Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“In the building at Unitech. Good coffee. A range of delicious food at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.”

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

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

“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.”

“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 ;)”

“a good working cafe for tradies”

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

“A lovely new find! Superb service plus superb coffee.”

“Chips were amazing, sausage rolls were cooked to perfection and obiviously the pies were so good and there were alot of space in the bakery. Love it”

“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!”

“Rarely I give a coffee shop 5 stars, but this one deserve it. It runs by ambitious and enthusiastic people, they are friendly and helpful. Friendly by their welcoming and their smiles. Helpful by their suggesting and offering some alternative options. I’m here, enjoying my Latte, one of the best in Auckland (even better than the famous coffee shops), and I like the egg tarts. They run out quickly if you didn’t catch them, so, the barista girl suggested for me an Oreo cheesecake, and Guess what, it’s delicious! The place and the tables always clean and nice to set for a cup of coffee ☕️ and for someone on hurry as me. Good Job Taste Cafe people! I like it!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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?”

“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”

“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,.”

“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.”

“Friendly staff, good prices on pie for the island. Try the steak, cheese, and jalapeño! Not too spicy for most and really a fabulous flavour combo. Yum!”

“It was our 1st time dining at a mexican eatery and the food was really good and so was the service, the staff were really friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it for those who would like a 1st time good experience eating mexican food”

“Have not been to a Lone Star in ages. I feel it is the more expensive version of cobb and co. However, food and service was really good and loved the banoffee pie.”

“Such a quaint little place! It's a bit hidden around the corner of a set of shops. Very good serving sizes for the price, highly recommended.”

“Happy to serve and keep the kitchen open at 3pm. Technical closed. Good service!”

“Fantastic staff, amazing food, great prices. I have zero complaints. Well worth the money spent! I had the french toast - photo :)”
