I was quite impressed with the creativity of the Rosebank bene! Yes, the bacon was slightly on the chewy side and the little amount of hollandaise seemed like melted butter but honestly, all the flavours expected from a bene were present, visuals of the dish was on point and the service was lovely. So overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come again. Another thing I'd like to add is not to do with the establishment but more towards the person before me, leaving a 1 star review - totally not called for. Although I slighlty agree on the bacon part, its a bit ridiculous to expect massive dome-shaped crispy potato skins to come 'fried' and not deep fried. Seems like they only created a profile just to leave that one review, no pics to back their claim up either...

We reserved a large table at the The Rosebank Coffee & Kitchen and upon arrival we were glad we did as it was very busy. Staff were welcoming and friendly, there was a good range of tasty food and coffee. Overall a great experience.

The staff are lovely and it was very nice of the kitchen to make a takeaway salad for me even though the kitchen was not open for another 20 minutes... Generous amount of chicken in the salad, lettuce was crispy and fresh, but it would be nice to have some other salad ingredients other than just lettuce (e.g. tomato, cucumber). The apple pie was also delicious. Will definitely be back.

Nice modern cafe tucked away in the industrial side of Avondale. We ordered eggs bene with beef on the bone and it was quite difficult to cut off and found it quite fatty. The rest of the dish was pretty good though.

We really like the slab bacon here. The coffee can be a little weak, so we just get a double shot in a small cup, and always a lemon meringue pie to take away if they have it. It's a nice atmosphere, the tables are not too close to each other. Excellent service.

A little gem sitting in Avondale’s industrial district. Food and drinks were on point - I ordered an eggs bene with miso salmon and a latte. The eggs were poached perfectly and there was the right amount of toppings and salmon.

The environment is really nice - modern, airy and spacious. Heaps of room for families and a semi sheltered, dog friendly outdoor area.

Only dropping a star as the service was a quite slow despite it not being super busy (was at approx 3/4 capacity) - it took about 30 minutes to get served. Might have been a hiccup or there was a sudden influx in people, but it’d be useful to provide and estimate beforehand if the wait is expected to be that long.

Service – Excellent and helpful, from the hall staff to those working in the kitchen (thank you for the tomato sauce 😊 ). There is a sign saying wait to be served upon entrance, but the hall staff were busy so after a wee wait we just made our way over to the counter, no issues.
 
Food –
We ordered 2 x Rosebank Bene; one with miso cured salmon and another one with Bacon + mushroom. On both dishes I loved the avocado smear and presentation, both had hash rostis cooked to crispy perfection. My favorite was the salmon one, where they load on a lot of salmon. Bacon and mushroom are diced in to chunks on the latter Bene.
Drunken Mushroom – This was a great vegetarian dish, loved the puree especially the white one which has a strong tasteful flavor.
French toast – We ordered this with streaky bacon, and presentation was playful and pretty. A lot of food in one plate. I thought this lacked maple syrup but I have a sweet tooth so this is my personal preference.
 
Modern, clean atmosphere with enough space even for families. No problem with parking either.

Possibly the best place for brunch in the area. Highly recommended. You get good value for the high quality food, well presented and the portionsa are generous. I really like their drunk mushroom. Their eggs bene are awesome, you get a hash brown (I think) instead of the normal English muffins or bread as the base. Super tasty.

Really lovely spot for a casual brunch.
Ordered the wagyu beef but was told is not available so changed to short ribs. Beef was a little bit dry but the flavour is good.
I like the texture of the creamy Gnocchi but just wish there could be a bit more of the toasted hazelnuts to add on a bit more crunchiness:)

Taste: the french toast was immaculate according to my friend. The açai bowl was pleasant but nothing extraordinary for me

Value:
Great value!! Proportions are great for the price. The Zomato Gold promotion applies to the entire menu which was an added bonus!

Ambience:
Talk about modern & aesthetic. The exterior design was just as awesome as the interior design. Basic girls be having a photo shoot out here. It’s located in a slightly busy industrial area but it’s not too hard to navigate

Customer service:
Tad difficult to get their attention even when I was waving my arms around in the air. Perhaps a little understaffed but that’s understandable. Very pleasant upon interactions though. One lady could smile a little more or get some rest if she had a rough day

Other comments:
Unique options to choose from the menu & it’s friendly to customers with dietary needs. The food took quite some time to arrive on our table, maybe around 15-20 minutes. Maybe it was because the chef was taking their time beautifully decorating what we ordered—#notcomplainingx

Came in for lunch on a Tuesday, it was moderately busy but service from the barista (who also took our orders) was wonderful. Coffee had great crema and flavor, and food was worth the pricing.

Drunken mushroom had the most delicate cauliflower puree, and mushrooms were perfectly cooked and full of umami. Green beans were pretty average, seemed just sauteed without any spice. We also ordered cut of the day which was lamb rump, and everything about this dish was perfect - my mom said she couldn't believe lamb rump could be cooked so tenderly and evenly medium rare throughout!

Will definitely visit again if we're in the area!

Nice decor, friendly n attentive staff, good food but not happy with the amount of bacon in our eggs bene, in other cafes they give 2 strips of bacon, but here they give you bacon bits. Quiet expensive coffee in my opinion considering the cup size they give you.

Claimed Zomato gold membership 1+1 for the first time and was not disappointed. I ordered the eggs benedict with wagyu which were served interestingly in cube shape. It was savoury and best eaten together with the polenta, otherwise it can come off a tad strong. The capuccino was was good but took a little longer to get served.

Overall the service was amazing, I felt like the staff looked after us, apologizing for the delay and asking how the food was. The ambience was also amazing, I like the high ceiling and hip feel to it. Wouldn't have tried it it wasn't for Zomato Gold Membership.

WIll come back again.

Stumbled upon this place and the atmosphere was lovely. Staff were friendly and attentive, quickly getting us menus, water and asking for our drinks choice.
I chose scrambled eggs on midnight baker loaf, with avo and bacon. It was a rather pricey breakfast ($30 - I also had peppermint tea) but the eggs were cooked exactly how I like them, and the food came quickly. Would’ve preferred streaky bacon but it was still delish!!

Cabinet food looked devine - would love to try a donut!

4/5 - standard breakfast options, but done well, however looses a star due to price. ($8 for bacon...?!)

There's a wee little gem tucked in and around all the industrial workshops and factories of Rosebank road, it's called Rosebank Kitchen.

A diamond among all the cheap run bakeries, pie shops, Subways and Pita Pits of the area.  A chic and modern looking outfit which acts as quite the oasis on cold, wintry days when the thought of downing another 6 inch Meatball subway sandwich does not excite.

The lunch menu is small, too small IMO.  I like a focused menu, but the lunch menu here feels like an afterthought.  If you're not interested in eating breakfast for lunch, you have 4 options.  A plate of veges, Gnocchi, Chicken Salad and FOD (fish of the day).

I've had the Gnocchi twice, the first time I was blown away by the quality of the dish, the care that had gone into each and every element, it was balanced, it was pillowy, it was sexy.  The second experience was quite different, heavy, unbalanced and much less refined.  It was very clear to me that a different person had cooked the 2 meals, so disappointing.  I did write to the cafe and gave my feedback in comparing the two experiences, I never got a reply, but I do hope the feedback was considered and consistency was the message. 

Luckily, if you're not wanting to eat breakfast for lunch and one of the 4 lunch options doesn't excite you, they have cafe styled cabinet food to tempt you.  Today's sampling was the Reuben sandwich with Potato skins on the side.  The Reuben was toasted enough to turn the cheesy insides into molten goodness, the pastrami tender and the sauerkraut offered the perfect rebuttal to the Reuben's richness,

"Bugger me!", I muttered under my breath as I bit in.
Winter doesn't stand a chance against sandwiches like this.

Avondale eatery is on the Rise. As is this gem. Came here on Sunday on brunch. We got acknowledged as soon as we walked in. Their menu looked amazing. The cabinet food looked good and the deserts looked good too. I had long black and flat white and I must say their Barista is awesome. Coffee was really good. We ordered Waygu beef sandwich and gnocchi. They were both so delicious. So many components on the plate and it all worked. We ended with some lemon meringue pie and OMG, it was soo good. Highly recommended place to go. If you eat too much, hit up Snap fitness.

This place has got to be one of the best hidden eaterys in West Auckland.
We had a private party there prior to attending the Pleasuredome show and couldn't fault it.
We also tried it for lunch prior and thought " yeah" The service was spot on. Must try the pork rolls, there are pork belly slice inside a bun, stunning.
They also offer an tumeric chicken salad. It's a combination of Cos lettuce, chicken, coconut and orange and lime, this combination just explodes in your mouth.

Located on the corner of Rosebank and Jomac Road, the carpark entrance is on Jomac Road.

Stopped by for lunch and was fortunate to get a table without booking since it was fairly full. We were warmly greeted at the door and escorted to our table. After a short wait we received menus. Didn't have to wait too long to get our food and drinks ordered. Apart from the menu, they also had food cabinets with goodies like donuts, tarts and truffles.

The hot chocolate was nice. The food was even nicer. I had ordered the lamb special and it was quite special. It looked and smelt quite impressive and the taste was really good. Adding the different components on the plate gave different flavours and textures. The lamb was well season and cooked nicely. We even got some dessert to eat later in the afternoon and it was delicious.

What got me was how well the place was run. Even though it was full, things didn't stand for too long and everything was running quite smoothly. It was easy to just sit back and enjoy the food.

It's heartwarming to see a beautiful kitchen strive in the place I was born & raised; still relatively new yet they've made such an impression and I think it's safe to say that their masterful presentation is a big part of the reason why. The floor-to-ceiling windows, the exposed beams & varnished concrete floors, reminiscent of the surrounding industrial park; yet the oak decor, the marble counter & cool-coloured ceramics will make you forget just exactly where you are. The prices are a little steep if I'm honest but as the food came out I couldn't help but appreciate just how well the meal was presented, it was as if I was consuming an edible piece of fine art. My photo doesn’t do it justice. One of my top 5 breakfast spots for sure.

Thank god for Rosebank Coffee and Kitchen. This industrial end of Avondale is sadly a bit lacking, but Rosebanks presence makes everything a whole lot better. This cafe has found its feet and hit its stride. i've been coming since they opened, and now the service is running like a well oiled machine, alls AOK here. The Rosebank benedict is so jolly good. Coffee is always hot strong and smooth. Love this place and pop often. Even the decor is beautiful. A big space, but beautifully turned out.

This place is abit more upscale compared to your typical cafe. Came here weekend just gone. Don't know how its positioned in such an odd place but its def worth the visit.

THE FOOD

Omlete (3.5/5) - Loved the omlete and the sauce inside of it. The meat was cut on top and worked peferctly in unison. I think what would've taken it to the next level would've been some cheese ;)

Eggs Benidict (4/5) - My flatmate had this one. He loved it alot more. He also loved that the bacom was chopped so you wouldnt have

Potato Skins (4.5/5) - So apparently this is actually a common dish but was rather new to me. My flattie explained to me its usually disappointing. I took the risk and ordered anyway....soooo goood. Was crunchy and well seasoned.

THE ENVIRONMENT (5/4)
Definitely a a chill place. The decor was quite trendy and usb plugs readily availible. Very spacious yet warn (it was rainy that day).

THE SERVICE (3.5)
So the only fault I have here was that our waitress was really attentitive but then I believe here supervisor sent her on a break leaving us with no one assigned to tale our order. Otger tgen that the stafd were very well versed in every meal item and very responsive and feiendly. Without that little hiccup i wouldve rated it 5/5 for service.

WAS IT WORTH IT?
The prices are a little step but worth the treat. Happg customer here.

Nice local cafe with nothing else of a similar standard around - great to have it in the area.
Nice indoor/outdoor flow on a corner site, and plenty of parking on the road if the carpark is full.
Small but varied menu with beautifully plated dishes. The avocado was off the menu being out of season so the gnocchi was recommended. The best eggs I have tried in relation to perfect poaching. All items well balanced although the crumb was a bit salty. Added a side of slab bacon. Coffee was very well made. The pork is also a really good choice. Eggs bene was again a little on the salty side.
Service was the manager was awesome - friendly welcoming & engaging. Other service friendly but a little slow to take orders & deliver coffee - think there were a few new people on.
Overall a good experience so will be back

Updated review: My first review of this place was in March 2017. I have been back since and What a difference! Service was excellent. Ordered the Eggs Bene with hash brown, salmon & chimichurri. Simply delicious. Coffee was good. It’s great to FINALLY have a great cafe in our neighbourhood.

***** March 2017 *****
As a local, I had to try out a welcome addition to the neighbourhood. The cafe is a beautiful open space, really well appointed. The cabinet food looked delicious. We walked in & it wasn't too busy. The coffee was ok. I ordered the French toast. While the presentation was impressive, it was style over substance, there was a small amount of sauce & that made the French toast taste very dry. If it had a bit more syrup, it would've been great. My friend enjoyed her "Bene". What really ruined the experience was the service, or lack thereof. The cafe was nowhere near full. It took some time before our orders were taken & even longer for our food to come out. Two male staff seemed to stay behind the counter while one waitress seemed to do everything along with the barista. I hope for their own sake, & those of us locals who love good food & supporting local business, that the service starts matching the quality of what comes out of that kitchen.

Nice meal at a rather upmarket cafe for the area. Plenty of parking, spacious restaurant with lots of seating. Menu was small, and could do with the addition of a salad or two, but there was cabinet foods as well. The seafood boullibaise risotto, the cheesy mushroom omelette, the eye fillet steak and the avocado poached eggs were all lovely. No issues with the food except that it took a little longer than we would have expected. All the dishes looked beautiful and we could tell there was effort put into presentation. Our lunches were followed by a piece of one of their many delicious looking (and tasting!) cakes and slices. Great selection of teas, really good coffee. Clean plates all round - a sign of a good meal! Will be back here again.

We’ll admit it, when it comes to gastronomy of epic proportions, Avondale ain’t the first places to pop up in our heads (aside from Woodworks, which we admit is pretty magical). Rosebank Coffee & Kitchen blew our biased judgements out of the water with first-class interiors, mouth-watering textures and the best potato skins you’ve ever had in your life. You won’t find any teething problems in this new opening, as the seasoned staff comes from foodie corners like Farina, Ostro and Little & Friday, no wonder everything’s top notch. We particularly appreciated the creamy scampi with a dark caramel nut-butter vinaigrette, the time taken to perfectly plate each meal and our waitress taking the time to explain the best way to brew organic rose tea at the table. 

There’s also an elevated area available for parties up to 15 people, if you’re reading this, book a reservation now and invite us please?

I came here for lunch the other day and it is now one of my favourite cafes. Industrial, trendy vibe, and incredible food with fresh, quality ingredients. The service was some of the best I've experienced too, we were seated promptly and all staff members were so friendly and personable.

We ordered the avocado with goats feta and bread gnocchi with mushrooms. Each dish was beautifully presented, the type of calibre you would find in Ponsonby, viaduct or Britomart. The flavours, textures, everything worked so well together and was truly unique and different.

Non-pretentious cafe serving amazing food, highly recommend!

So good to see a place like this in the Rosebank areas, where you basically can only find average bakeries with low quality pies. 

Menu has good options, coffee is nice, and you can also takeway some cabinets savouries and sweets so you don't have to get your snack from the next Gull Station.

I tried the slow cooked pork bun and it was *amazing*, probably one of the best I've ever tried in my life.

This is probably the restaurant a lot of people who works nearby was craving for. Don't expect it to be cheap, but quality comes to a price.

This a sparkling new and well designed cafe. I expected it to be noisy inside because of the expanses of concrete and glass but it was surprisingly muted, despite being quite full. The high ceiling must help disperse noise, and perhaps they have some really good acoustic dampening in the ceiling.
The food was excellent. Breakfast options were relatively limited but there was a mix of the expected - eggs and toast; French toast - and the unusual, such as the bread gnocchi. I had the French toast as my daughter wanted to try that but also have scrambled eggs on toast. The French toast was good but, I think, a bit over the top for a breakfast option, with the array of various crumbs, sauces and pastes on the (slate) plate.
We ordered a couple of sides as well (don't judge - my partner was there as well!) and this is where the cafe earned some big brownie points. We had the hash browns with spiced apple incorporated into the mix - very tasty - and some outstanding asparagus with buttery breadcrumbs.
The coffee was very good, they provided free sparkling water to the table, and service was personal and speedy. We will be returning soon.

This is not a budget café. You will
pay city prices. But you get what you pay for. The décor is glass, steel, wood,
and concrete; spacious with that fresh feel you get from running water and
plants (though I don’t actually recall any). The staff are friendly and
welcoming, and even at their busiest serve you promptly. The menu is
uncluttered, ordered into am and pm with well thought out dishes and a
selection of sides to make the meal you want. The food is an event for your
mouth. The only time I have been disappointed, I was in a hurry and grabbed a
coffee and one of those brioches you seem to be able to get at any café. It was
dry and possibly stale and I binned it. I suggest trying something you don’t
recognise, something made on the premises, you will be rewarded. I am so glad Avondale has a kitchen of this
quality now.
I have been meaning to update this review for ages. The bulk standard brioche thing was very temporary. Everything in the counter cabinet is now as awesome as the rest of their food.

The atmosphere is great, the customer service is excellent and the coffee is delicious. It is confusing not having any visible menu and the one that was in place looked like a napkin so it blended in. I originally came to have lunch but couldn't find the menu so grabbed a coffee instead. I can't wait to see what the new menu looks like and I really hope this place takes off because it's so close to work that I can see us holding many staff meetings there.

Greeted the moment we walked in the door and immediately seated. My latte was great, and our food came out very quickly despite the cafe being almost full. I had the omelette which was very filling but lovely and flavoursome. My friend got the bread gnocchi and eggs - the gnocchi was a huge hit and definitely the highlight of both meals. Service was fantastic, and I loved that they had sparkling water! Only lost half a mark for only having 5 brunch options (good for indecisive people though)!

We went yesterday at Rosebank Coffee and Kitchen and well, we will definitely come back very soon. We live in the city and heard about this new place in Avondale. The cafe decoration is beautiful. Large windows everywhere, industrial materials, cost at the same time. Carlos, one of the partners, is very friendly and make you feel comfortable. Their menu is very interesting at first sight. It's not like very cafe around the corner. If you feel having an eggs Benedict.. NO ! They succeeded to serve great food in a cafe at a very affordable price. We had Lamp Rumo and Crab and we are our plates in 2 minutes. That was DIVINE !!!! The plates were very well presented (gastronomic almost) and tasted great. We had two glasses of wine and an apple pie for dessert (very good too). If you are after something quick to eat they also have a cabinet food with sandwiches, pies and other sweet treats. I DEFINITELY recommend this place and I'd rather drive for 10' from the city and have an amazing food than just get a poor eggs on toast around my corner. Thanks team at Rosebank coffee and kitchen. You made my day !!

A great new opening in the industrial area of Auckland, Rosebank and it wasn't a miss. Place was packed on Saturday morning (they will be open Sundays soon) and it was worth a drive from other side, so don't let it let you down and just go.

Menu is not as big for breakfast options but got something to choose from and also lunch has got many more offerings.

Great coffee and service. Very friendly team and all smiling. French toasts were amazing and unusually made with banana caramel and other ingredients that just match like milky chocolates on top - yummy! Gnocchi with eggs were great as well and very tasty!

Highly recommend to try it out and see what could be found in industrial areas of this beautiful city!

This is a very smart new cafe with a limited (but tasty!) menu and a cabinet that is simply a work of art.

We visited on Saturday morning and the place was packed. The staff were buzzing - all very cheerful and helpful and quick to take our order - almost TOO quick, as our coffee order wasn't quite right (a latte instead of the requested mocha).

The biggest downside for me was that there was apparently only one highchair for the whole cafe, so we ate with our one-year-old on our knees. Given how many families with young children I saw (I had to laugh when I saw four separate daddy-and-toddler pairs exploring the wee lawn outside!) I'm sure they'll need to buy more to keep the weekend crowd happy.

We kept our breakfast order simple. My husband got scrambled eggs and toast, which was tasty but he would have liked more than one piece of toast. I'm not keen on eggs, so was disappointed that the only non-egg item on the breakfast menu was granola. I would have liked a hot breakfast option! I ended up getting a couple of sides instead. The bacon was a really thick and tasty piece - almost ham steak sized. I also got the german hash, which I LOVED. It's soft inside but golden and crunchy on the outside and comes with an apple sauce which shouldn't work but does. Definitely a re-order for me!

I couldn't resist a sweet from the cabinet and got something to take away. It was really, really, REALLY hard to make a decision - they have an excellent and beautiful selection! I ended up with a s'more. It's a chocolate tart piled high with goopy, sweet marshmallow and decorated with chocolate and caramelized hazelnuts. The marshmallow would be too sweet if it weren't for the fact that the chocolate is bitter (almost, but not quite, burnt tasting) so the whole thing worked together really well. Very decadent, but not too rich to enjoy to the last bite.

The ambience is modern. It's almost an industrial space, very open and clean-feeling, with lots of plants and touches of wood to keep it friendly. As I mentioned above it's not terribly family-friendly, but I hope this changes. A few highchairs would be all they need. There's space outside to run around and since they're next-door to Jump I'm sure they're going to have a few young customers.

Food was excellent!! Staff were very attentive and friendly. Great to finally go to a Cafe with a decent size table, so many cafes have tables that can barely hold your coffee cup. Will be back to try the omelet next time.

Located on the corner of Rosebank and Jomac Road, the carpark entrance is on Jomac Road. Stopped by for lunch and was fortunate to get a table without booking since it was fairly full. We were warmly greeted at the door and escorted to our table. After a short wait we received menus. Didn't have to wait too long to get our food and drinks ordered. Apart from the menu, they also had food cabinets with goodies like donuts, tarts and truffles. The hot chocolate was nice. The food was even nicer. I had ordered the lamb special and it was quite special. It looked and smelt quite impressive and the taste was really good. Adding the different components on the plate gave different flavours and textures. The lamb was well season and cooked nicely. We even got some dessert to eat later in the afternoon and it was delicious. What got me was how well the place was run. Even though it was full, things didn't stand for too long and everything was running quite smoothly. It was easy to just sit back and enjoy the food.

Wonderful cafe. Beautiful food and coffee. Kai and Sharon always give a warm welcome and friendly professional service. Lovely venue, good for meetings or just to have a quiet place to work. And Martha's playlist would give it an extra star if we could.

The service is great, ambience, awesome. Food tastes delicious. There's not that many car parks. On the expensive side - that's the only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 star. So much competition.
