We grabbed a cake here for a birthday. It was the coffe and pecan praline and it did taste nice. You could taste the coffee, chocolate and the pecan. it did look different to what was on the site but that could have been due to the writing on the cake.
Came to westmere off my normal track and had lunch here. At Catroux. Very enjoyable sandwiches and shared a lemon pistachio treat. I found the coffee excellent which with all press I am not normally so effusive. Well worth the trip. Staff pleasant and place clean. Cost $$

Found it hard to enjoy a cafe that's full of smoke, and left with my hair and clothes stinking of burnt food.
Clearly major ventilation issues.
Secondly soggy toast from wet eggs is sacrilege, which took 10 mins to get new toast.
Wake up Chef.

Good food generally. Great sandwiches and other baked items. The beef pie is mince though and not very unique in flavor, so that isn't something I'd order again. The coffees are always perfect.
Nice coffee～ The shape of the cake is beautiful.
My go-to place for birthday cake! Everybody loves it.
We had a delicious Fitness bowl. Excellent, tasty, good quality products.
Cost and value are worth what you get.
Well located in Westmere, parking around.
The best cakes in town. We ordered carrot cake and it was amazing. Soft, fluffy with just right amount of icing. Had carrot cakes in top restaurants in Auckland but this one beats all of them. Highly recommend.
Make this your regular Sunday brunch spot. Everything was exceptional! In particular the French toast, perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Great place to treat yourself and they have healthy options if you're sticking to New year's resolutions.
We choose to get our wedding cake from Catroux due to their incredible flavours. We had salted caramel and rhubard for the bottom tier and lemon and raspberry for the top tier. We left the decorating up to them and they did great, so many compliments about the tastiness of the cake.
First time at Catroux in a few years. Friendly service, great coffee, delicious menu & good cabinet food selection. Loved the Goodness Muesli - figs & raspberries a pleasant addition to what was in description.
Gorgeous food, well presented, excellent service.
I had the mushrooms on toast, (mouth-wateringly excellent) with a couple of perfect poached eggs, and a slice of their own seedy bake, )also insanely tasty).
Love this place.
I've had good and not-so-good experiences here. But the last visit was lovely - not too busy for a Friday, delicious salads and yummy menu. Will be going back for the haloumi scrambled eggs with chimichurri and chilli salt - sounds delish! Great vegetarian options too.
Delicious food, coffee and cakes. Great vibe, friendly staff as well as amazing party catering. The full shabang!
Wonderful 'fitness bowl'. Just amazingly healthy and sooooo delicious! Wow that was good.
Nice small cafe, great service. Good selection of nice cabinet food, good coffee.
Sweet French Toast pictured below...
BEST SPOT IN WESTMERE!
Coffee and food are on point. If you want something light and fresh, they have it or if you are a bit dusty and want a big breakfast, they got you too.
Definitely recommend!
