Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“Look at that inviting courtyard. What a great place for a meeting, a break or stop for office time in one of their booths. Plenty of space in the back with outdoors covered seating area too. Great coffee and eggs Benedict. Cafe at front and large bar inside. You need to look in deeper than just from the street entrance.”

“breakfast roll from the cabinet is so good. The pork belly tacos taste much better here compared to another branch I went to. They also know how to make good coffee. Never disappointed.”

“We love this place! Indoor pools and outdoor splash pad, spa and sauna - very convenient for every age group. Oh, you can book a birthday party there too and you'll get the entire training pool just for your group.”

“Ordered a Baked Strawberry Cheesecake recently for a birthday party from Kneads and it was amazing! Communication with the ordering was quick and efficient, the cake was beautifully done as requested and everyone loved it. The fresh strawberries on top were definitely a bonus. They had a list of different options for cakes that can be made according to preference. Would definitely be ordering my Christmas cakes and birthday cakes from them again. Thanks! ☺️”

“We hired out Wynyard Pavilion for a corporate end of year event and everything was amazing. The food, service and atmosphere were all great. A massive thanks to Oceane for her wonderful organisation and communication skills. She made all of the planning easy and painless which caused the event to be a huge success.”

“Reservation made for a birthday lunch on a Saturday around 30 people. Staff very helpful especially Jordan who could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. Used their screen for photos (which my family had organised with the staff behind my back).Food excellent, everyone enjoyed the day. Would recommend the Village Bar and Grill for a birthday or family gathering”

“Excellent! This shop is impressed with attentive service, nice atmosphere, and delicious food. The appetizer and main course were standouts. Overall, it is recommended.”

“AMAZING FOOD. Such a beautiful place! Gorgeous lighting, big brick walls, so gorgeous. Smiling service. Definitely want to go back again! Great menu too, so hard to decide as it all sounds soo good! I had the holoumi salad with smoked salmon it was delicious!!”

“My Grandaughter Hayley from MELBOURNE was due for her 30th birthday, what’s a fantastic family plan she thought? Here’s the action! I will go to NZ and take granddad, aunty and her granddaughters to a fabulous attraction BUTTERFLY CREEK near Auckland airport! WOW! an absolutely amazing choice, friendly staff, well maintained, safety precautions adhered to by all! We hit cafe first as you do! The coffee was first class as was the food displayed or made. Train ride got you oriented to the park surroundings. That is wonderful! We had paid extra for a Meerkat encounter, stars where Kia and Otse friendly and playful no hesitation to climb on you for the mealy worms you fed them! Our animal keepers Madie and Woo who where in enclosure with us where knowledgeable informative and very nice people. The butterfly, kiwi, aquarium, baby animals dinosaurs are absolutely amazing! They have birthday party rooms as well! My advice for a fabulous educational and happy outing for discerning families is to take a trip and visit BUTTERFLY CREEK in Auckland NZ Arthur C Charlton west Auckland NZ.”

“Ordered a chai latte and chocolate cake and was very impressed! Chocolate cake was a generous serving, moist, and came with a dollop of sprinkle-topped cream :) And the chai was the best I've had at a cafe within memory - not too sweet, and strong flavour. Cafe was quiet but had nice seating area - Highly recommend”

“I love The Patriot, it’s easily my second-favourite spot to enjoy a cold, refreshing beverage on a sunny afternoon. (First place goes to my lounge when the All Blacks are on.) I’m a proud regular, usually popping in once or twice a week to take advantage of a good 2 for 1 deal and some great food. But for the love of all things holy, please don’t change the rib sauce. I’m not sure if it was just tonight and my taste buds were having an identity crisis, but something tasted different. Those ribs are usually perfection and I frequently advertise them as the best ribs on the shore, so if there’s been a tweak to that glorious sauce, I’m begging you, bring it back!”

“I just came in an got a bacon and egg quiche that was the best thing I have eaten to this day. 10 out of 10 highly recommend”

“Amazing service and even better food! Got the croissants and the blue smoothies and it was all superb! Maybe the best breakfast in New Zealand! Love all the staff and their infectious positivity! Thank you for the amazing expirience :)”

“Discovered this gem while in AKL on business, staying at the Heartland Airport Hotel. 5 min walk (free off street parking available side of cafe) extensive menu, clean & tidy. Everything made in-house except the pies. I ordered from the cabinet “to go” a large savoury scone, raspberry lamington, low carb vege frittata with side salad & coffee. Covered lunch & dinner all for $25! Tasty food, good coffee, all staff welcoming & delightful service from Morris - will return on my next business trip.”

“Incredible food. Ever since trying their ricotta ravioli I've been thinking about it at least once a week. Their entire menu sounds amazing and their cocktails are super reasonably priced (and taste great). Fantastic service too. Can't fault a thing.”

“I can only say that the fettucine pasta that I ordered was one of the best tasting pasta that we’ve ever had. We got chicken breast and added mushrooms and the chicken breast was amazingly tender and flavoursome. It was a hit with the whole family. Delicious!”

“Pretzel BLT is great. The pretzel bun is fragrant and soft, veges tasted fresh”

“Excellent food. Perfect service. Loved the smokey bacon and sourdough. I'd buy loaves of bread if you stocked them. Highly recommended. Will be back for sure!”

“My friend had popped over from Melbourne and was staying at the Park Hyatt so we decided to come here. A very good choice we made. The service was very quick and the drinks and food was top notch. We had The Hail Mary (Philly cheese steak) and The fried chicken burger with a couple of drinks. The fries that came with the food was crispy but soft inside and Steak Sandwich was superb. It was a bit loud but the music was great. All in all we had a good evening out.”

“A wonderful Turkish influenced cafe. The Baklava latte was spot on. Paired with chilli scrambled eggs worked well with flavours. Loved the whipped feta beetroot that came with the smashed avocado. They also have a separate kids menu. Our table host Ted was pleasant and gave us a good experience. Beautiful morning wonderfully plated food. Even the butter on toast had a special wrap.”

“Staff are excellent, very friendly and the food is very reasonably priced - I had a big bucket of delicious mussels for only $14. Wide drinks selection. And the music is very good wink wink. Hard to complain, thank you for a good time”

“A cozy open spot at Royal Oak. Had a delicious flat white with coffee art of a swan. Nice open top area and was relatively busy.”

“Nice little place surrounded by lots of Asian restaurants. They serve different flavours of bubble tea, and the taste was great. We really enjoyed our drinks!”

“Today I ordered a takeaway mocha frappe which a man made and it was absolutely delicious I had to leave a review!! Additionally, I came here for an iced latte and again it was the best latte I have had from a coffee shop and left a lasting impression. Thanks a lot.”

“Had experience like fine dinning restaurant. Foods look so nice and taste delicious. Good service Highly recommend Will be back for sure”

“Came here for breakfast with my partner. The inside looks great and the food is even better! There’s a menu and foods on display. I saw a falafel salad that I wanted but unfortunately it wasn’t vegan friendly. The chef came over to me to say she can make a vegan version from scratch. I really appreciated this and it was absolutely delicious. My partner got a chicken curry filo that he loved and we got two fresh apple juices. This all came to $41. A bargain if you ask me!”

“From the moment you walk in Reign and Pour brings a solid upbeat and relaxed vibe. The staff are friendly and incredibly attentive. The food.... Oh my goodness, so good. I had the stuffed chicken which was so well balanced in terms of flavour profile. My partner had the steak and said "this is the best steak I've had in quite some time." To share we also grabbed the cauliflower bites which were perfectly salted and crispy. We'll be back for sure!”

“What a lovely place. From the moment we walked in we were made welcome and given a menu straight away. Our server was very attentive and makes a decent coffee too (definitely a bonus). The staff are so kind too - I witnessed 2 of them helping an older gentleman into his chair. The food is lovely and hot. On our most recent visit we had creamy mushrooms and a breakfast buttie. I loved how the house rosti was shaped like a birds nest. The house soda is also very refreshing. I am definitely going back.”

“The Paw Bar and Eatery is a fantastic place to come with family/friends/a date or even on your own! The twinkling lights with all the beautiful plants make you feel like you are in a tropical resort. The staff are an absolute gem- super friendly and quick! There is a lot of space to sit outdoor or indoors. They have great events such as trivia and live music. I hosted a staff party there and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. The doggy menu is also obviously a huge plus and they always have many board games. Sizzling skewers are now a new highlight, which you cannot find anywhere else in the hood! I highly recommend swinging by. Cheers!”

“Great coffee and first place open downtown in early morning. Staff friendly.”
