Came here for lunch with my sister and enjoyed some delicious food and drinks. šŸ˜Š The cafe was very busy when we arrived (around 1:20pm), but we were lucky to grab the only free table left. Service was friendly and we ordered and received our meals promptly with no hassle.

I really enjoyed my cauliflower (the slight char on the cauliflower really complemented the sweet and savoury taste of the quinoa and hummus) and the fries were a great side to share.

Weā€™ve been coming to Chuffed for a while now and are yet to be disappointed! The coffee is seriously the best coffee in town (Kudos to Mayank the Barista for a consistent cuppa)
The service is amazing and the staff are always attentive and friendly.
If you are lucky to get a table out at the back, the ambience is always lively yet cosy and intimate.
The menu might need some refreshing as there are limited options, however this works for us as we always know what we are going to have:)

Been here too many times to count. Their coffee is consistently great and the selection of sandwiches comes in handy if you need to grab something on the go. Stopped by for the chicken burger and it was awesome!

šŸ“ Almond Croissant
-----------------------------------------------
A hidden gem of a cafe, tucked down a corridor off the busy High Street. You'll be welcomed by a candyfloss pink neon sign in a moody little space. But there's a little twist, further in you'll find a semi-outdoor seating area with an entirely different atmostphere where you can just chill, relax, and coffee ā¤ļø.
Ohhhh and Almond Croissant was such a beauty, with chewy and sweet centre, just the way we like it.

I normally get the crumpet. I could taste a bitterness from my salmon crumpet for some reason but I really enjoy the maple and pear one when I go. The outdoor seating area is very nice and relaxing. The staff are always friendly too!

High expectations, from all high ratings heavy promos. The cafe was hidden away from the street, at the back of a building. It opens up at the back into a cozy courtyard, perfect for the sunny day, except for the hovering flys. Had the eggs benedict with cured salmon. Instead of the normal bread base, it was served on buttermilk ā€œbiscuitsā€. The texture of the biscuit was odd, and it left a floury & buttery mouthfeel. Think I wouldā€™ve preferred a normal sourdough. The service was friendly.

Had a lovely brunch with friends here. Nice and artistic decor in the cafe. Fresh sparkling water served and love it. The Salmon Crumpets are fairly tasty but not enough for a hungry stomach. Shall try the pasta in the lunch menu next time.

Came here for brunch, place was relatively empty when we arrived but came just before lunch rush I assume as it quickly filled. I ordered the sweet crumpets which were really good (cold which was unexpected but not unwelcome). Food was good, coffee was so so good. Service was fast and staff were really friendly. Would definitely come back

Chuffed is 'the' cafe to be at in Auckland's bustling CBD. At the end of a long mirrored hallway, a foliage-filled oasis is revealed. With hanging plants, a flamingo mural, and a smoking hot waitress named Renee, this cafe not only has the best Eggs Bene in town, but exceptional service to match. Would recommend Chuffed for brunch, or a quick single origin on your commute to work!

This is a nice little Cafe on high street with a great breakfast menu (haven't had the chance to try out their lunch yet). I enjoyed their outdoor setting, there was natural light and it wasn't too cold or too warm. I ordered the Cubano, while my friends ordered the salmon Benedict, the chook, and a pasta. My favourite was their Benedict, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the hollandaise deliciously creamy, and most importantly their carb was not bread but a buttery and dense scone. My Cubano was also delicious, with the thick toasted ciabatta, tender pulled pork, complemented by ham, jalapeƱos, and mayonnaise. Would definitely come back to try out their other selections

Had the ā€˜Gin and Citrus cured salmonā€™ and I devoured it within 5 minutes! This was delicious but wouldā€™ve preferred if the sauce on the side was a tad sweeter. Apart from that the place got pretty busy and we had to sit on the outside table which wasnā€™t ideal. All in all the food is what we were there for and we left happy and full!

One of the best places in the CBD!

A little hidden gem with an awesome atmosphere. The food and coffee are delicious, and the staff are super friendly.

Their zucchini omelette is one of the best Iā€™ve had! And I love that they have coconut milk for coffees.

Itā€™s always busy when I go, yet they have always been able to seat me no trouble. 100% would recommend!

Hidden away in High Street, you may need to look a little harder to find this place but Chuffed is definitely worth the extra look! It's cozy and tiny setting make it intimate and a fantastic place to have brunch or catch up with friends.

The staff here are excellent, they are all very friendly and willing to make your experience here the best it can be. The service is also good and I have had no quarrels in this department, food and coffee always comes out a a reasonable rate.Ā 

The food here is a real winner, it is absolutely delicious and has a good menu for gluten free individuals. I often get the chicken sandwich or the meatball sub and I absolutely love them, the flavours are awesome and the food is so wonderfully simple and comforting, which compliments the cozy setting. My partner often gets the banana bread which she loves and would definitely recommend. The only thing here that doesn't give this place the fifth star is the coffee. Unfortunately it isn't the best, it is okay but nothing to write home about. It is a bit of a disappointment as it is a really good brunch spot otherwise. So, if you are in need of excellent coffee then this may not be the place, but don't be deterred as the food is impeccable and the coffee isn't enough of a drawback in my opinion.

The aesthetic and setting here is also another winner and really makes the place feel cozy and comforting. It is super light and modern, with a ceiling that opens up providing a non-claustrophobic feeling in a really small space. So the space is very nice and makes you want to spend hours there conversing with your company which is extremely important. Therefore, it is a very conversational space due to the comfortable feeling. The seating arrangement is also good and fits well into the space.Ā 

Overall, this is a fantastic brunch spot that I would recommend to anyone! The food is awesome and comforting, the staff are friendly, the service good, and setting is great. It makes you want to stay there for a long time which is good because you won't be disappointed. However, remember if you a craving excellent coffee then this isn't the place in my opinion, but don't let that deter you. Awesome place!

Trully High Street's best hidden secret.

I love the ambience so much! The place is tiny but not cramped. It is very nicely decorated; has that minimalist shabby chic kind of vibe.

The food is delicious too. The sauce on the meatball sub is flavorful. The mixed mushroom is tasty.

A go-to brunch place!

A versatile cafe for a quick coffee fix, to catch up with friends, quick breakfast before work and even to have lunch during your lunch break. The area around the back is unique, equipped with warm fur on each seat and heaters so that you don't feel cold during the winter. Service is great and so is the coffee and food. I ordered the pear crumpets which is a sweet breakfast dish, with poached pear and cream served on two pieces of thick round crumpets drenched in maple syrup.

Chuffed iced mocha's are so damn amazing! every time i'm in town i get an iced mocha from here. I've only tried the iced mocha so i can't say anything about the food or any other drinks at this cafe. The iced mocha has ice cream in it which makes it sweeter so perfect if you aren't such a big fan of the bitter coffee flavour! The takeaway iced mocha comes in a plastic cup with a flat lid and flit lids on takeaway drinks bring a smile to my face and also make such a cute photo, defiantly recommend going here even if it's just to try the iced mocha, it's defiantly a yes from me. 10/10 for sure. I've recently come back many times actually too many times I'm way too obsessed with their Iced Mocha's they're so fricken good omg!!!!!!!! x

Picked the Salash chorizo omelette for breakfast. Sourdough bread was awesome but I wished the chorizo was a bit spicier. Manchego cheese was a nice touch. Venues tucked down a little alley way but not hard to find. They give you jugs of sparkling water they speak my language on that

Always the freshest, best muffins! I'm a bit of a muffin addict and have tried all of the cafes along High Street and Chuffed's are 100% the best.Ā  Great coffee too although it can be a little on the slow side (but if you're not in a rush then it's all good). Yet to stop in for a sit down breakfast/brunch/lunch but this is definitely on my list of things to do soon. Super friendly staff too.

I love coming into this place for brunch. I especially love the small garden/courtyard area at the back where we normally sit. The ambience kinda gives you a nature vibe stuck in the city. The staff are friendly and the food is good. I asked to make the mixed mushroom to be made vegan and that wasnā€™t an issue for them! So I was delighted. It tastes so good too! I had my iced soy latte and that was great too! Itā€™s a hidden gem this place amongst the buildings of high street, and itā€™s worth a visit :)

The last time I spent in Auckland I went to Chuffed both days. The first day I had the scone with avo and Salmon. This was well presented and tasted amazing. Next was the eggs bene with bacon. No faults here either. Coffee was well made too. Their customer service was great too. We nearly left a because we wanted to sit outside but the manager took great care of us and we were seated in no time.

Chuffed is a secluded spot on High St that lends itself to a charming atmosphere and outdoor seating. The environment can get busy so they have implemented ordering online to speed up the lunch process for those who are on the go.

We came for a Saturday brunch and were met with friendly service. Our main dishes consisted of Chuffed's infamous Eggs Benny, poached eggs on sourdough, a grilled cheese sandwich (not pictured) and a vegan coconut, blueberry and pear loaf for dessert. The eggs benny comes with melt-in-your-mouth biscuits and lovely bacon albeit the sauce - I was told - tasted like the packet ones you make at home. The poached eggs on sourdough was good, a standard non fussy meal. The grilled cheese was delicious, no skimping on the cheese and ham in this one!

My favorite had to be the vegan coconut loaf served with coconut yogurt. It was flavourful, indulgent and brimming with texture after each bite.

Overall, I highly recommend this place, not just because of the cosy environment but the food is well worth it and the variety will make you want to return for more.

Ordered chai latte and omelet. Coffee was awesome and the omelet was super delicious, and you will definitely feel chuffed with the outside dining area which you can enjoy the sunshine and the hustle and bustle of this lovely cafe. The only thing that maybe disappoint you is the long waiting time for your food to be served because this gem is super popular and this time we waited for nearly one hour to get our food on the table.

Totally agreed that this cafe is a hidden gem in the city centre. I ordered zucchini omelette with sourdough and first of all the appearance was totally instagram-able. Zucchini was really well pickled. I also ordered a snicker shake. The comment I would have for this shake is that it was really ā€˜bananaā€™ (thereā€™s banana included in the shake) but somehow the strong taste of banana seemed to overrule the taste of snicker bar and other chocolate stuff.
I personally found the food quite pricey (the serving was not big esp shakes or smoothes. But still worth trying it!

I am sorry to give a lower rating compared to the average. We probably ordered the wrong thing as most of us did not think our food were exceptional and outstanding.

We went to Chuffed for a group catch up. Waited for about 20 mins then got a nice table in the corner which was good. The atmosphere we quite like.

I ordered vegetarian quiche and a pot of tea, others ordered chorizo omelette, mushroom dish, same vege quiche, and coffees. We did not enjoyed the vege quiche as much (relish was superb though) where the omelette flavour combination was quite good.

I might be back for the tapas dinner but not in a hurry for the brunch.

On the + notes, they have a good selection of vegetarian/vegan dishes.

Decided to try out this cafe for lunch today after uni.
Cabinet food looked very appetising so we had a hard time deciding.Ā 
Got the ham and tomato quiche and the banana walnut loaf.Ā 
The flakey crust of the quiche was very nice to eat as each layer was able to be separated from the other. One of the best quiche bases I have had at a cafe.Ā 
The banana and walnut loaf proved to be a good choice. The outer layer tasted the best and the loaf did not need butter to enhance its already sweet natural flavour. It almost tasted like a cake itself. The sauce that came with the quiche was also tasted great.Ā 
Would come again to try the menu items. Environment was very calm and peaceful.

We were chuffed after our visit on Motherā€™s Day. Plenty of sunlight in the back room after they opened up the roof. This pretty little cafe was bright and cheery and the menu super interesting. We tried in house crumpets both ways, one with lime, gin and juniper cured salmon and a beetroot purĆ©e, the other a delightful ginger poached poached pear. The semolina porridge was super warming and berry compote could be mixed in to give as much or as little sweetness as required. I could see why the coffee was rated and I tried the Blackpower smoothie which was a well balanced blend of blackberries, blueberries, coconut and mint. All up a fabulous brunch and a happy mother.

My friends and I found nothing but amazing service at Chuffed and the food was truly delicious. Two out of three of us ordered hot drinks and this was on ANZAC Day so our drinks came with cute little ANZAC biscuits. When our waiter arrived with our drinks he noticed my friend with no drink was left out of the biscuit club so he brought out a biscuit for her! If that's not indicative of the service here then I don't know what is. You can see pictures of the food and how good it looks (it does taste good too) but I guess you never know what the service will be like so here is a review of that

Definitely one of the go to places for brunch if youā€™re around CBD. A huge plus for me is definitely the friendly staff with excellent service and the ambience which is warm, comfortable, stylish and welcoming. Most importantly the food is great also although itā€™s on the pricey end.

I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon and I must say I was impressed at how fresh and crunchy the bacon was without it being burnt! Eggs were perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce wasnā€™t as strong which is just the way I like it.

The menu variety isnā€™t much however everything they make is of excellent quality!

We got here as a group of 5 around 11am and ordered coffees, Chorizo Omelette, Eggs Benedict, Chicken Sandwich, Scrambled eggs on Toast, Mushroom Baguette and a Croissant.

The food looked amazing and tasted really good too. The Hollandaise sauce on the Eggs Bene is out of this world. Beautiful smokey flavour runs through it. However, the omelette was a slight let down. I was expecting a nice fluffy omelette but got a thin layer of egg instead :/

Great ambience. We finally sat out the back. Enjoyed the vibe. Our servers were great too - friendly and polite.

Will be back. Especially for the coffee!

Not too much surprising experience from this restaurant. It seems like all the dishes are not served from a restaurant but home. The ingredients are definite fresh and well-picked, all they need to do is mix them together and send to your table. Customers who pick this place to dive in may because of their convenient location and their quick services. Some people just order coffee or tea while they are busy on their business with laptop.

Had the chorizo omelette and a coconut cappuccino and I was very happy with my meal. The omelette had many strong elements but somehow they all went very well together.

The service was excellent and I loved that they serve sparkling water as opposed to still.

Good ambiance, not overly loud like many other brunch places.

Will be going back again.

Great coffee on a mid morning Sunday brunch! Have heard lots about chuffed and was pleasantly surprised that my expectations were met. Great atmosphere - sitting outside with the roof top and seeing skyline was awesome, love me some sparkling water and as mentioned earlier coffee was fab! The chorizo omelette pictured was also very yummy - something I wouldnā€™t usually order so am happy I did! All in all lovely experience & I will be back - great spot and not as busy as I thought it would be albeit there was not a spare seat in the house :)

Cafes have nowhere to hide when serving brunch. Meals are your simple needs and for the first meal of the day when people are starving or worse hungover, brunch is there to fulfil that void. Recently moving closer to the city chic apartment life, I am trying to devour myself into my new locals i.e city cafes, bars and restaurants. No more excuses on being too lazy to drive and park in the city. Ok so number 1 on my city eating comes Chuffed Cafe located on High Street.

Was almost giving up on finding a good cafe on a Sunday morning, but then I found Chuffed, a hidden gem in the heart of CBD.

The place is lovely, has a charming backyard. Staff is lovely, coffee is nice (Red Rabbit) and the menu is good, with also some cabinet food if you're on the run.

They also offer sparkling water, which is a plus for me.

Strongly recommended.

Tried Chuffed for Lunch yesterday. It wasnā€™t as busy as I was expecting. I guess itā€™s more popular for breakfasts. We tried everything from cabinet- Mushroom Roll, Poached Chicken Sandwich and Cheese Toastie. Iced coffee, berry smoothie and Iced Crosset Chai for the drinks. The food was delicious and was full of flavours!! Everyone loved it!!! The service was friendly and the decor was cute!! Iā€™m definitely going back again! šŸ‘ŒšŸ»

Tucked away from street view, we were really chuffed to have found this little ā€˜back alleyā€™ hangout. The atmosphere is laid back and the setup is interesting - perfect for a Sunday outing and quick bite to eat.Ā 

The menu isnā€™t huge but has a wide enough variety for breakfast (starting from $11) and a few interesting options for lunch with a number of pre-made foods, if time isnā€™t on your side. We shared a Poached Chicken Sandwich and it was mouth-wateringly delicious!Ā 
The only downside was the slow service, it is busy so you may have to be patient.

Stumbled across Chuffed by chance since a colleague wanted to grab coffee from here, and ended up pleasantly surprised. Such a delightful tuck away on High Street with serene, urban interior and friendly staff! Hot chocolate was good but can I say the quiche blew me away- best quiche Iā€™ve ever had and Iā€™m a huge quiche fan so ka pai Chuffed! It was quite big and fulfilling at a good price. Will definitely come back again during lunch breaks.

Came here for late breakfast during the week so not too busy... quirky cafe with friendly staff..smallish outdoor area but well setup... nice breakfast menu. We had the crumpets with salmon & side of smoked feta... yum.. and the mushroom medley with side of bacon... really nice too. Just personal preference I prefer still water for breakfast didnā€™t realise it was sparkling as they donā€™t ask/check.

The coffee is THE BEST coffee I have ever had (and I donā€™t use capital letters with abandon like that unless I really mean it!) Delightful hardworking staff who never made us feel rushed and took time to be helpful. The kitchen made one of the best most delicious and attractive custom omelette for the New Yorker, we have ever seen and tasted. My salmon crumpet was a delightfully subtle creamy little dish. Definitely going back.

Staff were attentive and bubbly, aside from a minor confusion in payment at the end of my visit. I got the eggs bene with bacon with a side of Avo and a black coffee. Everything was perfect!! beautiful hollandaise sauce which is hard to come by nowadays, most are way too rich for my liking but Chuffed has hit the nail on the head :))) Ambience was uplifting, even on such a miserable rainy day on Saturday!

Came here at a peak time on Saturday but managed to get a seat. Although it was busy the service did not fault with a cheerful and lovely atmosphere of the service how food came out in a timely manner as well as our coffees.

We came on a day that were out of chicken and salmon but nevertheless, what we ordered was still delicious! I ordered the eggs benedict with mushroom and this was delicious. My coffee was lovely too. Very pleasant cafe to be at and will be coming back next time im up on high st.

Chuffed is a hidden gem in the central city. When I went, it was one of the only cafes open during the holiday break and the courtyard was very busy. The menu is clear for those with dietary preferences. The coffee is good and is the food. I had crumpets (very fluffy and light compared to the rubbery supermarket ones) with avocado, beetroot and salmon. It was fresh and tasty - not too sweet which purƩe often can be. Would happily visit again!

We got the picked zucchini omelette and the smoked mushrooms. The omelette was so light and the feta went so well with the tart zucchini.
The smoked mushrooms came out less saucy than expected as most cafƩs like to do a creamy mushroom on toast. Nonetheless it was by no means dry. We both finished our meals with our plates clean which showed great portioning and great taste.

On our way out my eyes cast on a very tasty looking provolone scone at the counter which will definitely bring me back here.

Second time here, my first time was on a Sunday morning; the second at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon.

My impressions from the Sunday visit was average; didnā€™t get why everyone raved about Chuffed. But today I understood why.

Service is probably what hits you first when walking in; greeted by two very cheerful smiles behind the counter. I was going to get something from the cabinet at first but I ended up with a table (by myself ha). I got the Cauliflower and Quinoa Salad with a side of Smoked Salmon. The seating area was beautiful with sunlight peeping throughā€” loved the paintings on the wall too!

The quinoa was a bit dry and a tad hard, and quite frankly, a bit bland and hence hard to swallow. The cauliflower purƩe on the side definitely made it less of a mission. The cauliflower itself was both soft and crunchy at the right places, grilled and had enough flavour. The cherry tomatoes were the perfect touch to it! Smoked salmon was delightful, which I used to mop up the last of the purƩe and quinoa.

I originally wanted their Lamb Shoulder but they sold out :( will be back for that!

Finding ā€œChuffedā€ didnā€™t take to long for us considering it is not directly on a street, just keep your eyes peeled for the street sign above the sidewalk.
A very cute setting in the back of a city building, complete with an open balcony and roller-blinds to keep out the unwanted elements.
Quirky decor and street art surrounds the back-of-house that fits in well with the menu.
Choosing the poached pear crumpets with velvet cream was a fantastic decision by myself. A sweet toothā€™s dream. I loved the addition of the cream, as it mellows down all the sugar. If your not a sugar fan I would suggest sharing this with someone else...I almost finished the whole thing.
This was the best breakfast I have had in a while! Simple but re-imagined. If you taste each component individually it leaves you unsatisfied but all together is a dream.
Fairly busy when we went around brunch oā€™clock but had no issues with getting a table or noise.
When Iā€™m back in Auckland, this is my return list.

Came here on a Monday for lunch and the place was full. The service was okay as we were just left by ourselves when our food came. The day was pretty cold and windy, so thank god for the heater they had in the back.

We ordered the philly cheese steak and the lamb shoulders which was actually out of stock so they had to replace the lamb with crispy pork belly.

The crispy pork belly wasnā€™t that special because it had no distinct flavor for the meat itself (tasted like poached pork belly). The sauce at the bottom of the dish however, was sweet as it tasted like honey. Rather than flavors, this dish was full of different textures from the crispness of the pork to the soft crunchy texture of the chickpeas.

The philly cheese steak was a blast of flavors even though the bread was a little hard to cut and the food was warm. The steak was cooked and seasoned nicely to medium rare and the vegetables, along with the melted cheese, were all sautƩed and caramelized really well. The pickles, acted like lemons, had a crunchy texture and tasted sweet and sour which created the perfect balance for the sautƩed ingredients. This dish is more towards the comfort food, or hangover food.

I love this cafe so much! It might be on the bit more pricy side but it is definitely worth it. The coffees are always fabulous and their baristas seem to know their stuff and always make them perfectly. The decor and atmosphere of the place is so comforting, they have sheepish skin type things in their seats which I think is very cute. There are nice paintings on the wall that make for a nice photo if you're into it. Most of the people there seem to be corporate, but the way the place is, being a student I don't feel out of place as I do with some other cafes. All the counter food looks amazing and decently priced for what you are getting. Friendly staff here too. I will always be coming back to this place, wether if it's just for a coffee to catch up with a friend or for a meal to fill my stomach (and heart). I hope this place never changes

Standard brunch food with beautiful presentation and good, reliable taste. I would say the salmon crumpets and eggs bene were good, but not outstanding. The bagel laced with a bit of bacon bits does make for a nice base though. Eggs done just right. The coffee is nothing special but latte art is always something to marvel at. Service is good, I guess I'm just thrown aback whenever sarcasm is used by a waiter. I give 4 stars because the atmosphere is lovely and a great place to chill, especially when they roll open the roof, it doesn't feel like being in the CBD anymore.

Chuffed is a hidden gem in Auckland's CBD on High Street. They have a small courtyard out back, perfect for when you want a quiet moment to escape the city's hustle and bustle!

I came here with my extended family when they were visiting from New York. We were seated in the courtyard and snuggled up with blankets (yay for cafe's with blankets) under the heaters. We ordered a semolina porridge, the chicken salad, soup of the day, the cabinet white chocolate brownie and coffees. The porridge was AMAZING - it was super creamy and perfect in the winter cold. All the dishes were faultless but the highlight was definitely the porridge. I'd also highly recommend the white chocolate brownie in the cabinet. It is seriously good!!

The staff are awesome and attentive, the food is great and the setting/vibes of Chuffed are crisp and clean. Love!!

Proving to be popular on Zomato, we had high expectations for Chuffed. Visiting on a rainy Sunday it was surprisingly full and there was a short wait for a table. With the majority of seating out on the deck youā€™ll be pleased to find the area is well heated and very homely. The wall art on the surrounding buildings adds character and colour to the white walled space and blends in nicely with their own painted wall feature. We had mixed thoughts on the service. We had three different people serve us during our visit. The first guy was friendly and accommodating but the other two were a quite flat.

Starting off with drinks we ordered a large flat white to share. The coffee was good but we were a little disappointed that the equal sachets arrived on the saucer and not already mixed in when making the coffee ā€“ not a major, itā€™s just our taste preference but we had specifically requested this with our waiter. For brunch we ordered the Mushroom medley with a poached egg and the Mushroom eggs bene with avocado. The mushroom medley looked good and were well-seasoned, there was a nice hint of chili which wasnā€™t too over powering. I would recommend getting the poached egg to add a bit more variety to the dish. The bene was served on a bagel, which was unexpected and not stated on the menu. We werenā€™t sure if we were sold on it but it was a good bagel - fresh and soft. The eggs were done just right. The hollandaise sauce needed a bit more taste and we both agreed the mushrooms would be a lot better if they had the same treatment as the Mushroom medley dish.

Their menu isn't long but if we were to visit again I'd definitely give their sweet crumpets a go :)

This place is what my sister would call "my type of place" and by that she means that they cater to all types of people with dietary requirements.

The ambience is inviting and makes a good brunch spot in the city. I ordered the Confit Mushroom. It was rich in flavour, with elements of freshness. My meal was delicious. But my friends felt that their meals were more social media worthy than worth it based on taste.

There's a good cafe pantry selection, drinks and fast service. I would recommend this place.

Absolutely love this place for brunch/breakfast/coffee or anything really. The atmosphere is fantastic, the retractable roof really adds to the space and gives the indoor/outdoor feel, as well as letting heaps of light and warmth in.

The service is always friendly and really helpful, water is provided and orders taken efficiently.

I always get the poached chicken sandwich with a side of mushrooms and this has yet to disappoint, the sandwich is very filling and has great portions of chicken in comparison to some sandwiches you get at cafes from the cabinet. The mushrooms are always perfectly cooked and always presented beautifully.

They don't have flavour syrups for the coffee and you don't need them, as it is always brewed really well and the milk steamed perfectly. The smoothies are also really tasty, ratios are well thought out and flavours go really well together.

I love that they're also changing the menu from time to time so it's different (as long as they don't take the chicken sandwich off!), all in all this is my favourite place to chill, and for really great food at an awesome location. šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

The service was excellent, actually a perfect example how it should be in every restaurant. The food, we had the mushrooms with burgul and the zucchini spaghetti, was definitely much better than we have had in most places in New Zealand. But we were mostly pleased by the fact their menu has a lot of choice between good, healthy dishes instead of fish&chips or burgers, what 90% of the restaurants serve, we don't believe burgers and F&C in NZ are that good. Definitely go to this place for a variation on the mainstream dishes of NZ. Also absolutely fantastic coffee, best one we had during 5 wks of traveling through both islands. Their hot chocolate is made from milk and cacao instead of the fake hot water stuff other places serve.

TL;DR: Definitely deserves its place near the top of the Zomato popularity list. Cafe priced seasonal food tastes delicious, and makes for good instagram photos. Recommended: Salmon crumpets

One of the top cafes in terms of popularity on Zomato, so I had to give it a shot. I came here a total of three times. Here's how it went:

-Food (Practicality vs presentation)

Beautiful presentation with vibrant colours which were very appealing to the eye. In terms of practicality, not the best.

Salmon crumpets: A beetroot "smear" means you pretty much couldn't wipe up the tail ends of the smear without scraping your cutlery across the plate. The overall dish was really good - the avocado, bits of the beetroot smear, and salmon all worked together very well. I highly recommend this dish for first timers :)

Eggs benedict: The eggs benedict had everything piled high onto one half of the bagel, meaning if you wanted to ensure you finished the dish in a balanced manner (i.e. not being left with a whole half of an empty bagel), you had to move everything from one side to the other. Taste wise, it's just the same as any other ordinary eggs benedict. I do recommend asking if you can make the bagel a poppy seed one as it makes everything so much better.

Iced coffee: Tastes pretty good. Smooth coffee topped off with ice cream. Perfect for a sunny day, or if you very unfortunately are seated at the "fire table".

-Prices:

The prices are acceptable, standard coffee prices given the popularity of the cafe. You're also paying for freshness (seasonal appropriate of ingredients). The servings of food look fairly small but it is enough to make you full.

-Consistency:

This is where I had the most issues with Chuffed. There seems to be a lack of consistency throughout a lot of elements, such as cups used for coffee, presentation, and even service. One iced coffee cup I had was standard (see picture with two glasses) while the other was almost impossible to pick up given the shape and condensation of the cup.

During my first visit, someone who didn't appear to be a waiter (the clothes he were wearing were extremely casual, almost like a customer) came to our table and took our cutlery without saying anything - we thought he was stealing it for a split second.

-Ambiance:

Sitting outside is wonderful, though not particularly so if you are unfortunately seated under the "fire table". Though, staff members are very willing to put down the shade if need be. The overall atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly.

03/07/17 Update:
I will not be changing the score I had originally given Chuffed as I believe one bad experience should not diminish the previously positive ones. I would just like to express my disappointment in today's visit during lunch. While we were seated fairly efficiently, the service that followed thereafter was far less than satisfactory. My mother and I waited over 10 minutes to even be brought water and menus, during which tables seated after us were served almost as soon as they sat down. I had already ordered at the counter as the wait was becoming far longer than acceptable. We both had an appointment to attend to soon, but I'd like to believe I gave us ample time to enjoy brunch. While I would like to believe that this was a simple mistake or oversight by the service staff, it still doesn't sit well with me to have them look at me in the eye and yet not acknowledge our existence. I sincerely hope our next visit will be much more pleasant.

Really cute setting and lovely outdoor area that's covered but still gets sun. The best part of this place were the shakes! I had a Snickers shake and my partner had the Banana Salted Caramel one and they were both amazing and huge!! Really good value for money ($6) and we couldn't finish them. To eat I got the spring fruit which looked pretty and was nice but it was a small portion (lucky the shake filled me up!). My partner got the pork cheek with apple and fennel slaw. The pork was nice and tendor but the slaw lacked flavour. Food 3/5, drinks 4.5/5, service 4/5, atmosphere 4/5.

Chuffed is one of my favourite hidden spaces in the city! Perfect for those pre work caffeine pick me ups to start your day. Their pastries and cabinet food are amazing. But their breakfast menu is just delicious.. definitely try their crumpets! Yuuum! Always friendly service and a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.

The ambiance of this place is unreal! So cool! You are completely private from the busy road outside, surrounded by cool artistic graffiti. The staff are extremely friendly and chill, you get a cool cafe vibe from the moment of coming in with the barista humming and singing to himself.
Loved the menu, it's adaptable to suit any diet with switching out to gluten free to vegetarian dishes easily. Very cheap to! Our food come out fast and was absolutely delicious, the one thing that I thought could change was for the dishes to be slightly bigger. I got the corgette noodles and was still kinda hungry afterwards. Although you did have the option to add chicken or something but obviously it costs more and i thought they should serve a slightly bigger plate of noodles anyway. Would definitely go out of my way to come back though, and check out there magic locking toilet. If you can work out how that works, please let me know!

We came across chuffed one drizzly morning seeking shelter and some breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised at the whole look of the place! The staff are friendly and the waitress was super good dealing with my nut allergies. I had the avocado and pea smash which was really yummy, a perfect amount of food on the plate when paired with a bounty shake! My partner had the eggs on toast and added bacon, which was probably the thickest, yummiest looking bacon I've seen in a long time. All in all we were really happy with our meals and service here, I just wished there were a few more options on the menu!

I have been wanting to try this place myself for awhile now after hearing so many great reviews about it.

Located on High Street, this place was not easy to spot unless you specifically know what you were looking for. Once you turn in the corner it has an attractive, artistic sign.

Besides the cosy indoor seating area, there is also a back courtyard which is like a secret garden in the middle of this busy city. Such a lovely spot to dine at. The menu is beautifully crafted, the selection is not extensive, but every single item on the menu sounds appetising that we had a difficult time deciding!

Service took awhile, but they were friendly. And when the food finally arrived, it was definitely worth the wait. I knew this place would be good, but what husband and I did not expect were the 5-star restaurant quality food we were served, from the immaculate presentation to the delicate flavours. We were impressed to discover that the crumpets were homemade, and the texture was just amazing, especially accompanied with the divine lemon orange cream. I thoroughly enjoyed my bircher muesli which had sourness from the rhubarbs, sweetness from the pears, and subtle flavours of vanilla and spices. The flavours just kept developing in your mouth. It was full of surprises yet incredibly well balanced.Ā 

We are delighted to have discovered this hidden gem, and could not wait to come back to try their lunch menu. To be able to stand out amongst so many great cafes on Lorne Street & High Street, this place should feel chuffed indeed!

Came in here with a friend on a late afternoon. Ordered a cappuccino and an iced latte. Iced latte tasted a bit watery, maybe it was because of the ice. The cappuccino was quite nice, wish it was more thick and creamy. Maybe a bit more cinnamon would have been even better. I'm willing to give this place another go.

Initially, we couldn't find this cafe as it's tucked inside. Find the chuffed cafe sign which is next to a sushi shop and walk right into the white space. Don't be deceived by the small seating area when you walk into the cafƩ as most tables are at the back.

Food here is healthy, tasty and insta-worthy. Both me and my friend's orders were yum! Coffee here is great and service is good. Tables are rather closely packed so you can hear what your neighbours are saying but I really wouldn't mind when the food and coffee's this good.

Visited Chuffed for the first time. Buried away from the street, you almost wouldn't notice them if you were walking past quickly. First impressions when you walk in is that they're a small dimly lit indoor cafe, but then you realise that they have an awesome outdoor area that gets plenty of sunlight in between all the surrounding buildings.
Service was excellent; mind you, when I ordered a Bacon and Egg Bap, I then quickly changed my mind and told the server that I'd prefer a Banh Mi instead. When the food came out, I got my Sammie instead! I felt really bad telling the server that this was wrong because I had originally said this - but she was more than happy to take back and replace which was really lovely. I was so worried she'd get in trouble but I'm sure one of the staff just ate the Sammie instead.
The Banh Mi was delicious, especially considering it had no meat! Would have to be one of the best that I've had in Auckland.
My partner got an eggs Benedict.
We both tried their new shakes - great value, big cups that were seemingly bottomless. Had trouble finishing.
They also made a bit too much of their batch brew for the day so let us try that too, for free.
All up, great cafe, will definitely come back.

An all-round brilliant cafe.
The coffee was the best I've had in a long time (and I drink a lot). For breakfast, I had scrambled eggs on 5-grain toast, with a side of herbed kale. First things first, that 'side' was so generous, I was stoked at the amount I was given for $3. Secondly, IT WAS DELICIOUS. I've never had kale like that before, but I seriously want to go back and have more. The eggs were also perfect, and by the time I had finished I was super satisfied.
The service was also lovely, and the vibes out back are great!

I downloaded this app purely so I could express my love for this cafe. It is number one on my list of the best cafes in Auckland. Number 2 being Mary's and number 3 being Dear Jervois.

Why I love this cafe:
1. Incredible food. I have had a range of their dishes including the Portobello mushrooms. I can't go past their eggs Benedict though it is spot on every time.
2. PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE COOKIE this food item deserves a point of its own because it is next level and no cookie will ever do now that I have tasted it.
3. Every staff member is wonderful and it is evident that they love to work there.
4. The best spiced chai in Auckland.
5. The incredible atmosphere, from the front you don't see much but out back it is lovely and open with a beautiful mural and a fire place! Extra points for blankets in the winter. Cosying up by the fire place with good company and excellent food on a chilly winter morning is wonderful.

TLDR: This place is the best. Get the eggs bene, get the peanut butter cookie, get the chai.

Fantastic catch up venue within the CBD. Chuffed with their service: decent coffee and their team seem cheerful and enthusiastic (pun fully intended).

We came in on a busy Saturday afternoon and was not surprised to find that the place was packed, so we had to wait for a seat. Fortunately, it was a lucky day, because after about five minutes (which gave me plenty of time to look through their delicious cabinet offerings), a table was made available.

Our orders were taken, and our coffee and food came out in around 10 mins. Speedy service for a busy Saturday so points to them. I had their almond slice which was totally yummy while my friend ordered toast with jam and ..... well you can't really screw up toast and jam.

Showstopper: Fantastic catch up place with palatable coffee.

Overall Grade: B+, can't really give a higher grade as we haven't tried more of their food.

Had the recommended eggs benedict with Portobello mushrooms and it was definitely worth it! Have absolutely nothing to say about it.

To find Chuffed on Lorne street look for the 43 High Street sign and don't hesitate to walk inside. Nice atmosphere with heaters and wall paints and little visiting birds. Staff quite friendly but they can get quite busy.

Improvement could be a better drinks menu. Not much of a coffee or alcohol beverage person so I had the almond smoothie which was far too sweet for me. The other smoothie choice had kale hence I hesitate to try.
If you are a coffee person then that shouldn't be an issue for you.

Price is decent too. Would come back for another treat.

The food came out in good time and was really delicious. I had poached eggs on sourdough bread and was very happy. The atmosphere is very cosy and it has an artisanal feeling to it. The fireplace was going & it was perfect.

We were greeted when we entered, the staff asked how our food was and said goodbye when we left. Highly recommended & will be back again for sure.

I was sadly underwhelmed with Chuffed. The food was under-par. The poached pear which accompanied the crumpets was too hard, the bread which accompanied the omelette was toasted too much and was far too crispy and the flavours of both the omelette and the crumpets were good but not spectacular. The outdoor seating area is cute with the sheepskins covering the stools and the outdoor fire but it certainly did not live up to my expectations.

I had the portobello mushrooms with extra chorizo added on for breakfast and it was one of the nicest meals I've ever had. The meal was amazing by itself but with the chorizo as well it was just šŸ‘Œ
Staff were super friendly and the meals didn't take too long despite the place being really busy.
We were seated out the back in a really cute courtyard area which added to the atmosphere but probably wouldn't recommend on a rainy day as the people sitting next to us were at the end of the sheltered area and getting a bit of an unwanted shower in addition to their meals and we were getting splashed too.
Aside from the horrible Auckland weather on that day, the food was amazing and I would definitely go back.

Chuffed is a cafe quietly standing at the back of street. The entrance is on High street between the buildings. It is a nice place to have brunch but this cafe gets busy around 10-12.

They have great quality food, perfect formed coffee, homemade bakings.
Some of their mains are quit light meals, so if you need any help with choosing your order ask the friendly waiter.šŸ˜‰

I completely forgot this little place existed actually, looking for breakfast in the city last week I'm so happy I remembered it.

It's not common to have an off-street outdoor area to eat so that's a big bonus at chuffed. Lovely staff with a couple of little jokes on the way in made us feel very welcome.

We ordered two flat whites (which were sublime) as well as the chorizo omelette and the poached eggs and bacon, thick cut bacon for the win šŸ˜Ž My omelette wasn't the most exciting omelette I've ever had, but technically it was cooked well.

Would definitely recommend for breakfast in the city!!!

We always walk past Chuffed whenever we are in town. Their sign/painting was always so alluring and we finally stepped in after all this time.

The cafe is conveniently tucked inside of a building and any customers would have to walk past a hallway to reach it. It is such a funky, cosy little place with a fireplace and faux fur seat mats. I can definitely imagine myself visiting the place on a cold winter's day cozied to the fire with some warm coffee/tea and something yummy to eat. Everything looked clean, well polished and buzzing with people.

I ordered the Mushroom plate and my partner ordered a chicken sandwich. My mushroom was juicy and full of savoury goodness. It is paired really nicely with kale and yummy salsa verde, fault in it is there can be more sauce, it was very fragrant I couldn't get enough of it!
My partner's chicken sammie looked delicious and came in a generous portion. I didn't get a bite but he said it was a bit dry.

The staff were very attentive and most of them were friendly; it wouldn't hurt for one of them to break a smile once in a while.

We would definitely come back next time, their sausage rolls and chocolate caramel slices looked very tempting, and I'm always down for sweets...

Came here for brunch with a few friends. It was super busy and they didn't have a big table available but we were happy to just squish onto a small table. Luckily a table cleared up a few minutes after we sat down and the waiter moved us to that table.

The cafe has a nice atmosphere and is quite cozy and the staff are all very friendly.

Egg's Benedict is one of my favourite dishes to have when I come to a cafe and I must say, Chuffed did not disappoint. They used nice thick slices of bacon, not some cheap thin slices. The bagel was soft and fresh and easy to chew unlike some places I go to that have stale bread or bagels. The hollandaise sauce was perfect and didn't make me feel sick or anything which happens with some places.

Great food, great place and great service :)

We came here this past sunny Saturday lunch time. When you first enter the cafe seems small but at the back is a beautifully bright courtyard.
We chose to have lunch here due to the very good reviews. I ordered the portabello mushrooms with a side of bacon. My dining companion ordered the burger.
To be honest nothing was bad, but I think due to the excellent reviews our expectations were really high and we were disappointed.
I was expecting to be wowed. I think the biggest disappointments were the fsct that they didn't have cold drip coffee and the fact that the burger came with kettle chips. The menu did state that the burger came with kettle chips but for some reason we all assumed it would be hand made.
This spot is lovely for a coffee or a smoothie but I probably won't be back for food.

Oh yeah, the place is true to its name. I came here twice last week: once with burly hubby and the other with the girls. The place is busy with a lovely outdoor area. Not a kids place but great for brunch or lunch with reasonable prices and great portions. A couple of downsides: Coffee is so-so; sweet portions in the cabinet are tiny and expensive; and $7 for a small glass of juice is kinda kray. Other than that, I can't fault the food.

Went to chuffed cafe today with 2 other friends. It was quite full when we arrived (around 1pm). The place itself is a very nicely secluded partially open area with just enough sunlight and creates a beautiful ambience on a nice sunny day. Interior design is awesome!

The staff were very very warm and polite, had great people skills that really made the experience much better.

I ordered the chorizo omelette, which was reallyyy good, very tasty and had an appetizing look. When eaten altogether it creates a burst of flavours in your mouth. The bread on the side was quite difficult to slice but was still good. My friend had salmon crumpets with avocado which she really liked. The other one had bacon eggs benedict, eggs were poached perfectly and the bacon was so thick (goood). Hollandaise was also light and creamy - very nice. All three meals had little touches of leaves and flowers which gave texture but also made everything look like art.

Definitely one of the best cafes in Auckland, quite hidden but it's worth the price and the wait. Will come back soon! šŸ˜Š

Chuffed is a hidden cafe on high street where makes the best coffee in town I can surely say.

I only drink black coffee. since it has been really hot this summer I only have tried their iced americano. Their coffee tastes so good. It has its unique fruity fragrant and my friends who drink white coffee told me that their white coffee also taste very good.

The best part of food here is the THICK bacon. The thickest bacon I have tried at restaurants and cafes in Auckland. To be honest, I cannot say their salmon is amazing but their bacon is truly a masterpiece. I always order poached eggs on 5 grains toast and add bacon or salmon for extra. Last time I visited there, I asked for some tomato relish too. "Poached eggs on 5 grains with bacon and extra tomato relish" here I am sharing my secret combination for breakfast or brunch which you will all love xx

Service is on point. Staff are energising, fast and prompt. It has a modern, nature loving interior of which I cannot help but taking so many photos.

Love the interior design and the food not only looks good, it also tastes GREAT. We got the Portobello mushrooms, Angus burger, chicken sandwich, lamb shoulders (this was amazing!!), cauliflower salad, and crumpets with salmon.

Down to earth and relaxed atmosphere; central city cafe that is very inviting.

Had the portobello with cow feta and sourdough toast; it was amazing and very flavourful. Making something quite simple so memorable is truly skills.

Priced accordingly at 18$.

Awesome place! I so was not expecting the warm, funky cafe that was nestled away on a second floor of a building on High St. Love the places that surprise you.. In a good way. Chuffed is quite small inside, but the outside patio is so comfy and chic with sheepskin chairs and floral wall patterns. Staff are delightful and inviting, and there is usually a table straight away.

The menu has the main breakfast and lunch items- eggs, mushrooms, granola, burgers. But also has a couple of unique options, like the grilled asparagus and egg dish which I had today, and enjoyed immensely. Overall, the food menu is not that extensive, but the food they do have is delicious, good quality and fantastically presented. Their coffee is also very good! A few treats on offer in the cabinet too!

Overall, I would recommend trying out this cafe for a cool casual bite to eat. Good food and good vibes.

Chuffed is hidden away on high street and somewhere I always wanted to try! Headed over after summer school classes for a catchup. The coffees were delightful even though my friends one didn't turn out looking so nice haha probably because she asked for no foam but tastes good none the less. We ordered the cauliflower salad and portobello mushroom. Very nicely presented and great service too!

Love their urban and modern atmosphere
Their soup was yum and their toasted sandwiches are hearty and delicious
Prices are reasonable too and their staff were very welcoming
But not too many seats so may be hard to find a spot during peak times!

Nice tucked away cafe in town. The Reuben sandwich is very good. Saukraut and Reuben beef is not too overpowering and very well balanced on toasted bread. The salmon on home made crumpet is nice with classic flavour but does need a bit of salt to give it a bit more taste. The cold pressed juice is a refreshing way to get your greens in you.

Enjoyed a lovely brunch here today. Tucked away in High Street, this little cafe can be easily missed but is worth seeking it out.

They were pretty busy when we arrived, but we were seated with water and a menu each while we waited for an outdoor seat at the back. Just after placing our order, we were moved out back. Loved the design and the small touches here and there that made the experience special.

My salmon and avocardo crumpet was delicious! It felt super healthy and was light but filling. The cucumber, kale, pear and granny smith apple cold pressed juice was surprisingly good too.

My friend had the open omelette which he loved too.

Overall, a great little cafe and would definitely recommend!

Atmosphere was really nice here + interior decor. The waitress who served us was super nice, when we asked her what she would recommend for a gluten free option she offered us what she think we would get our money's worth. Me and my parter both order eggs Benedict, my one is the one with the bagel and I got mushroom with it. My partner got it gluten free with bacon - he said this was the best eggs Benedict he has tried because unlike most places the bacon is shown no love and he liked how they cooked it. We also order a hot chocolate and a camerallo shake which was super nice too!

First the service attitude is quite good. For today's lunch my friend and I went to The Chuffed.All the crews were busy during that time. But we didn't wait for too long(5minutes)and we got seats. Apart from that we also were cared so much. The crew came to ask us how's everything going for few times.
The atmosphere and environment were so awesome. You can see that directly from images uploaded by other customers.
As for the food. I must say it is also yum,tasty. You can see cooks focus on details such as decorations in every dish,which I consider as the beauty of the food. We didn't wait for too long time.
I highly recommend this cafƩ. It's worth going. The only drawback is it doesn't include large area. Cuz this is a cafƩ,it has its delicacy.

Chuffed is a hidden gem, located at the end of a little corridor off High Street. The little outside dining area is so cute! There are chairs with fluffy throws on them and when the cover on the ceiling is back, the natural lighting is perfect for photos!

I have been here twice now and loved both experiences. The first time I ordered the berry compote, ricotta house made crumpets. They were presented beautifully, but I personally didn't like the texture of the ricotta. It was strange. Apart from that, it wasn't bad! My iced mocha was so good though and it came with a scoop of icecream. Though when I ordered this the second time I came, it didn't have icecream anymore haha :(

The second time I ordered the salmon eggs benedict! Served on a bagel, it was delicious. Eggs were poached well and the bagel was perfectly toasted.

My friends got the poached pear granola and the porridge. Again, presentation was impeccable. They were also happy with their meals, though next time they would choose to order bigger and more filling meals.

The service here is so friendly as well! The wait staff are so polite and food comes out relatively quickly. Definitely a place to go when I'm craving a good meal and a good coffee on the side.

Great place for a late breakfast. A good mix of regular favourites combined with some creative newbies means there's something for almost everyone.

I would definitely recommend the poached chicken Sammy, that is also toasted with delicious bread! Another great steal is their freshly baked banana bread! Which can be served toasted! They have amazing coffee and the service is quick and efficient! The artsy deco is trendy and you don't even feel like you are tucked away in the big city! Also check out their bathrooms ...

What a stunner! One of the best cafes I've been to for a while. The outside area is beautiful, it creates a relaxing and trendy vibe, perfect for a date, catch up and even lunch meetings. I had the salmon eggs Benedict which I enjoyed very much! It came with bagels, which I absolutely loved. Bagels made the eggs Benedict 100x more delicious, and the salmon was seasoned with chai which was unique but very nice. My friend had the salad with chicken and it was really good! I'm not big on salads, but this definitely looked like a salad I would have. Coffee was good, I had the ice coffee, and at first it looked a little small but it was just the cup and turned out to be decent sized. Service was really lovely, the girl serving us was kind and took care of us really well. Overall a beautiful place to eat and have coffee, would highly recommend!!

Delicious meal at Chuffed today! Such good vibes and such a great cafe to help you escape the big city feels! Unfortunately no vegan options so I had to alter a meal to suit me, my friend had the salmon and avo crumpets, super cool because they cure their own salmon and make their own crumpets etc. I had the Brussel Sprouts dish with added mushroom and avo and obviously excluding the non vegan items :) was very yum and flavoursome with a balsamic reduction! Beautiful presentation of the food and helpful staff, can't wait to go back soon and try the new menu

Cool coffee/breakfast place on the High Street. Lovely outside area that was almost as warm as inside on a early October midday.
Had bacon on the side, never seen bacon slides so thick but it wasn't as tasty as I imagined. In fact most bacon hasn't been very good in NZ through my travels. But did enjoy the cheese toasty very much with a cold brew coffee. Well priced and great staff means it's definitely one I'd love to come back to.

This place is quite the diamond in the rough with it's stunning outdoor area, great service and unique menu, all the while being tucked away in the heart of High St.

I really enjoyed my first visit here, the sun was shining (a little bit too bright so we ended up moving) and the service was very good.

I got the homemade crumpets with salmon and avo cause I'm 'cutting' ha. and my friend, Cindy got the Wagyu
burger. I am a fan of crumpets so decided to try it and have to say it was good, not necessarily amazing but it was good. For $16 however, being the young adult that I am, I was hoping for more. The wagyu burger was good from what I heard from Cindy but the chips.. we weren't sure if they were made there or store bought.Ā 

With such, the service was great and the waitress even cracked a joke about whether we were taking selfies or taking pictures of the amazing artwork that their cafe looks out to. There's even a palm tree which adds some extra umph to the place. Certain seats even had little fur rugs on them which I thought was oh so chic and instagram worthy! It's therefore definitely a great place to relax/study, boost your mood, go on a first date even (eggs bene is normally a safe call/healthy options are also there/coffee available) and to just be by yourself and take in that sun or not - there's places to sit inside.Ā 

I would like to try out more food but what's stopping me from giving it that 5/5 is the food expectation that I have right now. Nonetheless the cafe culture in Auckland is stepping up and I'm certainly loving it.

Ā P.S. as you enter there's a giant mirror with neutral tones on the wall/floor etc so it's a great spot to take a casual #ootd :P

Came back and had the poached pear. It was a little sweet but still good and the presentation was beautiful !
I also got a soy cappuccino which was very good. I hoped to get a better presentation of the coffee but I'll be back to try that out šŸ˜Š

I went to this cafe for brunch to try it out. I ordered the eggs bene with bacon while my friend ordered the Lamb Shank. I thought the eggs bene was really nicely made. We were talking about how the key to a great eggs bene is fresh ingredients, and good hollandaise sauce. I reckon both criteria have been met. The bagels and bacon used were fresh and at a really good quality. The bacon wasn't oily either. The hollandaise sauce was perfect. It didn't taste too creamy or too salty. Definitely a good brunch place and would love to go back to try out their coffee!

Fantastic place strategically tucked away from the hustle and bustle, free from noise pollution which makes it the perfect getaway. Decor is a mixture of exotic, cosy but chic giving it the feel of somewhere warm and oversees especially with the ceiling that acts as a sunroof to let in the sun and keep out the rain. Coffee is smooth, rich and beautifully presented same goes for the meals. Not very many options on the menu but all are done to perfection! Wonderful portion sizes and both the flavours and textures of the meals are beautifully combined. Prices are fair and overall a really fantastic atmosphere. Definitely recommend šŸ‘šŸ¼

Chuffed = my no. 1 cafĆ© in Auckland as it ticks all boxes in terms of excellent coffee, outstanding food and second to none service. It was love at first coffee and now my regular haunt on weekends and weekdays... Not sure if I should be proud, or ashamed to say that I am addicted to the eggs benedict. The cafĆ© itself is vibrant, lively and artistic, and the staff are always welcoming/in general an awesome bunch of people. Special mention to the 2IC ā€“ you are the host with the most and just as nice to look at as the surrounding art-work. Being a Melbournite, my good coffee/good food expectations are high, but Chuffed you have impressed me! Can you please relocate to Melbourne with me at the end of the year?!

This cafe is such a great escape from the bustling streets of Auckland City, tucked away quietly on High St with a perfect outdoor patio area that's t is gorgeous during summer (and super cozy during winter too, with plenty of heaters to keep you warm). Iā€™ve been here a few times now, the most recent visit being on a weekday afternoon for a coffee catch up with a friend.Ā 

We sat outside and the waitress gave us menus, but unfortunately told us a short while after that the kitchen closed at 3pm (it was just after at this point). Luckily, there were still some cabinet food items available, so we both ordered the pistachio lemon loaf, and a cold drip coffee for me while my friend went with a classic flat white. I didnā€™t realise the coffee didnā€™t come with any milk, but was surprised to find that I actually really liked it black; cold brew coffee is definitely a favourite of mine and this one was great! The loafs were also exception, with strong lemon & pistachio flavours and the right amount of sweetness that was cut nicely with the yoghurt they served alongside it.

This place will always be a favourite of mine in the city. My other recommendations include their pear, banana and cinnamon smoothie, as well as their crumpets which are seriously amazing!

Feeling pretty chuffed at chuffed :) Had a nice brunch here with some friends and I loved this place! I like the vibe, the outer covered area, the benches and the cute pot plants om the table. Along with its lovely staff, Chuffed sends a very cool and relaxed vibe and it's a great place to eat, chat and spend your whole afternoon away sipping their coffee or tea.

I had the reuben sandwich which was really good for its price as the portions were huge. The bread was toasted to a lively brown colour and was very crispy, a downside would be that I found it slightly dry with not enough sauce. I also had their stay snug tea. It had a very strong ginger aroma but the taste was more citrusy and lemony. I also tried my friend's shake (caramello for today's flavour). It wasn't too sweet and was really smooth.

The presentation of the food were nice, simple and really appealing to me.

Chuffed is definitely placed on the high range as you need to pay extra even for adding bacon to your eggs benedict! But overall I would visit Chuffed again! Great date spot too ;)

This cafe was cozy and cute! Hidden in a little area on High Street, this cafe was a great place to catch up with friends :3

We ordered the poached pear dish, eggs benedict, duck leg, and fresh juice. I enjoyed the pear dish the most, same as my friends. However, I would say it's not very filling for lunch as a meal on its own. The fresh juice was yummy, as most fresh juices are xD

Im not a fan of eggs benedict so that dish wasnt on my hit list. However, my friends seemed to enjoy it.

The staff are very friendly but beware because the cafe is really small and from what I remember, there are no more than 15 tables.

If you want a light and simple meal, I'd recommend you go try Chuffed

Very cute outdoor/undercover seating area. Went on a very cold, rainy day but felt very nice and cosy being there. They have a big fire place and some outdoor heaters. Service was good. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my partner got a caramello smoothie along with a meat toastie. The smoothie was great! I had a bite of the toasted sandwich, was yum but needed something, more salt maybe? The eggs Benedict was yum but I was a bit put off by the very fatty, thick bacon. The bagel was also extremely hard to cut through with a butter knife. I asked for a steak knife but they said they had none and that it was on their list of things to get. I ended up getting too frustrated with trying to cut it that I gave up. I love an eggs benne when it comes with a bagel so that was a plus but if you're going to order that then prepare yourself for some sore fingers/hands after!

Chuffed most definitely lives up to its rating! Despite being tucked away, this delicate little cafe has a chill and natural atmosphere, we were served by two people, our waitress was polite while our waiter was funny, witty and an absolute delight!

I myself had the wagyu burger which was a thick juicy beef patty, with lettuce, slightly pickled cucumber, tomatoes, onions, cheese between a toasted bun topped off with a cute little gherkin. Delicious! Was the perfect burger and although I didn't understand the kettle chips initially, it adds a bit more finesse than fries, as well as one simply couldn't finish fries and a burger that fulfilling!
One friend ordered the cardamom poached pear granola and she thoroughly enjoyed it, especially smothering it in syrup, the other ordered the portobello mushrooms with creamy goats cheese, it was good but nothing special about it.
Our waiter and waitress were attentive and our overall experience was simply divine.
Will definitely be coming back!

Seemingly tucked down the end of an elevator well, there is a small kitchen and serving area with seats out the back on some kind of internal courtyard. Service extremely efficient and friendly with a salivating range of dishes on the menu make this a come back type of place. I had homemade crumpets with salmon and avo - tres delish.

Wandering down High Street you could easily miss a cafe to be chuffed about. Did that work? Not really.Ā 

Taking you from the cities street side to a relaxed outdoor veranda Chuffed offers you the perfect afternoon relaxation spot. A with a retractable roof to keep you covered from the rain or to let in the sun pour in, you can enjoy the cafe's outdoor area in all kinds of weather.

Lightly coloured walls keep this inner city space looking clean and spacious. The outdoor veranda area, is made relaxing with a cushioned booth running along one wall and an open fire to keep you toasty in the morning.

Food and coffee impresses also. I have only had the eggs benedict so far off the menu and I'm keen to try a couple more items.Ā 

With friendly service and a relaxing atmosphere, you can't do much better than spending a bit of your day in Chuffed.Ā

Sooooo good! Just the second time I have been here but I will be back many more! Today I had the Reuben sandwich and it was delicious, loved the sauerkraut and pickles and mustard! Last time I was here I had the wagyu burger and it was very good. Great little spot hidden away with a lovely courtyard and great atmosphere. (Not sure why the pics are so zoomed in?)

A truly suburbia cafe feel within Auckland's big little city!! Me and razelle had an amazing time giggling away and loving the food out here. Razelle got the eggs benny and I got the lamb shank.

Needless to say, the lamb shank is amazing šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ it's so smooth and nicely done with a mix flavour of tomatoes and herbs! Had a little bite at razelle's eggs benny and found that the hollandaise sauce and bagel is amazing!!! My belief on a nice eggs benny is to have use fresh ingredients and nice seasoning. Which chuffed is on spot for that respect.

Perhaps the only reason why I'm giving a half mark away is from 5 is because I think there's not enough staff to accommodate the customers at times? Especially peak hours for brunch? They have good service but sometimes having only a few waiters around is not that helpful at a busy environment

Great atmosphere, very cosy with the fire going and blankets available to use if you're feeling a bit chilly. I came here today to get a bit of study in and to get brunch. I got attended to right away despite the cafe being very busy and service was great! Didn't wait too long for my food and was always checked up on in a non-intruding way. I had the charred Brussels sprouts and green tea as well. I loved how the dish looked and it tasted just as good. The balsamic reduction, along with a pinch of salt and pepper on top, made the Brussels sprouts taste good enough to eat by itself, its subtle bitterness being balanced by the vinegar and the salt. I love anything with anchovies so I really enjoyed this dish!

Amazing. Incredible. There aren't enough words to describe how chuffed I was with Chuffed.Ā 

Best bacon in Auckland, best coffee in Auckland. I was blown away by the service, and it's quickly become my regular coffee joint. There's also a very attractive chef who works there which made my latte extra frothy.

Came here for lunch with a friend and I'm glad she managed to get us a table! By the time I arrived both the indoor and outdoor seating were taken. Lovely setting outside and nice decor.

I have heard great things about their cold drip so it was definitely the first thing I wanted to order! I was lucky enough that there was enough left as the waiter told me they were just about to brew another batch - good timing for me! It was divine. I haven't had coffee in a while and it was exactly what I needed. The brew was great. I'm not usually a person that drinks coffee without sugar or milk but this has opened my eyes and I'll definitely be considering this more - if only all coffees were like this!!

I ordered the cheese toastie to accompany lunch w/ provolone and gruyere, gherkin, chives and branston pickle. It was the perfect mix of sour/tang from the gherkin and pickle and cheesy goodness. The portion was also big! I only just managed to finish the whole thing.

My friend ordered the portobello mushroom dish w/ sauce verge, smoked cows feta, sourdough. She said I was one it the best mushroom dishes she's had and she was also surprised with the portion size- much bigger than she thought!

Overall Chuffed is a great place and I'm looking forward to coming back here and trying something new!!

Came in for a breakfast to start my work day. It was a little hard to find, with the entrance sequestered away within a building. Once I found it and got inside, the decor has a lovely homely feel with a fireplace, with excellent service who was happy to make a recommendation and took interest in having a chat with an overseas visitor

Happy to recommend, will most definitely be coming back again next time for the lunch menu

There's so much hype around chuffed on instagram and I find it to be one of those places that genuinely deserves the hype.Ā 

Cutting to the chase, my friend and I were promptly served and greeted as we entered the corridor to chuffed. Chuffed is tucked away in an odd location, but maximises the light and has a fresh, open and relaxing vibe. The decor is beautiful and would drive any instagrammer wild haha.Ā 

Onto the food, I ordered the balsamic mushrooms on toast with a poached egg on the side. This was the most delicious and simple meal, executed perfectly. Everything about the meal was delicious and made me realise why I love mushrooms so much, good filling portion sizes and presented beautifully as expected. My friend tried ordering their famous crumpets but was disappointed when the vege toppings were run out, the staff dealt with this very well and offered her many different alternate options, but she chose to have a plain eggs bene which she found to be well done (nothing special as she only got the egg on an english muffin).

We also both ordered drinks. I got some fresh juice, which was extremely refreshing, good for breakfast and she ordered one of their kale smoothies which was good but not particularly suiting our tastes, it is though apparently quite popular.Ā 

Overall, very very good service, delicious, well presented food. A must try.

Really cute atmosphere and seating area. Food was pretty good but my friend and didn't think it was worth what was paid. I got the Eggs Benedict which was nice, however the bread was overly toasted so was a little difficult to cut through using the knife. My friend thought that they would actually provide their own 'kettle chips' however she sadly received the ones you can buy from the supermarket. Great service though :)

Really cool little place! Went there for lunch today - I ordered the charred brussel sprouts which came with toast, 2 fried eggs, anchovies and toasted almond slivers. It was bloody delicious. At $16 I feel like it was a good price for a 'trendy' (cringey word) cafe. Flat white was perfect, hot and strong.Ā 2 of my friends got the caramello milkshake or something similar, I tasted it and wished I hadn't because it gave me drink envy.Ā Other points - LOVE that they were playing Phaeleh, beautiful chill sounds. Hopefully next time they'll have space outside because I've heard it's pretty lovely out there. I also really liked the relaxed and conversational service.Ā Chuffed bro!!

One of my favourite places to get coffee. Now the service tends to be abit slow at times and the working hours can be improved upon, but the food and the coffee definitely make up for it; it's easily one of the best cafes in town. And I've tried an exhaustive number to say the least. Cafes around the CBD are popping up so rapidly, but quality unfortunately, is something that isn't present in most.

Chuffed is different in the sense that the cabinet food is just as good as the coffee. You can tell they take things more seriously here; the food's definitely at another level in comparison to the other highly popular cafe that's located almost directly opposite.

If you're looking to get a muffin or cheese scone, try theirs once and you'll never look at another cafe muffin the same way again.

Also have had a few things from the menu and really found the flavours of the dishes to be well balanced. Can't wait to try a few more things from there in the upcoming weeks!

Everyone keeps saying this place is a hidden gem, and it totally is. I was a little worried I wouldn't find it because one of the reviewers below said it took them 20 minutes into find the place. I was worried I would have the same fate. Thank god we saw the sign and found the place relatively quickly. The seating area in the back is amazing. There's a fire place and heaters to keep you warm in the cold weather.
I ordered the lamb shank and it would cook perfect, just falling off the bone. It came with couscous, feta cream, and a capsicum tomato puree. I hate the taste of capsicums but was pleasantly surprised that the puree has been made in a way where none of the capsicum taste came thru. My friends had a wagyu burger which we all found the meat to be a little bit gamey. We were a little surprised when the menu said it would be served with kettle chips, we were expecting shoe string fries with the kettle flavouring. We were surprised to receive actual kettle chips from a packet on the plate. Not complaining, just found it peculiar. My other friend got the poached chicken sandwich and he had no complaints.

Overall the food is pretty on point here. Prices are not rediculous. However, we did find our waitress quite rude. She didn't seemed to want to serve us and found is annoying (?) She served all other tables with a smile except for us. We hadn't asked for any special treatment apart from an extra chair for another guest. Full marks if service was better. She seemed to be the hostess of the place?

Heard about this place through Metro. Also heard it was a hidden gem.. couldn't be more true as it took me a good 20 minutes to find this place! So glad I did in the end. I've been twice now in two weeks. First time I got the Eggs Bene and man, you can always tell the difference between a good eggs bene and a standard one. It was delicious, fresh, and came served on a bagel! The second time I got a Reuben Sandwich which looks small, but is incredibly filling and delicious if you like sauerkraut! Coffee has been perfect both times and the space is awesome. Love how they can adjust the roof for the weather. I'll be back in no time

Whether it's for a hot chocolate to-go or a chai latte on the patio in the back, Chuffed has always been the place of choice. This little cafƩ's blend of coffee beans really hits the spot, be it a cold drip or a flat white. The service there is equally fantastic. If a great cuppa and a cosy atmosphere is what you require, pick Chuffed.

This cafe is a little taste of K Rd/ Ponsonby on High St. I have been here probably about 10 times and have never been disappointed. Really delicious sandwiches, eggs bene and eggs + salmon.

Chuffed is my regular coffee haunt and not just because of proximity to work! Staff are always friendly and happy to have a chat, and there is always something delectable on offer.Ā 

The outdoor area is a great place for relaxed weekend breakfast, or bringing clients for a casual meeting. I love the quirky artwork across the walls and relaxed outdoor decor.Ā 
It's the little details that make the biggest difference - perfectly toasted breads with their eggs, and the best savoury muffin and scone combos that you wish you'd thought of yourself!
Huge thumbs up to the Chuffed team!

I've been here twice now and I have to say this is probably the best coffee I have ever had. I know that's a big statement to make but you have to experience it to know what I mean.

Once you get into Chuffed, you'll wonder where this place has been all this time! Located in the hustle and bustle of High Street, inside however its a very nice escape. The decor is amazing and is truly one of the hidden gems in Auckland.

I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it looked great presentation wise. Eggs came out perfectly and the portion size was good too. Service was very quick and staff were very friendly. If you're looking for a new cafƩ to check out in Auckland that is a little bit different, I would highly recommend this place.

As it is one of the Metro top 50 best cafes in Auckland - the title was self explanatory for both the service and coffee here. Had a soy mocha and a long black - both were superb. Soy usually has a bitter aftertaste when it's oversteamed however the coffee was creamy with just the right amount of foam and temperature was on point. Highly recommed Chuffed coffee! The prices of the coffee were cheaper than chain stores but the quality doesn't reflect this.

I was here for a function and the team served up a lovely spread, buffet style. I'm not one for medium rare lamb, but I threw caution to the wind and tried it with the accompanying gravy and mint sherbet...yup I meant sherbet, 'twas the bomb dot com ?
The green beans with hazelnuts were like having Nutella with beans and it works! Ham, roasted potatoes, salmon etc etc, just tasty tasty tasty.
Wrapped it all up with a yummy mousse birthday cake, although I think that was brought in. The espresso I ordered did the job of 'diluting' the sweetness and had the goodness and richness of coffee beans.
Oh and their ginger ale makes my top 5 of ginger ales.
I definitely need to make a visit on a 'standard' day and see how this place fairs. But if my friends who had their function here frequent the place every Saturday morning then maybe that's a "Just Juice" sign...

Great place to eat at! I recommend this cafe for anyone that likes eating out. It can cater for special occasions too. I had a great time here with a friend. Once you find the place you are struck with the sight of a colourful and artisitic sign welcoming customers in. Inside the place's design is very unique and modern with art displayed. The cafe had a professional/casual atmosphere. The waitress was polite in letting us know the dishes that they were unfortunately sold out of. She also was happy to explain what the ingredients were for an item my friend and I queried about on the menu. Great customer service overall.

This place can get quite busy that some of the options run out quick! I ordered a hot chocolate and a chuffed style cheese toastie sandwich. Both were well-presented. My hot chocolate arrived first. The taste was very good with a nice concentration of chocolate. It felt like 15 minutes past before the sandwiches came. The cafe was busy at the time we visited so the wait was understandable. The sandwich was very interesting, it tasted like no other sandwich I've eaten before. Clearly thought was put into the mixure of ingredients. The flavours of each mixed together when I tried it and combined, they worked well. To conclude I enjoyed both the drink and sandwich and they exceeded my expectations of what they would taste like.

I can only vividly remember the exact details because me and my friend went here the yesterday around 2pm. We went in not knowing what to expect because it was our first time visiting this cafe with like a 4.9 review so I really had some high expectations. At first I thought there'd be more seats indoors and less outside but what we saw was the opposite. There were some lovely seating outside with pillowy chairs and really comfy looking sofas attached to the wall of the cafe. I really liked sitting outdoors because the lighting was also good hehe. I had no idea how to order and when we first came in the lady from the cash register asked if we were going there for lunch and she told us politely to sit outside. Service is obviously 5/5. This also shows when the waitress came to get our order, she was so nice and friendly. She told us that like majority of the (cheap) options on the menu was already sold out so I was only left with two (cheap-ish) options. Either the chuffed reuben sandwich or the cheese toastie. I didn't know what the first option was so well and she explained that the cheese toastie apparently was her favourite so I chose that too, so did my friend. She mentioned every time I asked her bout an ingredient from the toastie she'd say it was just cheese but in fancy terms lol. For $12 at a high rated cafe in Auckland CBD I guess it was priced ok although (I'd still recommend they lower it to $9 and something cents at least. The scenery was pretty amazing too with some really cool trees and the view when you look up looks surreal. The wall art was also really artistic. The simple and nicely designed decor matched the whole look of the cafe. It came about 10-15 minutes later I think which I thought was a tad bit too long. The presentation wasn't bad but not the best either but still appealing. When I first took a bite it tasted weird and eccentric (oddly unique) taste. I guess cause I haven't really tasted "branston pickle" before it was new for me. I kinda began to like it as I was eating it but I feel like the branston pickle stood out the best as my first time trying it out. The cheese didn't have too much flavour but I reckon the chives and shallots were pretty good with the cheese. I didn't taste too much aoli cause I mainly only tasted the sweetness of the branston pickle and the gruyere and smoked provolone cheeses. Some really exotic flavours going on and I'll defo wana come back to try out their other dishes that aren't sold out. I was originally keen on getting the salmon baguette which sold out and also the homemade buffalo mozarella so I'll just try them next time. I recommend that they should have more variety and have more stock of ingredients for their most popular dishes so that they don't sell out all the good stuff.

I was told by about 3 different people that I needed to try this cafe as it was amazing and I definitely wasn't let down. The cafe itself is so quaint and inviting.
I had the eggs benny with bacon and a gingerbread shake and they were both amazing! The bacon on the eggs benny had to be the best bacon I've ever had! So delicious. The eggs on my meal were cooked perfectly, however on my friends meal one of her boiled eggs was over cooked which was slightly disappointing.

This cafe is tucked right at the back of a commercial building on High Street. It's hard to believe there's a quirky hidden corner perfect for work lunch break.

Their balcony is the most popular sitting area away from the busy traffic noise pollution. You can enjoy a variety of their gourmet sandwiches or even just coffee and sweet treats.

I've ordered their Chuff Reuben sandwich and fizz to cool down after a busy work morning. If you enjoy pickles and a lot of vinegar flavors, this will absolute meet your satisfaction.

I would definitely return to try their sweet items, breakfast menu and their coffee!

There are not that many cafe options mid town so this is an awesome find! It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle on High St and has an amazing courtyard. We had the toasted cheese sandwich (aged Gruyere, and pickels) and the pulled pork sandwich. Both were very tasty!

Plus points: nice courtyard, good decor, friendly staff. Food is good. Downside: had to wait about 20 min for a burger and crumpets, which may be ok for dinner but over a weekday lunchtime, it would be appreciated having notice of that so we could have ordered something that would arrive quicker. Crumpet with poached egg and smoked fish was good, though crumpet not as soft as I had expected. Egg was poached to perfection however. Looked like it had some nice sweetie treaties in the cabinet though I abstained this time.

Chuffed is a cute little cafe at the end of a corridor off High Street. Make sure you look out for the sign, otherwise you will miss it! I had only heard about Chuffed by readings reviews about it in magazines and on websites, and could not believe it when I found out that it is just up the road from my work! I have to thank Yatchi for taking me to this place, otherwise I would have never found out how great it is!

Upon entering, the bright mural on the wall amazed me - it is stunning. I was also very surprised by the courtyard out the back. It is sort of like a hidden paradise away from the hustle and bustle of High Street. There is an open fireplace, cushion seating and decorative hanging plants.

From the menu, we tried the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($10) with ciabatta, house made BBQ sauce, apple, cress and pear celeriac remoulade and the Roasted Wild Mushroom Sub (also $10) with pear and Whitestone Windsor blue. Both were delicious, but the Pulled Pork Sandwich was definitely the stand out of the two.

I will go back to Chuffed, because I enjoyed the vibe of the place and sitting out in the warm courtyard. I would also love to come back to try one of their hot chocolates topped with homemade marshmallows. Delicious!

Met here for a hot chocolate and fell just a little bit in love with the place. It was quite late in the afternoon, so we didn't have time to order any food - but after taking a good look at their menu, we definitely want to go back for a bite.

The hot chocolates we had were absolutely amazing, and came with homemade marshmallows - so impressed. My sister and I were thrilled with this, and they were far superior to regular marshmallows.

The thing that really got me was the beautiful murals throughout the place, they made the whole place feel a bit quirky and different, which I love. And their "outdoor-ish" dining area was gorgeous, complete with blankets and a gas fireplace to keep you warm. It was so lovely!

Definitely a great place for a meeting, and have to say I'm looking forward to going back for brunch one day soon.

Looking for a lunch place during the week?
Drop in to Chuffed on High street, hidden down a hallway that looks like office lifts

Smart casual eating spot, good stop for a quick work lunch
Staff is friendly and food in the cabinet was tasty
The menu looked like your standard breakfast menu so I opted for the Ciabatta with pulled pork, apple, pear and celeriac roumalade and homemade bbq sauce.
Nice quick lunch
Would go back to try something off the menu next time

So I've been back and is now my go-to for a good lunch, the main meals and sandwiches are delish. I always opt for a smoothie too.
The main I really enjoyed was the fish - see pic

I swear this is Auckland Central's hidden gem. I only recently discovered this place, all thanks to Yatchi. Oh how have I missed such a gorgeous place when it is so close to my work. The interior is so simple and cute, with an awesome mural in the front and a cozy court yard in the back equipped with fireplace, perfect for warming up over a cuppa in the colder season.

Will have to edit this review again, once I go there for lunch after exams, but the first time definitely was not a disappointment. Like the name, I was absolutely, well, Chuffed :)

Chuffed is one of my favourite places for breakfast or lunch in the city. I love that they care about their produce being as free range, organic and high quality as possible, and it all tastes amazing too!

We booked the cafe for my company's function. My guests are very happy with the food. The cafe played relaxed music and it has good atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the night!

Chuffed a nice cafe with some great bird died on the walls and murals on the buildings just outside the cafe that you can see through the windows. The avocado toast was delicious and this place is definitely worth a visit.

Lovely brunch in a cute outdoor seating area. I was a little disappointed that they had recently changed the menu without updating the website and now seem to have fewer options (no crumpets šŸ˜”) but what they do have is great, I had the avocado toast with cured salmon on the side which was particularly good, my wife had the French toast and also enjoyed it.

While trying to kill a couple of hours after landing in Auckland I found this place. It was very comfortable and the scrambled eggs on sourdough toast were quite good. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The place is cute and a little funky.

What a lovely spot for brunch. The options were all amazing. Great service is a small cafe tucked down a corridor off High St. Take the time to search out this place.

Tucked away, accessed through the street level corridor of an office building, surprisingly roomy once you get out onto the dining deck. Great coffee - small flat white with an extra shot was smooth and balanced. A range of beans available for sale. I didnā€™t eat - the food that was coming out for others looked great. Iā€™ll definitely go back!

pick a outside seat if weather permitted. brown hash in Eggs benedict with bacon is housemade and really crispy and yum! hollandaise sauce is a little bit sour for me.

Hidden secret in Auckland CBD. On arrival we were greeted with sparkling water (at no additional cost) for our party of 5. We didnā€™t book so we were extremely lucky to get a table. It was a Tuesday so I would recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment as it became quite busy. The food came out super fast and the service was friendly. The meals were substantial and filled our bellies. We felt like we were eating at a local cafe instead of the CBD as the city noise was minimal. Glad we stumbled into this wonderful cafe. Highly recommend a visit.

Made a reservation. However, they didn't ask for our reservation, but we got seated really quickly anyway. It was quite busy, so I would recommend making a reservation if you do go. The food was really nice and big portions which were very filling. The restaurant has a nice breakfast vibe and helpful staff. Definitely recommend going for breakfast or brunch!

Wow - what a find! Excellent food and such a creative menu! Very kind service. I wish I had found them before the last day of my trip... I ended up getting two things and hoping one keeps for the flight! And, fellow Americans, if you're getting desperate for a drip coffee, they have a lovely iced drip!

Good coffee and food, very nice place to sit in covered outdoor area. The cafe wasnā€™t busy but the food was still very slow. Some of the staff seemed very uninterested and were not pleasant to talk to, especially when asking a question about the menu and they did not really know the answer, nor did they bother to try to figure it out. Still a nice place to visit.

Would return. Decent coffee, hidden space, good brunch options. Latte was a good temperature, milk foam was par. Pricing par. $6+ large. Doesn't take AMEX.

Food was excellent, and I loved eggs with toulouse sausage. Coffee was also good but not the best coffee but maybe my expectation is high as I am used to coffee in Melbourne. Service was good but the waitstaff seemed to be confused.

There is only 1 word for this place....Awesome. the coffee was on point, the breakfast choices were well balanced and the food was exceptional. If there is a line, it's worth the wait, we came here twice on our trip and we will be back again next time.

Great hidden away gem in Auckland. Really interesting menu with great coffee to accompany. Plenty of seating around the back so donā€™t be mistaken when you see a more traditional coffee nook when you arrive. The crumpets are amazing!!! Absolutely worth the trip :) Great spot for a break when shopping the clothes stores in the area.
