Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“We had my son’s 3rd birthday here over the weekend and it was such a great experience. Everything was handled really well and I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. The party host Kaira was so attentive and lovely and made us all feel very welcome. The rooms was decorated nicely , the food was all out very quick and the kids had so much fun! Thanks so much! We will be back for sure :)”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience at Area 51 - Auckland Adventure Park Our recent visit to Area 51 at Auckland Adventure Park was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Check-in was seamless, and the staff efficiently sorted out our wristbands. We appreciated that each type of pass was color-coded, making it easy to differentiate between different activities—such a thoughtful and organized system! The food at the reception was surprisingly good and well-priced. There was a great selection for both adults and kids. We especially loved the kids’ meal options, which came with drinks—perfect for families looking to grab a quick bite before heading off for more adventure. It wasn’t just about convenience; the food was delicious too! From the reception, you can either head down to the lower part of the park, where there’s a fun kids’ playground, or make your way up to the bus stop for the ride up the hill. The Mitsubishi Rosa bus ride was comfortable, offering a scenic route to the upper part of the park. Up there, the real adventure begins—luge rides, the exhilarating zip line, and the thrilling Shooting Star! One thing that stood out to us was the atmosphere. Right outside the reception, there’s a luge car on display along with a price list for each of the activities, which really adds to the excitement and anticipation. Plus, there’s a huge screen showcasing all the activities the park offers. It’s a clever way to get everyone hyped up and makes it easy to plan your day. The park is well-organized, clean, and full of fun activities for everyone. Whether you’re with family or friends, there’s something for every age group. We’ll definitely be returning, and we highly recommend Area 51 at Auckland Adventure Park to anyone looking for a thrilling adventure!”

“Great cafe for coffee. Delicious food and excellent service. Lovely friendly staff. Especially Farrah, Jessie and Andy.”

“Fantastic little gem in hellensville!! They made us a beautiful breakfast of bacon, eggs and fresh avocado with toasted bagels. The coffee was great too and the services was awesome, so friendly and accommodating.”

“Good coffee and good toast with cheese and ham, definitely worth a try”

“Came here yesterday while running some errands early in the morning. I ordered hot chocolate and pancakes and they were so delicious. Good portion size and tasted amazing. The customer service was awesome as well. Definitely liked the quiet atmosphere, they had some gentle music playing so it felt like a relaxing morning. I’ll definitely come here again if I’m in the area”

“I have visited Cafe Anatolia Ta Atatu yesterday and had a Kebab and coffee. Kebab was too yummy. I was really amazed by the service from staff named Maharaj. He was really amicable, proactive and professional. You will never regret after having their food and service. I love to visit them again.”

“Update: its been a couple of yesrs since I first reviewed here. It feels like it maybe has new ownership. The cooked menu is offering all options now. Staff are still friendly, service, cabinet and coffee are good. Under new management since last time I was here. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Staple bakery items are still available but quite a few cooked menu items are no longer available. The coffee is now by Allpress, but the coffee training needs some work as my coffee was poorly extracted, the texture light and watery and the milk texture had too much air.”

“Hospitality is 10/10 cashier always has a smile and a pep in her step with interacting with customers,food is yummy,steak meal is always my go too,some times steak has a weird taste but other times is delicious,.”

“We stop at Marsic’s for fresh fish and sometimes pop in here for some hot treats. Always the same. Spring roll, hot chips and yummy fish bites. Best fish bites in our opinion and cooked in nice clean oil. Thank you :)”

“Wow, the food here was top notch I had the big brekkie (with creamy mushrooms) and my wife had the (half) eggs bene. We absolutely loved them! (PS the photo I took of the big brekkie had one sausage already eaten and half the rosti had been given to my wife, so didn't look as good as it could have).”

“Fast easy ordering Food looked and tasted delicious Burgers huge Love the waffle fries, Playground was perfect for our 4yr old to keep busy for ages.”

“Caesar salad was so fresh and DELICIOUS especially with the option of chicken -much more filling. My partner ordered the BLAT and they catered to his dietary requirements without a fuss. Staff are lovely and the area is vibrant.”

“It wasn't too busy, food was presented well and tasted so good. Coffee was piping hot and delicious. Didn't have fresh fruit juice only bottled juices.”

“Looking for a breakfast place around takapuna after a pedia visit and tried Leaf & Loaf. Overall experience is excellent and lively, friendly staff. My fussy little one loved the blueberry pancakes. The rest of the food are awesome. Though I prefer boiling hot coffee but with the weather, it's acceptable food gets a little cold quicker. Highly recommend this place.”

“These guys do great pies & is a very popular spot with the locals. Their Jalapeno steak & cheese was awesome, just the right amount of kick to it.”

“Great little find. Friendly staff and great food. Loved all the lego models in the Cafe! Kids and adults both.”

“My husband and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary at our local The Block Cafe. We decided to dine alfresco as the weather was beautiful. The staff were friendly, welcoming, helpful and efficient. The food was amazing. I got the Pancakes with berry compote and a generous sized amount of cream. My husband got the big breakfast which had everything from bacon, eggs, hash brown baked beans etc.. The coffee was Devine! Very filling and good value for money. We'll definitely be back again soon.”

“Second time coming to Pakuranga Chipmunks, each time was on my daughter’s birthday. We arrived on a Friday just after 09:30am and although it was a cloudy, wet and cold day…. The moment you enter the store you are welcomed with a ray of fun music and lights, a perfect way to spend your days indoor. My 2 year old enjoyed her time so much we stayed until 1:30pm! There’s a baby area with soft padded floors for your baby to crawl there way around and explore, there’s a 0-5 playground with sensory toys, musical piano, slide, and an upstairs playground with mirror maze, trampoline, walking rope and more slides - adults can fit too, I managed to comfortably explore alongside my 2 year old daughter, very study platforms. At an extra cost there are machine rides too. There’s also a 5-11 years area/playground that looked fun, we did explore the lower levels which had a large ball pit with a huge interactive screen projector where you throw the balls to eliminate the animal. If your child gets a bit bored of this playground there are arcade games along the back end of the store (extra cost) and a mini basketball court too. There are ample seats and tables close by to playgrounds. We ordered food from the cafe, for $39 I got the chicken burger combo & chicken nugget combo. A bit on the expensive side but the chicken burger was delicious (buns were soft and fresh) and they do have good coffee. Toilets were spotless and clean, a separate changing room for babies as well and a cool feature that I noticed was an area tucked around the corner from the cafe (outside of party room areas) was a set of comfy couches which is perfect for our breastfeeding māma’s who needed a comfortable private space to BF baby without the distractions of kids running around. Shoutout to the lovely owners for their awesome customer service, the lovely lady April was so attentive and I wish their business well for the future. Highly reccommend”

“really great shisha, tastes really good and smooth + Açai bowls are soo good! better than juice up”

“Worth a visit, the farm is beautiful and the vast fields of lavenders are well maintained, lush and fragrant. Inside and outdoor playground for toddler aged kids and above. Entire facility is clean and tidy. Maybe the new owners can incorporate a new menu, such as lavender infused desserts/cakes/pastries, a lavender inspired high tea?”

“Would highly highly recommend this amazing place! The food here is just too good for people who love Mediterranean food! We go here for all milestone celebrations and happy moments! Always a feel good place for food! Staff are friendly and very accommodating as well! Be it time with family, friends or a date- suits any occasion literally! I would go here any day!”

“Grade A!! Nice little water front spot and prices have increased from the last time we were there few months ago. Enjoyed our meal and coffee was delicious. Parking: you’ll be lucky to get one close by, took a while to find one and nearly gave up but found one just as we were about to drive off. Ordered Salmon Eggs Benedict $28.50 Bacon Eggs Benedict $27 Ice Coffee Frappe $8 Ice Chocolate Frappe $8 Mochaccino in a bowl $7.50 And soft drinks for $3”

“Highly recommended — and dog- and baby-approved! We had such a fantastic time at Fabrics in Hobsonville! A special shout-out to the incredible gentleman who seated us. His warm attitude and friendly accommodation set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. The ambience is just stunning — stylish yet cozy, with a great vibe that makes you want to stay longer. We paid $84 for two dishes and two drinks but the experience, service, and setting really do justify it. If you're looking for somewhere to treat yourself or take visiting friends, Fabrics is definitely worth checking out.”

“Delicious food and coffee. We had a great coffee time here after shopping at Dress Smart Outlet…”

“Great food, great service. There’s a coffee loyalty scheme so get your card stamped and leave it there so you don’t forget next time ;)”

“I had a lovely experience at Cornwell Park Cafe! The coffee was rich and smooth, brewed perfectly – just the right balance of strength and flavor to start the day. I also tried their avocado toast with bread, and it was fresh, vibrant, and satisfying. The avocado was creamy and well-seasoned, sitting on nicely toasted bread that had a great crunch. The presentation was simple yet inviting, and the overall vibe of the cafe was cozy and relaxed. A great spot to enjoy a quiet breakfast or catch up with a friend. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!”

“Enjoy a delicious breakfast in the lap on nature with greenery all around. Perfect place to sip a coffee after a good walk in the Auckland domain.”
