This coffee shop is a delightful place for coffee and pastry lovers. Their croissants are a flaky, buttery delight, and the cinnamon rolls are a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Pair them with a latte, and you have a match made in heaven. The coffee is expertly brewed, and the velvety texture of the latte foam adds a touch of luxury to each sip. The cozy ambiance and friendly baristas make it an ideal spot for a leisurely morning or a quick pick-me-up. If you're seeking a delicious start to your day, this coffee shop with its amazing pastries and lattes is a must-visit.
Everything here is absolute perfection! The most incredible brunch options, with amazing seasonal changes. The spring breakfast gnocchi with greens was a standout recently, along with the coffees, hot chocolates, and creme brûlée danish. Heaven.
What a spot! The team here are no joke and run a very tight ship. Excellent service, top-tier coffee, and the prices here are better than most. If you’re kneading a good cup of coffee and a bite to eat then look no further…

Awesome local vibe, always poppin with people on weekends so if you want to dine in got to be vigilant. Their cabinet food is delish, everything is very crisp. Tried a decent array of what they had to offer -and can’t go wrong with the almond croisssnt-on the softer mushier filling side if that’s how you like your filled croissants. Shoutout to croque Monsieur and truffle item, great bakery goods to be shared amongst friends to try a variety. Think if I had to eat one thing on my own probably wouldn’t have been as great of an experience so if you have a variety defs worth going with pals and trying different pieces!
The corner shop very warm and sweet. The regular coffee was smaller than usual cafes. Food was nice.
Knead on Benson used to be my neighbourhood cafe and I miss it so much. Generous portions, and everything on the menu is delicious! My favorite is the vegan banana chai cake. Would love the recipe for that! Avocado toast with halloumi is to die for also! Yum!! Outdoor seating is perfect for a pram. Would pop in for my morning oat milk mocha on my morning walk to the park.
Had the most delicious lunch here today! We had the salmon Benedict, eggplant on toast, raspberry tart, lamington, latte and turmeric latte. Cost ~$60. Have taken off one star as coffee tasted a little burnt. Service was amazing and would definitely return. Thanks!
Very much needed spot in the area. Cozy busy Cafe with of one of a kind pastries. One of the best almond croissant in NZ, yes it costs $8.50 but it is so worth it. Full of frangipane and very filling. Try the other pastries, many one of them are one of a kind.
All Press on the coffee grinder and great attentive staff and DOG Friendly! 🐶

Great to find a place with a kitchen open so early! Polished yet friendly service. Well executed coffee - allpress in a relatively traditional style. The scampi spaghetti and squid salad were amazing and deserved their higher price (in terms of quality not portion size - which is exactly what we're after).
