Excellent service from friendly staff. Great cafe to take your little one too as they have a lovey toy basket and books. About their food.....delicious pastries, awesome coffee, petits gateaux to die for and melt-in-the-mouth breads. They have yummy meals in their fridge that you can buy to take home too - great if you're having a romantic dinner. You could buy and pretend you're a great cook!

Great place to pass the time away, love the french feel. They do add a surcharge for credit cards. I'm inclined to not support this practice. Bank charges should form part of the companies OPEX

Decided to have a quick bite to eat with a friend. This cafe is quite lovely, the staff are friendly (everyone speaks French) and the desserts look amazing. I ordered a pain aux chocolat, it was light and very yummy. Usually cabinet desserts that I’ve tried are dry but this wasn’t the case. My friend ordered a pizza which I tried as well and it was very nice too, enough cheese and the flavouring was lovely. There isn’t much seating options but this isn’t an issue, I liked the big table in the centre rather than small seperate ones. Would definitely come back and try some of their other desserts! Price range is okay, the usual prices for desserts are cafes!

An absolute experience of a visit, they offer a wide selection ranging from meats to sweets to jam. Everything tastes as good as it looks. A very French-like vibe and the staff can speak in French as well!

Brunch today. Takeaway patisseries other days. Ultimate perfection in French cuisine and pastry. (Yes I've lived in France so i know what it is like at home!).
An ex-pats dream, superb coffees in any fashion, a la francaise or 'Western'- galettes, crepes and superb imported cheeses etc. If you pine for the real thing, most [of it] is here.

While they've reduced the 'extras' over the years by dropping the 'homemade' flavoured terrines and other chilled dishes.

However the Palmier, genuine croissants, Madeleines, Tarte au citron etc. are all superb 10/10 plates.

A Ham Cheese and Mushroom galette with a pastry, Mouse Chocolat (hey its my birthday!) and a couple of Espresso and takeaway pastry was a fine brunch with someone special.
Some locals come here every week. For us its a pleasant once every while bonus and treat.

The staff, in a French establishment, are often, well, French, not terribly local except they live here/ pass thru. Been that way the more than 10 years Ive been popping in. A little French pleasantry can go a long way.
Highly highy recommended. 5+

We like everything about this cafe. The food, coffee, staff, ambience. Every bite is so delicious, whether it's savoury or sweet. Highly recommend the Xmas special booking. Highly popular. We love the place the first time we are there, then try to visit once a week.

Great pastry’s and cabinet food. Smaller setting so better to grab something and go. Lovely staff with great motives including using mugs to reduce waste from cups! Local staff who care and focus on pleasing the mt albert community.

Such a cute place to go for brunch. I would describe it as a deli/cafe with a warm homely feel. The service was exceptionally friendly and it was very busy which is always a good sign. I had a citron tart which had great pastry and a zingy lemon filling....just how it should be. The other cabinet cakes looked just as good. Partner had the baked eggs with salmon which again was really tasty. A great find and will definitely be back to try the other desserts.

Nice cozy place, very hidden location, usually very busy , loads of repeat customers.

Thier pastries are delicious, Raisin Au Plain and raspberry danish. Thier coffee is delicious, if you bring in your own cup you save $0.20 I think.

A bit disappointed with the Mandalens, they are supposed to be light and fluffy from the inside, but it tastes just like a sponge cake.

Always a pleasure coming here to fantastic service, food and drinks.
I do encourage trying out their iced drinks!
Interior is inviting with many seats although it can get busy and crowded.
Speaking French is encouraged.
Hardly many cafe showcase a stunning range of pastries and dessert. It's above average in terms of money but it is certainly worth it.
Its a great experience eating here.
Their Nutella crepes have loads of nutella and was very rich to what I expected. Avoid it for breakfast here unless you love your sweet stuff. The opera slice is a favourite. Macaroons are nothing like you've tasted. They don't leave a syrupy after taste in your mouth. They're light and fluffy!
Highly recommend. One of the better cafe in the area. Very popular among young and old.

Looking for a bite for your sweet tooth but not too heavy on your pocket or your tummy go to this place. Optmimum sized decilious pastries and patisserie works. Tried these two and some assortment of cookies and they were simply mind boggling!
One is a Royal au chocolat and almond tarte. Not good with the french names here but you will surely know from the pics. Heavenly! The royal au chocolat was a chocolate mousse with a biscuit layer on the bottom a crunchy middle layer topped with chocoate mousse and a dark chocolate fondant to top it off. The tart perfectly baked not too sweet just right for had a sour cherry gelatinous topping with almond shavings. Heavenly!
They have a cozy seating indoors and outdoor seating available for a bright day. It just made my day!

Lovely wee cafe and handy if you have kids you can grab a coffee and a pastry then cross over to the rocket park. Delicious pastries, not at all dry. Thought the regular size coffee was more like a small size but yummy coffee and hot Choc. Not very pushchair friendly though. Very narrow and cluttered but ok if you're taking away.

Strong coffee, amazing pastries and melt-in-your mouth macarons. A step above your average bakery...a little pricy, but worth it. Though I found the béchamel sauce on my ham croissant a little meh.

Went here for the first time today. Ordered take away crepes and a drink each. The Lemon sugar crepe was really nice. I had an iced chocolate which was Devine would of been even better with some cream but that's okay. Iced peach tea was nice and so was savoury crepe. Would definitely go again :)

Very friendly staff and delicious food/ coffee. Good to eat in or take across to Rocket park. Their croissants- especially almond are mouthwatering. Even though I can't speak any French, I love how the staff always greet you in French - they are a credit to the café. They have a comfy couch, newspapers and kids toys too.

Cant fault the food and the baguettes are AMAZING. They have such a quick turnaround on the weekend that they are always warm - YUM. Have only eaten in once as its often very busy and not much room, but with Rocket park across the road you can always take out to there on a sunny day. Have a great deli selection and pastries to die for.....

Had a custard fruit pastry, an almond croissant and some other savoury pastry with feta on top. Really enjoyed the pastry, and I like that the sweet items weren't excessively sweet. It was a much needed treat on a rainy work day.

Thanks so much for the baguette lunch roll you prepared us (actually at Pt Chev.). I'm not generally one for French bread and thought I'd just buy a filled roll to keep my daughter happy. I was not prepared for the taste explosion that followed. This is no ordinary French cafe. Thank you for the experience. And we love your staff <3

Super friendly staff. Great for a small bite and coffee. If you have a sweet tooth, should try out their small dessert platter along with a drink. The lemon meringue and hazelnut toffee tarts were good.

Tried Le Benedicte and eggs on croissant for brunch. The food is tasty reminding my friends of their recent trip to France. The staff are very friendly. Also tried the vegetable baguette sandwich as takeaway which was delicious and flavourful.

It was unfortunate to see the cafe closed after the flooding, but they've got the pop up store in the back carpark! Looking forward to the cafe opening again so we can sit and enjoy the delicious pastries!

From interior design perspective, use the natural timber making hanging shelves and the bench deco, it creates the naturally comfortable atmosphere. The Selections of the posters, reflect the culture of this Cafe” little French”. Nice place for catching up, and taste the French style here.

We ordered big breakfast and egg on croissant and they were amazing. We liked that the siroin was included in big breakkie instead of sausages. The croissant was really good too. We also tried macarons and they just melted in our mouth, so good!!

Best croissants ever! I was really appreciative that the staff are so understanding and provide an outdoor booth for those of us who are a bit too nervous to venture indoors at the moment. So happy to see them expand to Mt Albert as the Point Chevalier location was always a must-go for me! 🥐 ✨

Havent been in a year, but the food was fantastic as always and definitely worth a trip to experience the properly reopened cafe. Special shoutout to the amazing steak baguette, delicious fesh bread, perfectly cooked steak and a velvety delicious house made sauce. Cannot recommend enough. Go there. Now.

Pyrenees is a fine French delicatessen. Certainly one of Auckland's more enjoyable family cafes. I hadn't been here for some years and I rated it 100 per cent then. It's even better now. It has crepes, galettes, pastries, bread, superb cheese and remarkable sausages. I smoked salmon in a tiny pot with a soft egg inside. My friend had a ham and tomato galette. Both served with a scrumptious green salad. Look at my photos. Too good!! Make the journey here with your family and friends. They'll be so impressed that they're going to want a return visit planned before you even depart! Believe me. Pyrenees is a special delight. Staff are so welcoming. They deserve to be happy, they're the talent which make Pyrenees a really impressive Zealand cafe.
