Only a quick visit for a takeaway coffee however I was impressed, wonderful friendly service and coffee was really good. Will be back to try the food!
Still reminiscing about the pumpkin and walnut sourdough sandwich I had for lunch today at Allpress cafe on Drake St. It was warm, a little bit gooey and chewy without being oily or too messy. The soy flat white that companioned the lunch plate was also robust and smooth. Things I liked about Caffettaria Allpress:
Unique decor compared to most cafes in Auckland, Allpress is one of those sexy cadres that also serve a amazing cuppa.
Dropping by for a quick caffeine boosts, we were surprised at the quality of our brew and have vowed to come back soon.
Showstopper: Pulchritudinous
Overall Grade: B+
Great group of people who work there, awesome coffee and really good brekky/brunch/lunch/snack options regardless of what you feel like. The attached art gallery with weekly changing exhibitions always adds a little something extra :)
AMAZING COFFEE!
The coffee came piping hot and it is full of flavour!
Very keen to come back and try their food menu sometime!
and again...AMAZING COFFEE!
The best coffee in town, fantastic staff, fast service. If you would like to start your day with a great coffee served by smiling people then this is the place to visit. Anyday anytime I would love a coffee here.
Love Allpress coffee and everything looked divine in the Allpress Cafe. Especially the sandwiches. Kitchen staff were more friendly than the front service staff.
가희 최고의 커피숍이라고 생각한다. 뉴질랜드에서 가장 맛있다고. 할수 있다. 분위기 맛 서비스. 무엇하나 포기할수 없다면 자신있게 추천한다. 들어서는 순간 향긋한 원두향이. 당신의 코를 자극할 것이다. 이미 유명해질 만큼 유명해진 원두지만. 아직도 모르고 있다면. 꼭 마셔보길 권한다.
Great little cafe with fantastic coffee. Always been a fan of their toasted sandwiches (mainly the tuna one). Nice and simple coffee house which is great for chilling out by yourself on a nice Saturday morning after a morning workout.
Me and my work friends visit here once every week or three for coffee. Its one of the best cafes in the central Auckland area. Coffee has been 'bang on' consistently excellent every time. Staff are probably not the most over friendly, but they are certainly efficient. Its a shame they can be a little surly. The counter food, brioches, slices etc are very good and i've never been disappointed with this cafe. Will keep on going back. My only gripe (if you can even call it that) is the size vs price of their regular flat white. The cups seem a little teeny tiny for the price you pay, but I guess thats the going rate in the central city, and i'm picking their overheads are pretty jolly high. The coffees always so good that I can't actually say the cup size is a complaint, its just that one cups not ever enough :-)
I've become a regular here and find the coffee and food outstanding every time. I would have to say the coffee is the best I've had in the area for a while. My most recent visit was 6 October 2012.
While the menu is mainly cabinet food (i.e no fancy meals) it's fresh and always well presented and you never leave feeling hungry.
The staff are always friendly, well presented and polite - and most importantly the food is delivered quickly. They are definitely a professional team who work here - no messing around.
The cafe itself is reasonably comfortable, although can feel a little cold/industrial due to the design (maybe some cushions and a bit of colour would be nice inside and out?) It would be great to see some free wi-fi for using your tablet computer to read the news and send email etc. I don't notice any music either, although not sure it matters much.
I highly recommend this place to meet up during the week with work colleagues, or even just for a coffee after the gym on a Saturday with friends.
I went here today as someone else had arranged the meeting place. I checked out the reviews and thought oh no. Fortunately something has changed, for the better. The place was humming. The staff were generally friendly (non were unfriendly), the coffee was excellent, and the food was pretty damn tasty. The food was limited to cabinet and heat and eat, as far as i could see. We had 2 coffees each (flat whites), cinnamon brioche and lemon syrup cake. All went down really well. I recommend this place.
I usually go to this place for a coffee before I go to work. The main reason is the coffee. Perfect every time. The second reason is to read the paper and set myself up for the day. Staff are great and provide just what I want at this time of day. Coffee and paper. Not looking for chit chat. 5 stars.
I love this cafe - the food's wonderful, the coffee superb and the staff friendly. A perfect place for a little morning treat.
Without doubt the best coffee in Auckland! Have had coffee at heaps of places, but only Allpress seem to have the knack of being able to make it perfectly every time... Also the biscuits and food on offer is always the highest quality, go for the egg and prosciutto bap if you need a recommendation!
Stunning location, friendly staff and great coffee!
Perfect flatwhites and affordable sandwiches.
My original experience of allpress was down in Dunedin, which had set quite high expectations. Now I have found a slice of my Dunedin memory now in Auckland.
Flatwhites taste delicious - nothing to fault and i love the allpress roasts!
Sandwiches were fresh and affordable! Toasted for the crunchiness on the outside.
Free customer parking in front - which is a huge plus as its in thr CBD area.
Atmosphere is beautiful with a gallery seating setting.
Service was super friendly and was helpful in explaining throughout.
Will come again!

Allpress Espresso Roastery is a must-visit for coffee connoisseurs. Immerse yourself in the aroma of freshly roasted beans and enjoy a perfectly crafted cup of coffee. The spacious venue and knowledgeable staff create a welcoming environment for coffee lovers to appreciate their craft.
Settle within an art gallery attached to the cafe, Allpress Roastery Auckland offers perfect barista coffee, delicious food and great service. Highly recommend
Superb Coffee and tasty food enthusiastically presented by welcoming staff. 😊
This popular place has a lively buzz from relaxed customers meeting, chatting, hanging out, doing (and not doing) stuff. LOL 😎
A good place to go have a coffee if you are nearby Victoria park. Good prices and amazing coffee! Love the atmosphere and service was excellent.
The coffee shop is one of a kind. Allppress have an extension space for gallery, that sometimes held an events.
Seriously one of the best coffee spots/roasters in Auckland! Great service, fresh as F… coffee and really good cabinet food. Can’t beat it in central Auckland
Best coffee shop around. Can't get fresher than a roastery for your coffee.
Food is fresh and delicious.
And their beans are top, the only ones we use in our machine at home.
Such a gem that is hidden. Wouldn't have found it if I didn't decide to wonder down the side streets. Definitely comming back

Great coffee and nice food. A little pricey.
Why doesn't every cafe serve Eggs & Soldiers. Brilliant. And always a perfectly curated long black (so many places get that wrong).
Great atmosphere for a coffee or morning tea. Good friendly team. Got stuck today behind someone ordering $100 of coffee and it didn't affect the time it took me to get my order. Good service in my book. Nice variety of beans and baking on offer too.
Taking about having coffee in an little art gallery
Very beautiful place, inspiring, not to cheap but nice and delicious food, some more options in the menu would be perfect - but definitely recommend!
Great coffee. Loved being able to buy an Auckland Studio Potters mug to have my coffee in for Art Week.
I have been drinking Allpress Coffee for many years now. If you after a good cup of coffee, Allpress is definitely the right choice.
The staff at this location are super friendly, they are efficient and professional. Highly recommended!
