#Cafe# Thanks to TGTG, it was my first time visiting here — so amazing! I got a large surprise bag and really liked the cauliflower salad and chocolate cake. I’ll definitely come back again!
Tried the Salmon with Beetroot salad, it was mind-blowing delicious. The Aubergine Mushroom Feta dish was excellent too. Coffee could be better but hey the food was so good that this is me being extremely picky. 100% recommend
Got a vegan chocolate plum cake. Highly recommend. It was so good with perfect sweetness. Doesn't taste vegan at all. Amazing quality for the price!
Catroux has a decent selection available from their menu or their cabinet. Service was pretty good considering how busy it was when we arrived. We ordered their smoked salmon bagel and their mince and cheese pie (from the cabinet) for a quick bite in the morning. We also got some mochas (we also wanted a vanilla latte, but they didn’t have syrups, which surprised us), but the mochas were good. The pie had a great crust. The mince had more of a Mexican-style flavour, which wasn’t quite what I expected, as I was hoping for a more traditional gravy style, but it was still enjoyable. The smoked salmon bagel had nice ingredients that I think complemented each other nicely. The salmon stood out as the clear leader, but not overpowering, as it can often be.
I had the Fitness Bowl ($28) and Tumeric Glow smoothie ($12.50). Was it worth it for a $40 meal? No. Firstly, it took forever to order, it is a busy place but the service was good. My Fitness Bowl was missing the tahini yoghurt, which was needed to bring the whole meal together and poached egg was over-cooked. It was a hard boil egg, so the meal was very dry….and there was no seasoning. Add the chewy dry halumi….the Fitness bowl was a disappointment. The Tumeric Glow smoothie was a yellow coconut, banana milkshake. It was thin and I could not taste the mango and passionfruit …which was the main reason why I ordered it. I feel that due to the place being so busy, there was a lack of attention to what was being prepared, put together and served. The only thing that had to be cooked was the poached egg…which was an utter fail.
We grabbed a cake here for a birthday. It was the coffe and pecan praline and it did taste nice. You could taste the coffee, chocolate and the pecan. it did look different to what was on the site but that could have been due to the writing on the cake.
Nice coffee～ The shape of the cake is beautiful.
My go-to place for birthday cake! Everybody loves it.
The best cakes in town. We ordered carrot cake and it was amazing. Soft, fluffy with just right amount of icing. Had carrot cakes in top restaurants in Auckland but this one beats all of them. Highly recommend.
Came to westmere off my normal track and had lunch here. At Catroux. Very enjoyable sandwiches and shared a lemon pistachio treat. I found the coffee excellent which with all press I am not normally so effusive. Well worth the trip. Staff pleasant and place clean. Cost $$
