Fact-Tree is one of our favorite cafes. They make good coffee and frappe. The cafe is usually busy on weekends so make sure to book your table for bigger crowds. The food serving is large and price is reasonable. I either order Bacon Eggs Benedict or Horseradish Creamy Mushroom...oh so YUMMY! I also love their seafood chowder! We just keep coming back... cheers!

We went after looking at zomato reviews, it's a nice little cafe in a middle of sunnynook. Can get very busy, it took us 15 mins to find a place. They were very nice to call us when it was available. We had chicken burger , prawns and scallops and kids waffles with ginger latte and plum tea. Everything was good , just didnt liked the flavor of chicken burger, otherwise nice place for a good hearty meal.

I had the Thai Salad and I Loved it so muchhh! I normally don't like eating salad a lot as there's not much flavour in it and it's not cooked AND im asian lol BUT I loved it so much as the sauce was really goodddd will give it a 9/10. However the coffee was average as it was a bit burnt. (5/10)

Came here for the first time with my mum on a Tuesday afternoon, it wasn't too crowded then. The waitresses were very friendly. We ordered mocha, blueberry pancakes, sweet potato wedges and iced chocolate. Mum really liked the hot mocha. The iced chocolate was very thick and rich, it was amazing. The wedges were very crispy, and tasted amazing with the sweet chilli, sour cream, cheese and bacon. The pancake was very uniquely presented and was very delicious too. Overall this place is great!

Consistently great coffee each time. Local for me so very grateful. I have got many takeaway coffees each time Ive gone past and each one has been perfect. Recently got a fluffy for my son as well and was impressed with the fluffy takeaway and hpw much care and effort they put into it. For some reason I never seem to have enough time to try their food, but have sat down once or twice to try their cabinet food and was impressed. Will try to come back for an actual cooked meal which my friends tell me is amazing.

Open chicken sandwich @facttree_cafe This hidden gem in North Shore is a busy place for brunch/coffee. Sandwich was served with open toast bread, hummus, haloumi , pineapple and prepped grilled chicken #food #fashion #travel #foodfashiontravel #twinklingtaurus Fruit salad could have been better.

Hi

the staff are generally warm and friendly. though this wasnt a major, i was disappointed by the fact that i came here for my birthday brunch and mentioned this in the booking, yet no acknowledgement was made of this fact. the decor is cute, adding to fact-trees rep for being a highly photogenic cafe. i return here again and again not only for food that is often both delicious for the eyes and the tastebuds but also for the great value.

the waffles looked and tasted incredible, decorated with candy floss and edible flowers, these were also pretty cheap in comparison to many waffles found in auckland. the scrambled eggs on toast were okay, however, they lacked flavour and i wouldnt order this again. despite being noticably less attractive, the kids pasta was tasty and an extremely generous portion for only $10. the eggs benedict is the best ive tasted so far, the portion size is huge and the potato rostis that the eggs rest on are crispy, flavourful and elevate the dish immensely. all of the drinks from fact-tree are instaworthy, with iced drinks served in mason jars and a mountain of whipped cream and teas served in adorable, mint green tea pots.

Ordered the eggs bene on potato Rosti and iced white chocolate via ubereats. Both items were very well prepared and taste amazing. The hollandaise sauce is not overpowering and very tasty. The eggs were perfectly poached with runny yolk. The iced white choclate taste like a milky bar :D! Best iced white chocolate I’ve ever had , unlike some that just taste like milk. Thank you for making amazing food :D

We had avo smash on potato rosti which was spiral potatoes. This was a beautiful plate of food although we thought the serving size could have been larger. The egg on both plates unfortunately was cold and this was a shame.. We will definitely return and try some other lunch time dishes as they looked nice. The service was friendly.

Please try the iced white chocolate!!! It literally tasted like a melted block of white chocolate, I could’ve bought another one!😅🤤

The old Lincoln pork burger was amazing too! Overflowing with amazing pulled pork and a nice palette cleanser with the apple slaw. They put tomato and sprouts on the side which I loved because I could see how some people wouldn’t like that in the burger, but for me it elevated it even more since pulled pork can get sickly after a while. The brioche bun really tied it all together and balanced out the heavy ness of the meat with the light and fluffy ness of the bun. The fries were a bit bland but nothing a bit of salt cant do.

The service was also great, very friendly, nothing to complain about there. Such a tucked away calm location and an awesome park nearby to work off the meal 😄😄👍

We love what they offer here in Fact-Tree hence we go back again and again just to try what we haven’t ordered before or see what they are offering new, I posted a review of this before but today it’s for a different dish. The perfect time to go here is for brunch first because there will be lesser people compared to lunch and breakfast plus their breakfast is huge in size so having one meal in between in perfect.

I go here most days for coffee. Coffee was excellent but they have recently changed baristas and I think the new one is not as good.
The food is always very good. I usually have the salmon and cream cheese bagel which is very good. Only quality ingredients are used here.

It’s not often you find a cafe that you would rate 5 stars on each visit! Food is always amazing, such good quality and really good value. On this visit we chose the Big Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. Both meals were delicious. The staff are very lovely too! The only negative would be the plastic straws.

Definitely a hidden gem 💎

A cute little cafe in a quiet town, the lady who served me, (I think she might have been the owner) was lovely. She was also very welcoming and friendly to all the customers that arrived after me as well, making sure everyone was comfortable. Food was delicious. I've had pancakes at other places and they have always been overly sweet, but these pancakes were perfect with just the right amount of sweetness. Avo smash on toast with halloumi was yummy too! Overall, I love this place and I reccomend everyone to try it at least once, I'll be back for sure :)

We ordered the New York bagel and the French toast
The French toast was delicious! Would definitely recommend for someone who likes their sweet and salty flavours
The bagel was the hardest thing to try to cut! It was delicious non the less but might was to stay away from it if for those who dont have the upper arm strength

I came to Fact-Tree with a friend for the first time, having heard of its quality food from other friends and family and seeing that it was on Zomato Gold. I must say, this place lived up to its expectations. I ordered the pulled pork burger, and all the flavours worked really well together, and it was a satisfying food portion.

The café is pretty loud, however, that just shows the sign of how popular and busy it is. I would recommend this place to many.

I came here with my mother and partner to have a nice afternoon brunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite pleasant and spacious. The staff are quite friendly as well and promptly sat us down at a table. Mum ordered the Eggs Benedict and me and my partner ordered the Scotch Steak Sandwich. We also ordered the caramel frappe which was perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness. 

The food came to our table in about 20 minutes, which is acceptable and well worth the wait. They are quite generous with their portion sizes and the steak was cooked beautifully. 

We really enjoyed our visit here and if you happen to be in Sunnynook, then definitely give this place a shot! Thank you for the amazing service and food.

Went for brunch with Zomato Gold. Prawn and scallop had very good flavours. Smashed avocado was tasty but on the small side. Note for Zomato Gold users, if you add on to meals eg smoked salmon this isn't factored into the price of the cheaper meal so you end up paying full price for that which was a little disappointing not to be told before ordering

All time favourite place ! Love the warm and earthy vibe this place has 😍 food came out really late however it was delicious. Have to be really honest that there may have been some change with the dishes as thai beef salad used to have crispy noodles but it came with ‘noodle-like’ crispy toppings so 4 stars instead of 5. Overall it was a great experience :)

We went on a Saturday so it was very busy and I would recommend booking a table in advance unless you are willing to wait.

Absolutely fantastic. Worth every dollar. We visited with Zomato Gold, they have a great process for Zomato Gold users. Thought the service was really good and efficient. Place was busy but staff were very accommodating for anyone waiting. Food was fantastic, catered to my dietary needs and when I double checked the bread, there was no attitude, but just genuine concern. And the spicy chai (with coconut milk) was the best I've ever had. Highly recommended!

Have been to fact-tree a couple times and I think its a pretty good cafe considering there isn't many in the area and I can easily see it being a popular cafe in Takapuna or central. I've ordered the chicken salad before which was good and this time I came I got the avo smash with bacon but ordered it without egg. The wait was a little long but they were fairly busy so all good. However when the avo smash was on the counter I could see an egg on it and I saw the waitress say something to the chef and noticed he took the egg off, which in my opinion isn't right as I could have had an egg allergy. Definitely recommend if you are in the area :)

Nice cafeteria in the suburb of Sunnynook. The place was extremely busy the day we went but it didn’t take too long for the food to be served. Also has a lively vibe.

The food are greatly portioned as they add lots of salad to the plates. The steak was tender and juicy. The prawn and squid were nice and crispy. I loved the freshly fried kumara and potato slices, however would be nice if they drained out all the chips oil before adding onto the salads.

Flat white was good. And loved the ice mocha frappes!

This was a nice experience. The atmosphere was well accompanied by the amazing food. A friend and I shared the blueberry pancake and smoked salmon bagel.

The bagel was fantastic, however the pancake did not follow those footsteps. The pancake was nice, fluffy and very appealing but it was way to much to handle. This thing was loaded with sugar which made every bite a challenge.

Overall the experience was great and I’ll definitely be back sometime.

This place is so good. The food is all beautifully presented, and all just a little bit 'extra', especially considering how reasonably priced. We got the New York bagel, the eggs benedict and the kids waffles. They were all beautiful. The eggs were perfect, the waffles were very impressive. The bounty hot chocolate was really good.
Great service too. Got the balance between friendly and intrusive just right.

I used to live a two minute walk from this cafe and what an absolute gem to have had on my doorstep! Deeply miss not living local to this cafe anymore as the luscious coffee blend is so smooth, flavoursome & always unvarying. All the duty baristas take real care in producing their coffee and ensure it's the consistent perfect temperature every time. The front of house staff are observant, courteous and very commendable. Lastly the kitchen team & food is final piece that completes this wonderful cafe. The kitchen's portions are very generous and the quality, wait time and presentation of the meals are first class. Fact-Tree is an admirable and worthy cafe and I highly recommend it.

3.5 stars overall.

Food: 3.5.
Really good variety of options! I ordered the vegetarian brekkie. Thoroughly enjoyed the hash, it was fried deliciousness of grated potato 😍.
However, the rest was a little underwhelming, as it was a salad was just thrown on top of some bread and eggs. Was just missing that little oomph factor, otherwise tasted satisfactory.
My friend ordered the eggs Benedict which she rated highly and thoroughly enjoyed.
The latte was wonderful!

The first two times I came here I ordered the Eggs Benedict and both times were a miss. The first time I went there the hollandaise sauce had too much lemon, but the potato rosti and bacon were cooked perfectly.

The second time I ordered the Eggs Benedict the hollandaise had less lemon, but it was quite heavy and buttery (as in it tasted of butter). The bacon and the rosti were underwhelming and not cooked as well.

After my first two visits I felt like fact tree deserved a 3/5 for their food.

The third time I went we ordered their Brioche French Toast, Old Lincoln Pork Burger and their Chef Special Pasta which was Carbonara.

This time was a real game changer for me. The French Toast was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully.

The Carbonara was perfectly balanced and the mushrooms were cooked to perfection (I’m a huge mushroom fan so this was such a win for me).

THE LINCOLN PORK BURGER WAS BY FAR THE BIGGEST WINNER. Melt in your mouth pork sandwiched between two fluffy brioche pillows and a crisp refreshing apple slaw. An absolute banger of a dish that I will be back to order time and time again.

The fourth time we went we ordered their Old Lincoln Pork Burger (ONCE AGAIN YUM, YUM AND YUM) and the Scotch Steak sandwich.

I only tried the mushrooms from the steak sandwich, but from the speed my boyfriend ate it I can confirm it was another winner.

I can also confirm that regardless of what drink you order from Fact Tree, you won’t be let down. My current favourite is their Iced Honey Plum Tea, but I can also vouch for their Banana Milkshake, Banoffee Smoothie and Banana, Avocado And Peanut Butter milkshake.


The staff are extremely friendly, the service is quick and the environment is perfect for brunching and lunching. The Zomato Gold process is also very easy at Fact Tree.

After my third and fourth visits and taking into account the constant level of excellent service provided I would ideally like to give Fact-Tree a 4.5/5.

Perfect family friendly cafe. Love the location of this little cafe, no stress on finding a parking. A nice bonus of a playground nearby for the little ones to play after visit. Decent cafe food for everyone, lots to choose, great portion size. Coffee always great and their smoothie is a must try. One of our fav on the shore!

Cute little local cafe in the suburbs, gets very busy on the weekend. Service is efficient and quick. I had the shrimp and scallop basil pesto dish off the lunch menu and it was so filling and delicious! 3 or 4 scallops and very generous with the prawns. Also got a blueberry and coconut smoothie but wasn't a big fan, definitely too sweet and didn't enjoy the flavours even though I normally go for them

We went in with a booking for a party of 10 and although the number reduced to 6, the staff were very accommodating and patient.

I ordered a Pina Colada Smoothie and Sweet Quinoa Corn Fritter w/ Crispy Bacon. The smoothie was delicious and tasted exactly like the cocktail but extra creamy.

The corn fritter was outstanding, with the fritters themselves being different from standard fritters at other cafes. The halloumi did a good job of balancing the saltiness and oil from the bacon. All in all, the flavour combination was perfect and I would not hesitate to order this dish again.

All the meals came with extremely generous portions, thus resulting in some of our party taking it away to finish at home. We had an entertainment book voucher where we were able to get 25% off the whole table which was a great deal.

Would love to come back and try more items that they have to offer.

I ordered the pork burger and was very impressed, the pork was juicy, the buns were toasted yet not burn, fries were crunchy and not too oily, and the apple coleslaw was much better than the usual coleslaw served with pork. Definitely worth coming back for the food (cabinet food also looked amazing, the customer service and atmosphere was also good - the cafe is in a residential area so is popular with the locals) but the coffee was slightly bitter and diluted, hence not a 5 star review.

Located in a local commercial block in Sunnynook, Fact-Tree Cafe refuses to be another shop that no one visits - a great cafe can be in the neighbourhood after all.
Mid-century decor, gorgeous coffee, and breakfast that exceeds the expectations is all it takes to attract the early birds into Sunnynook.
To take it to 4.5 it just needs some more bread varieties (sourdough, ciabatta, Turkish bread), remove the water jar that puts rust in your glass (the bottles are beautiful why bother with the jar), and maybe some pleasing tunes.
I would visit this cafe again regardless of the minor travel.

After about 5 visits: best scrambled eggs in town.

I had the steak sandwich. Steak was cooked to perfection. It came with 2 ciabatta toasts (YAASS) some portobello mushrooms and salad, the bread was soaked in the mushroom sauce and it made me feel like I went to heaven with every bite. The fish also came with the crunchiest chips and a shot of Aoli.

my friend had the hotcakes. She said it was so flavorful and massive but one of the best hotcakes she's ever had.

Arrived around peak lunch time (12.30pm-ish) and the wee little cafe was PACKED, so were given menus while waiting for a table.

Food: Unfortunately our first option of the Eggs Benedicts were sold out, so opted for the 'Fact-tree Breakfast' (5/5). Well presented with a generous portion size and yum! Their 'Yoghurt Berry Smoothie' was a perfect balance of tartness, creaminess and sweetness (5/5) :)

Service: Great customer service by all staff

Ambience: Loved it. From the modern decor on the walls to pots of plants on shelves and hanging from ceiling. Made the cafe feel very clean and alive.

Price: Very very reasonable!!

Will most definitely be back then try the eggs benny on their infamous HASH CAKES! Nomnom

I order one latte and bacon Benedict. The coffee is one of the best I had - fresh, right forth, milk and temperature. The meal is just average. The base (like homemade hash or rosti) taste average.

This small cafe on tonikin road is very busy crowded with local residents. I think it's especially busy as tonikin road is a short cut way for sunnynook residents to travel between home and further north areas such as Albany. Also it's right next to kindergarten and primary school so it seems like a meeting and waiting for kids spot for mothers.

I have tried their cabinet foods which are all nice and tried this big breakfast today. I was a little disappointed that it did not have hash brown but it was good overall. Sausage, mushrooms and spinach were the best on this dish. Coffee tastes good too. I love their black coffee. It's not too sour nor bitter.

We ordered the Bacon omelette and salmon eggs bene, both food came beautifully. The hash brown tastes like home made, which brings the whole plate to the next level!! The size of the bacon omelette is big and again very tasty. The interior of the place is nice, i would recommend to sit outdoor if it's a nice day, the inside gets very busy around lunch time and the smell of food from the kitchen can get a bit strong.

It's quite busy on a Sunday morning, most tables were filled, however the staff were very efficient. We both ordered the Fact-Tree Breakfast, me being me thought that I could finish it all. Didn't exactly happen though. The portions were quite decent, and I especially enjoyed the hashbrown. However the "creamy spinach" could use a bit more flavouring, it tasted like it was just spinach tossed in cream and no spices were bothered to add. But with all the hype around this cafe, the iced chocolate definitely did not disappoint!(Too bad I couldn't get a photo before he devoured it all)

I’ve enjoyed my two visits to this local Sunnynook café. It can get quite busy on Saturday mornings for brunch, but it’s worth going for the friendly service and their reasonably-priced range of food and drink.

On my last visit, I had the avocado smash on sourdough with a side of bacon. This was nice, but the only thing that was truly special about this was the use of macadamia nuts in the avocado.

My flat white was also pretty good; it was beautifully presented and foamy. Next time, I’d like to try one of their milk shakes.

If we didn't have to wait 45min for our breakfast it would have been a solid 4-4.5

I think being parents timing is everything.

We waited 10-15min for our coffee which was delish- the milk steamed perfectly resulting in a creamy hot cup of wake-me-up.

We got master 11months a side of scrambled egg which was huge and a side of sausage which was so darn tasty (it was pork and fennel, it had a great texture which leads me to believe they either make it in house or know an awesome butcher)

Eggs bennie with bacon spinach on a potato rosti was right up there in flavour- the rosti was made fresh and were crunchy- not gluey at all- the eggs were a tad over cooked but still a tasty plate of food.

The slices in the counter looked yum and massive for the price- if it wasn't on the other side of Auckland to where we live we would go back...

Went here the other day with my friend for lunch and boy was it good! The cafe itself is a cute little place off the main road so you have to look for it!

We walked in and were greeted by a friendly waitress who organized menus and water for us. I ordered an orange juice and my friend their lemon tea! To eat we both got the BLAT.

The food was delicious though a little hard to eat due to the size of it! Fresh ingredients though which is always a plus.

We had a couple of hick ups but the experience was still very good!

I will definitely be back if I am in the neighborhood! To get a 5/5 the service needs to be slightly faster and food delivered to the right table.

This place is great, lots of options to choose from depending on what you feel like on the day. Sometimes when you go to place with lots of options some can't taste as nice but I've been here heaps of time and ordered many items from the menu and it all is nice. Not a small place, so not many options to sit so you'll be lucky to get a seat. Service is fine but you mainly go for the food. Love the iced chocolate. Comes with a cute fun fact on the cup which adds a cute signature touch due to the place obviously being 'fact tree'. Would recommended to anyone who wants a decently priced breakfast meal in a local North Shore area.

Probably one of my favourite cafes in the North Shore, quite hard to find, but such a gem! The smoothies here are amazing and totally worth the money.  For a really small place, the decor is still nice and cozy. The food and service is also great, everything was really tasty and presented nicely. The portion sizes are perfect, and everything is worth every cent!

Having recently moved offices to Rosedale, I've been systematically working my way through the local(ish) lunch options. Fact-Tree almost didn't make the list because it's a little bit out of my way, but it did not disappoint.

I had the Fact-Tree breakfast (not exactly a foodie choice but I was feeling a bit nostalgic). The staff were great, pointing out the components with dairy and suggesting alternatives. This dish definitely hit the spot, good quality ingredients makes a huge difference for a big breakfast style dish and Fact-Tree was on point.

The supreme coffee was pretty good too.

Overall 4/5

Dined here with my partner for brunch. It was a typical winters day in Auckland, cold and rainy. The decor in this place is nice, however it is very cold on a winters day with no heating and the door wide open. The staff however were very accommodating and closed the door when another diner requested it. I had an iced mocha which was huge & very enjoyable. I also love the way they present their frapes in jars with a little fact attached. My partner had a flat white which he also enjoyed. For food I had the wedges with bacon and sour cream & my partner had the fact tree breakfast. The wait time was reasonable for food & the portions again were huge I couldn't even eat half my dish. The wedges themselves were good but the bacon was a little burnt which kind of spoilt the dish a little for me. The presentation was super cute & overall I left full & satisfied with my meal. My partner also enjoyed his breakfast, so much so I couldn't even get a photo before he tucked in.

A little cafe gem in Sunnynook. If it weren't for the Entertainment Book, I would not have noticed there is a cafe within a residential houses. Their shakes and smoothies ($8) are the bomb! Worth every sip of it. The breakfast presented nicely and taste good too, we ordered eggs benedict with crispy bacon ($17), and their big breakfast ($18). Food came fast, service was super friendly and price is the usual cafe price that you would expect to pay, not overpriced.

This place is an absolute gem. Visited for a Mother's Day brunch, it was packed with tables quickly being reseated, but the service and quality of the food did not drop at all. Coffees were artistically presented and perfectly made. I had the Fact-Tree breakfast, which was great value. Everything worked well together and for the price many competitors would include 'store bought' items, not here though. The rest of our meals were above par too, and saw plenty of other meals I'd like to try as well, will definitely be back soon!

I didn't order any food apart from coffee and cake
But from lurking over at the tables the food did look delicious and I'll come back to try some! (The wedges looked very hearty I regret being too full to order some)
I loved the chill ambience and the cute interior -esp their little fact notes which is where their name comes from.
Their coffee was really good but the carrot cake seemed very stale and old :'(
I'd recommend ordering food from the menu and not from their cabinet!
Friendly service :)

Came back for proper food!
Ordered their famous eggs bene and my bf got their big breakfast
Nice presentation and hearty portions
Will definitely come back!

It's glad to have this lovely cafe in Sunnynook.
Nice presentation, fresh food, new idea and nice drink. We tried avocado mash on sourdough, it comes with macadamia nut, lemon juice, olive oil and poached egg. Nice choice for light food. Caesar salad is not the same as other place, there's chili on it and make it more flavor. Drink is good, I like iced chocolate frapes.

■ Good presentation
■ Friendly staff
■ Creative interior
■ Great Food

■ Short on seats when busy
■ Portions average

Im pretty sure this is where my love for brunches and cafe hopping began!! Such an adorable little parlour and the menu's are really nicely done with a DIY touch to give a homely and warm feel. We usually get the eggs benedict coz the guys here do it so well!! The food's presented beautifully with portions being reasonably sized. One thing Fact-Tree's popular for are their iced Frappe range. When we arrived, there was a bit of a wait since it was a busy sunday but probably coz their brunch menu is pretty popular! Nice way to spend a morning or afternoon catching up with friends!

What a pleasant suprise!

We ordered the iced coffee, cream cheese bagel and bacon eggs benedict.

Everything was delicious! I can't really fault either of our meals to be honest. I wish I had got the eggs benedict though, those hash cakes were amazing.

The iced coffee was slightly bitter but that was a plus for me, it was so good and felt like a real coffee.

This cafe is located in a strange place, so makes it hard to decide whether I would come back, but probably will for that potato hehe.

Fact-Tree Cafe is a small, high end & boutique cafe located in suburban Sunnynook. The cafe is set with a minimalist, modern interior and has a fresh ambiance. The food follows suit.

Service: 8/10
- Our visits to Fact-Tree have typically been enjoyed with fast, efficient & attentive service. Only once has an order been incorrectly placed, though this could have been a communication issue on our part.

Food: 10/10
- Food is in our opinion the best available in its price bracket Auckland wide. Fresh, innovative and consistently of high quality and presentation. Would recommend either Pancakes or a Benedict.

Coffee: 6/10
- Coffee served is Eightthirty. Extremely bitter/sour. Made up by a clearly experienced team of baristas, as other drinks (iced coffee etc) are made to a high standard. Would recommend changing coffee brand.

Final comment: 8/10
- Considering factors such as price range and value, Fact-Tree is the best Cafe available in Auckland in our opinion; we frequently make the trip from South to the North Shore for it.

Food: Food was very lovely, I had the open chicken sandwich and they had nice refreshing drinks. My group (5 people) that went together all really enjoyed their food and drinks. Have also had the cabinet food before and that didnt disappoint either. 

Price: Price of food and drinks are reasonable.Worth your money :)

Service: Service was bland. Waiters would just get your order and give you your food. You have to get your own water at the front of the cafe. Cafe gets really busy so head in early or don't go at all, waiters aren't much help as they have no waiting list and they don't take bookings. 

Atmosphere: Cafe is located in a suburb area where there aren't any other cafes and shops around, every time i have been it is has been very busy cafe so as said before go early or don't go at all.  The place is quite small and seating is difficult. There were 5 of us crowded around a small table and waiters were not much help in seating us and had to sort out the seating ourselves. Waiters were not very fluent in English and just sort of stood there and watched which was very frustrating.

Overall: Great food at a reasonable price highly recommend for food. A shame that service was not very good and majority of the tables at the cafe were very small (there as one bag table but it was shared between smaller groups) Very bad seating arrangements. Ive said it before and ill say it again, go there early or don't go at all.

Such a great little place! Super close to my house but had no idea it was there until recently. Me and my boyfriend went around 11ish in the morning, wasn't too busy seeing as it was a week day so we were sat right away. The menu is very extensive and has a wide range of options, we chose the vegetarian bagel stack, the blueberry pancakes and a fruit platter to share. We also got a ice mocha and a flat white which came out nearly straight away, the ice mocha was amazing probably one of the best I've ever had. Food didn't take long at all, and the portion sizes were quite large especially for the price, everything tasted really good only downside was that my bagel was a bit hard to cut. Our three meals and two drinks all together costed $55 which is what you would usually pay for 2 meals, which is a massive plus. Staff were friendly and service was good, overall would definitely recommend to friends and will be coming back again myself to try more of the menu!

Hands down one of my favourite cafes on the shore. I've been lucky enough to have been seated immediately every time I dine here despite how busy they get. The serving size are well worth the prices on their menu. My favourite would have to be their eggs Benedict. No one does hashbrown stacks quite like Fact-Tree.

Very good service, nice little set up, food presentation is beautiful, good selection of slices, rolls etc. In the cabinet if you don't order from the menu. I tried the eggs bene with crispy bacon rashers on hash cakes and it was fantastic (the hash cake was a little over done) but it wouldn't stop me going. Parking maybe an issue depending on surrounding shops but I would definitely recommended to others.

My favourite little cafe for breakfast or brunch!!

I must admit I'm not so much a fan of the eggs benedict served on hasbrowns (i like my eggs benny with toast or english muffins) as I find the hollandaise a little too sweet/lemony for my liking. I also didnt like the blueberry pancakes - too thick for my liking it was honestly like eating a large cake. 

However - the milkshakes are absolutely amazing my favourite milkshakes ever! I now always order the chocolate milkshake and eggs on toast with avocado and bacon... yum yum!!!

Their iced chocolates are a must. Literally the best iced chocolates ever. I've been here so many times and the food never disappoints! I had the French toast first time I came which was soooo good.

The banana date and almond smoothie is also so good!!! Cannot stress that enough

The smashed avocado is also AMAZING!!! Has chunks of macadamia nuts throughout the avo which is such a nice touch and compliments the avocado so well!! I always return to fact-tree. I know no matter what I order it'll be delicious!

Very good cafe, highly standard service quality and amazing food presentation. The patterns of our coffee were very pretty, it obviously indicated the barista passion. However, the taste of our coffee did not meet my expectation as I know what EIGHTIRTY beans taste like. Suggest to adjust the grinder regularly and avoid reheat the milk from the last order that will fully present the taste of EIGHTIRTY.

Quite a busy cafe - best to book a table to enjoy your meal and coffee.

They did our coffee well. It was just the right temp.

The servings were just right - I had the Fact-Tree breakfast, the wife had the Corn Fritters, our daughter had the Blueberry pancakes and our son had the Kids' Pasta.

The Fact-Tree breakfast was packed with flavour and generous amounts of meat - true value for money.

The Corn Fritters were beautifully done. They weren't stodgy or dry. Again, packed with flavour.

The big surprise for us was the Blueberry pancakes - it was a huge serving. Great combination of sweet and savoury!

The Kids' Pasta was very rich which our little boy enjoyed.

The dishes were presented well and not just 'plopped' onto a plate.

I could say it's the North Shore's best kept secret, tucked away in Sunnynook.

Kudos to the Fact-Tree team!

Fact-Tree is one of my favourite cafes to eat at in the North Shore! Considering that I have driven all the way from West Auckland for this cafe on numerous occasions... It is so worth the drive down!

We came here for a friend's birthday brunch! I have been here multiple times before though and I know how amazing the iced drinks and the smoothies are! I feel like Fact-Tree was the first cafe I ever went to that incorporated jars into their menu??!? It was because of this that made me go through a "putting-all-my-smoothies-into-a-jar" phase at home!!! I also love the cute interior! Their menu is written on large scrolls that hang from one wall. They also have cute little facts attached to most things inside the cafe! Cold drinks all come with a fact tied around the rim of the jars, and most of these are pretty interesting facts as well! I love the entire concept behind this cafe so much.

This time I ordered the Thai beef salad. It came with crispy noodles on top and my beef was cooked perfectly to what I wanted! It wasn't too chewy and the sauce (I can't remember which sauce it was) made the entire dish taste so good! I also ordered an iced mocha because you can't not order a cold drink when you come here!

The birthday girl ordered the open steak sandwich and Jessica ordered pancakes which came with seasonal fruit! One of our orders got mixed up and Cathy ended up waiting for her eggs benedict for so long, that the rest of us started eating before our food got cold! After informing the staff, they sorted it out and were very apologetic! The manager even came out to apologize. At the end when we paid, he gave us a card (all stamped) for a free drink next time we popped by and apologized again! It was unfortunate that this happened, but we appreciated how apologetic they were and how much they tried to make up for it.

Regardless of this little incident, I'm still willing to drive across town for this cafe! Can't wait to be back for a iced mocha and some food! :)

Fact tree has always been a treat to dine at! The drinks are always amazing and the whole place is so cute! I remember the first time ever going there and thinking the jar glasses were just the coolest things! I used to LOVE the eggs Benedict here until they changed the bread out for hashbrowns. Sadly I have not returned since but am planning on giving it another go sometime soon. It gets quite crowded and sometimes there is no where to sit. Cute and quiet location though.

Busy cafe with friendly staff, amazing food and drinks. Staff were quick to answer questions and check on how we were. I heard about this cafe from a colleague at work and decided to try it out. Was not disappointed! Would recommend to all.

I had the Thai beef salad and it was a pleasant surprise. Beef was very tender and everything went together very well. I especially loved their iced chocolate. Probably the best I've had. The quality is definitely worth the price. I don't think there was a table empty for more than a few minutes! I think we were lucky to get a seat as soon as we arrived.

This is one of my favourite places to eat in the shore. I used to live in the area so I frequented this place a lot. I haven't had a bad meal here. Their coffees and smoothies are great and the food too. I love the salt and pepper squid but I've also tried the beef burger, steak sandwich and pasta. Their servings are massive though so be aware of that. I've had difficulty finishing my food. My sister had the Thai beef salad and it was massive! If you have a big appetite their dishes will be great for you. The downside is this place is quite small and the tables are limited.

I've been to Fact-tree a few times for Brunch and I really love it, but had one bad experience, which is why I'm not giving it a 5.

Each time I've been the staff have been friendly, the atmosphere is good and the food amazing. The milkshakes and iced chocolates are great, so delicious and well presented, though not cheap.

The food is always amazing, especially the presentation. I've only ever ordered off the menu but the food in the cabinet food looks good too.

The negative experience I had was last Sunday when my boyfriend and I went for brunch at about 12.30. It was really busy and although we got seated quickly and our orders taken, it took about half an hour for our drinks to even come, and that was after asking twice. The food then arrived about 10-15 minutes later. If we had known the wait was going to be so bad we wouldn't have ordered. I guess they were having an off day because normally it's just as busy but never have we had to wait so long. It won't deter me from going back though, would just advise others to check how long the wait will be.

Lovely atmosphere accompanied by great service. We ordered a mango + peach smoothie and a chocolate milkshake - both were amazing, can't wait to go back.

Was here for lunch before Christmas. It was my first time trying this place out. I had heard great things about Fact-tree and thought it was time I tried them out myself!

Although it is located in a strange area (felt very residential), once I stepped inside the cafe, I felt like I was transported to the central city. It was quite busy as it was a Sunday, but we managed to secure ourselves a table with the couches.

I ordered a eggs benedict with smoked salmon and avocado, a chocolate milkshake and my friend ordered prawn and scallops with a chai latte.

The food and drinks were quick to reach our table and the service was excellent. My friend usually has quite a large appetite, but even she could not fully finish her meal, so you could imagine how large the portions were.

Overall, they made one of the best and creative eggs benedicts I've ever tried, and on a day when I am super hungry, I will for sure return again.

I absolutely love Fact Tree. It's one of my favourite things about living in Sunnynook. I go there all the time, to pick up a coffee or dine in. My favourite thing is the Corn Fritters, they are just to die for. The iced mocha is delicious, the normal coffees are always good too. I love all of the baking, particularly the date and orange scone. At times the service can feel a bit like they're overwhelmed, but it's always friendly. I just wish it was bigger, because it's always packed!

One of, if not the best café dining experiences I have ever come across. Everything was beautiful and the service wasn't intrusive. I had the salmon egg benedict and although one of the eggs was hard I remains as the best breakfast I have had.
I will definitely be back soon

Awesome cafe! This is probably the best cafe I have been to. Beautifully decorated, friendly staff and most of all, DELICIOUS food and drinks! I have tried most of their food and they are all so yummy. I especially love their risotto (Chef's Special), Thai Beef Salad and Open Steak Sandwich - very flavourful! As for the drinks, I usually order their Iced Mocha or Peach Mango Smoothie. The drinks are a bit pricey but great as a treat. My kids love going to this cafe too. I definitely recommend this cafe!!! Check it out!
Just a heads up - the cafe is relatively small so gets a bit packed during lunch time.

Our daughter insisted we come here and we were so pleased that we went, the drinks are served in old jam jars and are worth the $8.00, I had smoothie in Wellington recently which was half of the size served here but was not half as good. The salt &pepper squid was the best squid I had eaten for ages, so tender, my daughter had the caesar salad, and the wife had a dish from the cabinet. Everything is so fresh, the decor is refreshing and the staff are excellent. Can't wait till we go again, you certainly don't need to go to Ponsonby when you have a place like this on the shore.

Really really cute cafe!!! I had bacon and eggs and loved them!!! For $15 they were really worth it! However, the Iced Chocolate I had however great it was, was very very over priced $8 is far to much seeing as you can go to most cafe's and have them for $5. :) The cafe is really small too, for being so busy it would really benefit the business to think about expanding. Overall the experience we had was really really good, great friendly staff and amazing food!! A+

Really impressive, came for lunch and almost everything on the menu looked amazing. Settled for the corn fritters which were top notch, and an avocado banana & peanut butter smoothie, which was, well, a little weird (other smoothie options looked a bit safer). Friendly service and a nice fit-out too. Would recommend to all!

Fact-tree is my absolute favourite cafe in Auckland. I often pick up my morning coffee here and come with my partner on the weekends. Can't get enough of it!

Costumer service is exceptional and so is the food!!

Stylish decor. Great coffee. Good service. Fabulous food at reasonable prices. Awesome.
My husband and I went for breakfast one Sunday and we would highly recommend the waffles with rhubarb compote and their poached eggs and bacon. Yum!
We've told everyone we know to go there for a coffee too. It's great to be able to pop in for a takeaway coffee on a walk around Sunnynook park - great for mums with baby buggies!

My wife and I had lunch here last Sunday and were most impressed! We both had sandwiches... her the BLAT, myself the steak. Not only did they taste great, but the customer service was second to none! Our coffees had been forgotten about, but this was understandable as this place was very busy... the waitress was very apologetic when they did arrive. Upon settling the bill, they tried to take the coffees off the bill, but I insisted on paying as we had an Entertainment Book voucher. They counter-offered by taking the more expensive meal off the bill. We definitely will be back and will be recommending others to do so!

Very impressed. Lovely ambience, bright and airy space with a lot of care gone into the design. Have been twice now and tried latte, tea, ginger crunch and raspberry/choc muffin. All the cooking is done in-house and is of a very high standard. The coffee was velvety and the tea made with leaves in generous designer pot. My friends and I will be back many times. (reasonably priced too).

Just loved it! I couldn't stop paying attention in each detail. They thought in everything! My husband had a Lasagna and said that it was so good as mine, it means " better than mine ". I had a Stuffed Capsicum...wow! You definitively should try this place!

Am very tempted to go there every day I like it so much; ditto to the other comments on food, styling, atmosphere, service and the variety. Fantastic that they can be open every day in an area you wouldn't expect to be busy enough.
And largely healthy, even the baking seems to have less sugar than other providers.

Wow!! What a refreshing find!!
The decor is modern, relaxing and inviting with plenty of couches (as well as tables). The staff were so friendly :-).
The food was de-lish, both to look at and taste - it was nice to see the twist that has been put to some to the normal options.... you have GOT to try the Hash Browns!! They are D-vine!!! Excellent coffee too ... I just know I'll be a regular!

Fact-tree is simply amazing! Having tried many other cafes throughout Auckland this place is in a league of its own. Firstly the food is consistently 10/10 all beautifully prepared and presented, much better than all other cafes we have tried within the Auckland area. Secondly we have always found the staff very warm and friendly where they have offered pleasant, quick and efficient service. Thirdly the price: definitely worth the price which is on a par to other cafes but the quality of food and service beats the rest! Fact-tree is a clear winner! 10/10 every time - thank you :) Andy and Joanne

Great little spot here. In the heart of sunnynook, at first i questioned the location but realised its a perfect spot for mums and dads to drop their children off at sport down the road and come here for a coffee and bite to eat.

Food is amazing ,portion sizes are good and prices very decent.
The hot chocolates and smoothies are fantastic but maybe a little expensive.

This place is a popular spot and is very busy during the weekends.
Friendly staff that are happy to talk and joke with customers.

We ate breakfast here and it was a lovely dining experience. Quaint peaceful atmosphere. Coffee and food were delicious. We had the bacon bagel and the big breakfast. Plated presentation was well done, and overall recommended for a morning breakfast.

Wonderful food and kind staff. Been going here for 2+ years, as of now I usually go with my boyfriend. Since we’re both broke uni students we split meals, and its pretty affordable for the quality you get. The pulled-pork burger is our favourite and I get the salted caramel latte almost weekly. Absolutely amazing stuff :)

An abundant & tasty brunch. I went with what most reviewers were noting - Eggs Benedict. It didn’t disappoint.. egg was perfect & bacon crispy.. rosti potato & creamed spinach a great compliment. I felt welcome to hang out & read/write while sipping on my second cappuccino.

I came here with my mother and partner to have a nice afternoon brunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite pleasant and spacious. The staff are quite friendly as well and promptly sat us down at a table. Mum ordered the Eggs Benedict and me and my partner ordered the Scotch Steak Sandwich. We also ordered the caramel frappe which was perfectly balanced in terms of sweetness. The food came to our table in about 20 minutes, which is acceptable and well worth the wait. They are quite generous with their portion sizes and the steak was cooked beautifully. We really enjoyed our visit here and if you happen to be in Sunnynook, then definitely give this place a shot! Thank you for the amazing service and food.

Fact-Tree serves delicious brunch meals that are affordable and good serving portion. Staff has always been friendly and attentive. They are one of our go-to cafés in the North Shore. Weekends can be quite busy for them. Must try: Horseradish Creamy Mushroom and Seafood Chowder. They serve great coffee too!

Overall experience is still great, service is efficient and warm. Food is as tasty as expected aside from the overcooked over and easy egg on the Facts-Tree big breakfast. Ginger latte tasted fantastic... shall come back for other stuff.
