**Service Complaint** We visited on 22/04/17 & had to chase up our Seafood basket, we also got given 4 garlic bread instead of the 2 we ordered then told we could keep the other 2 if we paid an extra $3, when they could've offered it to us for free as a gesture of goodwill for having to chase up the seafood basket plus the extra wait time because when it finally came when we had finished our meal. Asides this though, the food was great as usual! �
We celebrated our baby's baptism with a late lunch here on Sunday afternoon for 35 people. The service was great and the guests enjoyed the food and the relaxed atmosphere.
Whenever I want comfort food for eg a simple steak meal or a fish burger or big breakfast this is the place to go. Big portions and good food and a reasonable price. They have the best kumara fries and aioli and I love their fish burgers.
The fish and chips was very fresh, affordably priced, and a generous serving. That's all I have to say. It came with a salad which was OK. Cheers.
Our family love this place! The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble (I seem to always say that). The decor is lovely and there are plenty of tables outside also. My favourite thing to order is a fish burger.
Like how this place closes late on weeknights. My wife & I dine have eaten here a couple of times. Our latest experience had its ups & downs. We weren't seated when we showed up just given menus and chose where we wished to sit. Our orders were taken quickly enough. My wife ordered a steak and egg meal. Unfortunately her egg wasn't cooked properly and the egg white was still raw which we sent back for refrying. We didn't receive an apology for this basic cooking error. The chefs special pasta on the other was a nice blend of flavours. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The garlic bread we had as sides was also a treat and went down well. Decent price, would return again.
Been here 3x now. The girls are polite they smile but seems almost robotic. The food here is great. I loove the crostini dish. It is an entre but i actually have it as a main.. lol. They have THE BEST KUMARA CHIPS!!!! No one compares.
:( ordered butter chicken hour before closing and was given (what looked like) reheated butter chicken and burnt rice. They weren’t willing to refund our money but eventually did. Won’t be going back. But hope they pick their standards up as it is in a nice area.
I have been eating here for years and although some days it hasnt been the best of service from the waiters or waitresses the food has always been great. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for nice hearty food at affordable prices.
Visited on Friday 2/2/18 and had the clat, kumara fries, seafood basket and a mocha. Loved the clat and mocha but the seafod basket was almost inedible except for the fries. The kumara fries wasn't fresh but it was still enjoyable. We had to get our own menus but we come here often enough we didn't mind and service was prompt (this time). Affordable prices and good location to people watch.
Awsome service and amazing meals. We didnt wait long either. I enjoyed my steak nd kumara chips wif spring rolls was just soo
.. Perfecto 👌🏽
Price is good for me. Usually go here if I feel like eating steak. Or a cheap dine out for family. Service is mostly a let down. Long wait times for food to arrive or taking orders. I'll still go here though because it's affordable. Foods ok.
Been here for breakfast and lunch. Love their chorizo in mushroom sauce thingy bob. I forgot what it was called but it was delicious. I normally order their sirloin steak with fries and my goodness the food is delicious. if you're big on fries these guys have the best in town perfectly salted with the nicest sauce to compliment it. Must try if in Auckland or near Mangere bridge

Called into this restaurant with my mother for lunch. Staff were friendly and provided prompt service. The waitress was polite and helped go through the menu in detail to assist us (as we were first time visitors). She did extremely well accomodating my mother who lacks dining etiquette. We ordered the seafood basket with a side of garlic bread and the sirlion steak, salad and eggs with a side of garlic mushrooms. These were sided with shoestring fries and aioli sauce. The servings were very generous. Overall the food was delicious. The best cooked steak I've eaten outside of a steakhouse. Excellent quality cut meat. I tried the Passionfruit Smoothie - delicious and very refreshing with little fruit jelly surprises however too sweet for my palate. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her cappuccino. This is a massive compliment because she not a coffee connoisseur. I would definately go back again to try the burgers, pasta dishes and/or the ethnic meals. A lovely spot in a small but busy shopping village nestled on the shoreline of Manukau Harbour.

I went to coronation cafe today , I usually order a fish burger and chips but thought I would try something else , I had the satay burger and it was so good , because this is my local I always go to Atleast once a week I definitely rate it 5 stars 😍
I have been going to CRC for about 3yrs, in that time I have eaten just about every meal more than twice, what I look for within the food industry is quality, quantity, value, presentation, service, overall consistency right across the board. To be honest I can order any meal on any given day and it will be done exactly how I like it, outstanding. I don't eat anywhere else in Auckland.
I had the steak meal and it was delicious came with chips & salad. Chips had a yummy aioli sauce & you have got to try their mocha it is the best I have tasted.
Our favourite restaurant! Been coming here for over 2 years everything we've tried on the menu has been amazing (our favourites are the clat salad and the Sirloin) , their dessert cabinet is full of beautiful cakes & slices with movenpick icecream to top it off. Prices are excellent & service is fast and friendly.
I eat here all the time, the portion sizes are generous, the menu has a large variety of choices, the prices are affordable, the staff are helpful and organised and the wait time for food is short. The best shoe string fries I've ever had.
Went in here, as it is local, looking for gluten free food, not very many options. Nice, friendly staff, and ended up ordering a ginger crunch. Was quite nice but very soggy.
I ordered me my first Big Breakfast this afternoon at this Café and I must say it was very yum. Besides the great food we were served, our waitress who took our order was very rude and didn't have any good customer service skills at all whatsoever when a simple question was asked her answer was "It doesn't work that way" in a grunt. Instead she could've been polite and said sorry our cafe/restaurant does not do that. As a customer after being spoken to like that did not make me feel valued at all. The rest of the staff were great though!
Mocha review; I have recently become addicted to coffee because of this place, I always order a large mocha to take away and it tastes like a dark hot chocolate. The perfect combination of bitterness and sweet. Thank you so much.
I eat out alot and this place always hits the spot. Food is great, always has been. I started coming here about 6 months ago and have since been coming sometimes 2-3 times per week for either breakfast, lunch or dinner. Im in love with their Salmon dish and their burger or pasta meals are affordable and portions are great value for money. The service is great and the wait staff are very kind, Ive also noticed the food never takes too long to get to our table, even when they have large groups dining in. I work alot and finish late so when i cant be fussed cooking after a long day im glad I can count on this place to be open as they close at 10pm most days. The only dissappointing dish I have tried at this place would be the potobello mushrooms which lacked flavour. Everthing else Ive tried is delicious. 😊

I love this place. Me and my partner go there all the time. The quality of food is amazing for the price you pay and food preperation time is what as expected. However I will comment on the lack of quick service they have as quite often, we seat ourselves and grab the menu. A smile wouldn't hurt as well lol

Local food is the place to go!
Been here a couple of times and the food is amazing and is always consistent. Food comes out on time and there's a lot of variety to choice from which is good. Staff can be a bit rude at times, like reaching over people to grab dirty dishes or rushing orders.
Definitely a place to try (:
I have only been here once but I enjoyed it very much. Sitting outside on a balmy summers evening was great. Service was fast and friendly, clean and tidy. I had fish and chips (not very daring, I know) which came with a nice salad and tartare sauce. The serving was quite generous - filled me up anyway. I would certainly go back again if the chance arose.
Love this small little restaurant in the heart of mangere bridge, I love the carbonara pasta x awesome staff
This cafe is really good and the prices are reasonable..I have tried several dishes at Coronation. I love the chicken salad..they give you so much and very well presented. I can never finish it, but for the price you pay its such good value. As all their meals are. I love the kumara chips I tried for the first time last week too. Their coffee and smoothies are really good too. We always go out for lunch there when ever we visit Mangere Bridge
Great value for money!
We went out for a family lunch (with young children) and were very pleased. They were busy, yet the meals and drinks come out quickly - overall the service was excellent. Meals were very tasty, including the kids meals. My husband thought the burger he had was one of the best ever. A great menu selection at extremely good prices. We will add this restaurant to our list of favourite places to eat! Many thanks
Amazing service, amazing food, great prices. Well done guys! Can't ask for more! Will definitely be back!!!
Ordered the fish burger. It was massive with a whole lot of chips! For only $10.50!! Food was served very quickly after ordering, and it certainly wasn't lacking anything
We ate there last night on recommendation from a colleague, and were pleasantly surprised by the good food and great service. The CLAT I had was the most tender chicken I've had, and the Scotch fillet served to one of my family members was described as perfectly tender. The service was quick, we received our food within 5-10 min and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside on the sidewalk, taking in the village atmosphere. I will definitely go there again, and can highly recommend this restaurant
Went there as part of a group of 15 for a family party. Sat outside, lovely summers evening. The restaurant was quite full and busy but the service was always quite good, only had a slight delay with getting water after all the other drinks were served. Because we were such a large group I thought the food would take a while, but the first meals came in only 10 minutes. I had fish and chips. It came with a large side salad, really nice dressing and sauce, two pieces of fish and chips. The salad and fish were very nice, the chips were a bit skinny for my taste, but still enjoyable. A large meal at a reasonable price, served quickly by friendly staff. A very enjoyable meal out. Didn't have dessert, but lots to choose from the cabinet.

I booked two hours before I was planning on an Xmas meal with family. Booking over the phone was pleasant and no problem. On arrival we were quickly directed to our seats and a waitress was assigned to us and we had drinks within 5 minutes of sitting down. Our order was taken not long after that and we relaxed in an environment that was non threatening and not stuffy. Our mid-day feast was brought out in what seemed like 5 minutes. It was probably more like 10-15 minutes. Definitely no longer than that. All seven of us received our food all at once. Impressive. My Dad is a fussy eater and asked for no sauces with his meal and that is what he got. If anything, the only complaint was there was too many chips in a kids size fish and chips. the coffee made for us after that was also one that deserves a mention. It was decent and hot, with good flavour.
I would recommend this restaurant for family get-togethers. Tables can be moved around to suit larger groups.
Best time for a quiet feed is around mid-day.
Lastly, the cost was very affordable.

I have been to this cafe 3 times in the last two week now! First time I had Fish of the Day. Fish was fantastic, and I'm fussy about fish, must be fresh and not taste too 'fishy!' Then I totally fell in love with the mint chocolate chip ice cream. An explosion of mint, with real chocolate flakes, not just dried up chocolate bits.
Second time round I wasn't that hungry so I just had the Creamed Corn Soup which was a bit bland, no 'wow' factor. Mint choc chip ice cream was still fantastic!
The last time was when my husband and I went on our monthly date. I chose the salmon this time. It was lovely and 'melt in your mouth' soft. Salad and dressing was fresh and pleasant. Too full for dessert unfortunately. Hubby had the #9 steak dish also and was very pleased with the ample portion size and flavour.
I am going there 2 more times this week so I will continue to monitor food and service. (Tough job but someone has to do it!)
All times, service was great. Handsome young polynesian boy was very friendly and helpful.
Totally love this Cafe it's one of my fave I go there at least 3 times a month some times more but everytime it's just great staff so friendly and the food is amazing...love love love this place...the parking is fab and the area for those who want to have a smoke and a drink outside is perfect and their opening and closing hours are suitable oh and how can I forget their steak meal it's to die for and their chicken burger FAB FAB FAB..I tell my mates and family about it all the time I always brag to them about it to the point they asked to be taken there...
A true gem hidden within the realm of South Auckland. Is honestly the best place to eat in, on this side of town, the food is wonderful, the coffee the best I've had so far, the staff are very friendly and professional. Recently had my graduation dinner here, and despite two of the chefs being on holiday, the manager Kinnry and her fantastic team, took on the event, and put up with half my family turning up late :)
Prices are amazingly low. Am there for coffee regularly with friends. If you're over trying to find parking in town, and want a delicious dinner for a reasonable price, within the beautiful setting of Mangere Bridge village, then this is the place for you :)
Great value and good seating, inside or out.
The steak and eggs are good value and nicely cooked. The vege burger is excellent. A little oily perhaps, but tasty and filling.
The chicken curry was average - tasy enough but overcooked and lacking in aromatics.
Service is great. Went one night when things turned a little haywire - missed orders, wrong food to the wrong tables, etc., but they explained they had problems with a chef leaving early. I believe them because every other visit has been exemplary.
Coffee is good, and I like the fact the Maitre de has on several occasions asked us how the coffee is. I love that!
I also really like the desserts, especially the ability to take them home and enjoy an hour or so after dinner.
Criticisms? It can get incredibly noisy inside. Probably becasue they're so popular. So I'll just have to put in earplugs and bear it.
Best place to eat in Mangere Bridge village!
Great staff - very friendly and nice, great food, decent prices, and a selection of Movenpick icecream by the scoop.
The super steak burger actually has a large piece of steak rather then a patty, excellent value at $14.90.
Food was really enjoyable simple and tasty. Service was friendly good prompt in serving. Clean and would visit again.
We popped in yesterday afternoon (01/11/2023) after our daughter's high school graduation, we hadn't been for years because the last time we visited we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of the food, our daughter was the one who wanted to try your restaurant again & we're so happy we did, we loved the food, portions were very good & the food was served hot & it was so tasty! The seafood basket tasted fresh, the aioli is slightly tangy but we love that, pasta was just how each person loved it, the ciabatta buttery & freshly toasted, my CLAT was mouth wateringly good, & our iced chocolates were on!
Our servers weren't as friendly as we remember others having been in the past but other than that, we were so happy!
We will definitely be back again! Thanks for having us!
Haven't tried everything on the menu but what we've ordered so far has been delicious. Staff are friendly. Tables are constantly being tended to and layout is good. One thing I would say is that their restroom tap water has a funky smell that put me off. I'm not too sure why the tap water in there smells.
Come here often for lunch so it must be good! Fast service, friendly staff. Prices for burgers needs to be dropped as they don't look the same in the pictures. Smaller.
If you come as a group it's one bill per table otherwise you get up and pay individually.
Good food, good prices. We had the Eggs Bene and the Chicken burger. Both were delicious. The neighbourhood is nice and there is lots of local atmosphere.
Recommend the CLAT was my favorite.
Food was good, staff friendly and was reasonably priced.
CLAT, Fish & Chips, Hot Dogs Kids Meal.
Highly recommended.
Great place if your looking for burgers and fry’s. The owner is very friendly and our food came quickly.
This is our go to place for dinner when we've just finished work and cant be bothered cooking. Highly recommend.
Excellent Crispy fish and shoestring chippers with a tasty little salad 🥗 Lovely thank you.
Big portions, friendly service and their seafood basket was a favourite.
Food & service are good. My only gripe is that their salad is lettuce, a few strands of grated carrot & dressing. Not a proper salad IMO.
Omg every time I've eaten here, the service has been at the highest level.
Absolutely mouth watering fresh food.
10 /10 😎
Quick service, large variety of meals at reasonable prices to suit families. Great place to go for our last meal in NZ before flying home. Great atmosphere as there was someone playing a saxophone just outside.
FIRST TIME DINNING HERE.The workers here were so bubbly friendly and they are very passionate people made my dinning experience so amazing that they were always checking on us and it made me more at ease with dining here. The 2 workers that were there Friday night.{the female waitress} Good luck on your next journey. {Myguyfrom FIJI} GOOD LUCK ON YOUR NEXT EPIC ADVENTURE., ☺️☺️🎇🎇
Good spot and nice atmosphere! Shame they don't do the huge coffee they used to do before the coffee, part from that it's a great spot.
Small cafe, great vibe/atmosphere. Menu is awesome, heaps of really good looking choices. Order the kumara chips they are next level good. Clean, 5/5 for great service, vibe, hygiene and cleanliness
