Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! We came for the first time last Friday and will definitely be back! one of the best dining experiences we have had in Auckland. The food is just phenomenal, the service outstanding and the atmosphere just what we were in need of. If we had to offer any constructive feedback it would be that the side of fries is in need of some work, but that didn't detract from this 10/10 experience. We will be back”

“This restaurant has the most freshly cooked meal’s without any preservatives and msg. Their Briyani was first class and my kid loved the cheese naan with lamb curry ❤️ Keshab was awesome with his hospitality and service towards customers even it’s my first time here this beautiful service and delicious food making up to visit this restaurant frequently in future. Thank you for the good food and service”

“We had a really good experience at Bossi. I had the steak for my main and it was AMAZING. We also ordered a couple of desserts, which were the perfect end to dinner. We will definitely be back. Our waiter was fantastic, very knowledgeable and genuinely lovely.”

“I enjoy fine dining, but cannot say I am a "foodie" with a fully calibrated palate. That said, I was taken back by how masterful each dish was - aesthetically pleasing, full of flavor, and unique. This was an experience, one of the best meals I've had in all of my travels. I did not have a reservation, dined solo, and had a seat at the bar with no wait. Despite the bar setting, the atmosphere felt private and the service was exemplary. I highly recommend the Crudo. I followed the servers suggestion here, and was thankful I did so.”

“Loved my dinner at Geeks on Sainsbury! The pork belly and kimchi soup were delicious, tasty and perfectly done. It was great to see they are dog-friendly too. The staff were amazing; super friendly despite having to deal with some rude customers. We will absolutely be back!”

“We had a staff Christmas Dinner here. We booked a table Riverside with a cool breeze coming in the window. The waitress guided us through the menu and recommended specials. Everything was delicious, favorites being the duck pancakes and bao buns. We had 4 small plates and 3 large plates for four people and there was plenty of food. We were to full for dessert, but they looked really good.”

“My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch, little miss 5.5 was not only all smiles but very well looked after including sneaky chocolate delivery from the lovely Emilie who expertly serviced our needs. Attentive, friendly and anticipating our every need, this girl needs a bar tab from the owners or at the very least a juicy slab of meat loaded with truffle butter!! A true pleasure of an experience with delightful food, service and even better views!”

“Red Earth Bistro has such wonderful choices of food to choose from on their menu. All staff are friendly and courteous. Makes your time at the restaurant feel so relaxing and enjoyable. We always look forward to returning again for another night out with friends or family. Thank you all so much.”

“Great store they have all your needs. Friendly service”

“Fantastic customer service and a wonderful experience every time my family has visited! More recently, the team went above and beyond by supporting our community through the donation of vouchers for our kindergarten. Huge thanks to Porcia and the team for their generosity and support!”

“Come on Auckland! You guys need to come and support this great business! The beers are off the chart and the food is fantastic! I love a hazy IPA, each one was unique and delicious! There are over 30 different beers to choose from! The food was really good. I highly recommend the crispy butchers bites, the deep fried gherkins, the Korean cauliflower and the ChurBurger! That ChurBurger was……chur!! Bloody delicious!!! Not a big fan of shoestring fries (I like the proper chunky fries) but overall, fantastic beer and food…I highly recommend!”

“We had such a wonderful time at Catfe Mao! The staff are incredibly nice and took the time to tell us the stories behind each cat—you can really tell how much they care for these animals. The place is spotlessly clean, peaceful, and the cats are just adorable. My kids and I were so happy here. Also, a quick shoutout to their milk tea—it’s absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for cat lovers and families.”

“2025: Another dine-in visit to Beaufort & Co in Oteha, and nearly a year later, the experience is still top class. Special mention to Olga—your warm manner and attention to customer care were truly appreciated. When we realised we’d missed out on one of the special doughnuts of the day (caramel gingerbread), Olga kindly arranged with the chef to create some alternative options for our takeaway order, going well above and beyond expectations. Huge thanks to the chef as well for making it happen. Our dine-in meals were served quickly, beautifully presented, and well-balanced in flavour. Portion sizes were just right, and our hot drinks were absolutely delicious. The takeaway packaging is next-level—loved the clear window so you can peek at what's inside. My friend said the scone was one of the yummiest she'd ever had. The doughnuts were rich and satisfying, with a thick cream that held its shape well. My daughter loved her bacon hash croissant and smoked salmon bagel. The pistachio croissant had a dense texture and probably would’ve been even better warmed up at home —something to keep in mind for next time. The “everything” slice was a bit much for our palates, but if you’re into fruit and chocolate combos, it’ll likely hit the spot. Highly recommend Beaufort & Co for both dine-in and takeaway if you're after a treat for the tastebuds. 2024: We just had breakfast at Beaufort & Co, and it was a top-tier experience from start to finish. Tiramisu Dessert Shake – 5/5: Everything we'd hoped for—creamy and subtle, with excellent presentation. The lady finger added a delightful crunchy texture. Passionfruit Spritzer – 5/5: Fresh, tangy, and bursting with real passionfruit flavour. Absolutely delicious. Mochaccino – 5/5: Perfect in flavour, temperature, and presentation. Smoked Salmon Beaufort Benne – 5/5: Faultless. Each ingredient was perfectly cooked and presented. The best Eggs Benedict we've had so far, with a perfect serving size. S'mores Waffles – 5/5: The quality and care put into this dish were evident. The waffles were crispy on the outside, light but moist on the inside. The berry compote was delicious, and the chocolate mascarpone was decadent with a smooth texture. The homemade marshmallow squares with a subtle berry jelly layer at the bottom were the cherry on top—a true chef's kiss. The service was A++, with lovely staff who made us feel welcome. The seating was comfortable, the décor clean and bright, and the music—a mix of classic hits—was the perfect way to start the day. 100% recommend this place! 2023: Amazing quality and tasty food. Excellent set up and presentation. Gets quite busy because of this but booking a table ahead of time will see you seated comfortably without any issues. They have a text line you can pre-order from (check FB) and an excellent takeaway service too.”

“Raw fish on toast was to die for! Fish was fresh, lovely flavour and the bread wasn’t too hard to cut through! Iced latte (not pictured) was also delicious. Excited to try this little spot the next time I’m in Auckland.”

“We loved it here; the atmosphere, the wonderful service and, of course, the food.”

“I recently placed a review for ONE Onehunga after visiting with my wife, for brunch, she had previously been there and had a great experience...I had a less than great meal and service. In reply to that review the asked me to give them another chance..we did today. The difference was night and day, where to start....the tea was fantastic and they had sweetener ( none last time). The big breakfast ( One breakfast) was much improved, seasoned mushroom and tomatoes, great eggs, perfect lightly cooked bacon. The service was quick, polite and professional. Now the small things....there were staff cleaning, not just tables but other surfaces when not busy, fresh flowers on the tables, the owner training the staff in quite periods....very impressive. I am really pleased to have been proven wrong in regard to my previous review and thank you to the owners for their pleasant reply to that review and the conversation I had with one of the owners this morning.”

“Delicious flat whites. They are a coffee speciality shop and always deliver on good coffee. Environment is pleasant to be within. The coffee is a little bit on the expensive side, but worth the money! Will be back :)”

“They had gluten free vegan pancakes which is a big deal and they are AMAZING”

“Great coffee! Amazing selection of food too. Brilliant range of fresh bakery delights including pies, donuts, fresh fruit salads. I had a Brisket, jalapeno mozzarella bap, biscoff donut and custard square with my FW coffee - spectacular!”

“Popped into this very sweet cafe very early in the morning! There are plenty of manly regulars popping in and out and I can see why! They have a solid menu and good vibes.”

“I had a wonderful experience at British Isles Inn. From the moment we arrived, the owner made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm and friendly attitude. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food paired with outstanding hospitality!”

“Great coffee, tasty food, happy customers!”

“Had a fantastic dining experience at Daphne. The highlight of the night was definitely the woodfired market fish dish — a beautiful combination of clams, mussels, prawns, and fresh fish that captured the essence of the sea. Every bite was a burst of oceanic flavour, delicately balanced with herbs and seasoning. It felt like a celebration of fresh seafood done right. Also really enjoyed the pork belly skewers — crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, paired perfectly with the pickled rhubarb and fennel. A great contrast of textures and flavours.”

“Best turkish food in Auckland, if not the country I would say. The lamb in particular is succulent. The cocktails were amazing too. Highly recommend!!”

“I had an outstanding experience at this brunch spot! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we ordered was cooked perfectly, and the ingredients tasted high-quality. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly — we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a slow morning. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the overall vibe is wonderful. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic brunch!”

“Jervois Rd Wine Bar + Kitchen delivered an exceptional dining experience that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was flawless. We started with the lemon pepper calamari, which was perfectly tender and seasoned to perfection. The truffle fries were indulgent and had just the right amount of truffle aroma, making them impossible to resist. The wagyu beef sliders were a highlight – juicy, flavorful, and served with a delightful balance of textures. The mains were equally impressive. The wagyu brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender and packed with bold, rich flavors. The lamb cutlets were cooked to perfection, beautifully tender with a touch of smokiness. The goat cheese croquettes were a creamy, crispy delight that added a perfect complement to the meal. To top it all off, the pomegranate sour was a fantastic choice – expertly mixed, refreshing, and a great pairing for the food. Every dish was presented beautifully, and the flavors were nothing short of incredible. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere of the bar was cozy and inviting. Jervois Rd Wine Bar + Kitchen is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return for another memorable dining experience! 5/5 stars. Highly recommend!”

“Every time I go to Auckland, I make sure to visit Windross House. I’m always greeted with a smile and the service is fantastic. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. My favourites dishes are the classic mango chicken and garlic Prawns for entree. It’s a must visit when in Auckland!!”

“What a delight it was to eat at Morrell! The food was some of the best I’ve had in Auckland since moving here 3 years ago. Service was great and of course booking through First Table was seemless. Only thing I’d say that could’ve been better was the option to split the bill as there were 4 of us. But aside, top class experience! Thank you Morell team.”

“My husband and I have been visiting this restaurant for years now, highly recommended. The owner is very friendly, food is delicious and restaurant is always nice and cosy. I have even taken other family members for dinner which they loved.”
