it’s definitely worth a try and I would defs go there all the time during summer 5/5

Beautiful pastry and they're very cute, but I felt the cheesy taste was just too strong and a bit salty so it hardly tasted like a sweet thing to me (was more hoping for a cheesecake mildness). I had had some great cheese and sugar combinations in Japan but think this just isn't my favourite. Also I personally think prices are a bit high  as it was $4 for one, but that's probably standard I just hate paying so much for baked goods. Tried once, probably wouldn't again.

I've tried this in another country before and when I saw they were opening one in Auckland I was tempted to visit. I purchased a box of 6 for $25.20 and like what every other review says it is not the cheapest thing. But some places sell miniature cups coffee at this price, so its not too bad.

In comparison to what I've had in another country, this was a bit saltier. Not a bad thing though. Filling was rich and had a nice smooth texture. The tart compliments the creamy filling very well. Definitely recommend if you are a cream cheese fan.

Also the staff who served me was polite and very approachable.

I've been here twice in one week. I've had mixed reviews from a few of my friends. For $4.50 each or $25.20 for 6 is quite expensive and more of a treat. Would definitely have them more often if they were priced fairer but that's probably a good thing for my body. 

I've had them hot from the oven, and straight from the fridge. Both great cold or hot temperature. I like the short pastry, it melts in your mouth. The texture tells you that a lot of butter is used. The filling is creamy, and not too sweet.

Worth a try!

Came by at the opening day to try this out. It was quite an interesting flavour. The tarts were hot from the oven so were really gooey and the cheese flavour wasn't very strong. The savoury filling combined with the sweet short pastry was an interesting combination. I think its one of those things you can probably keep trying just to see if you like it or not.

Paid $25.20 for a pack of 6.

After seeing much advertisement and hype over my Facebook and Instagram. I have decided to give the Hokkaido cheese tarts a try! Never heard of these tarts before and haven't tried them in any other country before either. Completely new to me and didn't know what to expect !

Efficiency : First thing that came to mind was how long I would need to line up just to buy myself these cheese tarts . To my surprise.. I only queued for 5-10 (max ) at 5.30PM on a Tuesday.The staff are efficient at the till. The tarts were premade and therefore it's easy for the staff to pack into bags/ boxes. The downside of premade is that the tarts were warm and not hot ( what I expected ) 

Taste: The texture pastry is similar to a soft cookie ( if you have tried a cookie type pastry egg tart ..its very similar). It has a light sweet taste and doesn't taste oily or buttery. The texture of the cheese filling is very soft and creamy.. almost melts in your mouth. Its not the type of  melted cheese you would find inside a ham and cheese toastie. It's got a salty and sweet taste to it.  If you enjoy cream cheese, ricotta cheese.. I think you would enjoy the cheese in this tart. The combination of flavours from the  pastry and cheese balanced out each other well. 

Price: $4.50 each or $25.20 for a box of 6 ( save $1.80 ).  I personally think $4.50 is towards the pricier end ( tarts are not very big ) 

Highlights: The creamy soft texture of the cheese filling is what I find most unique. 

Overall, the cheese tarts tasted good and is great for a light snack. 

It's definitely worth a try if you are interested in exploring new foods!

I've heard so much about this place on social media so had to give it a try.I got a pack of 6 tarts which cost me $25.20, but if you buy an individual then it's $4.50. It is definitely not cheap but in terms of quality and taste of the tarts then it's worth it in my opinion. 
The pastry is buttery and a great base; it doesn't annoyingly crumble or is rock hard. There's a generous amount of filling and it is super creamy and not overly sweet. It's not dense and heavy feeling when you eat them, unlike most baked cheesecakes.
The store itself is quite small but they don't really sell anything else so it's understandable. The staff are super friendly which is great. 
UPDATE: They added soft serve to their menu a plain cheese flavour and a berry cheese flavour, as well as a chocolate cheese tart.I love their cheese soft serve so much, especially during a hot day. It's so milky and has that cheese flavour that is the same as the tart. My body can't handle too much dairy but I could have that all the time because it's that good.Their chocolate tart is okay, not too chocolatey or cheesy so they kinda cancel each other out if that makes sense; original is much better imo.
Definitely, recommend to try them out or if you just crave themYou can eat them hot or cold which is awesome!

If you're a student then I recommend getting the Niesh app as you can get student discounts at Hokkaido :D

These are seriously good! Nice short crust with a creamy slightly cheesy filling. I got a box of 6 for $25 otherwise they are $4.50 each. Which seems rather pricey for a sweet treat, but it is dense so you will feel fulfilled after one. I had them after they were in the fridge so it had more of a baked cheesecake texture. These can be reheated from the fridge or freezer. Or you can have them cold!

Baked cheese tarts originally from Japan I think. Fell in love with these treats while I was overseas in Singapore so I was so excited that it's finally come to NZ!

Not as good as the Singapore ones, I thought the cheese filling was a good consistency but a little on the runny side, pretty sure it's meant to be just the slightest bit firmer, as when I bit into mine it was a complete mess oozing everywhere which wasn't the experience I had in Singapore. The flavour wasn't strong enough either, can't quite put my finger on it but just not as good as the ones I remember from when I was in Singapore!

The pastry however was spot on - crumbly and buttery, melts in your mouth.

I'll try it again in a few months time to see if there's any changes- other than that still yummy.

The thought of a tart and cheese combo very much appealed to me. I love cheese very much and tart regardless of what may be in it initially makes me think of sweet things. Judging by previous reviews I expected a good experience here. We got a box of six which cost $25.20 or $4.50 each , which some may think is a little expensive but in my opinion they are worth every cent. When we got them they were maybe little warm and I think that was why the cheese was a bit runny though at the same time a bit like " jelly" and the pastry fell apart a little. But still they are DELICIOUS!!! We kept some in the fridge and today finished them off....so can honestly say the chilled way of eating them is good too. No loss of flavour and of course it's all a little more " solid ". Either way both ways we ate it was very good and will definitely get some more when in city again.

Finally purchased a box of these cheese tarts from Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tarts, that just opened last week! I bought a box of six, which cost me $25.20 ($4.50 each, I believe). The baked cheese tarts were quite nice and soft, and it melts inside your mouth! The cheese filling so soft that it crumbled and fell onto my hand! It's worth trying it once, but I'll only come here if I'm craving for a snack.

Been following them on facebook and just had to see what the hype was all about.

I concur with everyone else, nice and very crumbly all round, set and savoury on top, slightly sweet and creamy/custard like in the center. We tried one on the spot and took one to chill, I like them either way, the mrs prefers the chilled one. 

I find it pretty good, I think I would like it much more if there was ever to be a cheesecake adaptation of it but this is a just personal preference.

*Updated* - Tried the berry and cheese soft serve, the berry is nice but the cheese was definitely cheesy and not my cup of tea. I thought it was only going to have a gesture of cheese flavour but it's far more than that. Even the mrs who's a cheese lover didn't fancy it either.

Tried one from their promotion with gongcha where you get a free Tart the day before the grand opening.
Size-wise it's your ordinary Tart; but for $4.50 you may want to think twice, it's getting a bit pricey.
First bite into the Tart it's probably the pastry base that hits you first. It's dense, yet crumbles away and melts in your mouth. The creamy cheesy goodness on top plays with your taste buds. The upper layer is more cheesy and savoury, but then you get to the centre and it's more a egg/custard pudding, but mildly sweet. Perhaps more of the pudding filling will make it more enjoyable.
It's cool how you can have it served multiple ways; either bake again, freeze, or as it is.
They also sell them in packs of 6 for $25.

Hokkaido finally expanded to New Zealand! I was fortunate enough to try them in Sydney and in Melbourne and i must say they impressed me every single time. Its like an egg tart with a cheese filling, it is extremely good when its fresh from the oven; however it is luck of the draw if you do happen to get it fresh. A bit on the expensive side but what a treat it is!

WOW!! Like the best mini cheesecakes you've ever tasted. I was fortunate enough to receive these early and I'd never heard of em until today, I was a bit skeptical at the name and even more so of the appearance - I wasn't sure if it was a savory or sweet dish but I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a bit of both (a little more on the sweet side though). It's like shortbread pastry filled with their gorgeous runny Hakkaido cheese & bruleed on top, it's surprisingly good!!!!

Finally, Auckland's very own Japanese style cheese tart store! Tried this out on their 'soft launch' day today and after tasting Uncle Tetsu's in Sydney earlier this year it's really hard to find a place that would satisfy those midnight cravings but fear not Hokkaido to the rescue! Don't let the thick crust put you off as those soft creamy centre will send you to Cloud9 in no time! They're not cheap at $4.50 each, but buy the 6 pack box and you'll get a $1.80 discount. Highly recommend.

I love cheese tarts from here! They're super creamy in texture and have a light enough cheese taste that you don't get sick of it when eating the whole tart. really nice snack to bring round for parties and stuff! they have bundle deals for buying in bulk as well. They taste good frozen, chilled, room temperature and heated up, all depending on preference. super versatile, nice dessert!

Okay, if you haven’t tried these, you absolutely MUST! You don’t think it sounds like something you’d like? You could not be more wrong. These sweet but not too sweet balls of bliss are one of my favourite treats. They are very expensive though (the only thing stopping me from eating them every day, thank heavens). It’s hard to say what they’re like...not the taste of cheesecake, less intense than that..texture of clouds haha, not dense whatsoever! I dunno man, just try them! Infinitely better than the gross uncle tetsu cheesecake across the road.

Amazing cheese tarts. If you never got the chance to try it well bad news for you, they have closed. I think the problem with them was it was too expensive. They needed to make it like 2.5 or $3 max. Sell more. But alas we'll have to wait until they pop up somewhere else.

The chocolate tart and the cheese tart are amazing delicious. You must try them once a life. The ice cream taste a little bit strange for me. I don’t really like it. “Cheese ice cream “

The cheese tarts were simply amazing. I was blown away by the taste and regret not buying more the last time I was at the CBD.

Delicious tarts, chocolate and regular are your two options. A bit pricey and not at the level of similar products in Asia, hence the 4 star.
