Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“Loved this cafe. Will go back next time I'm in Devonport”

“Beautiful course with a spacious club room. Friendly & helpful staff. Thank you for supporting Orewa Primary Fundraiser. We are lucky to have such a great club in our community.”

“Amazing food and better service! This is a must stop for anyone in the area. Highlights for us weee the mango smoothie, eggs Benedict, avocado smash (better than California!), and raspberry scone. So good.”

“Today, we stopped by Mitre 10 Takanini and were pleased to find Columbus Coffee inside. They offer a great selection of cabinet food and menu items, but sometimes, it's just about enjoying a delicious drink. Given the warm weather, I opted for a Belgian Iced Chocolate — it was refreshing and exactly what I needed on a hot, humid day. We also had a double-shot flat white, which was smooth and satisfying. The café has plenty of seating, both indoors and in the Mitre 10 Garden Centre, which offers a lovely outdoor setup. For families, there's a little playground and even some colouring activities to keep the kids entertained. The service was friendly, efficient, and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Overall, Columbus Coffee in Takanini is a clean, inviting spot with great drinks, food, and service — definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!”

“Great pit stop on the side of the Motorway! Amazing food and drinks. Lovely outside/courtyard type seating area. The breakfast food options were delicious (the omelette in particular 10/10) and a sweet little mimosa to wake the girls up. Recommend!”

“Kareoki nights are the bomb. Tammy the Kareoki DJ on Tuesday night and Dave Hoeta on Thursday and Saturday nights from 9pm. A must visit if you're a singer or waiata artist.....chuuur!!! Fun place to visit.”

“we tried this place first time approx 1 month ago. Ever since the first visit, this place became our weekly routine. It's that good. Both dinner and brunch menu is excellent, super friendly service and very kids friendly (my daughter love their kids combo). I'm sure we will continue visit here more. Perhaps the only complaint is we wish there's more mocktail selection for the non-alcoholic drinkers :)”

“1st time eating here and 1st impression is great. Love the breaded chicken pasta with pesto cream!❤️❤️❤️”

“Heard so much about the Steak & Guinness Pie that we had to try it out. Hubby had the large one, me the small. Both did not disappoint and both were ample servings. Flakey puff pastry sealed over the top of a bowl of steaming hot steak filling, served with crispy beer battered chips and a green salad. Tasty and very well-priced. Great pub, awesome staff.”

“Super impressed with the quality of food, service and cleaniness of the cafe. No table is left uncleared. Always such a pleasure having our family breakfast here!”

“We booked a table via First Table, so was able to get a good deal for a table of 4. We ordered the Pan-Roasted Lamb Rump and Butcher's Cut Steak. The food came out quickly and it was very tasty. Basalt is nicely layed out, with one corner for dining, another area where you can watch live sport and have drinks. As well as an upstairs area with music”

“Had an awesome time here! The staff were super friendly and on point, the service couldn’t have been better. The food was fantastic—full of flavour and beautifully presented. Definitely a place we’re going back to!”

“Went for lunch, menu prices are really good. We ordered fish and chips, really enjoyed was a lovely meal. Staff there are very good & efficient and easy to talk too. Thoroughly recommend this place and will go back again.”

“Awsome people to deal with knowledge was massive had answers for all the questions I needed went to wat to in what area which is best which is not colours different species but same trees plants etc just Awsome!!!”

“I love garden centres, especially those with a café. Its a large, well stocked centre and the café serves a good coffee. As a bonus...all the people were nice too. In the café their eggs and salmon of rosti stack and salmon are excellent choices, they did not skimp on the salmon. Go and enjoy.”

“Consistently great pizza from Sals Birkenhead. The manager Raj is always friendly and nice to talk to, and he makes a pretty great pizza. Sals menu is simpler than other pizza places, but higher quality and tastier - plus a large pizza is actually large from Sals. Definitely recommend Sals for a slice of New York style pizza, especially if you can get a deal or bundle.”

“Impressive variety of quality vegetables and succulent chicken. The sauces were beautiful and the spice ranges were finally hot enough! Thai “medium” is what many western people will call too hot… but it’s not! If you don’t like spice order mild - for me, I ordered the hottest curry I could and it was incredible!! The sharp chilli spice cutting through the creamy coconut sauce with rich umami undertones… heaven. The Pad Thai lacked that sexy wok hei smokiness, and I prefer a wider flatter noodle, otherwise fantastic.”

“Great place. First time visiting. Loved the nachos (yes, they're Gluten Free), with beef. We're really delicious and the small size was perfect. I'll definitely go back.”

“Siobhan and Mikayla are such an asset to Mayfield. We were looked after so well. Our Mimosas made delicious! Joyful and professional- the team was so impressive with the way they bounced a disgruntled customer … he was so out of line. Well done ladies.”

“First time here and came after seeing the reviews. It absolutely didn't disappoint. Went for the seafood tartare to start which was really beautifully flavoured with hints of corriander and so fresh. Then went for one of the Wagyu scotch options. Had it medium rare upon recommendation from our lovely waitress. It was possibly one of the most beautifully flavoured tender pieces of steak ever. Both of us went for the same steak. If I come again I'll probably go for a few more side orders, went for the creamed spinach which was lovely. Will definitely return! Highly recommend and I am very fussy!”

“What a sumptuous feast, we practically licked our plates clean! The staff were all very friendly and helpful which made the dining experience such a memorable one”

“Good local bar and restaurant. Foods are nice and very friendly service.”

“Walked into a hidden Gem in Kingsland. I’d never heard of this place but is a quaint Bar & Eatery that I have raved about. Started lunch with a few glasses with the view of the back of Eden Park. Steak meal was juicy and full of flavour then our sharing plates Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon as well as Spicy Chicken went down a treat. Seemed as if I inhaled the food. Owner/Manager is a cute and outgoing. Didn’t come across as a robot but actually gave us his time. Also knew what he was talking about re menu as the food was devoured in peace (Thats when you know its good and also tasty)”

“So loud in here at night probably because of all of the voices bouncing off the hard walls haha, but friiendly, fun staff and cool underground feeling decor. Reminds of NYC for some reason; like a pub next to an old metro station. Burger was pretty excellent from what I remember. I'll come back at some point.”

“The server was very nice, and the overall atmosphere and decor of the place was more business-y than just relaxing. I felt like the music was on the louder side as well. The eggs benedict was delicious (the hash brown was SO crunchy, and I could cut it with my knife as well), and the matcha latte was alright, though it was more on the sweeter side than I would've liked. The food was on the pricier side (which was to be expected in CBD). I'd recommend going with colleagues or friends/dates that prefer more middle to high-end looking cafes. There were lots of space, but most tables were suited for 2 people.”

“Excellent all around. Great service, food and price.”

“Super friendly and attentive staff, they made us feel very welcome from the second we walked in. Really nice ambience and lots of space to move around and places to sit down. We visited on the steak special night, was great value for $29 including choice of 2 side dishes . Will definitely be back .”

“Accessible to students, has a good atmosphere with a pool table and small karaoke bar!”

“Dinned in a few times over my stay this week and everything was great! Perfect steak, crispiest potato’s, a fun spin on the classic devilled eggs, pork chop (excuse my mess) and even the room service Club sandwich was enormous! Washed down with a great wine list and good pick me up coffee in the morning.”
