Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“Friendly staff who are helpful and know their alcohol, and mixers. Food is amazing, especially the pork ribs. Clean and tidy interior, gaming area is separate from the pub, so you can enjoy your company and not hear the pokies going off. Great place overall.”

“They have Kilkenny and Guinness on tap. That alone warrants five stars. Great atmosphere and food, polite and attentive service. Highly recommend.”

“Really nice bar. I can’t comment on the night life but for a Sunday lunch it’s chill and comfortable. I was lucky enough to get a spot beside the fire to read my book. The Caesar salad is top notch and the staff seemed very friendly.”

“Beautiful family friendly pub. Great service and great prices - we took full advantage of happy hour and the kids had a blast on the old school arcade machine while we waited for our order. Delicious food.”

“Great prices and the staff we’re really nice especially the woman behind the bar”

“We had lunch here a couple days ago and it was positively lovely. The service was absolutely on point, the food was fresh, and the sunny day made the view absolutely spectacular. We ordered the sashimi plate, mussels, and scallops. The presentation on all of them was great and everything had great flavor. I would recommend this place fresh seafood overlooking the harbor!”

“First time here but man it was delicious! Scrambled eggs and grain toast was a great combo, the Rosti was crunchy and well you really can't go wrong with potato. The Vegan Chocolate Berry Cheese Cheesecake slice was the bomb. Nice ice latte hit the right spot.”

“Enjoy so much on Saturday lunch, staff are friendly and helpful, kids menu available. The moonshine sausage is nice, beef bresket is soft Buffalo wings is mild hot just right. Enjoyable seating environment.”

“Recently had my 50th birthday party here, hired the whole upstairs with a DJ. Was a fantastic evening. Plenty of food to feed 70 guests. I had a lot of people complementing the venue and food. Staff were great, no complaints. Would highly recommend as a venue.”

“I had the pleasure of visiting The Grange in Takapuna, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming environment with a modern yet relaxed atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly, attentive, and created a comfortable dining experience. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented and full of flavour. From the freshly baked focaccia with whipped ricotta and honey to the charcuterie board, the starters set a high standard. The mains were equally impressive; the creamy chicken and bacon alfredo was rich and delicious, while the market fish with squid ink risotto was refined and perfectly cooked. For vegetarians, the pumpkin risotto with truffle peas and goats’ cheese is a standout dish. The beverage selection was also excellent, offering a great variety of wines and drinks that paired nicely with the meals. Overall, The Grange delivers not only in terms of quality food and drinks but also in creating a friendly and enjoyable dining environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Takapuna.”

“Lovely friendly staff excellent food, we had beef pattie burger the brioche bun was toasted to perfection seasoned well with just the right amount of trimmings. Also had the warm brownie to follow all in all a delightful meal with warm friendly atmosphere.”

“We order the spice bag and the shepherd’s pie. The portions were good and the food was delicious”

“Has a family dinner here. Went early as had kids, plenty of tables and prompt friendly service. There was a special with certain meals two for the price of one - great deal so would definitely check the specials. Good drink selection, free car parking and food was good as well.”

“Was beautiful food Great presentation Great sized meals very generous sized loved it”

“We cycled from the city to San Heleus Bay on the weekend and found this restaurant when we got hungry. we were satisfied with the service, the fast food serving speed and the food itself. As a vegan, I seemed to have only one option: acai bowl, However, the ingredients were fresh and the taste was good, so I was still quite content. It would be even better if there were more vegan choices.”

“Great service. Great food. Wonderful night out. Thank you to the team behind the bar and in the kitchen”

“Today was my first time visiting this spot, and I’ve got to say the service was absolutely next-level. The place has a real cosmopolitan vibe, full of warmth and genuine hospitality. The food and coffee were packed with flavour, well beyond what I expected, and it truly makes this place a stand-out here in Takanini. Massive thanks to the team for all your hard work you’re doing an outstanding job.”

“Fast service, staff are very helpful and friendly. Good food, excellent coffee. Perfect for a warm spring morning after a nice walk.”

“Delicious cafe that has always delivered. This is very hip and trendy and so, appropriately, the flavours are huge. Everything is very well seasoned and full of personality, as well as plated beautifully. They will switch out bits of dishes to accommodate allergies. The service is quick and polite. The toilets are clean .. though almost offensively bright! The location is a very cool one with some parking. Usually plenty of space inside as it's really big. I have yet to try the cabinet food because the plated menu is so good, but it looks absolutely delicious.”

“The staff at The Bar made me feel like a local. Chris and AJ go above and beyond to welcome everyone. Awesome service, great atmosphere, would recommend to anyone”

“We’ve always enjoyed dining at Garrison, but this is the first time we were served by someone as amazing as George! His positive energy and wonderful attitude truly made our experience extra special. Thank you for having such great staff!”

“Amazing little cafe with awesome coffee and service, super friendly. Thanks guys - Rory from Naked Marketing”

“Stunning food. Corn fritters with the salsa were perfect and my friends salmon eggs Bene were so fresh and cooked to perfection too. Coffee was top notch .”

“Chill vibes, a beautiful environment, and stylish interior design. The lunch was delicious, and the service was truly outstanding. It’s a place where you can fully relax, absolutely perfect for a summer catch-up with friends.”

“Staff were great, food delicious.”

“The dumplings here are homemade, they are juicy, fresh and delicious, as are the xiao long bao. The pork belly is also a specialty here. There are an excellent variety of foods to choose from, though some dishes like the sweet and sour pork are not as tasty as from other Chinese restaurants. The service is very fast and the restaurant is clean and tidy. However the prices are quite steep without 1st table - $35 for the pork belly and $5 for a small bowl of rice.”

“Have known about this place for years but never had time to stop in. Well today was different and so glad we did. Welcomed in with a big hello and smiles. Immediately accommodating to our toddler by bringing over a high chair. Food was VERY well priced as well as tasty and well presented, and coffee was excellent too. Really pleased with Go Deli and will surely be going back next time. One observation: you could receive so much more business with a better sandwhich board up on Constellation drive (and get council to cut that bush back as it blocks so much of your view) and a sign similar down by Bunnings. It's a busy area but most people overlook your business as it's tucked in a corner out of view!”

“Have been a regular visitor to Brothers Beer, but this time we went for beer tasting. They do serve matching bites with each beer as well. The variety of beer they brew is always interesting. One can brew their own hops as well. The people serving were absolutely amazing, and very friendly as usual. So many vivid choices of beer, you might love some, and you probably will hate some. But the experience this place provides is unparallel. A must go for all beer lovers !!!”

“Nice place..,, good friendly service from Sam and staff, amazing selection of bangin cakes and baking, lemon meringue pie to die for, bit pricey per slice but worth it. Fresh squeezed OJ and a mean ham and cheese sammie toasted to within an inch of its life, pretty much tasty everything!! Go there!!”
