We were going to another cafe for breakfast but have to take cover from the torrential rain. So we stumbled upon Lieutenant.
Probably the most interesting and beautiful omelette I ever had and it did taste good with all the interesting vegetables bits. I had it with the Bacon Soldiers (Just a cute name because the cafe is called Lieutenant I guess?) My partner loved his burger and fries. He loves his coffee so much and ordered a second cup which he seldom do. But the coffee didn’t quite hit the spot for me.
The young staff could be a bit friendlier and more attentive although they were running off their feet and looked really stressed.
Good flat whites & Matcha latte.
Always looks to be busy hence tried the place out. The hot drinks were delicious.
The atmosphere is nice with an open area and a great spot to people watch whilst drinking. Plenty of seats.
Service was friendly and everything was well explained.
I will be happily back here!
I had a seasonal salad and a flat white, and they were absolutely delicious. I'm curious about the dressing they used for the salad. It's so good that I can't stop thinking about it. The date, walnut, and maple scone is the best scone I've ever tasted.
Got the benedict brigade and a side of pork belly (per the pics). prie was reasonable for the portion, and the taste was good. Leaving a 4* as would likely return.
First of all, I'd like to apologize to the manager that spoke to me and helped me out after the fire alarm today.
I had a small back and forth about wanting to stay just to finish off my food. But I was completely wrong in that, and made her difficult task of getting everyone out that bit harder.
She was extremely helpful in placing my food in a takeaway box and was professional throughout.
The food was absolutely excellent, one of the best omelette plates I've had.
A* coffee as well.
I'll be back if and when in Auckland again.

This cafe is located within the mall, but don’t let that fool you. The coffee was solid and the food was AMAZING! Highly recommend getting their “first watch” and “free ranger” dishes.
The coffee and food here is yummy. The sandwich on Turkish bread are very tasty toasted, and the ginger crush and savoury scone with lots of butter. The staff are always friendly and nice, A ++ service food, highly recommend to all. Best cafe in commercial bay.
Sumptuous flavours and ingredients combined beautifully. The usual cafe fare elevated with the finesse of either a passionate chef or a great bunch of designed recipes. The eggs bene and bacon on jalapeño cornbread is a must.
I ordered avocado toast with halloumi and iced coffee. Avocado, cherry tomatoes and veges were fresh. I did not like antichoke as it was too sour for me. I really liked iced coffee! I will visit this place and try the other menus.
We discovered this lovely cafe to refuel ourselves after the LAB concert the night before & while waiting for the Waiheke Ferry. The cafe is styled in a modern & contemporary way, the cabinet food was just right for our needs & the large flat white came out good. The staff a very polite & accommodating. A fellow diner had gluten issues & they were so helpful with offering alternative options without making it a hassle for him. Really peaceful & pleasant vibe.
Really great eggs Bene’. Beautifully plated. Quite surprised as just thought it was a cabinet food place or grab a coffee at first but they offered table service and was well worth the stop.
Very impressed with the service and food at Lieutenant. I came on a busy Saturday and luckily got a table without any issues. Service was attentive, coffee was perfect and the food was delicious.
The breakfast burger had slabs of pork belly, crackling and pork floss. Paired with a fried egg on a toast milk bun, this was a heavenly brunch!
We have been here a number of times and it's always been great.
Had brunch here today and it was amazing. Coffee was great and the food was delicious. The service was superb - staff were friendly, attentive and very helpful.
Stopped by here for breakfast and the omelette was delicious. Good place if you’re in the area
Cute place to seat and have a cup of coffee watching people walk by
The most outstanding omelette I have ever had the privilege to eat. Their flat white coffee is excellent and very flavorsome.
This cafe always grabs a lot of traffic since people walk pass it as they enter the mall. Finally checked it out and as expected - it’s 7/10. Coffee was not bad but Anzac cookie was a disappointment. Looked amazing but it was soggyyy as (potentially an old cookie). Matcha latte was nice if you like sweet drinks.
