I ordered the buttermilk pancakes. The pancakes were smaller than I imagined and slightly burnt but it tasted fine. There are little bits of chocolate shavings on top as mentioned on the menu. The banana and maple syrup went well together. A small serving of cream milk was also brought out for the pancakes but I didnt really need it. Menu is priced cheaper than other places. Very friendly service and nice coffee.

I come here ALOT! It used to be my favorite lunch time spot. Delicious food, I feel like I always eat the same things, it’s either the pasta of the day from the cabinets or the chicken salad from the menu, both are my favorites. I love their white chocolate latte and I have also tried the beetroot juice which I quite like. Not a fan of their iced coffee thou, tasted like water. Service is amazing, I love that they always bring over a cup of sparkling water every time I have my lunch there. Environment is great too, cute little place with a few tables inside and outside, always clean and tidy.

Great food, great staff, and most important, amazing coffee. The wait time is short, while keeping to its standard. Have chosen this place as my go-to cafe for my coffee every morning.

Cute little brunch place ☺️ not the biggest menu but it's nice and simple. Presentation was so nice and very aesthetically pleasing
Got a blueberry smoothie and it was amazing 😍 best smoothie I've ever had.
I also got a bagel with salmon, and there was a little too much cream cheese and not enough salmon. I ended up scraping most of it off.
My friend got a falafel salad and I was quite jealous it tasted so good 😋

Clean and bright ambience. Tiny cafe with just a few tables. Had the cheese and ham baguette. Nothing outstanding. Pretty dry to be honest. Would be good with either butter or salad as it was on the dry side.
Plus side serves all press coffee. All up pretty pricey for a skinny small baguette and a coffee. Nearly $15.
Clearly favoured by the office set at lunch.
Nothing outstanding however.

Superior food for this type of "hole in the wall but sit-down" lunch spot right in the CBD.  It's clean and clear decor, imaginative selection of lunch bites (agree the smoked kahawai with jalapeño is a blast of a baguette) and good coffee.  You wouldn't come here to discuss state secrets but it's a great find.  
Will have to try breakfast some time soon.

Good little cafe. And I do mean little, this is a cosy spot. Great for a spot of breakfast, lunch or a coffee but not if you want a bit of quiet or space to chat. I've been here several times for breakfast and it has felt a little cramped. Coffee has been good on the times I've visited. They do amazing avocado on toast which if you haven't been here before is really worth the try.

Great coffee, sanduiches and cinnamon brioche! A great place to start the day. Will go back to try all other options in the menu. A bit pricy, but worth it.

In love with the smoked kahawai and jalapeño baguette here. A flat white is a perfect accompaniment. The place is small but has great ambience. Service is friendly but borders on slow at times.

Been to this place for lunch. Nice touch that they do sparkling water for the table, nice and friendly staff. Menu is a little limited but OK.
I had poached eggs on toast with bacon. The bread was too tough, it was really hard to cut through it and maybe a little salad on the side would be nice...otherwise 18bucks is a little too much for this dish. 
Coffee is nice though and sandwiches look yum:)

My favourite breakfast spot. I love the smashed avocado on lightly toasted ciabatta (?) I always ask for 2 poached eggs on that, you all graciously oblige. and. it's. So. Good. I love that you have coconut sugar at the table it's a sweet little touch that makes you guys a tiny bit more special than the other cafes about. AND you guys are smiley and I have always found your team warm. I need to return, I had a bad avocado experience this morning up the road and kicked myself for not coming to you. So I'll be back again soon thanks for being a great place to get breakfast.

Amazing customer service! Went in to get sandwiches, my mum thought we had ordered a sandwich different to the one she got. Their was no hesitation to get it swapped for another - my mother is glad she didn't though as it was delicious. We were waiting for my sandwich to come when we received a surprise - a beautiful piece of brownie to share. Although not necessary it was a really nice thing to do...

The sandwiches that we had were outstanding!

Arguably one of the best cafes Auckland CBD has to offer. Peter of Benediction and Gala fame has created this quaint cafe with a very unique flavour. The originality lies in the simplicity of Giles and is visible from a beautiful rendition of sunny-side eggs which is lovingly called "My Mother-in-law's Masala Eggs" (a must-try!)

I can't help but pin it as an Indian inspired European eatery as the absolutely delectable masala eggs and lamb mince on toast remind me of breakfast in India. The Kale-Apple-Lemon Smoothie is heavenly, not to mention super healthy as is the case with the other unique smoothie and fresh juice blends. Last, but not least the tea-cured salmon along with their daily soup and salad coupled with excellent and prompt service makes Giles an exquisite dining experience.

I could have given 5, but 4 for their good coffee and scones. Little bit of improvement required in customer service. Guy at counter was little rude while serving.

Lovely staff. Kier and Alex ensure every experience and conversation is warm and friendly. Music is light, atmosphere relaxing and bright. Food great, the chef really knows their stuff and is willing to accommodate allergies etc to the best of their capacity. Coffee also excellent, no burnt milk or coffee in sight. Thankyou so much team !
