Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“Have ordered twice now Big Breakfast on UBER EATS and I demolished it because it was so fresh, and still hot when arrived. My coffee was hot. Had to leave a review regarding my Uber Eats orders I've made and how 10/10 they were everytime. Delicious sausages and the garlic mushroom so full of flavour. Thank you for such delicious food every order.”

“Such incredible food here! It was a busy Sunday when we went in, which meant we didn’t really get much of an ‘entrance’ welcome but that’s fine - it said counter service so we went and grabbed a table ok! Meals and coffees came out super fast even though I was bracing for a long wait - coffee was good and hot, but the breakfasts were AMAZING. I got the creamy mushrooms, my partner got the eggs Benedict. Can’t fault them!”

“MAYA is BP Howick - she is lovely so friendly makes a mean iced latte and I hope she is looked after. Thanks Maya”

“Fabulous meal at Blondie’s tonight. We have a one night stopover locally and we were recommended to try this restaurant for supper. We all thoroughly enjoyed dinner and one of the best meals we have had on our trip so far. Highly recommended.”

“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”

“I really love the vibe here, The staff are amazing to deal with and always ready to help. A perfect place to enjoy your weekend”

“Have had our work Christmas dinner here. It has been great good food and service. Nice environment. Generous portions. Cost $$. Well worth it.”

“Our family's favourite restaurant. Staff are very friendly and food are so yum. Usually no wait and they have plenty to eat. We love Mongolian BBQ.”

“Friendly people. Best fresh fish burger I’ve had in years. Super generous size and good price. ( I asked for no tomatoes) hot and crispy goodness”

“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.”

“The rice noodles are my favourite food! Like the spicy food!!! It’s not only delicious but also not expensive. The service is great! So highly recommended!”

“The ambiance here is super sympa and I do love their healthy and fresh food. A strong recommendation for those who want to enjoy a sound and warm dish before departure:)”

“Very nice dinner, it was fresh and chips were perfectly crispy. After reading reviews saying the fish was smelly it made me think that it might not be nice but the snapper we had was good.”

“It was my first time trying the Pepperoni and Manhattan pizzas at Sal's Pizza Takapuna, and I was impressed! The base was thin and crispy—just the way I like it—and the flavors were amazing. Their potatoe chips were delicious too! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Sal's Pizza Takapuna! You made my movie night super easy and completely fuss-free. Thanks so much!”

“Thai friends is one of the most authentic Thai restaurants in Auckland. They do a damn good pad Thai and a killer drunken noodles. Excellent food and excellent service. Sterling Arnet Kakapo Business Sales”

“We had our function held in this restaurant and was looked after by one of their workers named Shania. She was extremely helpful and was really patient when we communicate with her, she was also enthusiastically conversing with us. Her service made our experience in this restaurant outstanding. Shania was really fast and efficient when it comes to bringing the food on time and also taking our used plates and glasses. Thank you so much for an amazing service! We will definitely choose to eat here again when we have another function or even just to eat in here.”

“The food was absolutely delicious! The chicken salad was especially tasty, the pork ribs were full of flavor, and my kids loved the jerk chicken burger. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“The frozen cocktail was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start the evening. The beef salad was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully balanced with crunchy noodles and a tasty dressing. We finished off with the sorbet dessert that was light and refreshing. Great atmosphere and friendly service.”

“Best bar in takapuna by a really long shot , I wouldn’t go anywhere else it is takapunas saviour for nightlife. Good manager good staff really affordable as well highly recommend!”

“A random stop with my sister n law who was visiting from Melbourne. Had a lovely breky & coffee, very well priced & great service.”

“Awesome friendly service, amazing ribs, great beer selection, awesome view, what more can one ask for!!”

“An all time favourite. Always an amazing choice of foods that never fail to please in both size and flavour. I've heard there are other branches of Kreem but there is something special about the location on Universal Drive.... I'll be back”

“I didn’t have food but the beers were tasty and there was a great bar man who asked where I was from and what brought me to Auckland. I said I was there for Pearl Jam and he then put a grunge/alt rock playlist on without me even requesting it. Thank you for making it a great evening and the beers were quality.”

“I ordered the chicken burger and the steak, and both were absolutely delicious. The chicken burger was fresh, filling, and beautifully put together — a crispy, flavourful chicken fillet in a soft bun with fresh lettuce, served with hot, perfectly cooked fries on the side. Simple, comforting, and very satisfying. The steak was cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and full of flavour. It came with smooth, creamy mash, fresh vegetables, and a rich gravy that brought everything together so well. The portion size was generous, and the balance on the plate was spot on. Everything tasted fresh, well prepared, and thoughtfully cooked. A really enjoyable meal overall, and I would happily order both dishes again.”

“Delicious BBQ pork spare ribs and Steaks. Good atmosphere for relax or for groups who watching rugby online with big screen. Excellent and Recommended”

“Thank you to the Westie Bistro team for accommodating us at the very last minute — all 38 of us! You managed to fit us in comfortably and catered to our group so well. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the space was perfect. Your staff looked after us exceptionally, and we really appreciated there being no hidden costs, especially for a group our size. Highly recommend — thank you again for a great night!”

“cutest cafe! not a long wait! lots of variety for brunch and has bakery options & coffee & superfood lattes, parking isnt too bad either, staff is super nice & nice for photos and pretty decor”

“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.”
