Nice cafe clean & friendly. We on the way to airport just wanna grab our breakfast recommended by ChatGPT like the blue cheese scone yummy.
Got the eggs benny with bacon. Pretty good! Half was English muffin, the other half some sort of potato cake. Coffee was also good as well. Tad cold inside and the chairs are uncomfortable, but still a good meal!
The pork belly burger is tender and juicy, with just the right amount of spice to balance the flavors. The chicken burgers are also quite good, and the roasted vegetables are delicious. Personally, coffee isn't my favorite as I find it a bit bitter, but hot chocolate is another great option.
Wow, what a lovely little spot. A little bit congested inside preparing to order but a local told us the wait was worth it and boy was she right. Sitting outside in the sun was already lovely and then the food arrived. First up, coffees and a banana smoothie. Scrumptious. Then, the food. A pork belly burger with the most delicious melty meat, chips and aioli, very generously portioned !! The winner overall though… the chicken bruschetta ! Wowie! What a meal, superb. Quick service, lovely food, good environment, RECOMMEND!!
The big breakfast here was one of the best I’ve had in quite some time. Every element on the plate was well-prepared and flavorful—from the generous serving of streaky bacon and creamy mushrooms to the perfectly toasted bread, fresh avocado, and my personal highlight, the scrambled eggs. Everything was cooked to a high standard. I also ordered a side of hollandaise sauce, which was excellent—rich and well-balanced—so I have no doubt their eggs Benedict would be equally impressive. If I were to offer one piece of constructive feedback, it would be regarding the iced chocolate. The presentation and texture felt a bit unrefined; it consisted of a drizzle of chocolate syrup at the bottom of the glass, mixed with cold milk and topped with a scoop of ice cream. Blending these elements together would likely create a smoother, more cohesive drink, rather than a mix of chocolate milk with ice cream and a bit of ice. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed dining here during our trip back to Auckland. It’s definitely a spot I would return to next time I’m in Cambridge.
I don’t often write reviews like this but unfortunately we did not have a good experience and will definitely not be back. I work in hospitality so I know how hard it can be but… The guy serving was extremely rude and short with me. There are no kid’s options and when I asked if I could do a half portion for a child I was told that they were unable to do so, while ordering my food I removed 2 things from my meal and asked if I could replace them with an option I was able to have and I was told that was fine but it would be and extra $16 dollars, $8 each, making a very basic meal go from roughly $25 dollar meal almost $40. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy to pay decent money for a good meal and for extras when need be but this was ridiculous.
Visiting the area and attracted by the busy atmosphere and lots of customers. Left wondering why? Very very expensive, small portions, cold coffee and the "melted swiss cheese" on the creamy mushroom bagel could have been better used as roofing material! Service was good for the food but we had finished what was edible by the time the coffee arrived! Probably explains the temperature! The locals must love it, otherwise it would be out of business. Don't normally leave negative reviews but over $50 for this experience was unacceptable.
Absolutely lovely brunch had here. Such friendly staff and wonderful food.
Had a lovely breakfast, I took the different but equally enjoyable eggs Benedict with pork belly. The smoothies were good and well presented. The outdoor seating was a real plus and made the place. The coffee was just average and the difference between a four and five star. Three breakfasts, three coffees and a smoothie $98, so up there.
