We ordered the big breakfast,the shared platter and the pork belly waffles& hot drinks,the portions were quite generous and filling as you can see from my photos,plus the service was pleasant and knowledgeable.will definitely return to try other meu items.
We were here for brunch, visited for the first time. Very spacious, family crowd, good fresh food, reasonable. We ordered summer toast , Grill breakfast, hot chocolate and Coffee. Summer toast is a must try one, loved the mix n match of flavours n spices in it. A good vegetarian meal and filling too.
Have just had brunch in here, I really love my vegan grill something (like big breakfast) i forgot the name on the menu 😅
Its so good! And my partner waffle he said so nice as well ☺️
We sat outside and its. Ice ambience in there!
Overall we’re happy!
The food here is fantastic and today is the first time we’ve been back since the lockdown. At Level 2, unfortunately the kiddie area is still fenced off and the menu options has shrunk. Nevertheless, the place is still worth a visit as the food is delicious. :)
Unable to change bacon & sausages out of Full breakfast, very disappointing. Great waitress though however had a 15cm black hair on my plate under my second half of my salmon Bene. Didn’t bother complaining however check your food before you eat!
Nice place to have lunch, good environment and service
Amazing and friendly service. Perfectly seasoned fried chicken and perfectly made waffles. The new coffee - dope.
Alternative place to grab a lunch of coffee near Dressmart. I don't really like their lunch but their croissants were super delicious. Coffee and croissants here were my favorite combo.
Rating based on a delicious flat white (Supreme beans), service and atmosphere. Great for solo’s with seating along the large windows, views to streetside. Menu and cabinet looked good, def worth another visit to try.
Good venue. Friendly staff. Banana bread and pecan pie was amazing. Hot chocolate was not hot though. And I asked for hazel nut shot in my flat white but they said they dont have syrups because it ruins the coffee. I totally get that and that is pretty fair. However the not flavoured flat white came out like this. Pretty average looking and below average tasting.
closer to 3.5
it’s a bit too busy and crowded for my liking for a cafe especially given its location along a mainstreet/roundabout of Onehunga
i must say my favourite for this place is the cheesecake brownie! Amazing taste. Coffee is decent.
Been wanting to try this cafe whenever we come around Dressmart as it seems popular and always full. We tried their iced coffee & mocha, Crispy Chicken waffles and Eggs Benedict. The Eggs benedict was just ok - the eggs were overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was a bit bland. However, the dining experience was saved by the crispy chicken waffles. The chicken was crispy and well seasoned and the waffles were just cooked with the right texture - soft in the inside and a little crunchy in the edges combined with maple syrup was just delicious. The service was fast and the staff was attentive and friendly.
Best breakfast we've had fr ages. Went fr brisket hash and partner had full breakky. Lots of tasty bacon and lovely free range eggs. Hash brisket with tangy chipotle and tomatoe hollandaise was just nom nom. Good coffee and great service. Cleared plates away quickly too.
Love me some fried chicken waffles! Really impressed with the amount of waffle, even if it was a bit too sweet. Chicken was on point, so would have loved another piece! They happily swapped the syrup with aioli for me!
Always busy and very often will have a live band or something of the sort during dinner. The service there is great with very funny and welcoming wait staff that makes you feel at ease. My partner and I both ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon, spinach and an extra side of Portobello mushroom. Very nicely done with softly toasted and buttered bread instead of usually really hard and crisp sourdough bread.
Service is great ! They are a bit quirky which I bloody love
Best Spanish beans ! A bit spicy for those sensitive to spice but it was perfect for me.
My boyfriend loves the waffle and fried chicken !
Best place to go when you’re hungover and in need of a hearty meal to set you straight.
The food came out very quickly, which was great. Great customer service from all staff! There were very rude customers when we were there, yet they still delivered amazing service. We all loved the chicken and we will definitely come back :)
amazing breakfast at reasonable prices. it was quite busy when we went but food came out in less than 10 minutes. really enjoyed the chicken waffle. good food, great service from the staff.
Lovely ambience and great food! Prompt service with great attitude :) would def come back when back in onehunga. Highly recommended for casual breakfast or brunch.
My primary reason for going to Onehunga has always been for Dressmart, however, my recent dining experiences in Onehunga has made me consider adding an ancillary purpose to my usual Onehunaga visits. I’ve had this café on my list for quite a while having seen how busy this café whenever I drove by.
We ordered a variety of brunch options and I must say the presentation of meals at Onehunga Café was fantastic. I really can’t expound too much on the details of my brunch visit because I was rather hungover but I do vaguely remember that I loved the chicken & waffles and the cabinet blueberry muffin. Looking back at some of the pictures I took, the café layout was also quite spacious and had great lighting.
Showstopper: Ideal Brunch before a shopping spree at Dressmart
Overall Grade: A-
Middle of the day on an average Friday and this place was packed! The coffee was strong and hot, just how I like it. I ordered the fish and chips. I'm gonna be honest, I was disappointed with the chips. I like thick cut fries and theirs were thin cut. They were a tad oily for my liking. My companion ordered the pork bao(?) and she said it was weird that these amazing Asian flavors, were served on white bread. However, she did enjoy it. If I was in the area again, I'd go back.
Every time I visit it's always a great environment, coupled with great service & just as importantly, genuinely delicious food!! Reasonably priced too...
Went here with a group of friends on a not-too-busy Saturday night. Food was pretty tasty (but not particularly memorable), portions were decent, and service was friendly and timely. Their menu is quite extensive and many of their dishes are designed to be shared tapas style. Quite a nice vibe to the restaurant with live music at night and even a play pen for kids to the side.
I had the Fish Po’ Boy. It was a bit hard to eat as the topping was constantly falling off the baguette, but overall I found the flavours to be light and fresh.
The 'tempura vegetables' are just battered + deep fried vegetables – which doesn’t sound very exciting but they were surprisingly nice. There was a mix of portobello mushroom, eggplant and zucchini in this dish.
The beef burger looked good, as did the fried chicken wings. I’d like to try one of their platters next time.
Amazing food and genuine friendly staff. I take all my family coming to visit. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. We feel like family every time we visit. Thank you
Really nice ambiance / atmosphere blankets and even slippers are provided, a play pen for children which is awesome. Quite packed when we went but any table is good/good vibes! The service was quick we had our food soo quickly! The food was yum! Big brekkie and waffles at 2pm on a Sunday? Yes please! Very good service and coffee! If I'm out those ways again I know where to come!

Everytime I come it's full and I know why!, the place is buzzing with life. Staff are friendly and helpful. A mix up with payments on my first visit but cashier handle the situation very well.
The staff here is very friendly and professional, and the place is well kept which gave the cafe a very comfortable feel.
We ordered the Crispy Chicken Burger and the Crispy Chicken Waffles. This was the first time I had ever tried chicken waffles - the first few bites were heavenly, but near the end the sweetness of the maple syrup with the chicken was a little sickening. Other than that, the dish was still delicious, as was the Burger which was excellent. We also ordered the chocolate thickshake which I highly recommend, as it was perfect to go with both dishes.

Best eggs bene ive had! I informed them the eggs were slightly overcooked, just for feedback. I wasnt expecting anything but they came out with 2 perfectly poached eggs T-T which i was not expecting at all! Thank you.. 11/10 for great service! Plates are always looking pretty! Staff are friendly, i feel like they go the extra mile. Love it!
They have delicious coffee! Food is good. Enjoy their breakfast menu. We've had the chicken and waffles here. Once was fantastic the next time was a bit of a miss... guessing just a bad day as all other food was amazing.
Nice food, good coffee. Mildly expensives so that's where points came off. Lots of room as the cafe is in an old converted house. Nice place to go for brunch in the 'burbs!

Ordered: eggs bene with bacon and potato spuds(extra $4) $18.5, americano $4 and vienna coffee $4.5
Service: service was so good. All the staff were working with a big smile and they served us promptly. Food came out in 10 minutes. I was so surprised that it came out so fast.
Food: I wanted to have some hash brown as well as eggs bene but they didn't have hash brown on the menu. The staff recommended me with potato spuds so I ordered spuds on side as well. As you can see in the picture, it was a huge portion. The biggest eggs bene I had in my life. It had heaps of bacon and heaps of spinach. Great flavour too although the hollandaise sauce needs a little more seasoning. Spuds were so good too. Crispy outside and so soft inside. I coudln't stop eating it even though my stomach was about to explode.
Coffee: I enjoyed both americano and vienna. The coffee tasted great. I ordered cold water added to my americano so I can drink it straight away and kindly staff brought me jugs of hot water and cold water so that I can add hot water if the coffee is too cold. So kind!
I will definitely come back again to try their iconic lunch menu too!
We had breakfast here. The "Big Grill" & "Eggs Benedict with smoked kahawai" The meal servings were huge & tasted delicious! Nothing to fault at all. Highly recommended. Cost wise $42 for two people.
Place is tidy and clean and spacious. Just bought a non alcoholic beverage. Was nice and cold. Free parking on the road.prices not the cheapest around
Great place for food every time ! Fresh tasty food, great coffee. Highly recommended. Can get busy. Do not park across the road next to the bike shop, you'll get towed !

A great spot for catching up with friends! A group of us dined in for brunch and we were pleased with what Onehunga cafe had to offer. Even though they are constantly busy, there is plenty of seating both inside and out so you should be able to get a table without wait time.
We ordered the Crispy Chicken burger, Chocolate waffle and Eggs benedict with mushroom and halloumi. All the dishes were well presented but it was the burger that took the prize for food envy! Stacked high with a generous portion of chicken this burger did not disappoint - be sure to add cheese if your a Hawaiian fan. The waffle (yes, just one) was thick and smothered in Nutella, mascarpone and Oreo crumb. It was a little underwhelming with just one waffle but the dish was sweet without being too overpowering. The eggs bene wasn’t anything more than you’d expect but nothing to complain about either! The coffee so good that my partner even ordered another one to takeaway.
The service was well above average during our weekend visit with minimal wait times during rush hour. Our waiter was friendly and helpful when giving advice with the menu. Would definitely like to try more dishes here soon!
Always busy and for a good reason! Food and drinks are delicious and service is above average. A perfect brunch spot with friends. Food menu has an excellent range and all four of us were happy with the results.

Busy cafe with lots of buzz and nice simple setting. The staff were helpful but seemed to be in a rush and showed the stress in the way they took the orders but I guess this was because of how busy it was?? The food was only slightly above average hence the 3.5 rating. Ordered house grill with extra side of scrambled eggs which were a little overcooked and tasted like they'd been sitting on the plate a while before coming out.
Also had the corn mussel fritters with bacon and eggs, the fritters were slightly undercooked hence had a soggy taste but chocolate waffle (yes 1 nice big waffle with Nutella, mascarpone and a few Oreo crumbs) was awesome. A little disappointed they don't offer flavoured syrups with the coffees but the coffees were still really nice anyway. Kids ordered mango coconut smoothies and they were really disappointed with it as it was quite bland, watery and lacked mango and for $7.50 each it definitely wasn't worth it. Our overall experience was ok but definitely the service and food reflected just how rushed/stressed the staff and possibly the chefs were. Would definitely try again and hopefully a more joyful and relaxed experience the next time.
Nice food, friendly service. A tad disappointed that the $15 salad was on the small side. Forgot to photo our food so I've included a picture of someone going overboard photographing theirs. What she had did look delicious, going to find out what it was for next visit.
Just returned to edit this up half a point because the barista actually knew what a ristretto coffee is
Came here two days in a row. Food is fresh and delicious. Only downsides is the difficulty to find parking and also the plates, cutlery etc wasn't well presented. This doesn't bother me too much because food it most important for me in my reviews.
Coffee and tea is great. Benedict and breakfast is yummy. Salads are kept simple but interestingly tasteful.

This is one of our favourite cafes and we love coming here. The menu is always tasty and varied, we love the fact that it incorporates a slightly southern flavour and offers more than the standard cafe menu.
The coffees never disappoint , the juices are freshly made and refreshing, we love the outdoor seating option and the staff have always been so friendly that you fee like locals whether you are or not! We have been wanting to come back for dinner and check out the live band. :)
Local eatery for us. They have revamped their menu and seem to rotate over seasons which is great if you live in the area. Great spot for brunch. They have a live duo on Saturday afternoons and a bar stacked well. There's usually cabinet food and great coffee at the ready.
Children's area, cabinet and menu, covered outdoor seating, baby-changing and clean bathrooms, friendly staff, quick and attentive service, beautiful, fresh food, lots of newspapers, large tables, good prices and alcohol. Drawbacks? Few- the parking is usually a nightmare, there isn't really a quite area and I wish they had a super healthy salad option for us trying to be less fatties. But it is right up there. I can't see how you couldn't love this place. Oh, and they sometimes have live music :)
As someone who works from home, it's nice to do some work outside of the house every now and then so I was relieved to finally find a cafe which suited my working needs 🤓. This dark and moody corner of Onehunga Mall is incredibly lively due to the various people passing through, it's a people watchers dream! The hustle and bustle of a medium sized town makes this cafe something else. While the menu is generic they know how to do it well that's for certain. The eggs are fluffy, the tea is hot and the coffee smells gooood 😍. I'm coming back to work here asap!
Came on a Sunday morning after a popular concert the previous night, and we had no idea what to expect. It was super busy so we were lucky to get a table, and were amazed by the food in the cabinet! Finally decided on some food and it didn't take long at all! Plus it was delicious. We also got snickers shakes and they were AMAZING. So happy we came here!!!
Great place. Good food , busy but a nice atmosphere. Have had breakfast and dinners here and good has always been good. Only downside is having coffee when eating in- even asking for a large only ever gets you a small glass... so do yourselves a favour and get it takeaway in the size coffee should be!!!
I ordered Beef bahn mi roti and peanutbutter thickshake. Personally the main dish for me was very oily and heavy but i enjoyed it none the less. The peanutbutter was awesome though! I'll come back for that.
Pro:
- Variety of unique dishes.
- Good wait staff and service.
- Excellent food.
- Visually tempting dishes.
- It's quiet atmosphere here.
- Conformable furniture inside and outside the cafe.
Cons:
- Ambience was quite dark ish due to little lighting.
- I don't know why but i saw a lot of customers grabbing menus by themselves. I had to ask for menu too.
Having been a long term resident of Onehunga, it's great to see cafes like these popping up here. Great service and good food. We've been here for breakfast and dinner and each time it was a pleasant experience. Staff are friendly, menu is plenty, great ambience and fantastic location. Buzzing local hub.
One of my favorite café and I go there for meeting and catch up with friends. I went there with my boyfriend for lunch 2weeks ago. we ordered waffles and macha latte. Café was packed, we were seated immediately. Great service, love the atmosphere definitely coming back soon!!
Stopped in for a takeaway coffee and had a lovely almond milk coffee made by the French barista. Busy place but all the staff were friendly and gave good service. Will definitely go back as the food looked great.

Went here for a weekend brunch but my experience wasn't as good as I expected based on other reviews.
Ordered the following dishes:
- Chicken waffles (their signature dish). The chicken was really good but the waffles were so mushy I couldn't even pick up a piece with my fork as it all fell apart, they weren't even a little bit crispy at all. The chicken size was too small compared to the waffles.
- Beef banh mi roti. This dish was okay, the slaw was bland but if you have it with the roti and beef it was good.
- House grill (big breakfast). We love our hash browns so were a little disappointed with the roasted spuds instead of hash browns. Bacon was crazy salty like inedible. The wrapped butter was cute though.
Also ordered the freshly squeezed juice (apple, pear, carrot, orange) which was nice and it came in a takeaway cup which was handy as i couldn't finish it and took it out with me. Dining companion did not like her coffee saying it was too bitter.
There are plenty of parking nearby but they're only for 30mins so depends if you want to risk it or park elsewhere further away.

Just a stones throw from Dressmart, this is the perfect spot for a post shopping feed.. or brunch any day of the week! Our pick? You have to try their waffles! Their crispy chicken, chilli maple syrup and waffle combo is just amazinggg! This is also a pretty sweet place for an evening hangout too.. go for one of their Po Boys and Beer 👌🏻
Busy cafe located on one of the roundabouts in Onehunga. Having said that though there is heaps of seating & the service on this visit was efficient.
They have a range of cabinet food as well as a full menu with lots of unique options. There is a Asian fusion feel with many of the dishes as well as standard options.
I tried the cauliflower & chive Hash which was a well balanced & flavour full dish. Bacon on the side. Coffee was well made.
Keen to try some of the other Asian dishes next time as I got food envy looking at some of the other tables.
Cafe is nice and stands right at the corner of mall road so you can enter straight after your shopping :)
We normally drop here for breakfast or quick coffee and every time its a different experience here. Coffee,shakes ,smoothies and breads are all well prepared.
I came here a couple weeks ago and ordered the chipotle calamari roll. I enjoyed it very much and so did my friend who ordered the eggs benedict. The food is cooked to perfection and the customer service is by far one of the best. The place is massive and has plenty of space and seats. Overall I really enjoyed this cafe and would 100% come here again!
I visited here a couple of Saturdays ago. It's got a great ambiance, interesting menu and good food. My latte was perfect and I had the crushed avocado with poached egg and haloumi cheese which was very good. Staff were upbeat, friendly and efficient.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
A very unexpected find in the centre of Onehunga! The place was lively, the food/menu were on point, the staff were friendly and helpful and the seating was plentiful.
Went for brunch. Everything was priced pretty reasonable as compared to other places we've been.
Had a look at the dinner menu and will definitely be going back for that.
Only downsides were that the tables were all messy and because they werent cleaned fast enough people were waiting around. Happens in hospo though.
Fried Chicken Waffles - Seriously worth the talk! Could have done with the egg being cooked a little longer and a little more maple syrup...but if youre keen to share a few dishes at the table make sure this is one of them!
Beef Banh mi Roti - Loads of really tasty pulled beef, sizeable portion, comes with a good amount of dressing, very juicy.
Fish po' boy - Fish was extremely fresh and went really well with the avocado and salsa style flavours in the meal.
Chicken burger - their fried chicken is the best! goes super well with the crispy lettuce and brioche bun!
Drinks are also on point!
Snickers thickshake **** Mango coconut smoothie **** Chocolate shake ** Spicy chai latte ****
Came to around 25pp with a meal and a drink, would recommend.

This place seems to be the liveliest and busiest cafe on the Onehunga Mall strip (which is always a good sign). Which is why we decided to pop in here for brekkie one day. I like that they have spacious indoor and outdoor seating and the service is prompt.
We ordered the house grill and the crispy chicken waffle along with some coffee. Firstly, the coffee was excellent. The chicken waffle was just divine. It was just the right balance of sweet and savory. The chicken was perfectly crunchy and the waffle was just soft enough to mop up the egg and maple syrup. Do not miss out on ordering it! The house grill is a really filling plate of food that checks all your breakfast staples.
I'd definitely come back here if I am in and around Onehunga.

Great atmosphere, good service and location however the food was a slight let down, well what we ordered anyway. I ordered the salted caramel waffle and my partner ordered the chicken and waffles. I thought mine was ok, waffles were good but in all honesty it was just topped with some sauce, apple and walnut pieces and a bit of mascarpone, nothing special to it, I could've made it myself but in the end it still tasted nice.
The disappointing bit was the chicken and waffles.. everyone usually gets excited when they see chicken and waffles on the menu and we weren't any different so we couldn't help but get both types of waffles. Unfortunately it was a big let down.. The presentation wasn't the greatest, literally just 2 pieces of deep fried chicken on 2 pieces of waffles.. no colour to it, a bit of greens on the side would've gone well to help with the presentation and also to balance out the heaviness of the dish. The waffles were just soaked in the chili maple which was amazing for the first 2 or 3 bites but after that it just got sickening. Maybe they should put the maple sauce on the side and the customer can add it to the waffles themselves. The pieces of chicken were just too dense, maybe some chicken strips or tenders would be better as it is a bit lighter. My partner just finished 1 waffle and he usually eats a lot but because it was so soaked in the maple it just got too much. The funny thing was the chili maple was a lot sweeter than my salted caramel waffles.
Maybe we should've gone with the cornbeef hash instead of the chicken waffles.
I would definitely like to come back to this cafe and give them another shot but I definitely won't be ordering their waffles. Hopefully they can improve on them after rereading this 😊
Offers great selection of food with fresh ingredients, awesome coffee and atmosphere day or night. Saturday night vibe with live music always inviting. Oh and the service is exceptional.
Visited this cafe as a friend has suggested it. The ambiance was okay..
The food was good with a very reasonable price range.
And friendly staff.
Went for the first time today. I was really satisfied with everything. Even tho it was crowded, the service was fast and good then they are very generous on the amount of food that they serve. I ordered " house grill "
Wow - what a find. Driven past it a million times. Had no idea it was so good. Stopped in for solo lunch as I was nearby. Ordered Asian calamari salad and flat white. Food was just delicious. Best salad I've had in ages. Fresh and full of flavour and really big portion. Coffee was excellent. I'll definitely be back.
Went for the first time today and found it to be very pleasant. Spacious cafe with plenty of natural light and friendly atmosphere😀
Nice cabinet food and great brunch menu options available.🍽 Prices on par with other Auckland cafes.
I had the chicken livers with hash- nice flavours.
My partner had Kahawai Benedict with side of bacon.
Eggs poached perfectly however hollandaise sauce lacked flavour.
Service though was very attentive and friendly- from the start to finish-Good job Onehunga Cafe👍🏽
We would dine here again if in the area👌🏽
It was my first time here and I loved it. From the minute you walk in you are greeting with the mouth-watering smell of fried chicken infused with sweet baked goods and coffee. Came here for the lunch with a friend and I got the beef Roti which was absolutely divine. The meat was tender and full of flavour, the Roti had a nice texture and tasted slightly sweet which was nice. Staff were warm, friendly and attentive with smiles all round. Great food, great service, would definitely be back for brunch again!
We decided to visit this cafe today as we were in the neighbourhood. As we walked in, I could smell delicious food which made me rather inquisitive about the menu. We didn't have much time, so we ordered coffee and a cheese and ham sandwich to share. My mocha was quite good and his long black was also good. The cheese sandwich was also good - tasty. But it was dripping with oil... Lastly, the environment was very pleasant and the look was quite rustic. I'm definitely going to come back to try the chicken waffles!
Skeptical before going because the reviews aren't that great but was pleasantly surprised ☺
The chicken waffles is pretty comparable to the Orleans one. It would be nice if they gave more chicken to go with the huge waffle but other than that the waffle itself was soft with a slight crisp and there was enough syrup to soak the waffle (Orleans lack the syrup). The chicken was really crispy in my opinion but some people might find it to be too "hard".
The portion size is quite big so that's always a bonus.
Oh, and the peanut butter thickshake was super yummy! I would recommend sharing with a friend like I did because having either one of these on my own would've been too much 😁
The environment could've been cleaner though - didn't like those tiny bugs flying around 😏
STICKY PORK BELLY PO' BOY mmm yes it was all of our fave.. the name and description says it all. Obviously its going to be on the sweet side ('sticky') and it will caramelise which is how it should be with the palm sugar and marmalade... the coffee was on point, hard to find both, but we are all glad we dont have to travel far for great food and damn good coffee and service. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! and the week after👍
Best place in its area by far!! Amazing food - great live music. Must try: cherry bourbon hot chocolate. The food was better than a helicopter ride and I'll be back. #happywifehappylife
Thank you Onehunga cafe, the food tonight was superb! Your Chefs, a well deserved pat on the back! The food was made with respect.. good customer service also, and an inviting atmosphere. We will be back.
Popped in for brunch with hubby and 3month old bub.. very kid friendly and staff were lovely. Had waffles and to astir, both delicious and decent coffee. Will return with coffee group and will bear in mind for when kids are older as there is a nice little play area!
We've been seeing this cafe and have always wanted to try it since we moved in Onehunga so my husband and I went there on a Saturday to have brunch.
The interior is nice and cozy. Although there's plenty of tables and some booths inside (and some tables outside), the place gets packed especially during brunch / lunch time.
We ordered Eggs Benedict w/ bacon and their House Grill. The Eggs Benedict was divine! The presentation was lovely, the egg was nicely poached and the Hollandaise was also good. The House Grill is a good choice if you are wanting a big breakfast. Everything in the plate was good especially the grilled tomatoes and poached eggs.
Will definitely be back again.
Onehunga cafe never fails to impress. The food is always great at really reasonable prices and coffee is even better. I also love the smoothies they do, I try not to down mine too fast because they are so addictive.
Would recommend to everyone as a must try place :)
Came here on the way to a play. The menu is very simple and has a clear range of what they offer. Each dish looked like a surprise as there wasn't many details of what it was.
I went with the lemon and coconut fish. It was light and fresh. Had a good serving of fish fillets with bed of lettuce and salsa on top. The coconut cream sauces was nice and didn't over power the dish
Really enjoyed the meal and are interested in returning with friends
Had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon, was pretty busy.
Was a bit confusing because wait staff were taking orders and people were ordering at the register and it took a while to find a menu.
Ordered waffles with fried chicken, egg and chilli maple syrup, crispy chicken burger and chocolate and snickers shakes.
Food and shakes were good but after a while the fried egg and syrup don't taste good together in my opinion.
Would love to come back here and try other dishes though.
Three of us tried Onehunga Cafe for the first time. The customer service was great. The waiter were friendly and attentive. The Sticky Pork Belly Po'Boy were good according to my friend, but the Garlic Ginger Prawn was just okay. I had vege burger which was good.
Overall, we really enjoyed the dining experience at this place.

I love this place! Delicious coffee, good vibe and good food. Breakfast menu is a winner.
The lunch menu has been hit and miss for me however. Wouldn't recommend the crispy prawn Po boy. Would recommend the waffles, eggs benedict and beef brisket burger, mmm.
Awesome to see these types of Cafes popping up in places like little old onehunga. Can't wait to see more!
Yum!!! What a local treat. Supreme coffee 👍🏻 bottomless coffee ahh amaze. And the food we had the fish cake Benedict and the avo and egg, portions where huge for my little tummy but yummy. We will be back I promise

It was a surprise to find a cafe like this in Onehunga. As the interior gave me a very "Ponsonby feel". Loved their chicken burger. The chicken was so crispy but not too hard. Unlike some places where the chicken was fried wayyy too hard and it actualy hurts your mouth when you eat. The pineapple and aioli sauce makes the cumin in the chicken not too over-whelming.
Great casual neighbourhood eatery with super friendly service.
The menu has something for everyone. The avocado chips are amazing, so is the grilled hoisin chicken. Burgers come on delicious brioche buns. You'll find Hallertau on tap.
Surprising place in Onehunga. Was looking for a quick lunch and just dropped by.
The staff was very attentive and kind. Tried some pork belly with a sweet sauce that was delicious, way better than you'll have in good Asian restaurants.
On that day they also had a Brazilian coffee blend. Impressionably good and honoured the fame of the country for good beverage.
O hail the hero of Onehunga! This place is setting the mark for cafes in this area. Nice trendy setting in a relaxed and casual atmosphere; the latter maybe a bit too casual?
We had the kahawai and humara hash with poached eggs - these were pretty good! i do love me some fish cakes but felt maybe this time the chef was a little stingy on the fish and bit too heavy on the kumara - a balance is needed imo.
The staff are friendly and our waitress was lovely. I do however feel like this place is run by a bunch of young ones and it kinda feels that way. It's missing a tiny bit of professional service if you know what I mean?? for example, one of the waiters walked passed us and decided to pick up rubbish on the floor with his hands! 😱 Showing cleanliness is great.. but never with your bare hands in front of eating customers.
But overall, would i come back? of course! the rest of the menu looks great and the coffee was good.
I have previously been here and thought it was wonderful, so keen to take my husband, we dropped in for brunch.
The service was a little slack this morning, however they were reasonably busy so no major and we found our self a table and checked out the menu.
Our meals came quickly after ordering and were presented well and tasted delicious. I had good old faithful Bacon and Eggs Benedict and my husband had smoked Kahawhai and Kumera hash with poached egg. Both good size portions and we left feeling very satisfied.
Shame the service let them down today, however won't stop me going back as I think it's a great little social spot!
Love this place. Good food, good vibe and the team are awesome! The burger is the best we have ever had. This is the first time we have ever been and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for looking after us so well. Much appreciated 😍

Such a relaxing vibe and a really nice breezy location. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Price is reasonable and an amazing portion of food that tastes absolutely divine. Been here so many times! Recommended if you're wanting to go out for brunch with friends or family :)
This cafe looked intriguing and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Coffee was fair to middling. I am reliably informed by my two children that the hot chocolate is very good. Only had biscuits and they were a bit on the stodgy side. The menu looked limited and would try elsewhere if wanting a full meal.
Came here for brunch on a wet morning. I ordered the smashed avocado and he ordered the scrambled eggs. Small little mix up from the staff as we had asked to swap the tomatoes for bacon and they didn't. However they quickly rectified their mistake and he got the bacon we asked for. Food was solid, however the ratio of bread to eggs/avocado was a little off. We were both left with eggs/avocado with nothing to put it on.
Friendly service and good outside setting. Very dog friendly and we met about three dogs and their owners. I would have liked to have tried the breakfast menu. Coffee tastes great.
Great cafe and beautiful food! Came with my daughter before we hit the shops at Dressmart, friendly service, the food was delicious, very fresh and tasty, I had the fish Poy and my daughter had the pork belly with both dishes sitting on 2 bits of toasted French sticks, probably only need one French stick as the meal was so filling.
Will definitely be back!
Just been there once. First impression busy cafe. Busy cafes are usually good. I had a chicken and a salad dish which was good. The staff were warm and friendly. I definitely need to go back again. Overheard a customer telling the staff that lunch was really good and would definitely go back for dinner. I am really curious to try this place again. My friends had a coffee and some muffin. They liked it. They also have cool beers and alcohol. Definitely worth it on a warm day
A modern little cafe with a great menu!
I was very excited by the American themed menu, especially the chicken waffles, so I had to get those. Our food arrived very quickly and with very friendly staff.
I was very impressed by the portion sizes when they arrived, definitely worth the value for money.
The flavors of the chicken and waffles were very good, I liked the spice that was in the syrup (?) or just sprinkled on top. I just wish the waffles were a little crispier and the syrup was on the side for you to pour on your own, as my waffles were drowning in syrup and by the end had soaked it all up and were all squishy and too sweet to eat.
My friend's prawn Po Boy was very tasty, the prawns were cooked beautifully and complimented by the fresh wasabi aoili!
Would return for sure!
This place is so so good. It has heaps of seatings, the service was amazing - on point, superfriendly and funny. Food was just too perfect.
My bf got the fish po boy with a side of fries and i ordered the chilli eggs and an ice coffee. The ice coffee was pretty goood. They add two little scoop of ice cream when you order ice coffee, yum! Chilli eggs was so yummy. The eghs were fluffy and spicy, and it has generous amount of chorizo. Simple but amazing. Im not a fan of fish and i tried a little of my bf's dish. Surprisingly i liked it. Well i loved it, it was so so good, fish was still juicy and the seasonings was perfect!
Defitnately come back for more next time.
Lovely place to enjoy lunch and dinner. I highly recommend Onehunga Cafe. Always a busy popular place to meet. The staff are very friendly and efficient - even when its busy. The meals are amazing. - Have not been dissapointed. I also love the gourmet food in the cabinet. They do amazing coffee and Chai Late.
Ordered the House Grill with a side dish of Kahawai smoked. Really delicious. Service was good although twice we had coffee brought to our table that we did not order. My companion enjoyed her eggs benedict with bacon.
I love a good breakfast before starting work. Good thing, dress smart is right next to Onehunga Cafe. This morning I ordered Chicken waffles. I always order Chicken waffles when I go to Orleans, so I wanted to try Onehunga Cafe's version. The waffles are very big and very tasty, the chicken is cooked really well with a bit of a spice and I like how they added a sunny side up egg to it. I'm very impressed with this 👌🏼

With a tagline like Morning, Noon, and Night, it's obvious when you can get fed from here. Admittedly I thought their tagline was actually the restaurant name! I was sceptical about this place when it first opened but it just got more and more popular. This eatery is truly fantastic and probably the best option in Onehunga and I can't wait to find another opportunity to go again.
The inside is simplistic and bright due to the length of windows facing the open street. You can have a seat inside and get cosy with the hustle and bustle or you can pick a seat outside and enjoy the sun. For parents with young children, this is surely a great cafe to take them to. You can enjoy your meal while your kids play in their play pen.
Service was brilliant and their staff were attentive and friendly as well as patient. I've had a few of their breakfast options and the most recent ones are:
Waffles with coconut ice cream and chocolate sauce and strawberries. I think this was actually too sweet for my liking. The waffles themselves were sweet but since it was topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce, it ended up a bit too much. However for those with a sweet tooth, this is truly a dream. However I'm pretty sure the ice cream was vanilla and not coconut.
Crushed avocado - crushed avocado with some greens and tomato and a poached egg on top of grains toast with a slice of halloumi. The crushed avocado was very tasty and the greens were fresh and the whole dish was truly brought together by the crushed avocado. Beautifully made.
Granola - came with fresh strawberry and pear slices and yoghurt and honey. Truly impressed by this establishment's use of fresh products. A+!
I always order the pomegranate oolong tea if that is available as that's my favourite drink but I've had their smoothies before. I don't really like their smoothies as I feel it's not their best.
Definitely recommend coming here!
DId not expect this one coming out of Onehunga but what a gem of a place. I've been here twice now as my sister lives across the road. More recently my father was in town and before he left we walked over the road to brunch it!
Staff were friendly, talkative with loads of personality. We sat outside where you can find dog friendly seating on the street. The meals came to us quickly. My father had poached eggs on toast with a side of tomatoes, the food was amazingly presented even for something so simple. I had the fried chicken waffles with maple which was an absolute taste sensation! I was a tad hungover so also had a Vanilla shake with breaky which was a little on the thin side but still went down a dream.
I'll be back to Onehunga Cafe many times as it has never failed to please. A cafe that doesn't try too hard, they serve simple food but do it extremely well!
Came here as it was one of the few cafes in Onehunga that was open on a Sunday morning, we were greeted right away considering how busy the cafe was.
The waitress took the order, I got the full grill no mushrooms with a six barrel soda and partner got the apple crumble topped waffles with a mocha.
Meals arrived 10-15 minutes later, full grill minus mushrooms as per my request; seeded bread, tomatoes and egg were the best parts-sausages were a tad dry and would've been nice if bacon was crispy. Partner enjoyed the waffles, devouring most of the meal.
Would we come back? Yep
An outstanding find! Spacious, modern and unpretentious. Seriously a gem! We had brunch here today and wow, it was unexpectedly amazing.
The cafe itself is simplistic and rustic and there's plenty of seating indoor and out. You'll be greeted with smiles by one of the many staff members which is a brilliant start. Menu's and cutlery is promptly delivered as is the sparkling water. Nice touch. I also love that they serve more than the usual cafe options - cool options on offer.
We had the crispy chicken waffles, the sticky pork belly and the hand cut agria potato chips. Generous portions and definitely reasonably priced. All in all a great meal. :-)
Came in for a quick cup of Supreme but ended up giving in and ordering the fried prawn poboy. Regrets? None. It was tantalising. Will definitely be back to try the other po'boys
Good coffee (Supreme) and reasonable food!
Unique breakfast menu as they offer southern food, like chicken waffle and po boys for lunch. Had the chicken waffle which was delicious however I think they should separate the maple sauce so that we can adjust to taste. Friend had the fried shrimp with wasabi mayo and was good too!
They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner! A nice addition to Onehunga as it is quite modern and fits in with the whole cafe trend. Good to have a coffee then head over to dress smart as it is so near to each other.
Nice big space, lots of seating. Service is friendly but a bit slow. Couldn't tell if it was table service or order up front..so we lined up to order. Would be good if they have front of house stuff guiding people in as there are so many seats!
I had the big breakfast which was indeed large. Disappointed with only two cherry tomatoes but not everyone loves them as much as me. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be returning to this place!

I really like the Po boys!! Shrimp with wasabi Mayo- so yummy! And the pulled pork one was really good too.
The agria potato chunky fries are great- handmade and super fresh and they come with a homemade aioli
The coffee was good too and the offer sparkling or still water
Service was great and it's dog friendly if you sit outside
This place has fab service and fab coffee!!!
Our waitress was very attentive and very helpful, and I enjoyed the zing of the complimentary sparkling water as we sat down. The chips are great, but I didn't enjoy the chicken burger so much. I guess I was expecting a little more salad with it. After a while, the chips, aioli, brioche bun, deepfried chicken, and chipotle aioli got a little too heavy. The brioche was a little on the dry/stale side which didn't help... :/
My mate ordered the Pork Poh boy, which has more colour and salads which I was secretly coveting the entire time. Mmmmm salad...
My recommendation for dining at Onehunga Cafe is to mix up the deep fried goodness with some freshness when you order.
Even though I didn't leave on a high, I would definitely give this place another whirl. Their brilliant service, and awesome coffee entitles them to at least that! Keep up the good work guys!
Came to check this place out after hearing about the Barista from the latest atomic latte art throwdown! This place did not dissapoint! Friendly as staff, almost ticks all the boxes! Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner - with a kids corner too! (Not that I have a kid) just think more places should have a kids corner! Also enjoy their community seats! An awesome place, will be back for sure!
I haven't been to this shop since it was a video store years ago lol. I've always passed by and thought how poncy it looked. Went in yesterday with a friend for breakfast it was full which is always a good sign. At first glance at menu its a bit expensive but once our House grill arrived with a side of Agria hand cut chips with aioli I could see why the steep prices. The food was good and serving was substantial (my friend couldn't finish her plate). The agria chips were as yummy as the aioli. The hot chocolate was luke warm which I wasnt too pleased with as I like my hot drinks HOT lol. All in all it was a nice breakfast.

Well serviced! Highly recommended! Good place to enjoy coffee and breakfast.. Food is little bit expensive but worth it for the service and food.. Nice ambience as well.
After a minor slip up with a staff member taking my booking on a day they don't accept bookings, the manager and her team were very apologetic and accommodating to fit us in. Service was outstanding and food is fresh and perfectly cooked.
Coffee is very good.
This Cafe is practically next to Onehunga Dressmart and well worth a visit if your visiting Dressmart. I received very friendly service, and I was very happy with my Fried Prawn Po Boy along with fries and a hot choc; and my friends Roasted Beetroot dish looked impressive also. The waiter had a great memory and took our order without writing it down - apparently he took a coffee order for a group the other day, and memorised it all- a real skill. All in all a really nice friendly relaxed environment, and I will def be back to try another dish, and one of their beautiful sweet treats-the cheesecake looks devine!

Onehunga Cafe is the latest gem that gives a breath of fresh air to this forgotten area. I walk past this cafe on my way to work but never had the chance to venture inside for lunch until last week. It's pixelated array of colours make it very eye catching, and their casual and rustic eatery vibe is the perfect way to ease into this neighbourhood without sticking out like an outcast.
To drink, I was intrigued by the range of Six Barrel Soda Co drinks, and at the recommendation of the staff, I settled for the Celery Tonic despite my doubts about it (my first choice, ginger was sold out). It was delicious!! Light and refreshing, it was a taste that everyone would easily love.
To eat, I chose the Eggplant Kasundi which was so so moreish and hearty despite being a vegetarian dish with a slight pickled flavour that really wowed the palate. It would be nice if they could cut down the amounts of oil though- whilst the bread underneath soaked it up nicely, the dish left me feeling slightly uncomfortable about all the cholesterol I had just ingested..
My dining companion ordered the Pulled pork burger which came topped with an extremely generous amount of pulled pork. The bun was brioche which was quite buttery and fluffy- it turned the burger into the ultimate indulgence. The photos make the food portions look smaller than they are but believe me, they were quite generous and filling! I have been despairing over the smaller portion sizes of the latest eateries these days, and Onehunga Cafe has restored my faith.
The first time I came, I had a Mixed Berry smoothie to take away, which I didn't find worth for its price, but I have heard so many raves about their house shakes from my sister and co workers. The food here is amazing and the staff are friendly, definitely give it a try if you're in the area!

Been here a few times since it opened ... Very trendy inside... Nice to see the menu changed after summer season. The food is usually nice and abit different from the usual cafe style with the kitchen not closing after 2! Nice to have more menu choice than cabinet food. The chips are yum. The staff are friendly.. Sometimes it seems there is staff everywhere yet we are waiting to order.... Definitely one to try if you are in the area.
Came here after getting recommended from my boss and I wanted to head back right away! Service was great, coffee was awesome, and the Chicken and Waffles were bad ass! Only issue I could find was the place was quite cold as the doors were open but otherwise this places rocks! Keep up the great work!

Great place, great staff and cliental, Onehunga's the new Ponsonby hehe!
Right so we had the eggs bene and two big breakfasts, my bene was divine and my guests big breakfast a great size for the $22 only thing both of them said against it was that the sausages were kinda dry/odd.
Fast efficient service and great coffee too, well done guys.
Took a caramel slice away that was delicious also, highly recommend A+
Such great service and great quality food&drink. The only down fall was that as we went to sit, it tables were a bit dirty but that was the only complication. Definitely recommend and will go again!
I dropped in with my boyfriend for breakfast on a Sunday morning after a friends' recommendation. It was super busy but we were immediately shown to a table. We ordered coffee, the Apple Crumble Waffles and the Brisket Sandwich (or burger) as well as a side of fries.
The food was outstanding and the brisket was easily the best brisket we've had in NZ so far! One of our coffees were burnt, so I politely asked for a replacement. Our waitress returned with a new one, then five minutes following, the barista came and replaced not one, but BOTH of the coffees, while apologising for serving the original burnt coffee. It was the coolest thing ever- having more than one staff member show that level of care over their product and service is something you definitely don't see frequently.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the fantastic service, the food was outstanding and we will definitely become regulars of this great cafe!
Such a great cafe!
A real hidden gem if you don't travel to Onehunga often! Amazing chips and there meals are great!
I usually have the smashed avocado or a salad, both are good!
Come here all the time
Amazing food! So filling and delicious! The classic brisket burger still fails to bore me with its tenderness and juicy beef. It literally melts in your mouth. Love the home-made pickles too! Fries are always crispy when served and service is fast and friendly.
This is an outstanding cafe! An unpretentious atmosphere with helpful, proficient staff and capable of seating a group easily (with lots of tables inside and out.) The menu has some really interesting choices amongst the usual staples and our experience (myself, my wife, mother, sister + brother-in-law and their three primary aged kids) was very, very good. The coffee was excellent. I would come back in a heartbeat.
Randomly dropped in here during the weekend whilst walking the dog with a friend. Was very happy with my meal which was their take on an american favourite - fried chicken and waffles!
Admittedly, I couldn't finish the two large waffles, but what I did manage with the crispy chicken was certainly very delicious!
My friend had the fish and chips, which I tasted, and also equally enjoyed. The hand-cut agria fries tasted like 'real potatoes' and the fish had lovely fresh flakey texture.
Lovely service from the staff, although I must admit, cafes that are dog-friendly, always seem to have thoughtful and helpful people working there :-)
So went for brunch here this morning and it was pleasant. The staff always smile and super friendly. Food came out in decent time even though they were packed. Eggs bene was ave, fish n chips were great, chicken waffles were interesting, snickers shake was decent bt needed ice cream for thickness and the fresh mix juice was good too. Overall very satisfied with this new joint. Defo worth a visit!
I finally got to try Onehunga café after few of my friends’
recommendation. Heading at the main road of Onehunga, which can be drawn
attention quickly, three quarter open window, also brighten the whole café. I
like the district planning wallpaper, it looks cool.
They are making great pastry especially I love the scone,
lightly sweetened and blending of sultana. About the coffee, to be honestly it
was a bit overpressure, I could have taste the bitter. I will still call in
this place again.

Onehunga Cafe is located on Onehunga Mall Road and opened earlier this year, quite a new kid on the block but already proving very popular. This is the new go-to place for my workmates and I when we want a treat ourselves.
Onehunga Cafe’s decor is very simple, no fuss and plenty of tables inside and a few outside (if you don’t mind the busy traffic flow!). I’ve been here a few times now and all occasions have been really nice. Great and friendly service and the wait for food isn’t too long. The menu is South American inspired with Chicken & Waffles, Poh Boys and Pulled Pork Burgers available. YUMMM!! So think Orleans, Miss Clawdy style of food minus the gumbo and jambalaya.
I tried the Pork Belly Poh Boy with palm sugar marmalade, coleslaw and thinly sliced apples. This is delicious! Definitely one to try. I definitely preferred it over the Fried Prawn Poh Boy which had cashews, slaw, bean sprouts and mayo. The prawns had this weird tasting spice I just didn’t like, which is a shame because I LOVE prawns.
My workmate had the chicken burger which she said was pretty good but she had to pay extra for cheese! What’s up with that?! Pretty sure all burgers should come with cheese already! Another workmate of mine had the chicken salad which looked really fresh and fulling too. My vegetarian friend had a courgette, feta and cornbread dish which looked really pretty and she thought it was tasty.
If you are in Onehunga, this place is worth checking out. Next time I’m here I will try the breakfast menu or their chicken & waffles and see how it stacks up against Orleans’. Do try their hand cut agria fries though, I would just come here for that alone it’s so good! If you have a sweet tooth like me, they do have some cakes and other treats in their cabinet or try one of their yummy house shakes. There’s a peanut butter flavour mmm.
We had gone to dinner at this cool place just after it opened, and it was incredible. This morning I took our daughter, who is young and groovy. She thought there were some rather attractive waiters, oh, and the fish & Chips were great. I had the Eggs Bennie, call me boring, and they were great. Coffee excellent, and her Hot Choc was supreme. But the best thing for us was the sheer buzz in the place, Sunday morning, around 10.30 and she was humming, felt very cool to be apart of it. Call it church, do I hear an amen. Staff all seemed right into it and happy. Might try for a 3rd visit soon. way to go Onehunga cafe.
I am always keen to try new places in my neighbourhood so popped in here this morning with a friend for brunch. The cafe is pretty large inside and they don't cram people in together which is nice! The service was good and friendly. We both had coffees which were good and for food I had the rhubarb waffles and my friend had eggs Benedict with gluten free bread. My waffles were really tasty although massive so I didn't finish them and my friend loved her eggs Benedict and polished it off.
Will definitely come back!
I was keen to give this new addition a go - i went for brunch on a weekend and felt alittle out of place. I wasnt sure if we would get handed menus or we had to get them ourselves... after ordering there was a moderate wait.. the coffee was average.. the food was also average - nothing amazing! Although lots of food on the plate.
I came here 3 times each morning as I was working at a customer's office nearby. The service is always really good, friendly and helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the coffees each time AND I think I've sampled most of the sweet treats next to the counter. The muffins and brownies are just incredible, very soft, just the right texture and of course very tasty.
Coffee review only. Visited about 9.30am Thursday. Solo & takeaway coffee, but decided to linger to check it out.
This is the newest addition to Onehunga and much needed to add to the evening options for coffee & licenced eating.
Lots of seating - one big family group and many others. Nice to see lots of single seating (bar along the window).
Lovely friendly service.
Most importantly...DOUBLE SHOTS AS STANDARD! Sad that I should get so excited about this & annoying that it's a rare thing in Auckland. I liked that they do little takeaway cups as small. Coffee was great - lovely and smooth. Looking forward to trying the food.
Just be careful of the bench seats - not at all dangerous, just slide really easily while sitting on them.
Enjoyed a Saturday afternoon late lunch here, the fries were crisp, the burger simple and delicious, the waiheke rose perfect. The dips that came with the chips were really nice too. The tomato relish had an Indian taste, nice! Service was fine, they explained they were starting the evening crew and letting the morning crew go but it didn't affect us. Will return
Food is Amazing so delicious, coffee is also a hit when you need the caffeine. Great location and a good place to catch up with friends
The coffee tasted good, but the staff was displeased because they tried to take the plates quickly.
Delicious food and coffee. We had a great coffee time here after shopping at Dress Smart Outlet…
Lovely staff and restaurant. Yummy food 🥘
Went back for Good Friday Brunch with our mokos, noticed there is a playpen on the other end of the shop which we haven’t been the last we were here and toilet is so clean. Kudos 👍
If you are a fun of dressmart and you are hungry, this is a best and convenient cafe to be. It is located just beside dressmart. I recommend the southern fried chicken, yum with aioli dip. It is a busy cafe its like there is no downtime but we didnt wait that long for our order. They have outdoor table as well. Huge place for cafe. Good service with huge food option.
🚻♿
Easy to find place right next to a roundabout. Parking available around the streets.
Seating on the outside for the nice cooler air.
Lots of seating indoors a large spacious venue.
I ordered the pork, egg and 🧇 waffles which was delicious I have never had that before and that was a good choice (check my photo's)
Good service and meals 😋

Delicious food and coffee. Wonderfully friendly staff.
A great vegan, plant based menu
Would go again & recommend to others
Disability access and toilets
Scrumptious tacos! The iced coffee blend was thick and creamy too, nicely made. Service could’ve been more courteous
1st visit and food was tasty! Fish tacos were so delicious and coffee was great. What stood out to me the most was the kindness and empathy displayed by a young male working at the register. He asked if it was ok to order our coffees in 10mins to give the barista some time, as she was overwhelmed. Didn’t bother me at all and probably gave me more time to think of what order i’d like for lunch than panic order 😅
Recommended and will be back for sure!

We came by for lunch before heading into Dressmart. It wasn't too busy, we were lucky in that a booth became free just as we were about to be seated and ended up there. The place is fairly large and does have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is also covered so it doesn't look like there is a lot of direct sunlight on the tables.
They have cabinet food as well as a menu. There were quite a few things on the menu which looked good but I ended up going with the chicken waffles. I had the chocolate and coconut shake as well and that was quite nice. It had more of a coconut flavour than chocolate. The waffles were really nice. they were crispy on the outside and quite soft on the inside. IT was topped with the fried chicken, spicy maple syrup and a fried egg. I found that the maple soaked into the waffles quite fast making them quite soggy. They were still tasty but it didn't have the crunch that I liked. The chicken was fried nicely and that stayed crispy for the whole meal. My brother got the pork belly waffle and the pork belly was also fried nicely with nice flavour.
It was quite a nice stop for a meal. The servers were all friendly. they also had a play area but it was closed off when we were there.

Situated in the middle of Onehunga, this lovely eatery is the perfect place for your next business meeting or brunch.
Trading hours are 7:30 am to 3 pm Monday to Friday, and 8 am to 3:30 pm on weekends. Perks of visiting include free parking at the back, free Wi-Fi, booths with power points and an area for your little ones to play.
The menu is diverse – including American soul food, Mediterranean, Latin and vegan. Every diet is catered for.
On our last visit we treated ourselves to the wonderful range of breakfast/brunch options.
Menu items ordered:
- Onehunga Grill (breakfast sausage, your choice of eggs, mushrooms, roasted spuds, mini hash, grilled vine tomatoes, toast). DF, $23
-Farmer’s Waffles (American style waffles, house apple crumble, fresh strawberries, preserved peaches, marscapone whip, served with house salted caramel sauce) with side of hash brown V, $14 + $5.50
-2 Large trim lattes ($5.50 ea).
Cabinet/counter item(s) ordered:
-Chantilly cream doughnut ($5)
The vibe in here screams relaxed but hip.
The ceiling is gold and reflective (Very fun to look at). Fun fact: this used to be a music shop.
The coffee is very smoothly blended and the cups are different to most eateries – they are black with a lovely little handle. They keep the heat well so there’s no need to rush.
I highly recommend getting water for your table is so cool and refreshing.
The entire staff are hard-working and do their best to show you a fabulous, fun and delightful time. The food is fresh off the grill and is made with love, and you can tell.
Server shout out goes to Catherine for showing such kindness.
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Friendly staff, plenty of seating options indoors and outdoors, decent drinks selection, Snickers shake was delicious.
Angels on Horseback (bacon wrapped scallops) came with 3 enormous scallops wrapped in a very generous amount of bacon.
Chili and Spring Onion Steak was decent, but we weren't asked how we wanted it - it just came out Medium which was fine.
Ribs were a little disappointing - they were tasty, but the meat was a bit tough compared to other establishments where rib meat falls off the bone.
Moroccan Fish was quite good. Good value for money.
Pork belly tacos was incredible! Perfectly roasted pork belly, spicy sauce, fresh salsa and nice pickled vegetables.
Chicken waffles with a side of pork belly. Again, very flavorful. Chicken was in the brink of going on the drier side but was still a bit juicy.
Waffles with berry mascarpone compote was good. A bit too tangy though. Might be nice with a tiny drizzle of syrup.
Spiced calamari was delicious and crispy. Nice sauce with hints of jalapeños. Very nice.
Also ordered a peanut butter thickshake. Tastes like peanut butter but a bit too sweet. Might be nice with some bits of peanut butter/Reese's?
Overall, nice service and ambience :)
