Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“Great food and great atmosphere. The place fulled up quickly. All the food was great. Our server could have smiled or engaged a bit more.”

“The roast duck is the best in the town, and i also like the “wok hey”of the beef noodles. The staff over there are very friendly too, highly recommended!”

“I love this place. Decent place for a lunch in Penrose. The staff is great, friendly and quick service. I have been here 3-4 times and never gave a chance for disappointment. Great taste. Reasonable costs.”

“The food here is very tasty and a must try. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and am thoroughly impressed with the food. An absolute classic and a must try .”

“Been here for different occasions for several times, I can only say nothing for me to complain about. Owners are very dedicated to the business, service is beyond average Chinese restaurants. Food is yummy with no question. They even have installed one Karaoke machine on the second floor private dinning room. They open for business in most days in a year which is very thoughtful. Love it!”

“Really good food ... excellent pekin duck , excellent roasted crispy pork ! Good prices .”

“Good choices for Indian groceries items and very friendly service.”

“Pork belly is tender and melts in your mouth and pig head and lamb pieces are the best”

“The staff at Hello Stranger are so friendly and helpful, every single staff member I’ve encountered is so kind and attentive. They make you want to go back! The food is delish! Bacon Eggs Bene and French Toast are my top picks but it’s all yum!! Highly recommend!”

“Get some kai and helping others at the same time. And I won’t lie that getting a meal for $5 in 2024 is a big draw card. There’s also some lovely cabinet food as well.”

“Great service and relaxing atmosphere. The drinks were delicious and nicely presented. The food is very well executed with tonnes of flavour. The standout was the pork belly with a wonderfully crispy skin and a sweet/savoury jus. The bombe alaska was also another great dish, with a well balanced berry compote, ice cream and a smokey meringue. The owners and staff really put in an effort in the restaurant experience and it shows! We’ll be back for sure.”

“Friendly service. The freshly made falafel is beautiful”

“Super friendly staff. The lamb samosa are my favourite. Little things make a big difference. Like the chicken mayo sandwich. These guys actually season the chicken unlike most others.”

“Had a lovely meal for lunch recently. The meal tasted homemade. The dishes in offer transported me to Hong King.”

“Stopped in for an early dinner, had a delicious combination 3 meat on rice dish and a sweet and sour pork (it had plenty of pineapple which is a plus!). Both were very tasty and large portions. Couldn’t fault it and had a nice family run feel to the place.”

“An old chinese restaurant but the menu really updated. The taste was great as well.”

“Second visit today, absolute fan of their prices and offerings. Highly recommend Minced pork with eggplant on rice (ask for chilli sauce on side) and thick noodles in spicy sauce - these 2 are from their budget lunch menu. Today I ordered baked chicken in Portuguese sauce on rice, was with a HK native who helped pick something uniquely local. Portuguese sauce is a bit like curry sauce and with the baked cheese and juicy chicken went surprisingly well with rice. Highly recommend (#50).”

“Lovely coffee and yummy cheese scone! Service was chatty but professional and the whole gallery is lovely for a visit.”

“This place is amazing! Great coffee! This was our first coffee stop on our first trip to New Zealand and the staff seemed extremely excited to help us find our perfect coffee.”

“Great staff. They already know the coffee orders when I walk in! This is the go to Cafe if you are in the area! Great coffee and they make all their own food in the displays which is delicious. The Chicken and Bacon burger is a great choice.”

“Best coffee I might have had in my life here, and it was decaf soy so it had 2 strikes against it (to make it taste good). Lovely sandwiches and treats as well. Chill vibes. Will definitely be back.”

“Best airport meal I've ever had - by far!!! The avocado smash prepared by chef Gemma was so delicious. Her poached eggs rival any I've had at top rated restaurants all over the world. So well done I had to compliment her when I finished. And the service from Kara and Deepika was first-class as well. Great atmosphere on a Sunday morning before my flight. I had enough time to order an entire 2nd avocado smash and Americano. If you like to eat healthy, fresh, awesomely-prepared food at an affordable price with fantastic service, choose Aroha Cafe!”

“What a cute cafe! The adorable barista Aria was so helpful and her energy was a breath of fresh air! She had above and beyond service.”
