Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“5* for being epic sponsors of the Santa Run (and hosts afterwards) for a great cause and helping to raise $5700 for Hospice. Supplying all the Santa suits was awesome. Thank you. And the Santa Run event was hilarious - Cheers!”

“Our go to for a good pub burger, steak & fries and a cold one. Awesome karaoke & music in the background. A proper NZ pub for sure! Would highly recommend if your wanting a good pub feed.”

“Its a lovely spot, I took a couple of customers there for lunch and was impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. Ill definitely be coming back. Thanks for a great experience. Your staff were great.”

“Took about 20 minutes to be prepared but well worth the wait, massive portion size, and delicious, amazing place”

“Mean place aye, brought da missus from aus here and watched da footy, loved it aye, good beer and atmosphere, much love Mangere bridge tavern”

“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”

“I went there to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth it. Spending time here was such a great experience. The food, the people, everything was fabulous. The seafood platter and feast were especially delicious, and the place has a really nice view. If you have a party coming up, I would definitely recommend this place!”

“This was my second time in Ora bistro through First Table booking. The food was excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The staff were extremely friendly and brought out the dish quite quickly. We will definitely be back and try the other options on their menu.”

“Fast and yum and great staff ! Fairly priced. Specials sounds good. I be back for them :)”

“had some lovely vegan pizzas, beautiful wine and a lovely chat with the owner. Best pizza crust, you will eat more than you intended! We highly recommend.”

“Excellent burgers. Slightly oversalted fries but the burger was spot on. Crispy edges with a juicy center, great balance of flavors, and the bun held everything together without getting soggy. The best burger in devonport”

“Been a fan of this place for years the music on most nights is great hidden gem is upstairs to the right of the toilets along with 3 other cool spaces to share a beer with your mates never once have I seen any drama door staff do a great job. Safe place to get a glow on”

“Walked in to have a drink on a sunny Sunday lunch - but also ended up ordering food from White and Wong’s. boa bun, dumplings, papaya salad and they were all absolutely delicious! Away from the louder restaurants further on the wharf but still with a nice chilled atmosphere. Waiter was friendly and attentive.”

“I've been to this cafe a few times before, but I stopped coming because I felt like the portions were getting smaller and the staff seemed unenthusiastic. I recently heard it changed owners and wanted to check it out. I wasn't disappointed. The staff were very warm and friendly, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion size was generous—I usually can't finish a plate this big. Of course, this is a new start with the new ownership, and I hope they can keep it up. All in all, there are so many cafes in Auckland, and not every one makes you want to go back.”

“Just a fabulous, clean and tidy environment to relax and enjoy the well maintained garden outside. I love visiting because the staff are consistently friendly, welcoming and the fantastic range of beverages and food keep me and my friends coming back for more. Highly recommended.”

“Place of good food with nice environment and one side lake. There are hips of car parking. There entrance are very wheelchair and strollers friendly. They have lots of entrance and entry options. This is the great place for buffet or party or conference with staying in there hotels. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. They just cleaned the tables within seconds. You don’t worry about used plates. All staffs are very responsive. They will give you super first for your services.”

“Great atmosphere. Food is really delicious. The only reason for 4 stars is that the steak was a little bit over cooked, but luckily still pink. The stuffed chicken was fantastic, the peppercorn sauce the star of the show! Friendly staff and prompt service. Great restaurant with good variety. Today, I couldn't fault anything. And the 2 girls that served us were SO amazing!! It felt like home! Thank you so much!”

“This is how a sports bar should be. Clean, and well-presented with no drama. It's part of the community and several local groups hold meeting there. There are raffles and a fishing club. Even free bread from the local bakery on occasion. The beer is very well priced and although the menu is none existent you can bring in food from other establishments.”

“Unfortunately have closed down for good along with the anime shop. Had to take my daughter to Noah's ark for her milk tea which we ended throwing in the bin because it was just awful, please open up a stall or a separate shop”

“I ordered from this bakery a while back on uber. They were not very good so I didn't order again until very recently. They have to have new bakers or owners because the food quality has changed dramatically for the better. Classic bakery food done really well for a great price. Has become a new favourite of mine. I always judge a bakery by the quality of their custard slice and this is one of the few that make a real, proper one. Highly recommend.”

“I visited Taste Explosion and had an amazing experience! The owner is very welcoming, the staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and the food… simply excellent! Everything is very well prepared and generously served. Definitely a place worth visiting and coming back to many times.”

“Beautiful home cooked food and also has a restaurant menu. Top country-side café that I've been to. Coming here very day while I'm working in Waitoki”

“The food it very high quality, great presentation, friendly staff.”

“My new favourite! The store itself is a little cramped, but I have been there 3 or 4 times now to try different things - absolutely delicious every time :)”

“A much higher end Korean BBQ restaurant that is justified as the entire dining experience is top notch. I was afraid there were no tables available as I hadn't booked but I was warmly welcomed on arrival. The restaurant has a beautiful interior, almost like Victorian style with a large and bright kitchen. Their menu has a range of freshly cut meats and food items and they recently have a summer menu consisting of many cold and marinated seafoods. We got two types of meat and from their seasonal menu we got the crab cold noodles and marinated raw prawns. The bonus to this reataurant is that it's charcoal BBQ. Everything was delicious, especially the seasonal menu. While you are cooking and eating, staff are constantly looking after their customers and will help you grill your meat and changing your BBQ rack for you. The crab cold noodles contain an entire marinated crab with spicy noodles (even though I was expecting crab meat) which was a bit difficult to eat but you can always ask staff to give you a pair of those disposal gloves. This place is a real treat and I appreciate such attentive customer service from staff. The price point would be considered on the higher side but is justified with the high quality of customer serivice and food.”

“Myself and a mate have ben eating here frequently (2-3 days a week the past 2 years or so) and love the chilled atmosphere and staff. Quality lunch bar food with options to create your own (I order egg white omelette in the morning after the gym) - overall one of my favourite places to eat in the Airport Area!”

“I used to come here a lot when I worked in the area, came back for nostalgia. Still had filling, reasonably priced food. Great milkshakes, good burgers. Full and happy for a reasonable price.”

“Very yummy and delicious selection of whole day breakfast and brunch snacks. Well made coffee. Easy to stop by and treat yourself nice afternoon tea.”

“Great coffee, lots of pre made sandwiches to grab”
