    Jewelry shops and women's stuff stores are located here. There is also a very very nice bakery equipment shop here. Coffee makers in traditional styles like the Turkish one are available here, too. Even if it's small, but you gotta need to take some time to walk. Recommended!

    Almost hidden little arcade with some great specialty retailers such as King of Cards (board games / cards) and of course Marbecks Records (spent alot of time & money here over the years). Not immune to pressures on retail, last month the empty stores have been given a fresh coat of paint and now opened as mini art galleries

    This Arcade is full of amazing memories from my childhood. My love of Classical music stems from this arcade. It's full of amazing shops that will satisfy most people, from a Cafe, Hats, Glasses, Chocolates,Music, even house and kitchen knick knacks. Worth a visit, short stroll from Commercial Bay.

    Here I am in Queens arcade it is Sunday most places are closed but there are very interesting shops here that I would certainly come back for on another day. It has a great feel to it. I read it the paper that there was a possibility of closing this arcade I hope it is preventable

    Pre-covid I would have rated this arcade at 5. But it has struggled and some of the shops I enjoyed did not survive there sadly. There are still high quality stores such as Applewood the amazing kitchen shop, Marbecks for music and Frontline Women's fashion. The watch repair place has hung on in there too. It's my hope that it will start to be filled with great shops again soon. Especially since the cruise ships are back.

    Awesome the shops that they had in there some of the things you would not be able to find in any other shop so different

    Love the nostalgia of going here. Stopped here to go to Marbecs records. Excellent range of music.

  • 4/5 John Q. 7 months ago on Google • 46 reviews
    Marbeck's record store is a long-established Auckland treasure, and I discovered top quality coffee and service at The Eos Coffee. Altogether it was a very good experience.

    Toilets both male and female were disgusting and filthy - the worst public toilets we have seen in NZ. Told 2 staff members of two businesses who were totally disinterested.

    Just witnessed the centre manager removing an elderly gentleman who was just sitting at a table and chair minding his own business, drinking a coffee. The manager was photographing him and threatening to involve police for anybody who questioned his conduct. It seemed that the elderly gentleman simply did not appear to be the type of clientele that the manager wanted in the arcade. Poor form. Do better.

    Extremely clean and great atmosphere to sit in. I could not find a bin in the complex and a polite staff member offered to throw it away. Very kind of him :)

    A pleasant shopping experience is a historic arcade

  • 4/5 Jason S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a sad shell of itself and it's not all on COVID either. About a dozen empty shops now and not surprising when you look at Queen St. The Mayor has truly messed things up and turned the CBD into a dark claustrophobic shell of it's former glory. Hopefully the next mayor brings it back to life and places like Queens Arcade can come back to life again.

    Nice little old arcade. Good kitchenware and cd/vinyl shops

  • 4/5 Geekygirlnz 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jonathan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice mall with loads of cool shops. I went for the King of Cards and ended up in 3 other places too. Nice and clean.

    Visited the cobbler...awesome friendly guy. Always cheerful and extremely deft in his trade.

  • 5/5 John L. 1 year ago on Google
    Located at the bottom of Queen Street, the arcade has been around for decades. Cute boutique shops and restaurants for those wanting more intimate as a shopping experience.

  • 4/5 Casey B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute shops, nice to walk through and spend time in. One of the only arcades with a public restroom: on the second floor.

  • 4/5 Leonie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Shame Neo Cafe and Bar has closed down. It's a God send to have a WC in town

  • 5/5 Judith 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of shops. Love that they have a Record Shop.

  • 5/5 Jamine sony M. 1 year ago on Google
    I go though this place every now and again because i go into (Marbeats) plus it's a shortcut to (kiwi bank) and (countdown that's on 76 Quay Street) Past (Auckland Chief Post Office) AKA (Britomart Train station)

  • 3/5 Noel J. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately due to the road works that have gone on and the removal of the bus terminal, a lot of the businesses that were once here have all closed but it was pleasing to find that Marbeks were still there. It seems that this is indicative of a lot of the arcades and some of the shops in Queen Street.
