I have been coming here for a long time with my Mum, regularly. The staff are very lovely to us & we love to have our lunch & coffee & people watch.
Had a wonderful breakfast at Jamaica Blue.
I ordered the Big Blue Breakfast & my Aunty ordered the mushroom bacon & toast.
Delicious food & wonderful service. Will definitely come back.
I had the vegetarian Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Oats with Banana and Honey. Both well presented and enjoyable. If you're waiting for someone at the airport with some time to kill, this is a good spot to get some breakfast rather than at the airport itself. The staff were engaging and friendly. Bathrooms were very clean and presentable. Felt a little awkward having to ask what the deal was with service, so I think that should be communicated as soon as you're greeted at the front counter on entry.
Dropping mum at the Airport, we had a bit more time than we had expected and we were all a little bit hungry so we decided to grab a bite at Jamaica Blue. I’ve never heard of this cafe chain before and I have to admit they are certainly better than your typical Columbus Coffee or Coffee Club.
We ordered a cheese scone ( Always appreciate places that melt the butter a little to make it easier to spread ) , Spanish Omelette and a big breakfast.
Also the pricing here is not atrocious like most food operators around the airport. Our three meals with two coffees cost around 60 dollars. Great value for buck I would say.
If you’re after a bite around Auckland airports and want something that isn’t specifically fast food I would highly recommend giving Jamaican Blue a try. They also have some great stuff who are courteous and attentive.
Showstopper: Personally I thought my Spanish omelette was ridiculously filling. I reckon if they added some chilli it would really take the omelette to another level but thats just my suggestion. My brother who had the big breakfast was also quite impressed, he’s an aspiring body builder and he loved the food.
Overall Grade: B+
Really enjoyed Jamaica Blue. Great coffee and food. Friendly and efficient staff. Everything that is needed really. Was pretty busy but we didn't have to wait long for food/coffee. 😊
Stopped by here for lunch today, with low expectations as their Zomato rating isn’t the best and there aren’t a lot of cafes in the area. But after our visit we were pleasantly surprised. The space has a nice vibe about it and I liked that it is well lit with natural light. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so you won’t have trouble finding a table – even during peak times.
The service was good! Our food was served in 10 minutes and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Smashed avo on toast with haloumi and the creamy mushrooms on toast. The mushrooms were really tasty and with just the right amount of creaminess. It was a simple dish done well. The smashed avocado on toast was also good. All the ingredients in the dish were really fresh and they were happy to switch the bacon out for haloumi (and plenty of it). The coffee was pretty decent too.
Although it’s not the best café food we’ve had, we wouldn’t rule it out. They have a decent breakfast and lunch menu, and for those needing a quick bite – their cabinet food looks pretty good too.
I get free food vouchers at my shifts at the Auckland hospital so during the last few weeks, Iv been using them mainly at Jamaica Blue and I have no regrets coz their coffee is actually soooo nice!! That's all I've mainly tried so far and I'm hoping to get around their cabinet food eventually as well. I also like how they have little loyalty cards. The staff are so cute and chirpy all the time!! :)
I have been this cafe for a quick lunch, coffee is great especially the latte art, looks very nice. And meal tastes good, but the price is a little bit over. Staff are very nice service is good. I'll be there again when I go to Auckland oaks.
Good place for what it is. Wouldn't say is the best place but it's good for a quick stop over. Still is a nice place especially the seating outside which is a nice touch.
A great place to stop before flying out. The coffee is slightly expensive but I guess that's the price you pay for a good cup of coffee! They do daily specials which includes a main meal and a coffee, so worth it!!
Excellent coffee and food, a great experience for our first morning in NZ!
I absolutely love the girls and guys that work here. The coffee is amazing (especially with a flavour shot) and the food is always super fresh. Whether you’re just looking for a quick coffee to go or a good long sit down, this place is perfect.
Have been coming here for years and the food is delicious. A good option near the airport which is reasonably priced.
Lovely waiters, beautiful and organized atmosphere, and great service. I wanna come back here when I will visit Auckland again. Thank you for the waiters’ efforts
Decent coffee and food. Conveniently located in the Ibis Hotel where I stayed for my transit in Auckland. They have free wifi. Seating area is comfy and cozy.
Eggs Benedict were great!
Called in for breakfast with my wife and a friend who had just arrived from New York.
I had the Eggs Benedict and a large extra hot flat white coffee.
The eggs bene were cooked to perfection, and the flavour of the hollandaise sauce was very nice.
The coffee was served extra hot, and it was on a good sized mug.
Would definitely come back here again!
We popped in for a coffee. The coffee was pretty good - they had coconut milk available which I like. And we were offered a discount for bringing our own reusable cups. The staff were super friendly and gave our wee one an awesome Jamaica Blue pirate themed colouring and activity pack. We'll definitely be back!
We had eggs bene and pancakes. Delicious 😋 and well presented. Highly recommend.
We were riding by on our bicycles and stopped in for a tea and coffee.
Tea/coffee was great. Would recommend the oatmeal Cookie over the chocolate chip cookie.
The oatmeal Cookie was good flavor and raisins. The chocolate chip was dry and uninspired. So dry I dipped it in my tea!
Great place to park or bikes. Fully loaded with lots of room. Bonus is that there was a pump for tires there as well.
Recommended stop for cyclists.
Corn fritters stack $12.90. good selection of cabinet and menu food. Have various food for allergies, incl different milk for hot drinks. Sparrows seem to know how to fly in. Bird poo on some of seats. Indian woman on register serving was difficult to understand and had to ask her to repeat what she'd said.
Got a flat white and cappuccino and their so good!! Smooth and delicious. Even orded it during rush hour and the service was very good. The barrister was awesome, she's super fast.
Kai pai! 👏🏽
Great variety of cabinet and menu food. Delicious coffee. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely go there again! A+++
Breakfast was okay. We got the breakfast option from the hotel, and we chose the eggs your way option. I chose the fried option, which ended up being two fried eggs, two medium slices of toast, and a small drink; not bad for the price ($12 NZD, about $8 US) but wasn't enough to fill me up. We ended up getting another pastry and a coffee/tea cause we were still hungry, which was about $11 NZ more.
If you choose scrambled eggs you get more like 3 eggs so probably the best your-way style imo.
Used to come here alot when i worked in the area. Havnt been for a few years and glad to see that the food, coffee and service is still outstanding. Looking forward to my next visit.
