What a little hidden gem! The food was delicious. The coffee was smooth and the service was homey and friendly. There was also gorgeous gardens you could take a little stroll in. We will definitely be going back there again!
If you want to eat good pasta you do not need to go to an Italian restaurant. Here I was able to eat excellent well cooked ravioli. Lamb shank was soft and full of flavour. They also have a fancy garden. Excellent customer service!
Ordered a big breakfast here yesterday (17/11) and was delicious. Really like the semi-outdoor set-up at this restaurant, the staffs are friendly and no concerns on hygiene. Will recommend this place to others.
Server announced tactlessly in a loud voice about our free dish was the only negative. Apart from that blip, even with a packed main room due to a wedding reception, the service was fast and efficient. Having tried samples from each other's plates the food was well presented, really tasty and delighted all four of us - decent portion sizes too. Despite being near the motorway, the place has some charm with the plus of a very pleasant garden to walk around too in finer weather.
Would recommend- the garden outdoors gave it a nice feel to it and it was nice to walk around. My steak however wasn't medium rare but my sister's was... however overall i would still recommend. Waitress was nice.
Have been here a few times for lunch and the last visit was for breakfast. Being coeliac I am always looking for reliable places to eat, Brigham has never disappointed. Consistently good food with friendly and knowledgeable service. Worth the visit. Lovely grounds worth a stroll on a good day.
nice food, Good scenery. Everything was good.
Good people, I'll be back next time.
we was ate egg benedict, steak, beefburger, fish and chips.
There is a large outdoor area with tables and a garden. The big breakfast and creamy mushrooms was absolutely delicious and generous portions.
We celebrated this year's Mother's Day here one day earlier due to other commitments tomorrow. This place has a very nice outdoor gazebo sitting area at the back surrounded by a large well-kept garden. We were served by a very friendly waitress who went the extra mile to make sure we feel comfortable as we had an elderly with us. We ordered a lot of food including Fish and chips, Tandoori chicken salad, Pulled pork and chick pea salad, Creamy seafood chowder, Pumpkin soup of the day, Bread and dips, Lemon citrus tart and Chocolate trilogy. All our meals were very yummy, well cooked and nicely presented. There are also a lot of parking space in the front so you don't have to worry about parking. All in all we had a great family time here, and the Zamato Gold discount was icing on the cake :-)

Well cooked and good portioned breakfast. Can't be a big breakfast if it's not big! I had the vege really and husband the meat eaters both enjoyed and left full and satisfied :)
The gardens were beautiful. I had the vege brekkie and my husband had the big brekkie. Both were yum and really filling. Will be back again.
This was our first Zomato gold experience. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We both had the French toast which was full of flavour. After lunch we took a stroll around the grounds... lovely way to finish lunch
A must have place for breakfast , brunch and lunch. Best in auckland that i have been to so far. Awesome ambience ,food and value for money.
Lovely place & setting for brunch outside under the Marquee. Great service, nice food & coffee. My friend from overseas chose the Salmon Eggs Benedict & I had Eggs On Toast with Haloumi on the side - both were delicious & filling. Will visit again for sure.
Beautiful setting, amazing food i had the smoked fish pie my partner had the seafood taster was delightful fulling exquisite.will definitely be returning
Beautiful venue with outdoor seats overlooking the gardens. A warm welcome from super friendly wait staff. The food was cooked to perfection and the cabbage colcannon with my pork was so yummy I could have eaten a plate of this by itself! My daughter had the open steak sandwich and couldn't quite finish it. Both meals were presented nicely with top quality food. I would have rated a 5 for this experience except for the coffees which were really quite weak. Rather than a double shot, perhaps the restaurant could try a more robust brand of coffee beans -just a suggestion?
The absolute best service in the world! There is a lovely girl with red hair who is particularly amazing! She is kind and accommodating and always says hi to my nana, who is a regular. I love the personability of the staff here, they are so friendly and easy going, always willing to help with anything you need.
The food is OUTSTANDING. I've had several different meals here and every time, the plates are licked clean (when I'm able to finish it!). Incredible food, incredible service, and the most beautiful seating layout and gardens. Keep doing what you do Brigham ❤️
Amazing service and food! 10/10 for sure! Definitely going back soon, also lovely location and garden. Had a wonderful time, the chefs made everything perfectly to our taste buds
Went for breakfast AGAIN with the family, and once again fantastic food and service. We were warmly greeted by Amanda (a definite asset to the company)remembered which drinks we have, we are known as the "takeaway drinks people" Between the 7 of us we chose eggs Benedict with and without bacon,pancakes and the large and small breakfasts. The drinks were English breakfast tea chocolate smoothies, mocha and trim lattes in...
of course, takeaway cups. !! A great time was had by all,helped by being a sunny day and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended
Amazing good great service ☺ will definitely be back . Highly recommended for a casual cafe meal.
Lovely grounds. We had the high tea and loved it.
Great service and yummy food. It is lovely place for lunch. We organised a function there, food was yummy and served on time. Staff was welcoming and nice. We recommend it.
Great food with great services.
We had an open steak sandwich and a fish and chips. Both were great.
We will be definitely visit here again!
This place boosts great garden setting and is perfect for functions. We have attended two functions here recently and both time the food and atmosphere has been splendid.
This place is great loving being able to sit in the garden and have a meal staff are really friendly and beautiful gardens also food was awesome!!
Nice little country type place. Coffee was nice. Very small home made type menu. The food was very homely and basic. Great outside setting, I imagine it's wonderful for weddings. Staff very pleasant and accommodating.
The Brigham cafe & Restaurant is fun ,different and truly excellent food. We had a family birthday celebration at Brigham, we were around 30 people.There's a buffet of salads, cheese,vegetables, etc. to start with and then-when your'e ready for the meat --you flip a round tag green side up and servers start coming to your table with spits of roasted meat . There are many different cuts of beef prepared in various ways, lamb ,pork,poultry and fish.The combination of quantity and festive atmosphere added spark to our function.And before i forget the wine list is exceptional . The one word which i would like to give to Brigham is "PERFECTION".
This really is a special restaurant and i will highly recommend a well deserves visit.
The Ladies Probus Club of Manurewa ventured out West for Christmas Lunch at The Brigham café & Restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised in fact extremely surprised. We arrived and on entering the staff were most welcoming, polite and attentive.Prior to our lunch we meandered outside to the beautiful, well maintained grounds an ideal place for any function. Lunch was ready with a fabulous selection; mussels, ham, chicken, hot vegetables, salad, followed by Christmas pudding, custard and cream and of course strawberry laced Pavlova, lunch was completed with a coffee or a nice glass of vino. Food was plentiful, service was excellent,, and from the comments from our Ladies they were almost impressed.... we look forward to returning to Brigham's sometime in the future = 10/10.
We had a family birthday celebration at Brigham and with hard to please members, big thumbs up all round. Ambience was lovely, staff friendly, professional and attentive, food superb and decent portion sizes. Have to try their mulled wine! The scallops wrapped in bacon were perfectly cooked, fish of day with wasabi mash and cucumber - yum. So good was our experience that we booked a group in for Christmas lunch. Their prices were excellent and generous menu. They even kindly surprised birthday girl with a complimentary dessert and candle. Little gem. Highly recommend.
I have been here on their rare Friday evening dinners and the food is perfect. They are always so busy on the weekends that I haven't managed to get in and it just goes to show how popular they are. We had our client Christmas Party there for the first time last year and I have never organised an event that went so smoothly. Raewyn took all of the pressure off me and organised everything. Joe is barman of the year and everything was handled so incredibly professionally. I will be back.
Great food, fantastic service, and the owners are awesome! They always try to get around every table for a friendly chat regardless of how busy they are. The Brigham is fantastic for families too as there is plenty of land for the kids to run around and the young kids are offered a colouring in book to keep the occupied. Highly recommended!
Five of my friends and I went to the Brigham late January to celebrate two of the group's birthday. We found the staff very friendly and made us feel welcome. All the food we had was excellent and well presented.
We enjoyed it so much that I took a friend there for lunch a week later and again experienced great service. My friend is gluten and dairy intolerant and the owner went out of her way to ensure that my friend could have the excellent lambs fry & bacon! Well done The Brigham. I will be back.
Our family have been regulars at The Brigham for as long as its doors have been open. We have eaten off the brunch/lunch menu, dinner menu and have even booked the entire venue for a large family function. I think this qualifies me to unequivocally say that on EVERY occasion the service and meal have been faultless!
Our young daughters always look forward to and appreciate the colouring in pages provided and exploring the gorgeous sprawling gardens. Feeding our fussy five year old is a breeze with the lunch box option on the menu and the entree sized 'grown up' meals are the perfect choice for our wallet and the more adventurous eleven year old foodie!!
We will definitely be back soon for a guaranteed great time. Thank you to the team at The Brigham!
I discovered this place a month ago and am now a regular. The food is always tasty and well presented and the staff are always friendly and attentive. My cousin thought the caesar salad was the best she's had and mum is a big fan of their lamb's fry. The coffee is very good and the desserts are delicious also.
I highly recommend this cafe, I have only been there for brunch but understand it is also used as a wedding and function venue.
The gardens are lovely so can imagine a picturesque wedding being held here.
The hosts made us welcome from the start and had no issue with changing several items on the set menu for us. We all ordered a big breakfast, this lived up to its name with generous servings. Perfectly cooked and all five meals arriving at the same time on nice warm plates.
In Summary The Brigham Cafe is well worth a visit, friendly staff, excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch menu, lovely garden setting.
And best of all the prices were very reasonable.
I first went to the brigham cafe about 18 months ago for breakfast. I was extremely impressed by the breakfast/lunch menu's on offer.
There was about 8 of us there for a late brunch and the food was superb!
Since then i have been many many times to eat here and every single time i have been impressed. Every item on the menu is well presented and definately not a shortage of size!
The staff are amazing and always so helpful with any request.
Have been now coming here for 18 months and trying different places in between, but always coming back to the brigham.
I would HIGHLY recommend this place to dine out for breakfast/lunch and also dinner!
I would say the best cafe I have been to in auckland!
I was there on Wednesday afternoon, for a pre booked buffet meal, with 30 others!
It was the best buffet I have ever had I think. The food was superb, attractively presented, and there was enough for everyone.
It was cold outside but nevertheless the place was warm, and very welcoming with an open fire blazing.
Good quality wine was available at the reasonable price of $6.50 a glass.
The staff were all ways on hand, and service attentive.
Can highly recommend the Brigham. We will be back to sample the evening menu.
Great location 20second from motorway. Excellent food
Nature atomospher great group meeting or lunch.
Weekend conference
Good food! Reasonable pricing. Very welcoming and accommodating staff. Superb ambiance.
Went here for a wedding on Saturday, thoroughly enjoyed myself,great people and services,Raj the owner was a great host and the staff were just the best.Especially the food server, the young gentleman was a pleasure and so polite 🙏. The outside was a lovely scene heaps of room beautiful scenery and different areas🩵 there are a couple of things needing to be done, the concrete mushrooms while lovely 1was broken and needs replacing, the other thing was the toilet a privacy screen so you don't see the toilet from the front. Otherwise would recommend Brigham Restaurant and will definitely be back 💜🙏 Thank you Team from Brigham Restaurant 👍
We had a beautiful company’s Christmas event at The Brigham! Garden is gorgeous, food great and staff incredibly amazing. I had an issue with my car at the end of the party and the staff dropped what they were doing to help me straight away.
I couldn’t recommend this place more ! 🙏
Had a wonderful high tea for my auntys 69th birthday. Staff were lovely and so friendly.
The Brigham is a hidden gem with beautiful gardens to add to the vista of our function.
Thank you Raj and Amanda for having us at your lovely Venue and I just want to say your staff were very accommodating and very friendly and the service was 100%.
Family enjoyed the venue with positive feedback and how everything flowed on the day from the start to the end. Thank you for working with me to make this day memorable.
Highly recommend to anyone who want to have a private function. Food on point and delicious also another perk was also bringing in food with no extra cost.
We celebrated this year's Mother's Day here one day earlier due to other commitments tomorrow.

All in all we had a great family time here - hope to come back here one day :-)
Loved this restaurant!! The food was fresh and tasty. Relaxed atmosphere, the sound of the river while you dine alfresco, lovely.
Amazing food, very big portions, excellent service. Since then, I have been there twice with my team for a quick bite and coffee... 10 minutes from Henderson. Very nice covered outdoor...thanks Brigham team for maintaining the quality and quantity in these times when everything is becoming expensive.
Nice private garden, food was good & lovely staff, happily go back again. Good sized group tables. Easy parking for those who can't walk far.
My wife and I celebrated her 70th birthday with lunch. Superbly cooked steak for her and delicious pork belly for me. Friendly, quality service and good pricing. We will definitely go back!
Had my mothers 80th birthday here in the outdoor area and the venue is beautiful gardens are so lovely. Buffet food was delicious and loved that we could even bring our own food in with no hassle and at no extra cost. Everything was set up how I wanted. Would recommend this venue to anyone. Thanks to Raj and Amanda for working with me on the day to make everything run smoothly.
Nice Cafe with great outdoor seatings and a large garden. Kids friendly. Great food and coffee. Friendly staff.
First time I have ever been there. We went there for a family lunch, great service, great food and great atmosphere!
I strongly recommend it.
If you are in the area it worth it absolutely to stop there and hung out in this beautiful venue-restaurant... we came after a wedding and this place is my favorite in Hobsonville... great place and a stunning garden as you can see from the photos I took... food was splendid, the service was amazing and we totally enjoyed our time there... such a beautiful garden with gazebos and so much green surrounded... perfect run away for the weekends and especially family meetings... I loved this place... clean atmosphere also, they keep it tidy and fresh... definitely I am coming back soon...
Food, service & the gardens are Beautiful, yet the ambiance was destroyed by the noise & gas smell of a gardener trimming a hedge next to the balcony where I had enjoyed my breakfast. Sadly I left instead of relaxing with my book.
This is a picturesque function venue on top being a restaurant/cafe. It has really beautiful grounds in the back. The breakfast food is tasty and quite large portions. Their good coffee compliments the meals.
I got married here and it couldn't have gone better. Raj and the team were very professional and easy to deal with. I planned everything from another country and I communicated mainly by email - all responses were quick and easy to understand. I definitely would recommend this place. They food was delicious, the grounds looked stunning and even while it rained the whole day, nobody got drenched - there was plenty of cover. Thank you to all the team. My wedding was perfect!
