   Absolutely love this coffee shop — easily my favourite spot in South Auckland. The coffee is consistently excellent, smooth and well-balanced, and you can tell real care goes into every cup. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it a great place to start the day or take a break. The staff are friendly, genuine, and always make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. It’s the kind of place that quickly becomes part of your routine. Great coffee, great vibes. Highly recommended!

   First time visiting this coffee shop and I really loved it! The place is tidy and beautiful, and the food was super tasty. I had the omelette with mushrooms on toast—so good! The service was lovely, and the homemade pies, scones, and muffins were also delicious. Perfect spot for family or friends to hang out. I’ll definitely be back!

   My mum and I and my husband and I have been here. On several occasions but this is the last straw. Order a ham cheese and tomato croissant. A cheese scone and a grey earl tea. The croissant was disgusting. Ham was cold though I asked them to heat it up. It took about 20mins to “toast” and by the time the croissant came. It was hard and unappetising to eat. I only took 2 bites and didn’t finish it. My mum didn’t finish her cheese scone either. Ok. I will not go there again.

   In an area that's very much about fast food, this cafe was a nice find. The service was welcoming and friendly and I quite enjoyed the chicken BLT. The chicken is nicely spiced and theres a decent amount of bacon. The only downside is the mayo. It would have been 5 stars had the mayo not been the sour stuff you get in bulk from wholesalers. A simple egg mayo or garlic aioli would take this to another level.

   It had been far too long since our last visit! The food remains exceptional, and the service is still top-notch. The entire menu is delicious, but the eggs benedict section is bloody good.

   My go-to for coffee at least once a week. Lovely owners, service always consistent with friendly banter, even when things are a bit hectic and busy. Thank you. Your smile goes a long way, and I feel more special when I don't have to ask how I have my coffee. Not that I insist on her remembering lol

   Lovely service. Ordered the ham, cheese and pineapple omelette and it was a large serving. Very yummy! Right outside the doctors clinic too so a great place for lunch.

   Delicious food. Friendly staff and well worth the visit. We had the omelette, corn fritter dish and the most delicious smoothie.

   Had a very yummy and filling breakfast. Been there a few times, but just noticed they’ve updated their menu and so I decided to try it out. Service is great too.
