Thankful to find The Annex tucked away upstairs at Whitcoulls on Lambton Quay on a busy Boxing Day. A fairly cosy place to pass away some time while others are seeking out shopping bargains. The food selection was pleasing and since it wasn’t long after breakfast we only got coffees this time. Nicely done, and comfy chairs, and plenty of books to browse through too - 4/5.
A cafe within a book store. Amazing idea, being a fan of coffee and books, this is a best combination for me. Can relax while reading books.
Cafe has great range of vegetarian options, and coffee is made in the perfect way. I would recommend this cafe. Great place for an meet up.
I've been coming to The Annexe for a while, but usually for coffee or cabinet food to take away.
Overall Todays experience was really good, but there was also room for improvement.
The service was for the most part really good, with it not being an issue to tweak a bunch menu item to suit my dietary requirements. ( I ordered a hashstack w/o bacon).
The hash stack was very different from anything I had enjoyed before. At first I was concerned about the balsamic drizzle and the fresh baby spinach and tomato, but I didn't need to be. It was a really nice mix of textures and flavours. My only gripes were that there was just 1 egg, and the hash browns weren't very crispy.
The Annexe always does great coffee so kudos for that.
