The food and coffee are amazing as usual but this time the kid's chicken tender is a bit dry. Overall still very good. We'll come back again.

Dined here on a slightly busy Saturday but the service and food we received was better than other cafes that weren't busy. We were luckily seated right away as we walked in. The food we ordered was filling and definitely worth the trip from the other side of the bridge. Coffee was served quickly and still tasted good. Overall will gladly go back eventhough its a bit of a drive and theres bread and butter outlets closer to home.

Bread and Butter is a nice little cafe with an aesthetically pleasing environment. I ordered a side of chips (yum) and my friend got the smash. First note: gorgeous presentation!! Like seriously this is the place to go for instagrammable food. The size did look a little small, and probably not the best value for $20

My partner and I went for brunch in the weekend and it was SUPER busy. We were virtually ignored by staff the whole time (we weren’t seated, handed menus, our order wasn’t taken - we had to go to the counter to place etc), but the food came out fast. Fairly small portions for the price, but good quality and tasty coffee.

Situated at a cute busy Milford town centre. Food as good as Grey Lynn branch. Service is great, fast and friendly. We ordered the big brekkie and chicken&mushroom pie with side fries. Our favourite is actually their baguette. We takeaway one original and sourdough baguettes. The original one is better though. One of our favs brunch spots!

So delicious. I ordered a vege roll (toasted) and the quinoa salad. There were no vegan options on the menu, however the staff were more than happy to adjust what was available. They removed the cheese from the toasted roll, and swapped the haloumi for mushrooms in the salad for no extra charge. Sparkling water is also served at the table which was very refreshing!

"Breakfast of Champignons"

Proof that simplicity can have just as much flavour as complex dishes. Some of the best breakfast mushrooms I've tried in a while - moist, flavourful, fresh, and with that texture that resonates a good squeaky Halloumi cheese. The egg was perfectly poached, bacon was cooked well too, and I was in pesto heaven with the spread underneath. Finally, the butter sause that accompanies the mushrooms deserves an award, as it had me struggling to discard my good manners and lick the bowl clean; not too creamy, not too watery - a bit like a milky broth of fungal deliciousness. If you like mushrooms on toast, I'd highly recommend you try this.

Food aside: Perfect atmosphere, attentive yet not over-bearing staff, and good coffee. No faults found.

I, am a happy guy 🥂

Absolutely the best place in Milford to enjoy comfortable environment and friendly service for brunch!! All day breakfast and all day lunch menu rock!

We ordered French Toast and Hola Benedict. They are soooooooo delicious and beautifully presented. The croissants are yummy as hell! Eggs are awesomely made. Hands down 5 stars!!

I asked if they could make anything vegan: The avocado toast is vegan if you order it without the egg, the sago is vegan, and they can make the avocado salad vegan. I just felt like toast, so they were kind enough to make me a sandwich with sourdough bread, hummus, and roasted veggies. It was delicious!
I ordered a flat white with almond milk. The medium size is other cafes large, and they know how to make a good almond milk coffee!
Definitely one of the best coffee's I have had at a cafe, and such a yummy sandwich!

Been meaning to try this cafe as everytime we walk past its always jam packed.
I ordered the Breakfast for the Champignons and a sweet chai latte.
I prefer creamy mushrooms and their version (consistency and flavour) just didn't cut it for me. 
Sweet chai latte was okay - not sweet and creamy.
I still liked the food and drink but I would probably order their pastry and desserts if I come back.

I would rate it 3.5 stars (but can't seem to do any .5 marks on zomato now)

Lovely little cafe to enjoy a yummy brunch.

My friend and I were greeted and served promptly by a very nice lady at 'Bread & Butter'. I ordered the 'Mighty Raw Salad' (and added grilled free range chicken), while my friend ordered the 'Wagyu Burger'.

While we waited for our food, we talked and enjoyed the lovely aesthetic of the cafe. It had a pleasant blue, white and brown colour theme, a quirky wall (with kitchen trays) and cool whisk lights. The overall atmosphere of the cafe was lovely and enjoyable.

The food was not only beautifully presented but tasted delicious. I enjoyed all components and flavours of the salad, but I thought the portion size of the salad should've been larger. (It was spread out on the plate to make it seem like there was more food than what was actually there.) Also the price ($6.50) of the chicken add on was quite expensive and I felt my salad deserved at least an extra two pieces. The large steak fries my friend had with her burger were yummy too - especially dipped in the cafe's special sauce.

Recommendations: Go for the salads if you want something easy and not messy to eat.

Brunch here was really nice. The ambience and decor was lovely and the place felt spacious and open. Cute and quirky wall decorations as well. The wagyu burger with fries was really good and very filling if a bit on the drier side. The sauce for the fries was also amazing. Iced coffee was good. Standard pricing for most brunch meals but definitely not going to be a common occurrence ($21 for the main).

Absolutely delicious food, super bright and colourful. Drinks were also lovely and summery. Amazing menu with a wide variety of options but Some advice is to be mindful about busy times as you might find yourself without a table because it seems to be a very popular cafe. Totally coming back here!

Had Coffee and pastry here to take a break from the busy Takapuna. The flatwhite was just average. The danish could do better with a bit more warming - It was as cold as Auckland's winter. Level of service was not that good, perhaps because I came in near to their closing time - Don't come in last minute, guys & gals 😁

Went there for brunch on Monday last week around 11 o clock. They are quite busy at the moment but we have managed seat straight away. Coffee came really fast and good quality. We had one salad and beef burger. My salad is nice presentation and tasty (healthy option). But my friend quite disappointed by the size of the beef burger(¥20 for just one beef, bun and a few green salad).

But they provide very great cabinet food that looks sooo yum! Maybe next time try their more on cabinet?

◻Good service
◻Awesome counter food
◻Gets very busy

Today was a wedding anniversary breakfast/date, so we picked Bread and Butter.
Its a great coffee shop, modern, happy staff and good counter food.
Today though was a bit hit and miss,
I ordered the hot cake with fruit and maple syrup, hot cake was perfect, fluffy and tasty, great presentation but 3 berries? Bit disapointing.
My wife ordered the fruit bowl, well, you cant really go wrong there, but it was on the small size.
Non of the above would stop me going back, just note portion size is a bit small.
Food is tasty and the coffees were spot on and service was quick

First of all, I am a huge sucker for avocado on toast. But this was the best I have ever ordered from a cafe. Their bread was the point of difference for me because they offer a selection of bread choices that aren't available from other stores and highly unique. I had avocado on pumpkin bread and it was perfect!! Subtle pumpkin taste but you can definitely taste it without it over flavoring the other parts of the meal. Perfect combination and a must try for any lovers of a good smashed avo on toast! The boyfriend got the big breakfast type of meal and he found it very yummy as well. Although he said he preferred having the pumpkin bread over the one that came with his meal but other than that he said it was a highly satisfying. Overall their bread is what makes them different from other cafes so if you're not planning on ordering a meal that involves bread, it might not wow you as much as it did me

Have a Sunday drive around Milford and spotted this cafe and gave it a try. Food is not too bad. Tried the almond croissant and avocado salads i will said taste wise pretty average 3/5. Quite pricey though, maybe for classy people 2/5 for price on food. Had latte for coffee - i will say WOW!! It's nice. Strong! Hardly get latte that strong... coffee 5/5.
My friend ordered hot chocolate she says was average 3/5.
Apart from price wise is ok place for coffee and catch up. Will i come back? Yes for coffee and will try some other food maybe egg benedict next time..

Wow this place is awesome! We came for brunch today. Both of our brunches were so delicious, and the coffee was great too.

Bread & Butter have perfected the modern all family cafe chain in much the same way that Mojo have done the same thing with the business crowd. It has an indie feel without being indie. There is a great menu, a fantastic cabinet selection, friendly service and a general happy ambiance. This one at Milford was heaving with amateur diners and it was just accident we managed to get a table. Breakfast salad was delicious, although lacking a bit in avocado, and apparently the soy brand needs to be changed according to one of our soy drinking party, but otherwise we were very impressed.

Very wholesome and hearty food on the menu. Visited today on a nice sunny winter day and sat outside.
Nice to see heaters on outside. Also happy to see half portions.
Nice choice of quality teas from the Harleys range.
We both chose soup as being a winters day, soup was fitting.
Wonderful vegetable and ham soup served with a big slice of their lovely bread.
I'm going back next weekend as I hear they have mushroom soup on the menu.
Lovely attentive service from their staff. Watch out for the very loud mummy's outside though hogging the pavement and letting everyone (probably inside aswell) hear their conversations. That was the only downside :-)

I went here with my mum and partner today for lunch. This cafe is a cute place and I loved the decorations! Rolling pin lights and old baking trays on the wall!

The service was really good, we arrived got offered menus and water straight away. Orders taken not too long after which was nice. I ordered the hotcake, my mum had the calamari and my partner had the chef special "The Monster".

The food was delicious, all the components were really nice and worked well together! However on my hotcake their were seeds and nuts as a garnish. This wasn't on the menu and for someone who is really allergic to peanuts I would suggest you put it on the menu incase other people have allergies.

The reason why I didn't give you a perfect score is that while we were waiting for our food we noticed a few of the staff members eating chips off customers plates BEFORE they even went out. To me doing that in such a public way is not a good look for a cafe. I hope that if I come in again I don't see this happening.

I had a good dining experience at Bread & Butter recently! I wouldn't call their menu extremely innovative but what they did offer was good quality and pretty filling. I enjoyed the crispy squid salad but wasn't a big fan of the hot cakes or crumbed fish tacos - they weren't bad but weren't too great either. I hear that their fresh baked breads are delicious here so I'm looking forward to trying that on my next visit!

First visit to bread and butter bakery in Milford.
It was 3:30pm and they almost closed shop (business open until 4pm).
No many people, except us and a table with 2 ladies were having their tea time.

We ordered 4 Madeleine, a au pain raisin and a cup of coffee.

Madeleine and au pain raisin were so good.

It is usually very pack in the morning. Get there early to get your seat.

So I thought I would check this place out since I've seen it so busy. I ordered a iced mocha with soy milk WOW I'm not even a coffee fan but thought I would give it a go. My parents bought coffees they were instantly impressed. I'm yet to try their food I can't wait. What I was very pleased was that I had asked them if they could please wash the blender out if it had almond milk in it previously as I'm highly allergic to nuts and they were happy too. Great stuff guys! !

This might be a new favourite for me on the shore. The waitress was very efficient in getting our orders and the food was very quick to the table too. Although the cabinet food looked very tempting I decided on the brioche French toast with fruit, bacon and maple syrup. It was beautifully presented and the combination of syrup, fruit, bacon and brioche was perfect. I also tried the caramel protein smoothie which was smooth and creamy and guilt-free because it's made from real, healthy ingredients. I look forward to my next visit 👍🏽

Ever popular Bread & Butter is our weekend "go to" for artisan bread centric dishes. Had the breakfast of champignons on one occasion and their BLT on a pretzel baguette on another. The former was made zingy with balsamic vinegar. The latter was great, but could benefit with some toasting. Service is always friendly and prompt considering constant demand. Worth a visit, but not so much a lazy dawdle on crazy days unless your thick skinned enough to ignore social cues from those in queues. :)

Not too pricey recommend this salad its so filling doesn't leave you bloated. The salad in this photo is quinoa salad free range chicken and haloumi cheese. It was super devine quiet a good portion. It's also a bakery as well where you can get gourmet brownies, crossiants and little wee cakes and they also offer gluten free options. Staff are lovely as well even makes it more welcoming. Will go back to try another option but this definitely hit the spot especially if you're trying to eat clean 😊

Bread and butter in Takapuna is a great place for brunch with a variety deli food and menu selection and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a quick bite or casual catch up this place would be perfect, with nice industrial aesthetics. Try the Wagyu beef burger :) recommended! It's quite convenient as well as its quite close to New world and Countdown which you could possibly do your groceries straight after down the road.

It's a very modern looking cafe and extremely popular. We've been going to this place for at least a year and a half, literally from the day it started. In between the service got a bit tardy, but it's now back to a good standard. The baristas are turning out really good coffee as well, which is the reason we'd choose to visit. It's well worth the trip.

Just great food! I was (surprisingly) just a little disappointed with the bread selection. While many of the breads are wonderful, they all seem very dense (sometimes nice, like with the breakfasts they serve) , and was looking for something akin to the Wild Wheat - Wheat Sourdough as a general purpose loaf I can buy once or twice a week locally.

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. There were no tables when we turned up but we're asked if we could wait for a few minutes, and in less than 3 they had made room for us. I was then blown away at how fast they got our meals out to us when the place was packed out. Waited less than 10 mins for food to be in front of us.
