Very handy when out shopping, always full of diner , tasty food and friendly service staff.
Cabinet food is stocked with so much goodness..that it took a while to choose. I had the mocha cheese cake which I couldn't fault. Coffee was great and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Def coming back to try out more of their menu
What a great place to hang out! My first time in the neighbourhood and love all about this place! Awesome service, delicious cappuccino & chocolate croissant.
I originally came here as Columbus didn’t offer any vegan options except a salad in the cabinet that didn’t look very fresh, so Paper Moon was very refreshing. I ordered the Squash Garden salad and as you can see in the photo, a lot of love went into it! The service is also very helpful - When all our mains came out, my father asked for extra hollandaise sauce and it was bought out with the trust that we’d pay at the end (Which we did)
One of my favorite spots. Incredibly trendy tasteful decor and DELICIOUS food. Great for a coffee/lunch meet up. Lots of classic and unique options for food and drinks
This place is in the albany food court and it’s a big step up from the typical fast food kind of places you usually find at food courts.
Coffee is fantastic, lots of seating either in the cafe or in the food court (obvs it’s nicer in the cafe part but beggars can’t be choosers) and the food is pretty great. I had coffee only but Mr Puddingcake had the big breakfast. The bread was lovely and dark, huge serving of well scrambled eggs, and all the usual extras. A nice surprise in the mall
Please bring back the mushroom trio 🙏 it was so different to have creamy mushrooms with a balsamic hit and different types of mushrooms. Now the creamy mushrooms aren’t so special anymore - just heavily creamy with chorizo and potato, which means less mushrooms :(
Good coffee
Decent assortment of cabinet food
Average a la carte menu
Definitely the best cafe in the mall. I really enjoy their wedges with cheese and bacon. Always very crispy wedges. The cakes are a bit overpriced
Their pasta of the day - chicken bacon mushroon with creamy sauce is the best! And the manager Leo is really helpful and super accomodating! Best fettuccine iv had so far!
There’s no better way to escape the busy crowd at Westfield Albany Mall than to sit and relax at Papermoon Cafe and Bar.
It was interesting to note their healthy and delicious lunch choices. But we had gluten free chocolate cake and blueberry cheesecake for our afternoon treats. Words can’t describe these flavoursome delights- just perfect to go with our hot cappuccino.
The service was really good. Coffee was really good. The food was fairly good but the hollandaise sauce was a tad buttery. Other than that it's a good little cafe
Have been visiting the cafe over the years. The cabniet food has really steped up its game latly! Now every visit there is another new cake to try and the savoury things are nice and fresh. The coffee has improved alot and there are a few new hot drinks im dying to try. Place is very at lunch time. I like to come in after 2 for aquite cuppa and sweet treat.

Came here spontaneously after realising that the rest of the food court was closed. The service was really great - staff were polite & attentive. I noticed a sign stating that they gave a 20% discount if you had a same night movie ticket so asked about it, and the staff on double checked what time our movie was to make sure that we had plenty of time to eat and make it to the movies. We ordered at 7.05, and had it on our table, and had finished by 7.35! The food was OK - we had the Blue Bird pizza which didn't have enough blue cheese by far (we couldn't even taste it!) and the flavour on the chicken was over-powering, a nicer smoked chicken would have been preferable rather than the cajun-ish type chicken on it but, it wasn't bad! The chips weren't very crunchy, they were actually quite soft which is always a little disappointing. The serving sizes were great, a pizza and chips were plenty for husband & i. They wouldn't be our first choice, but for the movie discount, & the excellent service, we would come again.

Had an excellent meal and coffee here today. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Food was well presented and tasty. Service was fast despite the fact they were busy. Only recommendation was the coffee did not have the immaculate presentation as the food. Still my favorite place around Albany for brunch
Came here for breakfast. Sat outside which was really nice but started to get really crammed as more and more people sat down. There's not much space between tables which is fine but a little squishy when it's full. Ordered the eggs Benedict which was so lovely! Had OJ (orange juice) and hot chocolate. Both of which were really nice. Staff were really friendly . Will definitely try something else on the menu next time.
Nice interior with decent desserts... They have friendly staff and nice service. A little downside would be the price - $9 (or $10) for one brownie. Premium pricing is to be expected considering the central location, but the brownie itself was average.
Situated in Albany's mall, Paper Moon Cafe is towards the exit of the food court and is worth visiting. The staff are friendly, and welcoming and the food appetising. In the past I've had the pot pie, which was hot, tasty, and filling ; I've also had coffee and cabinet food as well, which were also good. They can get a bit busy, so expect a bit of a wait.
Whether you're after dinner, lunch, or a coffee, I'd recommend Paper Moon Cafe to friends, family, and followers.
Good food, slow service expected if during rush hour. Limited seating due to in a mall. Food was fresh and flavourful. Would definitely return.

Been here a number of times over the past few years and first I must say that the staff are always friendly, work like little Trojans and the service is fast. We have had breakfast items, been a couple of times for dinner but we mainly go for the beef salad which is most of the time top notch. Personally I would love it to be a bit spicier but loading it up with black pepper helps a bit. The items in the food cabinet always looks fresh and tempting. Thanks for your consistently good service
Mar/Apr 2017 Have had a change of owners recently I understand and they no longer have the same beef salad sadly. What they have now is OK but not up to the same standard as the old one as far as flavor and quality goes and I would have something else in preference. DId overhear others commenting in a similar vein so maybe something to think about. Pizzas were OK but if you are going to call one Spicy Devil, please make it spicy. Chicken livers are lovely as are the other salads. I have never encountered unfriendly staff, infact they have always worked hard and have smile on their face even when they are rushed off their feet. Maybe it comes back to how you as a customer treat them. They are not your slave, they are there to help make your outing enjoyable and if you get bad service from them maybe you only have yourself to blame. Just saying :)
This is a busy mall cafe that has an attractive food display, extensive menu and efficient staff.
I had an average latte here along with their coffee walnut fudge slice. The food I saw coming to other tables looked great and I wouldn't hesitate to come here again.
Customer service is good and a nice set up. Food is of good quality however I have noticed the quality is sometimes inconsistent.
I am a lover of Creamy Mushrooms and find on some occasions it is not as creamy and more runny, however there are still good flavours in the dish.
Coffee is good which is always a deal breaker for me but no issues here.
Really pleasant dining experience. We were a party of six and had dinner (7pm) at Paper Moon. Food was excellent. From the fish and chips to the steak and the lamb options - all dishes were tasty and delivered to our table quickly.
Service was good too. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Pleasantly surprised and will definitely be returning.
I've made many visit here at paper moon Albany I'd have to say this place never disappoints me in terms of service one of my favourite cafes situated in Albany.
Egg Benin had an outstanding plate presentation its standards were of an actual five star restaurant which had me surprised. Lovely service, menu was reasonable priced great for morning brunches. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
MEAT PLATTER AND GREEN BEANS SIDE...Really fantastic beans with beautiful macadamia sauce. Meat platter was great and decent amount of food. Only thing I could suggest is that the chicken maybe be pieces and not nibbles and not deep fried. Other than that really good flavoursum food.

We had dinner as a couple here on Thursday night. We used to eat here quite regularly under the old owners, but have found that things are not quite the same now. The restaurant looks grubby ( or is this just a it run down?) I had the market fish - trevally ( which I asked what it was when ordering, having not been told) and it came with quite crunchy bok choy ( ends not nearly trimmed), cooked vine tomatoes and kumara and a smear of cauliflower puree. A nice enough meal but lacking a bit of finesse. My husband had the lamb pot pie which he enjoyed immensely. It had a very crisp and brown flaky pastry top served in a ramekin. We had to ask for dessert menus after a while. When we tried to order the berry crumble, we were told there was none because of the contaminated berries issue. Bit stange given the berries are cooked and there are other sources of berries othet than China, but I suppose it's better to be safe. Must of the other desserts also came with a berry couli, so I enquired about that. Turns out that it what an artificial syrup, not a berry couli at all. Ended up with the panacotta which was very rich and creamy. Hubby the poached pear. It proved to be quite difficult to eat - could have done with being a bit softer, or being given a fork as well as a spoon. So overall, a pleasant enough meal but felt there was room for improvement.
Coffee is good. Food not much so. I come here once in a while normally with workmates having meeting. Sometimes it can really get busy with not enough tables and chairs.
Love the creamy mushroom here except the portion seems getting smaller now. Coffee is allpress which is nice, service is ok, a good place for breakfast in the shopping mall
I enjoy visiting Paper Moon Cafe every time i visit the mall. The eggs benedict is amazing! One of my favourite places for french toast - a must try. It comes with fruit also. I have tried the thai beef salad - was good. The food at the counter in cabinet is lovely too. The coffee is lovely.
Lunched yesterday at Paper Moon in Albany Mall. As usual it was packed but there were still tables available outside in the winter sunshine. There was a good selection of cabinet food, which appeared to be very popular with the lunchtime crowd, but we chose to order from the menu - fish & chips and the chicken lasagna. The fish was terakihi, moist and encased in a crisp and savoury batter. The chicken lasagna contained portobello mushrooms, pumpkin, spinach, and eggplant in individual layers, each bringing its own particular flavours, and topped with delightfully crispy curls of fried kumara. Both dishes were accompanied by fresh green salad, and were a good size and price for lunch.
My wife and I visited these folks for the first time today. Great service and great coffee!!! They we also very accommodating finding something for our 10 month old to have! Thank you and we will be back!!
I asked to make one Affogato which wasnt on the menu
Yet, they made me one, with the spinkle of cinnamon on top.
It was the best affogato I have ever had
I tried Chicken Lasagna and it was great too. The lasaga was decorated with fried kumura and it looked wonderful.
For my experience, Service, Food and Location were all good :)
We enjoyed a great Thai Beef Salad, which was a really good combination of ingredients and excellent service! It's nice to have the option of sitting inside or out, and still be part of the mall. (Seating outside would be much quieter, if you want to get away from the noise of the mall)
Went to lunch with a friend and found the service to be friendly and efficient. The prices were fine and the place fairly busy with a few tables free. My friend had the burger which she enjoyed and I had the chicken salad which was nice if you haven't been to the paper moon in mairangi bay and had their version.
I thought carrot was a strange item to include in the salad, it didn't go with anything else. That said the salad was nice and I will definetly be back. All in all, a good lunch.
Went here with a friend of lunch today, the food was amazing! I had a slow cooked steak sandwich with wedges. I couldnt fault the dish at all, apart from it could habe been hotter, it was a bit luke warm. The serive is where this cafe loses its marks for me. The service staff saw my friend and i sit down and theu just ignored us. After waiting 5min we went and got menus ourselves and still no one can to serve uo so we decided to get up and que in line to order. Once in the que a server came up to is and saod they can come take our ours which he did. It was all a bit more of a hassel than it sould have been. But the food was amazing :)
Came for an anniversary breakfast on a Sunday morning. Warm friendly service and great meals to go on top! Will defo be back!
Thanks heaps
Went to Paper Moon over the weekend and really had an enjoyable time. The service was excellent, the young man who was on our table was very attentive and efficient. The food and coffee was great!!!. It is a busy cafe and timeliness of the orders was good.. The only thing I have to ponder is the Hash Brown potatoes were not real Hash Browns and Onion Rings could be tastier and these 2 little items on the menu could be looked at. All in all excellent and atmosphere was great.
Went for dinner with my husband the other day before going to the cinema which is opposite. Have been there during the day a few times before to get a coffee and cake (I can highly recommend their lemon sponge cake). I was really impressed with the food. I had the vegetarian risotto and he had the steak which was cooked to perfection. I didn't have desert but my husband got the sticky date pudding which was very tasty. Will definitely be back!
I went there with my mother for lunch this week and had a really nice time. There was only the bar table available when we got there and sat down. A waiter came over and offered us a table outside with the heater on and thought we would be more comfortable. Very thoughtful of him! We sat outside and ordered a fish and chips and a harvest melt which was recommended by our waiter. We got told about the wine special and my mother ordered a wine from the Waipara region. Good food and good coffee. My mum had a carrot cake which was perfect. Our food, coffee and cake came very quickly and were cleared quickly. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend this place if you don't feel like sitting in the crazy noisy and busy food court!
Highly recommend Paper Moon Albany for a night cap after movies or even a meal during the day. Food is varied and healthy options are available. Nice place to meet with the girls - one of our favourites:)
This place was originally recommended to me by a friend as we were having a conversation about the best place to eat Eggs Benedict.
Turned up here with my wife and we were greeted with friendly staff and lots of smiles. We had the Basil Chicken Melt and the Autumn Harvest Melt (Vegetarian friendly). Both dishes came with shoestring fries, a small pot of aioli and rocket salad with a light dressing.
Both dishes were full of flavor and really well presented. Portion wise was slightly small but it would be good as a light lunch meal.
I guess the only thing I didn't like was the fact that the plate didn't sit firmly on the table so it made it a bit of a challenge to eat in a relaxing manner. It's not a huge bother but the overall experience was great.
Love! Good food good staff... Always good!
OMG the deserts at the Albany Cafe are unbelievable, we are addicted to the food and service 5 stars for deserts.
We even went late one night when they were packing up and kitchen was closed but the re opened for us to have desert, hows that for service.
Nice lil cafe, food and service always of high quality
Fantastic, fast service. French toast with bacon, banana and fresh fruit was lovely - perfect; not too heavy or sweet. Will be back.
Awesome presentation! The coffee was amazing! The French toast was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent even though they were super busy everything was out and to us in great time! Can't wait to visit again!....
We went again and exactly the same service it was awesome!
Won’t disappoint you, the food was great however the portion size could have been better. Nice place to take your family with variety of options choose from. Service was excellent 👌
The dishes were very well presented, the chef adds some originality and flair. The cabinet food looks delightful, and prices quite reasonable. Excellent coffee and friendly, efficient service.
I really wish I had of got the name of the barista but tonight was a bit hard for me working my first retail Christmas eve. But, my girl pulled through for me with the gorgeous latte art that I had previously on Saturday with my friend. She absolutely made my day and I will make sure to check if she's working before i decide to go there. Absolutely love it. Thank you, you beautiful lady, I hope you see this 💖.
The best eggs benedict I have ever tried. The combination of the sauce, bread and hashbrown with your choice of item is top tier. I have moved from Northcote to Takanini and still drive all the way back every month to try this.

Wow was not expecting that. Just had a fantastic breakfast here especially the French toast as seen in the pictures. Such a great variety of fruit and flavours with even some tiramisu puree.
The coffee is absolutely amazing, and the environment and staff are even better!
Friendly people and good food as well. Highly recommended
I've been twice now, and both times the cakes have been delicious. The staff are always lovely.
Really love this Cafe the sevice is always great and they do the best coffee in the mall
Love this place, we found it so well presented, would recomend their pistachio cheesecake.
👇First day of Chinese New Year 🧧 we woke up with lovely paper moon coffee : ☕️ x 6 🤣🤣🤣And We have chocolate 🍫 fish 🐟 with on top of it 🥰🥰🥰 welcome to bring your own cup👍 to save the planet 👻👻👻thank you😊😊😊
The best cabinet food around! I love how the favourites are always there. Apple crumble to die for as well as noodles salad and Mexican stack! Great service and nice atmosphere. We always look forward to treating ourselves at paper moon
Fab breakfast and the guy behind the counter has superb customer experience skilks
You don’t usually expect much from a cafe in a mall. But every time we come here, coffees are the best every time! Kids fluffy is actually fluffy and not just a warmed up milk like in many other places. Cappuccino is always hot and frothy and not flat. Barista gets 5 stars!
Just had the best fish chips I’ve had in a cafe, and the best thing is it came out on a steaming hot dinner plate. The coffee was hot n strong, Quick service, tasty food. Will be back soon. Cheers
My GF and I both love to frequent Papermoon Cafe in Albany mall as it has become our favourite, the food is always well presented and tastes amazing and the menu is robust. Our personal faves are the Chicken Filo, veggie scones & eggs Benedict, lots of delicious options and all very interesting options too, the food is not just typical types found everywhere, it's unique, the hot and cold beverages are also fantastic, the frappe latte is my fave. HIGHLY recommend this cafe!
Nice place, bit busy due to weather. We ordered French Toast and Mt Aoraki Salmon Bagel - both were delicious and cappuccino was good. Drinks came out within minutes and meals were bought out in good time. No waiting despite the cafe being full. Would definitely go back again.
