Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“This place is a REAL gem. We have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Outstanding bakery. Everything is always fresh and crispy. Cheesecakes are absolutely incredible too. Quality of ingredients is 10 out of 10.”

“Husband and I go there for the scrumptious food,pies,and service. Everything is cooked and baked on site, and the pies are to die for.”

“Very impressed! Very busy with locals, truckies and tradies, always a sign of good food and service. A real value for money place to either stop and eat or pick up yummy, tasty cabinet food. Keep an eye out on the main road for it, especially if you have the kids with you. Good old icecreams and milkshakes too. Spotlessly clean, as are the toilets.”

“I was so happy they had Foul Madamas, made me feel at home (I am from South West Sydney). Great coffee too, lovely friendly staff from cafe”

“The cafe is super cozy and had such a warm atmosphere. The meals were great portion size , worth the money! And the flavour is amazing and delicious. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Omg my 2 girls and my son inlaw goes here omg I had their sandwiches 2x this week I had a lamb and cranberry was that nice I brought another I finally get to taste their food and they are closing down I wish they could just open cause my breakfast will always be at this Cafe exceptional money is worth it”

“Cafe attached to Mt Eden Gardens. Indoor and outdoor seating, Great service from Lady who was on duty Friday 20th October around midday. Food and coffee ☕️ were good. Cold drinks available. Being located in Eden Gardens it has a restful peaceful atmosphere. Can order from a menu. Will definitely Visit again.”

“Food and staff are a breath of fresh air. Polite, excellent service and tasty good looking food. Value for money is excellent. Coffee is on point as well.”

“Great café with a friendly staff and allergy friendly menu for those that desire/require it. French toast was next level.”

“Love this place real good for salads and uber eats”

“First Time at Old Town Malaysia Café Tried the Wan Ton Mee, Wat Tan Hor, and Fried Carrot Cake. The food was delicious, with flavors that reminded me of classic Singaporean street food—simple, comforting, and full of nostalgia. Portions are just right for one person. A great spot if you’re craving traditional tastes in a cozy setting.”

“Best cafe around and the only one we have found with a decent sized large coffee (500ml bowl).. Been regulars for years but has just been taken over by Kings themselves. Fast service from a hard working and very pleasant staff. Best home made winter soup anywhere. Agree that it can be a bit too noisy due to the hard surfaces when very busy, but that is just about the only downside. Even when cool outside, blankets are available. Dog friendly and one of the few places around that can cope with a fair sized group and no parking problems.”

“This is located in the second floor of Smith & Caugheys shop. Several tables, great atmosphere. I had a delicious fritata with salad. Great value, tasty and affordable. The food options were good, lots of salads and other cabinet food. Very friendly staff. It will be very sad if this cafe closes.”

“The molten chocolate was an absolute delight warm, rich, and perfectly paired with creamy vanilla ice cream. The fresh strawberries and pistachio crumbs added a lovely balance of flavour and texture. Having this dessert in the beautiful surroundings of Mission Bay made it even more enjoyable. A moment where good food and a beautiful place came together perfectly.”

“Good place to see planes taking off. kids can have fun here.”

“Lovely cafe inside the botanical centre - a great place for a coffee surrounded by plants. I was very happy to discover that they have vegan milk options - soy, almond, and coconut milk for $1 extra, making my soy flat white $6.50. Good coffee and good atmosphere. They have a toilet on site as well. They have very limited vegan food options with only one on the menu that I could see. Would be great if they could expand their vegan offering.”

“Was recommended to come here for the Lambs Fry, so I made the trek out to this little cafe and it dosent disappoint. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful! The food was homely and very satisfying as well. They have a whole range of food items, hot or cold! Of course there are espresso based drinks, as well as alcoholic if you want a cold brew! There are lovely little tables inside to sit at, or there are tables littered all over the courtyard!”

“Great breakfasts. Good thing was the eggs were soft. Waitresses need to be trained though. Delivered our coffee but walked away without clearing last guests plates and cups. Needed to call her back. Didn't know which coffees she was delivering either. So we had to decide what the coffee was ourselves. Delivered a cappuccino and thought it was a hot chocolate.”

“I’ve only visited for coffee since the new owners started - coffee was fabulous, menu looks good and the new fit out is amazing.”

“Such a great day for it. Stunning views to relax and enjoy a meal and a cold beer. A popular little spot at brunch time on a Saturday. I had the Slow Cooked Pork Ribs with Salad and Fries. The meat fell off the bone and was succulent with a tasty lightly spiced sauce. They were delish! The fries were cooked in a really nice fresh oil and were very moreish. The salad was fresh with a lovely zingy dressing. My husband had the Fish and Chips. The fish was perfectly cooked. Again, the salad and fries were awesome too. Staff cleared the table quickly.”

“lovely pies and savories. Nice sandwiches with lots of choices of fillings. Coffee good. Friendly owners.”

“Most amazing service and the best coffee I’ve had in a long time! Came back here every morning we could; definitely recommend if you’re cashing quality food and coffee.”

“We’re regulars, and the food never disappoints, the eggs Benedict are always cooked to perfection! The team is friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely care about both their human and furry guests. If you’re a puppy owner, your dog will be treated just as well as you are. Always a pleasure to visit. Highly recommended!”

“This was the 1st place we had brunch after lockdown finished - was great to go out into a new place and give it a go, and we will be back to try the rest! It's definitely a step up on the old cafe - this is a Destination Cafe with a garden centre attached, rather than the traditional cheap tearooms pretending to be a cafe hidden at the back of the garden centre. Really nice layout and design - very much an "ikea Swedish" look complemented by fresh plants everywhere (as you would expect in a garden centre), with friendly service and a can-do attitude. A nice touch is that you can access directly from the road and the car park rather than having to fight your way through the retail in the garden centre. One little design issue for some customers: The flat reflective surfaces do mean a bit of noise when it's busy, so head out to the tables in the garden if you want a bit less bustle or you're hard of hearing. The Covid-19 L2 menu is a little reduced from the regular, but has all the essential brunch options, with a well crafted and fancy creamy porridge with the essential fruity and crunchy bits, terrific "big breakfast" for anyone wanting the full english, and a good Eggs Bene with the *outstanding* twist of including a zesty Spanish black bean hummus. Seriously, that black bean hummus is a star. Nice one, Kings! I hear the other stores may be updating to this style cafe soon, and look forward to it!”

“The food was delicious! The hot chocolate was fluffy and not overly sweet. The Eggs Benedict was seriously good! The friendly lady at the shop was helpful, polite and efficient. Will definitely go again!”

“Highly recommend their fried chicken wings. I would drive 30 min just for them. They have a very extensive menu - there's something for everyone. Not too expensive either! Limited parking but wheelchair accessible. Fast service too.”
