   Posting on behalf mum and dad went in to get a cup of tea and a sausage roll and cake and they had no English breakfast tea. Just green tea and earl gray. So they said not worry and went elsewhere. Really no English tea? Maybe you have to bring your own.

   This is not a bad place for a bite to eat or a nice hot coffee, but in the past I have had issues with the staff. There’s a slight atmosphere of frustration/discomfort, which I think is natural given that most customers are loved ones of someone in hospital or the staff that are taking care of them. The food has always been fresh, something I appreciate. I know that some modern folk like to scan and order but I’ve found for the whiteboard and wall menu, prices have been unclear in the past. I have passed on feedback before on staff as I am a member and it seems to have been taken on board but I always feel like I have to be extra nice. Overall, 4/5, definitely a good spot near the hospital, and much more comfy than some, with very generous seating. I’d just like to see some clearer pricing and that the staff are happy to be there.

   Just another cafe. They engage in food deception with baps that look full but are in reality mostly empty. $11.50 for a couple of shabby strips of bacon and a poached egg on low quality bread? I was right to not go there for years and I won't be back. The photo looks better than it should.

   This used to be a nice cafe about 6 years ago. Every time I come here it gets worse. Ordered a chocolate milkshake and got ice blended with some drinking chocolate - that’s not a milkshake. My husbands sausage roll was gross with raw pastry and dry wilted lettuce leaves thrown on the side. Everything in the cabinet looks stale. They are cheap out on quality, captive market here with the hospital and yet it’s empty inside. Everyone has given up.

   After two weeks of eating the bland lacklustre food at the cafes in the Hospital I ventured out with a very low bar but the food was fantastic. It was flavoursome and the menu whilst small offered a variety of options. The cabinet food looked amazing. The cafe is worth the extra few steps out the front door. I regret not discovering it sooner!

   For anyone who does not want to get a coffee with any of the coffee places within the hospital and anyone wanting something more substantial for breakfast, people come to Columbus Coffee which is conveniently situated outside the hospital. It's a good place to work on laptops, considering the multitude of power ports scattered throughout the café and it is mainly an issue of finding a convenient spot and connecting to WiFi. That said, it isn't free and tends to be a tad slow so hotspotting it would usually be a better idea. A bonus for any Auckland DHB staff - proof of staff ID will give you a bonus discount, whether it is food or coffee related. I did not order breakfast the day the pictures were taken but I would normally go for the big breakfast - hearty but eggs have a tendency to be overdone (especially when ordered scrambled.) Sunny side up or over easy is probably the easier way to go.
