   I visited the cafe for lunch on a Friday. I and the partner are trying to sample the local fare around Blockhouse Bay, having moved here recently, and the Icoco Cafe was on our list. The small cafe had a smattering of customers at noon when we visited. My partner ordered the BLAT with a side of fries, while I opted for the Turkish sandwich with bacon. When the food arrived, we quickly noticed that the two dishes were nearly identical. The only difference we could see immediately was the addition of avocado in the BLAT. Swap out the mesclun salad for lettuce, minus the avocado and add two thin slices of tomato, and you’d have the Turkish sandwich. While this wasn’t a dealbreaker, the quality of the food left much to be desired. For starters, my Turkish sandwich came on cold, untoasted focaccia. In fact, everything on my plate was cold. The roasted veggies were essentially just kumara—no seasoning or variety to speak of. The bacon was chewy, as if it had been cooked hours earlier, and lacked freshness. A smear of relish and aioli hardly made up for the dryness, leaving me with a rather unappetising experience. Between the cold bread and rubbery bacon, it felt like a dish thrown together by someone who wasn’t particularly invested in its preparation. While the cafe's prices are slightly more affordable than some competitors in the area, the overall quality of the food doesn’t justify that small saving. Given the abundance of cafes in Auckland—and even within Blockhouse Bay—serving higher-quality meals for just a few dollars more, I don’t see myself returning anytime soon.

   Really nice little owl themed cafe tucked away in Blockhouse Bay. The prices were really reasonable, the food tasty, and the coffee hot! I got the B.L.A.T and the bread was lovely and fresh and a great portion size for the price. You can add an side of fries for $1.50 which I did. The homemade Aioli was really tasty too. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we will most likely come again if we are in the area!

   An okay cafe. The Caramel latte was a bit artificial tasting. The toasted sandwich would’ve been so good if the cheese wasn’t so intense. It took away from the egg and bacon flavor. They have a loyalty card which is nice and decent prices.

   Good little cafe we visit often. Perfect has browns. Eggs Benedict always on point. Creamy mushroom room with smooth coffee is the goto as well.

   I came here during the week for breakfast when it just opened around 7.30am with my friend. We were only ones eating. The owner was super busy making take away coffees for customers. Did take a while for us to get our order in. I got the eggs bennedict with mushrooms & avocado, and latte. Food tasted good. Owner is huge fan of Owls, was lot of owl ornaments on display.
