Lovely place for brunch. Staff friendly and service great. My grandaughter has the pancakes and I had bacon, poached eggs and mushrooms. Both meals great. Would recommend.
Best coffee in Auckland, hands down! Food is also great value for money. I come here as often as I can with my partner - it’s our “go-to” brunch spot in the area.
Lady at counter always friendly, favourite place to come to for breakfast after trainings, coffee 10/10 & overall great little cafe. Will definitely be back 💛
Such an awesome experience. Amazing Granola . Amazing food amazing service !!!! Paleo breakfast was amazing and the pancakes are delicious and to finish it all off with mixed berry muffins!!! Thank you Steely Blue!!!!
Thank you for having a gluten free option with the bread! All I wanted was scrambled eggs and toast. Was perfect. Other meals looked great. Makes going out with friends easier and was a great meal and well presented too. Had a great time.
Nice place to visit the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Tried the chicken burger and it was absolutely delicious, it was flavorful and yummy yet wasn't too overbearing as there was a good amount of salad in the burger too
Lovely little cafe with great, simple food at awesome prices. The slices in the cabinet are enormous and so yummy. It's going to be our new favourite place to eat.
One of the best café's ever! Sweet and amazing staff, and all their food and drinks are super nice. It's a cute little place!! The mashed avocado special was so good and very great for the price too
One of the good cafes in South Auckland. Coffee is very nice , muffins are delicious and fresh. Nice breakfast with affordable price.
Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.
Haven’t been here for a long time but popped in for breakfast very busy but served quickly and staff very friendly
Great food and will definitely be back
The hash brown stack was great
Really affordable breakfast served here. My go to breakfast and coffee place when I have a day off and I dont want to travel far. Outdoor area nice. Inside nothing fancy. But come here for the food and you wont be disappointed. Simple food done well at affordable prices.
My daughter and I went for lunch yesterday. I had their special of the day a hash brown stack. So well presented and cooked perfectly. Bacon was generous. And the chocolate lattice on top of the iced mocha was very special.
I'm so glad this place changed hands, it used to be one of our favourite haunts and it is once again! The chef is lovely and really cares about the standard of his food as he comes out and asks how we find everything quite regularly. He is always looking for ways to improve his dishes which is awesome. The food is flavourful, well presented and well portioned. To top it all off the coffee is nice and strong, the only reason I didn't give it a 5 is the decor needs a bit of seeing to, from the road especially it does not look so appealing, BUT it is clean and bright and all the staff are lovely!
Came at peak brunch time on Sunday but was seated promptly and my order was taken about 10 mins. Great coffee and delicious egg bene with home made hash brown and hollandaise sauce, friendly staff. Definitely will come back.
Had heard lots about the steely blue cafe so decided to give them a try. an inventive menu and delicious execution makes steely blue cafe a winner. The staff here are very friendly, welcome everyone as they walk in pointing out where the menus are and the cabinet food.
The food is amazing, I had the egg benedict sooo good, with homemade hollandaise sauce, not much around the takanini homemade the sauce.it was divine, and coffee nice and hot. would definitely come back to try more of their delicious food!
Food came fast and hot. Staff friendly and sweet. Had no problems. Would definitely go back and bring my friends and family with me 😊 didn’t buy coffee or made drinks just bottles of water and a fizzy both cold and refreshing also. Under new management and haven’t been there before but was great!
Had a triple decker toastie and a chocolate milkshake. It was absolutely divine! Will definitely be back again to try that caramel slice that doesnt have coconut in it(i hate coconut)
Always a great, great coffee. Staff are happy, friendly and helpful. Delicious food and great service. I always pop in here when doing the shopping
Really lovely staff and nice coffee... great little local spot that is also doggie friendly. Would recommend if looking for a casual friendly cafe!
I had the Italian toast with peaches and cream. There was a generous amount of maple syrup in a separate jug which was great. My coffee was just right as was the English breakfast tea. Nice surroundings and lovely pleasant service. Have been before, will go again
Not a bad feed had the big breakfast only downfall was the lack of bacon but good coffee and service. I'll come back ..

We met for staff lunch this morning and I must say its quite an experience! The food at Steely Blue appears not only appealing, but the flavours have remarkable depth. The shop is both clean and tidy. I guess the new look (walls being painted) is quite attractive. All the staff members there greeted my colleagues and me with a smile. I would recommend Steely Blue to anyone who craves for healthy and yummy food. Surely we will be returning soon!

I eat at Steely Blue every Sunday and I have never been disappointed! The food is always great, service is great and the food is at your table within 10 minutes of ordering. My favorite cafe in Auckland!
This is the first time I have been to this cafe. I wasn't expecting it to be so good, but it was!! The food was excellent, and the service was warm and friendly - the staff were always smiling and very helpful. I ordered the scallops and bacon from the Chef's Specials menu, and it was the best one I've ever had. The mocha that I ordered was just right, and so I ordered another one. I recommend this cafe to anyone in search for a decent cafe in the Takanini/Papakura area.
This is by far my most favourite cafe, the staff greet me by my name and I can ring and order my coffee which I do most days! The savoury muffins are yum. The staff are always smiling and great with the children, keep up the great work.
This is the fourth time I have come to the cafe. I have just moved into the Papakura area recently and have found this is my best local cafe. The cabinet food looks fresh and mouth-watering. The meals are to die for!!! They are well-worth the price as the portions are very generous! The coffee is delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Even on Mother's Day, when I first went in, the cafe was full however, they managed to welcome and serve each customer in a friendly and efficient manner. I recommend this cafe to anyone who loves to have the freshly made food at a reasonable price with great service and coffee. Thanks for a great experience!
Been here quite a few times over the last couple of years. Last time was for brunch on Mother's Day this year and they were full! Food unusually took a little longer and probably not up to its normal standard but...they were full. Apologies given by the waitress about the delay. I note that steve has since eaten at a restaurant with only a B rating for food hygiene and it was the first thing he noticed??? Steely Blue now has an A rating and so it should be.
Steely Blue catered an all day conference for us - morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Delicious food including great gluten free items for those who required them. Delivered on time and attractively presented.
I too have been a loyal customer for over 5 years, and this cafe has always been fantastic! Their coffee is outstanding, the food is fresh, and the service is great. It's true, there was never a BLAT on the menu! Also, they have indeed never advertised as having gluten free food. Stelly Blue is tops!
my mother in law had a champagne breakfast for her hens party and at 9.30am, with 10 quite drunk woman to deal with, the staff were fantastic.
The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The food was very good and arrived at the same time, which is a feat because the order was changed about three times.
It was very clean and trendy but not showy.
We had an excellent time
I'm a loyal customer to Steely Blue, and now O.R.C cafe for the last 6 years. My typical double shot capp/choc complete with 2 sugars is a highlight to my week, and the fact that all the front girl staff start preparing it as soon as I walk in the door, makes it all the more enjoyable. Needless to say, the home baking, great customer service, and exceptional food make for a great cafe experience, one of which I'm always quick to tell people about. As for grumbled customers 1 & 2 (*cough* Helen and Robyn), Blats are not on the menu, and *Gluton Free* advertising never existed, but what a good ploy to make your weak tale all the more dramatic.
Was in need of a big breakfast as it was brunch time for me. The service was impeccable, the food not only was appealing but delicious and the portion was great. Definitely a treat, highly recommended for delicious food and atmosphere. Thank you, love the environment use provide.
Some of the best eggs bene and coffee I’ve ever had! I’m so glad I decided to try this place, I wouldn’t call it cozy and honestly based on the location and appearance from the outside I wasn’t inclined to go in.. however the food and coffee make up for it.
Eggs bene w/bacon and English muffins were amazing!! I love that it came with spinach. My mocha was so good I’m still thinking about it, I wish it came with marshmallows though instead of a biscuit! My partner ordered the big breakfast and he liked it too.
Love this spot! Both the food and coffee are top notch, you always get great service, and everything’s really reasonably priced. It also has a fantastic outdoor space for when you catch it on a nice day. Enjoy!

I found this place through Uber eats during lockdown and we loved it. So we decided to dine in this week. The portion sizes right down to the flavor, was great. Customer service was awesome too. Chill atmosphere, I had the big breakfast and pancake stack 🤤. Partner had hashbrown stack and pancake stack. They kiddie chairs too for baby which was a plus. Would definitely recommend 👌.
This cafe is always a delight to visit. The staff are friendly and the menu offers enough variety to always try something different without being overwhelming.
They have designed their takeaway service with quality and care in mind. Food was stored in a way that preserved the freshness. Loved my meal and will definitely return.
Great food, had the Big Breakfast - It was really yummy. Their sourdough is great.
Great Coffee! Amazing Food!
Cafe interior is alright, could be more comfy, however their food and coffee were superb and tasty. I would come again
Love this place. Great food, great service. Friendly staff. Recommend it!!
Amazing café. Great food and always delicious. Has become my weekly Sunday brunch destination. Highly recommend the place
Great place for french tosst with bacon. Hearty amount of food for $20.
Pancakes weren't that good.
Thickshake was ok.
Great service though.
A very kiwiana vibe, great food, nice coffee and good service. Reasonable prices as well. Food was presented very nicely with an almost gourmet feel.
Have not eaten here for a couple years, they still have the best coffee in town and make an awesome kai....
nice food..nice staff..as a old fella..I feel that the windows and glass cabinets need that little extra sparkle..it would make it a better atmosphere..maybe a new panel under the display cabinet....
It was nice and lovely 😍 went for the first time. Enjoy our breakfast 😋
I've been a few times now and i love the vide of the place!! staff are always friendly and great with kids. FOOD is awesome!! good prices for the amount you get. I use to make coffee for a living and i must say that they do an amazing job when it comes to a well balance coffee. micro foam is perfect and the latte art is delightful.
