   A true hidden gem near the airport - gorgeous space, super friendly staff, and the food… actually incredible. Everything we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous too. 100% worth the visit. We had: Seafood linguine, Kawau breakfast, Dubai choc pancake, Fried chicken taco and Pistachio scroll.

   It was an unpleasant experience. Today we ordered three meals, and for one of them we specifically asked for no onions. I wonder if the chef thinks pickled onion is not considered onion. In addition, the chicken quiche contained a hard, sharp bone, which could have been very dangerous if a child had eaten it. We were planning to finish our meal quickly to catch a flight, and since there weren’t many customers waiting ahead of us, we ended up waiting for almost half an hour and had no choice but to take it away. When leaving, I complained to the first male server about how slow the chef was, but his response was that he didn’t care. At checkout, I once again complained about the slow service and the bone in the quiche, and the cashier waived the charge for the quiche. The coffee was very good, but the dining environment was not as good as before. For example, the tables were uneven. I don’t mind if someone folds a newspaper a few times to level the table, but laying an entire newspaper flat under a table leg is neither useful nor tidy. I don’t know what has happened to this restaurant, but it is no longer the excellent one it used to be. I don’t think I will come back again.

   the food was so yummy!!! The Turkish eggs were so hearty and delicious, and the Dubai pancakes were surprisingly not too sweet! the only thing was the seating was quite closely paired and the outdoor seating lacked cover/were wobbly - but the food and service made up for it! It’s a bustling cafe, so we were grateful to be seated anyway :)

   Such a nice and modern dining space. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and taken to a table. Ordering was prompt and not rushed. My husband has an onion intolerance, and the staff went over and beyond to confirm that onion powder would be okay before bring it out. The coffee was perfect. Will definitely be back when up next.

   Had an absolutely wonderful brunch here before departing to Auckland Airport. We got the Korean fried chicken bowl and the Smashed in Japan, and both were absolutely divine.

   My partner and I visited here for breakfast. One of the best cafe We’ve been to and food was amazing! I loved the Matcha Latte as well. My partner ordered Iced coffee, It was very nice and and he was happy with what he’s got served. However this young gentleman that made the iced coffee came to our table with another one and asked if my partner wanted a stronger one because the one he made wasn’t to his standard. I thought it was so nice of him and loved how he went over and beyond with his service. We will definitely be back when We visit Auckland :)

   Ate here during lunchtime. 3 of us had breakfast and 3 of us had the wagyu burgers. All of it was excellent! Generous portions and all of the food was very fresh. I’m so glad we stumbled upon this place on our way out of Auckland. Would gladly eat here again! Greatest compliment came from my son who said this was the best burger he’s ever eaten.

   Beautifully presented, spacious cafe close to the airport. Smashed avocado dish was absolutely to die for with generous latherings of avocado! All the dishes and drinks I saw being delivered to other tables also looked outstanding. The only downside was that both the street facing entrances were out of order so you had to walk around the corner to enter the cafe & where the bathrooms were located was a guessing game! Would definitely go back if I had a decent domestic layover and wanted to get out of the airport!
