We went here on my birthday (practically as soon as Auckland hit level 2 on the first time around) and the service was super friendly! I love the aesthetic of this cafe and the food was super yum too. Real generous portion of lemon curd and berry compote, which is gets a big yes from me 😊

Family and I had brunch here today and it was brilliant. Our server was very polite and professional, drinks and food we did not have to wait long at all. Food is a tad expensive but the portion size is generous as you can see. Highly recommend and will be back. Thank you for a great first time experience. Staff are all really friendly.

In the heart of the Stonefields development, Charlie & George offer more than just good food & friendly service. There's a strong sense of community here that the locals gravitate to. The staff are all smiles, the food is great value for money and with a menu that caters to all dietary requirements across the board - it's not hard to see why they keep coming back for more. 4☆

This place has amazing food. I recommend if you want to have lunch date or if it isn’t crowded or busy like normal maybe a brunch for family. I love the sweet items on the menu - the waffles are my fav!!! It’s super healthy and has a friendly and warm atmosphere to it! Great for friends, students and possibly children however it is a little crowded and very busy on the weekends.

Went here for brunch on a busy Wednesday, staffs we're very nice and attentive, good food and good coffee plus the good atmosphere.

We ordered the Big Breakfast and Egg Bene with Bacon, they also offer Bene Salmon and Bene Vegie which is mushroom and spinach.
I must say they do serve a very generous amount of food on the big Breakfast.
Definitely coming back ❤️

interior was beautiful, full of sunshine through their glass windows. There were indoor and outdoor seating too. Ordered the
•Fried chicken Waffles- full of flavour but it didn’t come w any sauce, so it was rather dry. Had to ordered Aioli sauce for extra charge too
•Beef & Agria Mash was absolutely lovely and full of flavour

I have been here many times, and always enjoy the food and atmosphere. A wide variety of tasty dishes, making it ideal for a brunch date with friends or family. The only downside is that it is often overcrowded, making it hard to get a table and making the staff quite flustered. However still definitely worth visiting.

This is a fabulous cafe. The coffee is great. So close to the netball courts and it’s very popular. So popular in fact that there was a 25 minute wait for a takeaway coffee today If I had all day and wanted to relax - all good. Today was not the day.
My feedback to the owners and front staff is just advise the wait time - then we can decide whether we can afford the time. 🌺

Stumbled across the place on a Sunday . Myself a bd a few mates went for a late breakfast - food and atmosphere is amazing . The big breakfast is huge - hands down the best big breakfast I’ve ever had . Only reason why I gave it a 4 star was because the food took a a little while to come but with the restaurant being pretty packed it was understandable . The food was worth the wait. Coffee was alright - Highly recommend.

Used to be a regular here! I’ve tried everything from blueberry waffles to salmon eggs benny over the years but have been out of town for a bit, so was keen to pop back in and see what was new! The popularity of C&G certainly hasn’t changed. Granted, it was a Saturday morning at 11.30, but the cafe was buzzing and full. I ordered a chai latte and we got some cheese and date scones to share at the table, with berry jam. The coffee was average, a little bit on the warm rather than hot side. And although the date scones were delicious, bursting with dates, and light, our jam was forgotten! The wait staff were so rushed off their feet it took us a while to hunt one down and receive our jam, by which time the scones had mostly been devoured and were cooling down (warm scones or nothing, right?!)The jam however is incredible. It has full berries and is just the perfect sweetness. All in all, great atmosphere and tasty food. Next time I’d go for a smoothie or juice instead of a coffee, though.

Food and service is quite good in this place. We go over there often for breakfast/brunch after swimming in the weekends, nice and relaxed atmosphere. Just $7 for an almond Mocha I find it a bit excessive though.

Coffee is always amazing here. Their cinnamon rolls are one of the best in AKL. Both cabinet and menu food are worth the drive to Stonefields. Very accomodating when I was pregnant. Staff are very welcoming and found this to be a very kid-friendly cafe.

Was welcomed by friendly staff and brightly coloured interior and nice seating. Definitely, the place to come for brunch or even just for a nice coffee and catch up with a friend. They have a good range of cooked dishes as well as cabinet food and sweet treats. I tried their stacked mushrooms which were creamy and delicious. Their portions are generous and everything was served hot and fresh. 

I also ordered a side of fries and they were nicely handcut and large. They were also served in a really cute dish that gave an American diner style vibe. 

Also ordered an apple strudel muffin, which was large in size and had little apple pieces scattered around. It was sweet yet a little savoury also, where all flavours complemented each other well. 

Overall it was a nice meal with comfortable seating with lots of free parking!

Lovely place for brunch with lots of seating both indoors and outside. Great food with a slight touch of class. Options available for GF, DF, and vegetarian, plus most items had a “(k)” for Kids sized serve which worked well for our kids. Plenty of parking too, plus other food options nearby. Would recommend if in or around Stonefields.

I like it here. I've never had a bad meal but don't come in a rush for kitchen food as there is always a wait. It's a busy place but also has a lot of staff working there. Drinks can take 20 mins and today our food took 50 minutes. Portions are always generous but don't come starving or you'll get hangry.

I have dined here for brunch many times. They do breakfast well, great coffee and egg based dishes and great for kids. The counter food is delicious looking too, lots of salads and their baked goods are delicious! Cookies, slices, donuts, cupcakes. Always good service. The only miss was the paleo salad - which was strawberry purée, chicken and 30 roast almonds! Highly recommended for families, kids and a nice breakfast.

Love this cafe! It's one of my favourites as the food is amazing, portion sizes huge and staff are friendly and efficient. I also really like the modern ambience and the cafe itself is nice and spacious. On Sunday I ordered the Vege Scramble which was delicious and full of flavour with just the right amount of chilli and feta. The sourdough came with lots of butter and was super crunchy.

I had the caffeinator smoothie as well which was a nice change from my standard coffee order. The avocado in it makes for a very creamy texture which isn't too sweet. I tried my friends pancakes and they were super fluffy and light, and the serving was so huge we couldn't finish them. On a previous visit I ordered the granola which I still remember as it was the best granola I've ever had. I hope they keep up the good work and never change the menu!

I love the cafe concept and the food is good too.

I recommend the cabinet food...the portion is really generous and it comes with some greens and chutney.

Best to come in a small group..

This is one of my most favorite breakfast cafes in Auckland. My partner (a chef in Auckland) and I drive out of our way to come here. We actually have to force ourselves to check out other breakfast spots...Totally worth the price and they serve breakfast all day long. Service is really great, as well

Ordered a chai latte which was literally frothed milk with cinnamon on top, and our plates then weren't cleared until 30 minutes later when our food arrived, which was annoying because it took up the entire table. Loud inside so I had to lean in to hear everybody. Incredibly busy on a Sunday morning and not a lot of walking space around the tables. The kitchen is very open plan and you can see everything being made which I liked but also made me feel uncomfortable. The waiter gave our first dish and said he was coming back to clear the coffee dishes but never did which was disappointing. The pork belly was nice apart from the overcooked egg. The eggs benedict and buttie were very good ☺️ came here after reading the reviews but I probably wouldn't give it another shot as the $6 frothed milk with cinnamon was a little disappointing.

Quite a neat cafe in the growing suburb of Stonefields, I imagine it gets pretty busy being right opposite the netball courts. The service was ok but could have been more attentive. They took a while to take our orders and re-fill our water.

I ordered the corned beef and potato hash with poached eggs and hollandaise. This was very filling and tasty. The eggs were perfectly poached, the hollandaise was creamy and buttery but not too rich and the potato hash was good too. My only critic would be that the hash was a little on the cold side when served, and could have been crispier on the outside. But other than this it was a pleasant lunch! I'd definately return.

Brunched here on a lovely day, cafe itself is located in a very nice place, away from the bustle of Sylvia Park. It's a very busy cafe, offering seating both inside and outside. We sat outside that had plenty of shading from trees so great stuff.

In terms of staff, most of the waitresses were lovely, however when we were seated the waiter advised he'd bring us the menus but roughly 10 minutes went by and he was just walking around the tables before we just got up and asked another staff member for menus, he then followed up with our menus and water. . But the rest of the staff were efficient, cleaning and clearing tables often.

But anyways ~ the food. We ordered the chicken with corn waffles with a poached egg, big breakfast, Tropicana lassi and the caffeinator.

I enjoyed the chicken in my waffle, however I felt the waffles lacked corn and was a little on the dry side, I'm glad I ordered the extra egg to yolk it up.

The bug breakfast had delicious sausages, and the hash brown was perfectly crunchy and fluffy on the inside.

I really enjoyed my Tropicana lassi, nice and well balanced. I the caffinator was described as not the best (I don't drink coffee but my partner does) couldn't get much of a description but he left it half drunk.

Overall, I'll come back for the hash browns 😍 and possible to dabble into other items on the menu.

Great cafe in the new Stonefields development. Inside is very light & airy with lots of natural light. Outdoor seating available too.
Coffee is Kokako - nicely made, strong but not bitter.
Menu is varied with classics & innovative options too. Decided to try the pork belly which was beautifully presented & full of different flavours & textures. The hash was very crispy so a little harder to eat, but not really an issue. The flavour of the beetroot, the pickle & the smokey tomato really rounded off the dish beautifully.
Service was really good. Water brought to the table. Lots of papers available.

Never fails to please! Amazing service, even better food. Our fave is the Big Breakfast. The food here stands out from any other place.

Came here on a busy Saturday morning and was very impressed by the friendly service and efficient delivery of our meals. I got the salmon eggs bene and my friend got the salmon bagel. Good portions of salmon. I like that the hollandaise is made in store and not bulk purchased. The bagel was a bit of a let down - it was too 'bready' and there wasn't enough cream cheese for our liking. The coffee was fantastic so I ordered a second one. The smoothies were also a hit - I'd like to try the "Caffeinator" next time we visit.

A bit too busy maybe, had to wait a while to be seated. And a bit more time for food to arrive. The chicken waffle tasted nice but portion/flavour was overwhelming after a while. Can be easily shared with a second person. Overall, quite a good cafe but I found it to be quite hectic. Stagger a visit when it's not peak hour for a better experience in my opinion.

Went to the cafe on a rainy saturday morning and was surprised to find it packed! Even though there were no tables we managed to find some space. Food took a little time but was expected given the rush of customers. 

We had the vege scramble, blueberry waffles and a Chicken sandwich from the cabinet. The portions were more than enough and tasted very good! Drinks were not too bad either.

Would definitely visit again to try more stuff.

This place is usually packed and very hard to get a table. We managed to get one and they were really busy. They seemed a bit under staffed both out the front and in the kitchen. There seemed to be a bit of waiting.

We were seated and they gave us water for the table. It took a while to get their attention to order. Once ordered it took another while to get the food.

The food was good. It was an interesting mix of classic breakfast items and what appears to be like American diner fare. Decent portion sizes and was very tasty.
I had the chicken and corn waffles. The waffles had bits of corn in it and tasted like corn. The chicken was fried well and the salad went well with both.
Nice place to have some food if you aren't in a rush to go anywhere.

Really nice place and food is really good. 2 of us from our group thought we'd try one of the drinks that sounded interesting....as it turned out, we didn't like it - which happens when you try something new. I went and paid for 2 more iced coffees. The manager or owner found out and came out and said that they're on the house and provided a good explanation as to why they weren't up to scratch (the avocados weren't quite right). We tried to say that we were more than happy to pay for them as we were trying something new but she wouldn't have a bar of it and took them off the bill. When we went to pay she then gave us 2 free coffees for next time. The customer service was top notch along with the food. Will be back.. :-)

Packed Weekend Brunch, this place is sunny, vibrant and colourful.

Nice decor with an open kitchen, we were quickly seated and given menus. We ordered a variety of dishes and one of the things that stood out to me straight away was the excellent portion sizes.

Although our meals took awhile to come out, our meals were tasty and visually ravishing.

Coffee was pretty good and I really enjoyed my dinning experience here. I look forward to coming back.

Showstopper: Chicken and Waffles.... Bloody amazing.

Nice bright and pleasant. Went there with mum and dad at lunch time. We all enjoyed what we had. I had the steak sandwich, mum had a chicken salad and dad had fish cakes. Good portion sizes for lunch! It was very reasonably priced. I think their meals were less than $20 and mine was just on $20. The service was good. We were in a hurry as we had an appointment so it probably felt slower than it was. All the staff were polite and friendly even though obviously busy. I'd happily go back and try everything else on the menu.

This cafe is amazing!

Located in exclusive little stone fields, I didn't know what to expect. The place was absolutely packed and we were notified there would be a 40 minute wait. I have absolutely no problem with waiting as long as I am told about it so thanks guys!

We ordered the vege scramble and the blueberry waffles, and coffee.

Coffee was yummmmmm, kokako coffee which is always a hit.

Our food came in 25 minutes which we were pleasantly surprised with, considering how busy it was.

Vege scramble was DELICIOUS. Scrambled eggs with creamy mushrooms, feta and fresh chilli on sourdough. The balance was perfect and the serving was massive!

Blueberry waffles came with marscapone, blueberry syrup and lemon curd. Hands down best waffles I've ever had. Tasted like fresh soft blueberry muffins, melted in the mouth and it was huge!

Highly recommend :) can't wait to come back!

Busy little cafe on a Sunday morning. Place was packed and had to wait over 40 mins from ordering to getting food which is too long when you have a toddler. Eggs Bene was very tasty however not sure why they stack it, looks impressive but made it difficult to eat. Omelette was a little watery and too much feta. Overall I think the experience would have been much better if we had visited on a quieter day.

Went for brunch, was welcomed in by a friendly staff member and seated. I had a poached chicken salad which was large, fresh and had a lot of chicken in it. Very happy for $19. Cafe was very clean and tidy. Easy to find with lots of parking. If you can't tell I was very happy. Service is important to me and at all times the staff were friendly towards us.

I used to go to University of Auckland Tamaki campus for my final year of optometry few years ago. And back then, there was literally nothing nearby. I mean LITERALLY NOTHING nearby. The only place we could go for coffee was either a franchise coffee that serves flatwhite in a boiling milk, or filter coffee at a nearby McDonald's.

However, when I went back to Uni few days ago, I found this lovely cafe. The atmosphere was great, staffs were friendly and the coffee was great. 

I didn't feel that hungry so ended up only having a bagel with jam/cream cheese, but it was a good visit.

Full credit to this cafe in the heart of Stonefields which is supplying a much needed service to the cafe deprived residents of the surrounding massive housing project. This place was packed, and with real people as well, amateur diners like myself, which gives a sense of its down to earthiness. They have kitted out the interior in flashy orange stripes and contemporary branding which gives it the feel of an upmarket airport cafe. Service very friendly, coffee quite good, plenty of room (indoor and outdoor), some of the cabinet pastry items didn't wow unfortunately but overall I was impressed and would definitely stop in again if passing by!

A lot of attention to detail in this ethical consumption oriented cafe. Vege benedict was pretty near perfect. Loved it. Tried the Chemex single origin non-pressurised filter coffee out of curiosity. Was a little light for me flavour and caffeine-wise but the presentation was stunning (as with everything in the cafe).

Service was a real mixed bag. Very very friendly, lovey people, but not attentive. 10-15 minutes between being seated with a menu and any further attention from any of the staff who were passing regularly. They were busy-ish, but it only takes 5 seconds to say 'we'll be with you soon'. Similarly with food, no meal check and plate stayed on the table for a long time (I didn't mind that, but it was a sign that the staff didn't really have their eyes on their tables).

Anyway, the friendliness, presentation, great food and innovative thinking made this the place to finally get me to download zomato and write a review lol.
Good wifi connection too.
Highly recommended.

What I love about Charlie and George is that the produce is fresh, free range and healthy yet at the same time it tastes sinful!  I wish every cafe had the same ethics, we are what we eat so we don't want to be fast or cheap and these guys prove that it doesn't have to be any more expensive to be good!  I am not normally a muesli person but the house bircher muesli is to die for and my all time favourite is the bacon butty!  I could list all the amazing things I have eaten here but it would be easier to say nothing I have ever ordered has been a dissapointment.

I ordered the poached eggs with corned beef and agria hash with spicy tomato hollandaise sauce. Such a simple dish and every component had its own flavour. Last time I ordered the mushrooms on toast and it just hit the spot for my mushroom on toast craving. I also managed to get the caffeinator smoothie which they only do in limited portions. It's a mixture of coffee, caramel, almond milk, avocado and lsa. I'm a smoothie connesuier and it didn't hit the spot for me so i got the banoffee one which was also too liquidey for my liking. The staff are friendly but they always seem to be short staffed. Nice little hipster type cafe trying to find it's feet. This place is always packed so it's good to get in early. I will probably be a regular here the food is fresh, simple and amazing.

Went to try this cafe first time...absolutely superb service and coffee was really nice & hot. We ordered American sandwich and steak sandwich which was huge meals. Nothing major about the food or may be just wrong choices. But other than that everything else was fantastic. Will definitely return and try other things from cabinet.

First of all, i want to commend the quick, efficient and friendly service the staff provided today :)

My partner ordered the bacon egg benedict and enjoyed it - he also said his coffee was good. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered the date slice and was pleased with it. It was crunchy, sweet and very enjoyable. On the other hand, my mocha wasn't the greatest. It tasted more like a hot chocolate
>:(

The waffles caught my eye- definitely have to come back to try it out :)

Came across this place after shopping on Lunn Ave, very glad that I did! This place is exactly what Mt. Wellington needed. It is what I would call 'Instagram-worthy' (as you can see in the pictures included) The staff are most likely the friendliest human beings on the planet, no joke. The food comes pretty quickly and the drink selection is primo 👌🏼 I had the open steak sandwich and it was the most pricey item on the menu at $20, which means this place is very well priced! Big portions and fresh, handmade food. I give this two thumbs up 😋

Great cafe with some good people and awesome vibes. Very busy on a Saturday but there were plenty of seats as long as you don't mind being abit close to other diners. I actually loved the relaxed atmosphere of this place.

The coffee here is amazing, the chemex is an unique pick for coffee lovers! Everything came abit slower than cafe speed but understandable as it was very busy.

Food was pleasant, great seasoning and very generous servings. Only thing that I couldn't fully enjoy were the eggs, they were quite dry and tough. Both the omelet and the scrambled eggs were the same. Fluffy soft eggs are my personal preference so I just didn't enjoy the food as much as I expected to. The pancakes were amazing though!

Overall, this is a great place to hang out with friends and family

A fantastic hip cafe in the new Stonefields development, with a great "bring your kid, bring your dog" kind of vibe. Lots of tables inside and out, perfect for a summer day. Their coffees are great but their smoothies are so so good. They have a wild selection of food from the cabinet, including slices and berliners and panini's. I always go for their corned beef agria hash with poached eggs and chilly lime hollandaise off the menu, but that's just me.. Delicious!

Came on a busy morning, tables were full and takeaway queue was long. The place was hectic and the wait was long but the food was worth the wait. We ordered pancakes and big breakfast. The pancake looked ordinary but it was very nice and fluffy. The big breakfast was indeed very big and filling. Staff was friendly. We decided we wanted to go back to try the lunch menu already.

Very good experience I had the other day for brunch at Charlie & George. The set up of the cafe is different but a nice vibrant feel to it. Not as full when we first arrived but was almost full to capacity when we were leaving close to lunch time. I love Kokako coffee so I knew the coffee would be great here and indeed it was. They delivered one of the best, if not the best, Blueberry Waffles I've had! Great work guys. Will definitely be back.

The service, atmosphere and most importantly the food and drinks were pretty good! I didn't order the most exciting thing on the menu (scrambled eggs on turkish bread) however they were able to make this simple dish just the way I liked it. My partner ordered the egg white omelete (not the most exciting thing either) but it had this surprising filling inside which we think was cream cheese or some kind of cheese and it just gave the omelette so much more taste! Looking at the orders around us, we kind of regretted not getting the pancakes or the corn waffles and chicken cause they looked divine! Definitely returning to this place to try these two dishes. Despite the place being busy the whole time we were there, the service was great, our waitress didn't for get us and got out of her way to get us a table inside cause it was pretty chilly! Their smoothies were also pretty good too, we tried the berry smoothie and their signature smoothie, the caffeinator (had avocado and coffee!!! sounds weird but it was nice!). I definitely would recommend to try this place out east!

Met here with our bloggers club and the place was fantastic. The owner was so freaking friendly - which I was surprised at because the place was mega packed and she still had a smile on her face. Bonus points.

I ordered the chicken salad and wasn't disappointed. Very generous helping, and delicious too.

My only gripe was that I was directly in the sun getting a mega sweat on. Not the cafe's fault, as it was sunny. But I dreamed a magical umbrella would come out and protect me from the hot burning ball in the sky. Couldn't move from my seat as the place was packed to the rafters.

I've been here a few times now, and in a word I can describe Charlie & George as pleasant. Each time I have come it has been fairly busy, which is always a good sign. The interior and atmosphere are awesome, and the staff are super friendly.

For me the food lets this place down. First let me say that there isn't anything particularly wrong with the food choice. I've had the fish cakes, buttermilk pancakes, and most recently the BLAT, which were all fine... But nothing spectacular that makes me want to keep coming back. Additionally, the menu hasn't really changed since my first visit over year ago... Which is disappointing - it's exciting to try new things!

Charlie & George isn't too far from where I live so it's a good choice if you want to go somewhere not too far from Eastern Suburbs. However if proximity weren't a factor it wouldn't be my absolute first choice.

Someones I try to find a cafe that serves something different than other cafes.  Today Charlie and George did just that, where their menu was luckily enough to tickle my fancy.

Corned Beef and Agria Hash was just that and freshly baked counterfood.   Food was good, but not overly outstanding but certainly was worth travelling across town to try this place out.    

Though I would say, if you were in the area and am looking for some decent cafe food, then I would suggest you give this place a try.  Otherwise, you are better off finding somewhere local.

Charlie & George is a super hip and modern cafe. The ambience is relaxing and oozing with a hipster theme.
The staff are happy and approachable.
We ordered the Bacon Benedict and Chicken Burger with fries to eat ; and Banofee and Berry Power Smoothie to drink. The food looked gorgeous and heaving with sauce. My bacon was crispy and the eggs were poached soft with an oozing yolk and generous portion of Benedict sauce. It was delicious. The chicken burger was succulent and the chipotle sauce made all the difference.
Their smoothies are amazing, they're definitely pricey but the quality is there. They don't skimp on the flavour.
Overall the food, service and atmosphere is amazing they're just pricey.

After seeing this place rated 5/5 in the canvas magazine I had to check it out! Situated in the Stonefields complex I feel lucky to have it close by.

The cafe is nicely setup with quirky touches scattered throughout. With lots of natural light and sun they offer indoor and outdoor seating. The cabinet food looked just as good to those listed on the menu so there's plenty to choose from. The service was pleasant and friendly.

My friend and I ordered the Blueberry waffles and Vege scramble. The three stack of waffles were thick and light but we found them a tad dry, luckily the berry and lemon curd side sauces helped. The Vege scramble was very tasty and just the right size. The mushroom, chilli, and feta were a very nice addition to the usual eggs on toast.

The cafe was packed during our time there so you'll have to be quick to snatch a table. Next time I'll be back to try the lunch menu!

Met a friend for lunch here during the week and it was packed! The cabinet food is awesome and reasonably priced, I had a gourmet ham and cheese sandwich, coffee and carrot cake for $18.50. My friend had the creamy mushrooms and was very impressed. Good ambience and attentive staff, although one waitress looked as though she was having a bad day! Lots of mums with babies and strollers which I love, although it made it very crowded and I'm not sure I would turn up here with my own coffee group. Overall a great experience and I will be back.

Came here with kids on Saturday morning. Very busy (mainly take away coffees for the netball crowd across the road). Surprisingly for a table by the window.
Coffee great and the iced chocolate my son ordered was utterly divine.
I had the corned beef and agria hash which was great although the poached eggs were just a touch overdone (I like them really runny).
Daughter had blueberry waffles with two sauces (lemon and blueberry) which she demolished and pronounced fantastic
Son had bacon and eggs bap which was apparently "OK" whatever that means in 10 year old speak - there was nothing left on the plate!
Busy, bustling, good service, great coffee, and good food - definitely try the iced chocolate!

First time here; we just happened to stumble into it as we were driving around in the neighbourhood., and thank god we did.

It was fully packed on a saturday morning but was able to be seated within a few minutes.

We had the creamy mushrooms on toast and the corned beef agria hash; both were well portioned, delicious and presented well. Had the banoffee smoothie and latte, both nice.

Came to just over $45. Pricey but thought definitely worth it. Would recommend it if in the neighbourhood.

My boyfriend and i went there for our Sunday brunch. We knew it would be busy as it was the top 10 cafes in auckland and it was on a sunday aswell, but we didnt know it would be that busy that it took 1 and a half hour for the food to come.!Although from the start the waiter told us that there will be a 40 mins wait on food. I got the egg benedict and my boyfriend got the hotdog. Both the food was delicious and the pricing was reasonable. The staff was nice and very helpful. We didn't get angry or annoyed because it took that long, as we knew they were super busy and we understand how hard it would be if everyone is wanting to order food, find tables, and waiting for their food and theres only limited staffs. But overall despite the wait on food, it was great and would definitely come back

There was a heavy layer which I had to scrape off. It's a cafe that's always pumping and staff are busy which is good and bad but I didn't mind running up tot the counter to ask for more of their delicious coffee! Although it would've been easier if our waitress had just asked me when she collected our plates rather than rushing off in a second...

Charlie & George is a contemporary glass-box full of familial happiness in the middle of modern residential suburbia; Stonefields. There are high chairs available, kids drawings on the walls, playful neon signage and crayons galore. I felt like I was intruding an under 5s tea party where my invite had gotten lost in the mail. It's awfully cute and transcends a joyful vibe, until thus crying baby disrupts the tranquility of my lemon and ginger tea. Anyhow, the the pea risotto was pleasantly yum, though oil saturation level 100 and the extra side of bacon was a tad too salty, measely and tough. However the banofee smoothie was mind-blowing; probably one of the best smoothies I've consumed at a cafe and a must do if you're pit stopping through the burbs.

This is a really nice, fresh open plan style cafe tucked into the Stonefields market block. Simple, bright decor. Best Ugly BLT bagel was on the menu and I'm told was yummy. The waffles were quite thick and very filling and we're just like pancakes. I chose the waffles because they were on the menu with a lemon curd that I would imagine would taste delicious with the berry sauce. They did tell me that they had run out of lemon curd (it was 9am on tues) when I ordered but I thought I'd give it a go. The substitute was maple syrup so it was all quite sweet. I will come back some day and look forward to trying the lemon curd.

You have to get the Banoffee smoothie we love it

This Cafe is family friendly and great for locals.
This is the second time we have been here. We ordered the eggs benedict, the big breakfast and the smoked trevally fish cakes.
If you're a cafe serving breakfast/brunch you have to do a good hollandaise sauce and they did.
The big breakfast wasn't anything special however if just feel like everything then it's perfect
The trevally fish cakes were nice, if you like potatoes then this is great for you. I thought there was not enough fish to potato ratio.

I will definitely go back for the Banoffee smoothie

Charlie & George is situated in a little block of shops in the Stonefields suburb in Auckland. I love the set up of the shops and I hope Auckland gets more of these types of blocks!

I came to Charlie & George in a big group of people and children. We pre-ordered our meals and some drinks before heading along because we were such a big group. When we arrived for our booking time it was really busy, but not crazy chatoic. The cafe is large has a great indoor-outdoor flow. We were sat inside in the sun, and I was a little sad we weren't outside on the beautiful outside tables, when I come back i'll definitely nab one of those ones! The decor of C&G is modern, stylish and fresh. I really liked the feel of the cafe. It reminds me of the new Sierra cafe out fits, but better.
I really loved their terrarium table number pots too - I wish I could've snapped one of those up and taken it home.

Our food and drinks came out really quick considering the size of the kitchen (which you can see from your tables, love this) and the fact the cafe was full of other punters. All of the food and drink were presented beautifully. I got the BLAT bagel and a Long Black. The bagel was delicious and had the perfect amount of everything on it. The coffee was strong and good, and came out on a cool little platter.

I didn't get to taste anyone else's food, but everyone was raving about how good it was - their hot chips looks so so good. If you are after a kid-friendly, full on cafe for your brunch or lunch then I would definitely recommend coming here.

Great food in a beautiful, modern setting. I always judge a cafe by their Eggs Benedict, so that's what I ordered the first time I went. It was absolutely delicious and a decent portion too. One downside for me is that they don't have wifi or places to plug in, which is a bit of a pain for me as I like to work in cafes. But the most important things are the food and the service, which they've totally nailed.

There are limited choices when it comes to finding a good suburban cafe around the Mt Wellington and Panmure area, so when they developed the Stonefields market and the subsequent eateries, I welcome Charlie and George with open arms.

Food: With a good selection of food at Charlie and George, we were spoilt for choice when it comes to ordering our meal. They have a selection of breakfast and lunch dishes and a handful of vegetarian choices as well as dishes that caters for the gluten free and dairy free.

Coffee: Charlie and George serves certified Fairtrade organic coffee, roasted by Kokako. You can order drinks from the espresso machine or try the bottled cold brew. Apparently they also do Chemex coffee but on the two occasions that I asked, they were sold out! They also offer a selection of juice, tea, smoothie and bottled cold beverages.

Price: Well priced. breakfast around $13, lunch $18 and coffee $4.5

Location and Parking: Located in Stonefields Market, they have plenty of car parks for their customers. It’s a little hidden if you are not familiar with the area.

Dining Experience: Coming in on a late Saturday morning, the place was already busy with people that were wanting brunch. The place was still buzzing when we left at 1PM. We were very lucky to get a table! Service was friendly and they come and take your order. I like the decor and ambience. Very kid friendly with colouring pages and buckets of chalk outside.

Went to a great cafe last weekend. Charlie and George in stonefields Auckland. Being Coeliac I had a million questions, they were so patient and answered them graciously. They could confirm their quinoa parfait had no traces of gluten. And the chef had changed where they source the seeds from to be 100 %gf. It was delicious and so nice to be able to have a lovely type of oat free granola out. my friend had eggs on gf toast the bread was divine.

My daughters and I were really looking forward to Sunday brunch at Charlie & George as they have been watching building progress on the way to swimming lessons. We went late Sunday morning, clearly at the same time as everyone else in the neighbourhood! We found a table straight away and the girls quickly got busy colouring in. There was a short wait for service and food but nothing more than you would expect at any busy cafe on a Sunday morning. The food was delicious and the pancakes were rated "the best thing I have ever eaten." Looking forward to our next visit.

Myself and my partner went to this cafe today, Sunday. It was extremely busy but we were fortunate enough to get a table immediately. I was still expecting to have to wait to get served, but straight away a staff member came over to get our coffee order. Shortly afterwards a different staff member came over and took our food order. Our coffees would have arrived within 5 minutes and our meals within 10 minutes which was really impressive, considering they were rushed off their feet. Everything was absolutely divine and we can't wait to return to try something different. The only downside was we would have liked to have lingered longer in such a cool atmosphere but people were waiting for tables so we thought it only fair to relinquish our table and let them see what the hype is about. We will be back. This week!

Very impressed with the menu here at 'Charlie and George'.
I popped in for my first cuppa coffee, which, while quite little for its pricetag, was very good.
I had a most delicious choc-iced afghan on the side - which for $3.50 was the perfect four-bite size - I liked that it was not oversized!

The menu, which I'll have to sample another day, was very impressive, with its thoughtfulness towards sustainable, free-range, etc. Particularly the Trevally fish-cakes popped out to me as the dish I will be back to try (a great not-overfished option - so I was really impressed to see the thought that went into this choice of species).
Kokako coffee, along with the other quite local and ethical producers where possible will suit our wee Stonefields community well.

Thank you for bringing such a well-researched and thoughtfully stocked cafe to the neighbourhood!

Charlie and George is a decent sized, family friendly cafe out East Auckland. The interior is bright and their menu extensive. I started with the banoffe smoothie which was awesome, really tasty without being too sweet. I also ordered a ham and spring onion omlette. Very filling and the toast on the side was delicious.

Fraser ordered the big breakfast and that look delicious. They have colouring pages with crayons on each table so we spent some time colouring in too! :) the staff were excellent, very very friendly. I really appreciate on their menu they list where they source their locally produced items.

Charlie & George is the first cafe in Stonefields Market . The interior of the place is nice and bright. It’s family friendly with plenty of room for us to manoeuvre and station the pram without tripping anyone up. If you have older children, there was a bucket of chalk placed outside and children were happily scribbling on the concrete. Hubby ordered the banoffee smoothie (which was really good and something you must try if you love banoffee pie) and the Best Ugly Bagel which came with marinated heirloom tomato, avocado, cream cheese and pesto. He also ordered a side of fries which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I ordered the lemongrass and ginger tea, which was lovely and strong, and the corned beef and agria hash. This was hearty and rich, with the hollandaise sauce (although not spicy as the menu stated) being the right mix of creaminess and sharpness. It would have been improved with a small green salad on the side I think – it needed something to cut through all the richness.
We enjoyed our visit. The food was good, the ambience lovely and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

I love this place! I come here to catch up with my friends sometimes and it has such a good variety of food on the menu as well as the cabinet. I love their bagels here and they always have such friendly service! I’ve come here quite a few times and I’m always happy with my meal

Heck of a spot! We came here post workout and tucked in to one of the smoothies with added protein. Just because we’re looking to get swoooole. It was delicious and the service was great. Try catch it on a nice day as it has a tidy little outdoor area as well. Thanks guys! Hamish Dorrington Kakapo Business Sales

Went there for brunch. 3 adults + 1 infant. The buttermilk pancakes were great! I added bacon and the ice-cream. I did ask for cream instead, but they didn't have any. Pancakes were nice and fluffy, and the bacon was cooked to my liking. They had okay access for the stroller and a change table in the bathroom, which is a huge plus! 4 stars only as the coffee wasn't the best.

Stopped by for lunch. Fairly busy but there was a free table. Iced chocolate was a but bitter but the ice cream made it alright. They had a few different items on the menu and tried the pumpkin risotto. The rice was a bit too al dente for me but the pumpkin flavour was there. The feta and nuts gave it good texture and flavour. Nice cafe to stop by if you're in the area. Edit: We came by for a work lunch so there was a decent number of us. We did book beforehand. They are part of the Stonefield complex so you are able to use the parking lot there. They have both cabinet food as well as an a la carte menu. The menu has a range of interesting items like a lamb tostada and chicken and waffles. I ended up going with the creamy mushrooms. The mushrooms were nicely seasoned and there was a decent heap over the sourdough. It was a nice place for a casual lunch and does cater for most dietary needs.

I have not visited Charlie and George in many years and it's still a excellent cafe and I love menu. The chicken waffle tasted delicious and I would highly recommend this dish if your coming. We loved the decor and great service we got from the friendly staff.

Amazing place for breakfast and lunch. Fast and professional service. Have a great range of different foods and are quite sizeable portions. Plus the quality of the food was amazing. Can get busy but it's not too loud which is good. Inside and outside seating available. Definitely recommend to try it out if you're thinking about it.

Love this cafe! One of the best cafes I've been to because their all day breakfast and lunch menus are different to the typical ones you get elsewhere! Nice plating, good flavour and substantial too. Highly recommend if you are in the area:)

During the weekend, I visited Charile and George café and was delighted by the exceptional service from the staff, who were incredibly amiable. Moreover, the delectable cuisine served at the establishment was not only delightful to the taste buds but also offered at an exceptionally reasonable price.

Charlie & George is a great cafe! I stopped by today for lunch and the food was great. I had the best service from Chenna who looked after me and recommended what to eat for lunch. I was also met with great customer service from everyone else in their team. Great neighbourhood cafe! Definitely recommend!
