We went for Sunday brunch and weren't disappointed: we loved the waffles and french toast. Delicious! Defo will be back �
Love these guys. The coffee is always excellent, the banter and chit chat is always uplifting and friendly and the food is delicious. Just like your grandma would make. What more do you need from your local?
Always impressed with thier friendly customer service
Super friendly staff, great food in both the cabinet and on the menu. All the cabinet food is made in store as well so it's nice and fresh. A very cute local cafe with a friendly and down to earth vibe. One of my favorites!
Visited this cafe on Sunday 23rd December. The food is amazing. We ordered the bacon and egg bap, chorizo eggs bene and avocado eggs bene. The food was delicious and very good value for money. This is a hidden gem. Quality food like a fancy Takapuna cafe without being pricey. Also has great parking out front. Will def be back.
$4.20 for a short black?
There's no denying that the short black / espresso I had tasted good and none of the sour taste that you get from most cafes.
If the short black was $3.50 (which I still think is overpriced for black coffee) I would have given a 5 star rating, but at $4.20 for a short black I won't be going back - I don't like supporting this kind of over pricing.
To highlight how bizarre the $4.20 is for a short black is, a piccolo coffee, which contains milk (an additional material) and the additional labour to steam the milk, is $4.20 as well... Consistent / logical pricing?
Their cabinet food looked great and I have eaten there many years ago and can confirm it was quality food.
Pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem. It's a little bit out of the way in a residential area but that doesn't stop it from being busy and bustling on Saturday morning. Theres a big shared table, a few smaller tables and also a couple of outdoor ones.
I got the eggs bene and my friend got the scrambled eggs with chorizo as well as some cabinet goods. They have a huge range of baked goodies ill definitely be back to try!
You can't get much more JAFFA than a smashed avo. So if you're feeling up for one of the North Shores best..just saying. Downside is sometimes we forget they are closed on a Sunday.
Fantastic food. I have to have my breakfast here everyday before i start work. It makes my day. I love it here so much. Great food. Allpress coffee made to perfection. Thank u William Souter Team 🌹🙏🏻
I drive past this place this place every day on my way too and from work and have never gone in....well that was a mistake!!
I popped in this morning with my son (school hols) and ordered the hotcakes for me which came with rubabarb, a lemon cream and pistachio nuts with a very generous amount of maple syrup.
It was really good, totally spot on and a random combination which worked (and i will steal for use at home)
My son grabbed the kids hotcakes which was also great, good portion sized too. This came with bananas and again a really good amount of maple syrup!
Coffee was allpress, nice and hot and arrived quick.
Really good service, happy staff , I will be going back in there for sure
The coffee shop changed hands a while back and it had a rocky change but now it's as good if not better then before.
Great counter food, great service
This is a local for us, so regret we didn't find it sooner. We have been many times over the last few months and we have recommended it to many. Forget the trendy venues in Taka where they trade on the venue, WSE delivers consistently on meals, take out food (omg the salted caramel peanut slice and the pies) Allpress coffee and they do it well.
It's out of the way but never been there when it hasn't been busy. Good service and the chef sometimes checks in to ensure you have enjoyed the food...passion...priceless!
Tried this place for the first time as it's in quite a hidden spot in a residential area. Wish I'd found it sooner! I had hotcakes which were perfection. Lovely, luscious poached fruits, ricotta, pistachios, she'll all atop fluffy hotcakes. Heaps of vegetarian options which I'm always on the lookout for, but with the option to add non-veg sides. Delicious coffee too. Nice vibe here, busy but a variety of seating for small or big groups.
Great coffee, great food and great service! I go there way too many times in a week, but the food is awesome - Matt makes the best pies ever!
Just popped in for a late lunch after a friend recommended this great little cafe. Excellent selection of food. Had a delicious chicken wrap with corn salsa, coffee and a spicy chai latte but will definitely be back with some friends to try out the delicious sounding blackboard menu very soon. Brilliant music, service and friendly staff.
What a neat cafe , went walking with a friend and had been told about this cafe and so popped down . The service was the best.
The muffins were super fresh still warm .
The staff were very friendly and i would recommend this great cafe to anyone wanting a relaxing coffee and yummy treat to have there or takeaway . Superfast service too . Thank you
Fabulous breakfast yesterday. Great coffee. Well worth the drive.
Found this place hidden away from the busy main street. It's a small cafe with delicious food and dessert. Their blueberry waffle was great! Worth a visit if you are around the area and is looking for a good place to chill and have a good meal.
Outstanding food especially the French toast. Very good coffee too.
Visited again today (12 June) for a family birthday. Food and service just as good as before.
Great little local Cafe! The coffee is wonderful and their cheese scones toasted are the absolute best. Thank you
Lovely place, wonderful food, friendly staffs made our happy gathering with friends so amazing. Coffee with coconut milk was the best ever. It is a good place to chill and have a good meal.
Lovely food choice and good seating in and outside. Quiet street. Good parking.
Very good meal of creamy mushrooms on toast. Tasted way better than it presented
Coffee was good
Worth a visit if your passing though

Unfortunately too expensive now to continue enjoying William Souter.
One would think during hard times increasing prices is futile.
Good coffee, and friendly service.
Been a loyal customer since the start.
Easy parking outside, huge range of cabinet food plus menu items. Lovely friendly staff and good pricing. Will be back!!
There are lot of cake and my cake(black forest)was very delicious!! I spent peaceful time alone with nice coffee. Thanks
The best muffin in town, my go to place for breakfast.
