The portions were good for their price. The food tasted alright but nothing fantastic. The food presentation is good, there could be improvements on the taste.

Came in for lunch today. Ordered the breakfast seasonal salad bowl and the saffron potato hash with zomato gold. The mushrooms were seasoned so well. Sauce was soaked fully into the s oft mushrooms. Corn was super sweet but the edamame beans weren't salted that well. Loved the slightly sweet and spicy salad sauce placed on top of the shredded lettuce. The potato hash was delicious too. Potato had so many flavours inside it. Loved the outdoor seating.
The food was amazing. We had the Blueberry Pancakes and the salmon eggs Benedict. The pancake came with ice cream, fruit and maple syrup, I also got a side of bacon The pancake was so good, it was very fluffy and had lots of blueberries..The Salmon Benedict was also great! Salmon was fresh, hollandaise was tasty and the bagel was crispy. We will definitely be back!
Eat in / take out. The food and coffee here is amazing. Plenty of tables here most times, thank you Emily for the friendly service and happily adapting menu choices to personal preference.
Love my favourite leek saffron hash eggs Bennie with bacon and mushrooms thingy. Well done you two.
You will devour again after eating in this cafe. Big servings as well. Good place to eat. Love their Eggs Benedict version. Coffee is okay. ☕️
Good pies from the cabinet but the scrambled eggs were dry and overcooked, and I noticed cleaniness in the dining room needs to be improved, a lot of crumbs on the floor.
Two staff on and they did a spectacular job. I'm sure they weren't expecting a group of 12 today but they sure made business on this Sunday. Food was outstanding, loved my homemade burger, i wasn't expecting much but it ended up being delicious. Service is great friendly staff! The food isn't expensive too it was actually a generious price for a cafe in central that was very good. Would recommend to come here.
Hot Chocolate was the first thing that came into mind once I entered the doors. I was hesitant to enter because it was so busy but I gave in because it was just pouring down with rain. Pretty good hot chocolate I might add.
The person who served me was really kind and gracious and I didn't have to wait that long to get my order.
Upon entering the first first thing that comes into mind is the 'upper class cafe', well that's my perception anyways. The decor is quite fancy and at the time I was there it, was quite busy probably because they didn't want to leave due to the rain.
Great cafe to sit down relax, reflect on life, write your novel, have quick meeting, or to have a quick bite.

My partner and I came her after finding a deal on grab one. We were not disappointed, the food was awesome and the service was great! Definitely recommend the shak shuka. Oh and the coffee was awesome too :)
After a loooooong night out on the town I needed something good to replace the alcohol consumed the night before…. I got the eggs Benedict (as usual) with bacon and a flat white trim milk with one sugar.
Bacon was crispy and salty, the eggs were poached beautifully and there was the right amount of hollandaise sauce drizzled on top. I really dislike the eggs being soaked in it cause it can be overpowering and the rest of the flavors are drowned out.
The staff are all real cool and one time we brought our little Chihuahua and you either love or hate her but they were so nice to her and couldn’t get over how cute she was! (irrelevant, I know but good customer service)
Savour & devour one of my favorite places to eat. Have dined at least half a dozen times and each time we enjoy our meals. Polite service and coffees & food comes out quickly. Coffees are good! Favorite on the menu has to be the saffron potato hash with salmon(pictured).the 5 grain bread is really delicious too. I did try something new the last time but didn't really satisfy my taste buds. (Pictured below in the cast iron dish) eggs nene is excellent and pancakes too.
CINAMON ROLLS !!!!!! They are the best in town!!! So worse it, I can drive 20 min to this place Just for the pastries! Staff very friendly and food is excellent, every dishes has something original on it and it so you don't have the impression to eat again and again the same egg benedicts for exemple :)
Visited a couple times for brunch with the family.
Staff are nice and friendly
We ordered the big breakfast, saffron potato hash with bacon, roasted vege halloumi salad, shakshuka and the baked eggs not pictured. Also had long blacks and flat whites which were nice.
The big breakfast and saffron potato eggs were both delicious big portions with the eggs well cooked and the bread served with both dishes was really good. The vege salad was nice just lacking a bit in flavour and could have done with a bit more haloumi. The sauce in the shakshuka had a nice flavour and the eggs were cooked well however there were really big chunks of underdone onion which I left (pictured) which weren't that nice. The baked eggs were okay.
Some items on the menu are great and others with a bit more refinement would be heaps better overall still a nice experience and would go back to try other dishes
I went to this cafe for brunch with my partner and we enjoyed our meals and our coffees. Service was ok but not great and the staff seemed to be waiting for us to leave as soon as possible. Food was good and price was reasonable and I would go again.
Outdoor seating at a back courtyard, indoor seating and roadside as well gives the unqualified amateur diner plenty of options with resting their weary bodies while consuming many of the fine options available at this indie cafe. Had some original dishes on the menu, included baked eggs which I took a punt on. Kid menu great as well and plenty of drink options :-) Location handy in Grey Lynn and service very efficient!
Great brunch here on Waitangi Day. No surcharge. Not busy. Sensational Shak Shakur and good coffee. The daughter enjoyed poached eggs (perfectly cooked) with a side of bacon. Lovely.
We had breakfast here on Sunday after the GLF market, and both of us really enjoyed our food, the Saffron Potato Hash (with bacon) and the Shak shuka (Traditional North African breakfast) for something a little different. My poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the flavour of the leeks gave it a nice point of difference, the lovely fresh artisan bread with real butter was delicious on the side, and Husband was well happy with his too, which was spicy and warming. The service was extremely polite and very friendly, meals came quickly and the coffee was good. We would definitely return.
Went on the weekend with a voucher. The waitresses were excellent and contrary to other reviews I think they communicated very well and spoke very good English even if they had an accent!!. We ordered the big breakfast and pizza which was fantastic with lovely fresh ingredients. We booked an hour before on a busy weekend and the voucher deal was outstanding. We received our coffees on the way back from ordering at the counter and we will definitely go back and pay full price for our next meal. The meals were excellent and tasty. Love the fresh spinach and mushrooms. Would recommend to anyone. If I have anything to suggest it would be to plant out the view of the car park. The food at the counter also looked home made and delicious.
A relaxed retro feel to this cafe, particularly the seating area out the back where we sat and listened to heavy rain falling on the tin roof. Lovely area to sit with kids - toys provided.
All the usual breakfast dishes are done very competently with free range eggs etc and coffee was good but the absolute standout for us were the brioche buns hot from the oven! So delicious we took more home for afternoon tea, but they didn't survive even 5 mins once we got in the door. The cabinet was full of delicious looking homemade pies and cakes which we intend to try next time.
Just walking into this place makes me want to hang out there for the entire day... I only ate the museli (which was incredible)... but the porridge, cooked rice, eggs and the entire lunch menu looks amazing. Great coffee too. I want to go here more often :P
Delicious! Beautiful food and friendly service, I went there to practise my French and both the lovely lady that served us and the chef were super welcoming and spoke French to me. Pastry's were to die for and coffee good. Would return.
Happened to pass by this place and popped in for afternoon coffee just before the cafe closes at 4pm. Tried the mango tart that was amazing. It is absolutely delicious!
Awesome place amd super friendly staff. We had the breakfast and is was delicious.
The team made such a beautiful macaron tower! Cannot be any happier with it! Highly recommended!
Very friendly and quiet location. Good coffee.
Best smoothie iced coffee anywhere!
