Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“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.”

“It's not fancy inside but they make the best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. The fish is beautifully fresh. Perfect light, crisp batter, perfect crispy chips and crunchy potato fritters. So delicious. Recommended.”

“For my husband and I, as NZ Born South East Asians, it wasnt just a meal, it was like experiencing our heritage and identity thru food. My husband is a huge chatty foodie, plus he's only in recent years started to embrace his South East asian identity... He enjoyed speaking with Carlo about food, history and flavours. We could tell Carlo is extremely passionate about what he does and we found it very inspiring. My self too, I'm not much of a foodie, but I can attest every dish we had that night felt like familiarity... it was a really eye opening experience to 2 people who grew up in NZ without that connection to our parents' countries. I know for some it was just a restaurant, but for us, the ingredients, history and passion touched us personally. We will be sure to come back often and bring friends and family to experience Bar Magda and Carlo's wonderful food and hospitality again!”

“If you're planning on hosting any event, I highly recommend Royal Hype! Food tasted amazing and this place is VERY generous with their food. Staff was extremely kind and nice and were always keen to go above and beyond (they always offered to help even though they really.didnt have to). Everyone was so accommodating and it created an amazing atmosphere for my guests. By far the best venue I have ever booked. Everything was easy and smooth, truly a gem for huge celebrations! My party had 70 guests, but could accommodate over 100 guests depending on how you handle the seating plans.”

“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!!”

“Awesome spot, top notch food and at a great price. Everything we ordered exceeded my expectation. The mussels were cooked to perfection in a tasty sauce and the sautéed prawns had a great kick to it that complimented the toasted baguette. These were only the starters! The main dish though was divine. We ordered the pork belly and the steak and ribs combo! The pork belly had the tastiest sauce which pairs with the crispy skin and tender meat perfectly, to top it of the kumara shavings added some crunch and extra flavouring. The mouth watering ribs were soft and succulent, falling off the bone. You think it cant get any better right? But this was paired with a cut of sirloin that was seared on the grill cooked to perfection. The tasty layer of crust holding in those medium rare flavours. Drizzle this in the mushroom sauce mixed with the coleslaw on the side. Taasty! Now hear me out, all this sounds like perfection but to top it off its BYO with the liquorland a minute walk away! Grab that bottle of wine and dine in for great evening you wont regret”

“they do amazing platters/ share box, very good value, very tasty too! great spot to do takeaway and sit and eat at the beach across the road! highly recommend!”

“A very good kitchen for friends to catch up with drinks in Devonport. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Staff are busy but friendly!”

“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.”

“Decided to take my lunch at this lovely place when I visited Davenport, and I think I made the right choice. The Salmon on the toast I had was lovely, but a bit pricey tho. The great thing is that they also have gluten free and dairy free options available for those who have dietary restrictions. The staffs and the owner (a guy with that lovely dog?) were also nice and friendly. It was a lovely afternoon surely.”

“What a place - wine , craft, yum food. Should you be into cocktails, you’re in heaven. They’ve even got a good variation on espresso martini. Everything is a unique creation. Come in.”

“My photo doesn’t do it justice. The Fries were HEAVENLY. The service was immaculate. Every 10 mins someone would come up and check if we were doing well. The atmosphere is lively. A bit loud sometimes, however, they have some wonderful little booths that are Christmas themed at the moment. The decor right now is so cute. We will be coming back!”

“Go to place for some friendly yet competitive pool game sets. Can be well complimented by some beer and nibbles. Friendly and efficient staff ensuring a good experience. Well laid out facility with more than a dozen tables available. Recommend to make a booking to get a table without waiting.”

“So sad to see this local pub close but looking forward to what it's replaced with”

“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.”

“Food brilliant, service exceptional, servings generous! Especially the pork belly. And when Mud made an appearance, topped off a wonderful birthday celebration! Thank you”

“I went to the Bottomless Brunch event on Saturday and it was awesome! The service was great, the food was delicious and it was an all around great experience”

“As a first time customer I was really impressed with the coffee & customer service I received from the ladies working there. I will surely return & support The Coffee Mill. Thanks for making my day. 10 STARS for the COFFEE & SERVICE! *Date 11/14/2021*”

“Hands down best original milk tea place with pearls. I'm that kind of person who would order original with pearls from all different places to compare bubble teas relatively fairly but I haven't been moving on to other menus because their ones are too good lol. Their base tea is super flavourful which doesn't get lost when mixed with milk. Milk doesn't have weird aftertaste like some places do, and a perfect ratio between tea base and milk. Their pearls are also done in a perfect way everytime. Not too chewy, not too hard, not too soft - chewy enough to have a good amount of biting while it last but doesn't feel hard at all! Also one last thing that I have been impressed with is consistency. It never fails - same best milk tea with pearls every time.”

“We've been here twice in the last month, and had a great meal each time. The new owners are really friendly and nice, and the bar has a nice coast atmoshere. On the Halloween night they had a dress up session with prizes, and Nelly was perfect as an Angel. The food is all great. I highly recommend the pizzas and the steak. Both are excellent. If I had to make one improvement suggestion, it would be to perhaps get a a wider range of craft beers. But generally this is a great place that I highly recommend.”

“We had a family Christmas lunch today at the Archer, the food was fantastic as was the service. Extensive menu has something for everyone, including the youngest member of our group (Mr Nearly Two). I happily recommend The Archer to anyone who is looking for a nice, quiet place for lunch during the week.”

“I absolutely love it at 2Spoons, the gluten free savoury muffins and freshly baked cinnamon brioche are to die for. They make great coffee too. The staff are really friendly and accommodating.”

“When I have visitors I always take them to the Majestic Tea House for their famously delicious Mocha's made with real milk chocolate. Mornings are the best for the cabinet food, nice selection and the slices I've tried were good. Cheerful service.”

“Great space fun for all ages. Plenty of shade.”

“Whenever I get a good enough break when I'm in the city, I beeline it straight to this place. Coffee is amazing and their savoury scones are amazing!!”

“Awesome place to get your coffee on the run. We always make a quick stop when we close by.”

“The best pies, sandwiches and coffee in Greenlane area! Many times I stop here and grab something and the quality is just far superior than that of your local bakery Sterling Arnet Kakapo Business Sales”

“What an awesome spot! Jose’s Cantinas brings back a lot of memories of living in SoCal, where we would go to Taco Tuesday spots religiously. Really cool setup/atmosphere, super friendly staff and a fantastic range of Mexican food options. The perfect spot for a jovial weeknight. Thanks Jose, love your work!
