Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“I've been there a few times a couple years ago until The Light Horse closed down. This used to be The Light Horse. Good location from my place. Food is still good. But How sad it is that they don't open on weekend. I hope they open on weekend. Will be back with friends.”

“This is a fantastic spot! I love the decor and the food. I ordered the rump steak, which was delicious. My partner enjoyed the vegetarian pasta, and my dad and mum both loved their dishes: the eye fillet melted in his mouth, and the crumbed chicken was delicious too. Service was excellent also. Will definitely go back, thanks again.”

“Ate here three times over the course of my weekend stay. Absolutely fantastic experience each time with both food and service.”

“Great customer service and food is always fresh and tasty! Love the chicken rice with fried egg! Sorry I’m so hungry already taken a bite!”

“Food here is amazing and decently sided and priced. I love their french toast in particular. Always easy to get a table and the tables are kept clean and clear. Food comes out quickly and staff are super friendly”

“I’ve had lunch a few times here recently (my apartment is a few hundred metres away). Both times the food has been good quality cafe-style fare, and prices are reasonable for the post-COVID environment. I like the place and food and expect to eat here two to three times a fortnight. Happy to recommend to locals, people visiting Central Park for business, and anyone else who doesn’t have small noisy offspring.”

“We flew in from Wellington. The place is so clean and the staff were busy keeping it that way regularly tidying and cleaning. So efficient. I had the Teriyaki Chicken panini toasted. It was absolutely delicious and fresh, and perfectly toasted. So yummy, the flavors were so good. My daughter had a breakfast Muffin, equally divine. We were served by Katlyn who made our Mochas. Best Mocha I have ever had. Done to perfection. Highly recommend.”

“Came here for opening on Saturday and we were blown away by the experience! Very happy with what Bruce and Leanne have done and an absolute testament to you both! Friendly service, food quality was excellent - drinks prices even more so too!”

“I had my 21st birthday party at Stonefields Public House and it was absolutely amazing! When I started planning months ago, the staff were so friendly and helpful when I came in to ask about hosting a 21st. The function space on the terrace was beautiful and could fit a large number of people. Their minimum spend for functions was so reasonable. I organised the catering and logistics over email, and they were so helpful and made the process of selecting food and drinks so easy. On the night they were so amazing, they helped us set up the space, the service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the drinks were amazing. We had our own bar in the space which was so cute. They were so accommodating with what we wanted. I made a playlist that they played over the speakers in the function space, and set up a photo slideshow to show on the TVs in the space as well. Honestly, I had the best 21st ever and they are the reason for it! 6 stars out of 5!!!”

“The food here is amazing and my favourite dish was the crispy wonton, very flavorful! Love the cosy and warm ambience. The servers were friendly. Happy customer and will definitely be back again!”

“Me and my fiance always come here quite often because of how delicious and amusing their food is! Their service is quick, straight to the point and top notch, I must say that one of their staff by the name of Zahraa has been an amazing team member and has shown her speedy and outstanding mind service, she is really what this establishment is all about! As for the establishment itself, it is clean and tidy and has many decent friendly customers who do interact with each other without causing any scene or problems. Overall, thanks for the decent food, service and to Zahraa for making it even better! I do apologize for not adding the remainder of the food we had but you must try!!!”

“I've been a regular at this cafe for a while now, and it continues to impress. The staff are friendly, personable, and always professional. It's the kind of place where being a regular feels genuinely appreciated. The cabinet food is my usual go to, always fresh and tasty. I particularly enjoy the beef pide and toasted banana loaf, but the cooked menu holds up just as well. Coffee is consistently enjoyable, which is something I value. The atmosphere is a good balance of enough background conversation to feel lively, but not too noisy to chat or get work done. The interior is clean and attractive, highly recommended for both catching up with others or solo work over a coffee. Particular shout out to the front of house staff, as it can get quite busy here at peak times but they work together like a well oiled machine.”

“The food was served hot, and we ordered the Hungry Bowl and Chicken Karaage Burger from their menu. Absolutely loved the food! I highly recommend anyone visiting Mission Bay Beach to stop by this café for a bite. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.”

“Below review written by a 14 year old that I mentor: Have you ever wanted to go to an American Diner? But you can't because you're in New Zealand? Well you're in luck! Bald Eagle Diner has the best food known to Mission Bay! With their cheesy burgers filled with flavour and their crunchy onion rings. The prices are great! And the drinks were phenomenal, their freak shake was my favorite!”

“First time visiting here in a long time. It looked like there was only one gentleman working. It was rather busy at like 7am ish. But he greeted every customer. Thanked us for being patient. And made a great caramel flat white! A great example of multitasking and being great at his job!”

“stars all round! Excellent food, great portion sizes Brilliant service nice and chill vibes! Definitely will be back! Congrats on the new opening team!”

“Fave fish n chip shop. Never fails to provide yummy fresh fish n chips.”

“Very cool little pub, makes you feel like your in England...2 X Sirloin steak meals for $30”

“Went out with family and had an amazing time. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. Was very happy to see the menu and the new add ons of meals.”

“Loved that we landed here today for lunch. Food was delicious, only wish we were more hungry, would have chosen off the menu. What we saw coming out of the kitchen was beautifully presented and lots on the plates. The young serving team were sooo confident and welcoming, such a joy to be among. Also to their credit my, actual up to date L&L magazines. Coming back again. Thank you.”

“I had made a special request for a omelette filled with minch which they kindly accommodated and the result was divine. Highly recommend.”

“My Favorite NZ Spot: Where Every Weekend Was Magic (2000-2002) "This isn't just a place—it's a core memory! From 2000 to 2002, this was the exclusive weekend spot for my friends and me. I practically lived there and knew the whole staff; they were always so friendly and genuinely attentive. The atmosphere was super fun, and honestly, I still miss those nights! It holds so many great memories. I've already earmarked a return trip whenever I'm back in New Zealand. Can't wait to visit again!"”

“Very good butter chicken and nan bread, I just found this place yesterday and have come back the following day for some more, they were very nice and had even given me more nan then I’ve asked for, would recommend there butter chicken and white rice, and there nan bread too.”

“Food selection not that much but it’s all delicious and big portion. Their scallop wrap in bacon is a must try dish! Tried their weekly special seafood medley and they are really generous with the seafood as well. Overall very good experience, would definitely go again.”

“Just had my 40th @ Roweys. It was an amazing night for everyone. Best place I've been to in a long time. Everyone had something that they could do. Sing, play pool, table tennis or the pokies. Recommended this place to everyone!”

“Definitely recommend this place ! Best sushi of all time, my partner and I come here every week not only for the food but the amazing service from the three lovely ladies and the chef . They are always so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy, the presentation is beautiful, and you can really feel the love they put into their food . It’s become our go-to spot, definitely a 10/10 experience!”

“Nice small bar with gaming machines good spot to have a few beers and wind down”

“Had a chat with the owner, he's from Taiwan. And since I was there last year working as a teacher, we had a great conversation. He's a really decent guy and his establishment is very nice and very presentable.”

“Awesome place to go and have a cold beer. Barman Dil is awesome always has a welcoming smile. highly recommended this bar.”

“Nice pizza and super attentive service! The empty plates say it all! Myrin did a super awesome job!!”
