First time there today, what a gem that's a 5min walk from my home. Tasty food - traditional stack was amazing, great coffee with friendly customer service with a smile. Will definitely be back to try the very appetising looking counter food. Nice atmosphere inside with something for everyone.
Great coffeee and amazing toasted sweet muffins.
Nice coffee and food. Great service at this cafe. A great place to meet. Prices are reasonable and consistent with other cafes in the area.
Stopping here on a whim for coffee turned out to be a good choice. There's not only the counter options but a menu with some deliciously sounding choices. I settled on a piece of the fruit crumble cake which was nice and moist.
The staff seemed to have a good relationship with some of the other customers who came in at the same time. The seating is made up of couches as well as tables and chairs which is good depending on your reason for being there.
came for the cyclist stack.. loved it. food was fantastic, wait time was great for the dish and quality, service was good, surroundings are a bit cheapish but I didn't care considering the location and the food was impressive
We've been here a few times for coffee and a scone. Each time the service is prompt, efficient, and very friendly. The coffee is excellent, and the cheese scones may just be the best I have ever had.
Been back a few times, and last Sunday thought we might try the brunch. Excellent poached eggs, tasty spicy pork sausage, and crispy rosti with avocado. Once again friendly service and great coffee.
Best savory muffins I've ever had! Other food is pretty good too. So glad you moved here Salvation!
Time to update the address for Salvation, menumania. They relocated to Adelaide Road a while back. Many more tables than in Hataitai, although the new area and building lacks the character of the old. But that's about the only negative. The same great coffee, faultless friendly service and nice food, all in an environment where it is easy to talk or read the paper in comfort. Well done.
Funny thing is, they are not allowed to take there aprons off. It really is quite sweet watching them attentively run through the door as a customer comes in.
This is a nice little place, it was a little cramped where I was sitting, but a good perch to watch the world (what world there is in Hataitai on a weekday...)go by.
The coffee - Gibston the very small roastery on The Terrace, just near the Treasury - was lovely, and well made. The staff were very attentive, the savoury scone was beautiful - my only complaint would be the staff sitting at the front together smoking, still wearing their aprons - Very unprofessional!
I will give it another go next time I am in the area.
Properly made cheesecake. (Photos were taken a bit late - its only half of cake)
Had a lovely meal of corn fritters and salad highly recommend. Excellent coffee too thanks Salvation Cafe
Great staff who should be justifiably proud of their food and drinks. Came for a quick bite and ended up with the most satisfying bacon sandwich, New York style. Bacon so crispy it crackled and fresh crusty bread, with all the usual suspects!
Next time I am going to try the pulled pork or brisket sandwich.
Lovely staff and very cosy cafe.!
Ordered the traditional stack and belgian style waffes via delivery service. Waffles were a delicious sweet treat, the berry compote it comes with is amazing. The stack though was the absolute perfect brunch meal: crispy rosti and bacon, creamy avocado and hollandaise. Will 100% be back to visit in person.
A little hidden gem in Newtown. Fantastic food and fabulous coffee. The service was welcoming and genuine. Thanks Simon for a wonderful job with our food and your lovely manner. This will be a regular for me now on my many trips to Newtown
Delicious! Had the spicy pork pie, with a tomato relish. The filling was great and the crust was very tasty, the relish is to die for!
We decided to stop for lunch, having not been to Salvation for quite some time. While the lunch was reasonably quick to come and in line with expectation, the drinks order was unsatisfactory. Our iced coffee and tea should have been quick and arrive at the same time, but my partner had eventually assumed that I forgot to order her drink. My guess is that the person taking the order and making drinks just lacked experience and could stand a training session.
Delivers a caffeine fix when you need it.
I grabbed a tray if flat whites here for a work meeting. They were good NZ standard coffee - appreciated by all.
Meeting was not as good as the coffee
Just ordered Uber eats from here and left a cheeky note asking for extra gravy on my food. When it arrived I got my extra gravy and a cute little note with a cat drawing that made my day. Also the gravy was so good so definitely get bangers and mash :) thanks guys for your awesome service :)
Excellent place to sit and have a coffee with your cycle. Good coffee and waffle. Could park the cycle in a close visible location. Would help if there is a lock to secure cycle to a wall/pole.
Great coffee and gorgeous food. Owner operated with really brilliant staff. Ask if you want something tweaked, they're always happy to help.
beautiful food, beautiful atmosphere, lovely food and amazing coffee. the people were so nice, this was a lovely experience :) definitely coming back!
Staff were friendly and helpful. I got a nice big breakfast here at an affordable price. It can be easily missed when driving by but it is definitely worth stopping for.
