Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“The food is really good. I’ve loved everyone dish I’ve ordered here so far. The waiting time is usually 15-20 minutes so not too bad. There are quite a few bugs flying around inside however.”

“Very friendly staff, dog friendly (outside) cafe as well, ask them for a water bowl, they will provide. Been here thrice and never been disappointed with the food or the staff. Amazing, keep it up.”

“This is a great place, the food was delicious and great quality and the service from the staff was absolutely wonderful. They looked after my grandparents and made it such a comfortable and warm dining experience. We will definitely make this coffee club a regular lunch spot! Highly recommend to all to come here!”

“I recently dined here, and it was a truly delightful experience from start to finish. Yummy Food, great service and nice atmosphere. Definitely revisiting worthy.”

“Love the milk tea. The pearls were sweet, soft, and chewy. Wonderful shop. The drinks are made with love, definitely will come back to support bubble tea shops that make drinks with love.”

“Good experience today. Bought bagels last night and got home to find a small spot of mould even though they were perfectly in date. Took them back today no receipt but could tell them what time I purchased, I assume they checked cctv/logs, but they replaced with no drama and even gave me a second batch free. Well done New World”

“So this place is actually really nice. Very nice LED lights. Service is so great. Food is yummy. -Sayf 10 years old The food was good, the service was good but they have to add dumplings. 9/10. -Saleem 7 years old”

“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!"”

“Absolutely love coming here. Since finding this place, we don't go anywhere else! Lovely staff customer service, amazingly delicious drinks, just an all round amazing experience! A must try for all!”

“We visited Crystal Mountain during the week ( school term ) it is a great place with lots to offer and very unusual and interesting things to see. It boasts A Crystal Museum and store, Huge indoor play area, two cafes, carousel rides and a roller coaster, interesting animals, large dinosaur statues and more... Lots of free parking on-site . Ideal for all ages and for kids birthday parties. You get to Interact with most animals and feed them (the animal food is sold at the main entrance Cafe) The indoor play area includes 3 rides ( Carousel, teacup and train), a jumping castle plus a Massive activity area and a separate play area for toddlers Outside activities includes a train ride, roller coaster and tractor ride. The two cafes have a variety of food on their menu and is child friendly, one cafe is situated at the main entrance and the other at the indoor play area. The staff are super super kind ,friendly , interactive and helpful. We noticed a few of the staff cover alot of responsibility of the park and even with all that responsibility they still made our visit so much more fun. A huge thanks to the amazing team namely the young lady that does the train ride and sees to the animals, the young gentleman that operates the indoor rides and oversees the indoor play area and the helpful lady at the cafe who took the time to explain all that we needed to know so that we made the most of our time there. The Crystal Museum store sell so many beautiful and unusual items. Cons: The Main cafe food is substandard but cheap, we didnt try the food at the play area Cafe. When we bought our tickets on Grab One we ensured we bought the full access tickets there was no mention that during the school term week the Rollercoaster and tractor rides do not operate, we only found this out at the cafe counter when we handed our tickets in. I will definitely be going back.”

“Came here for a quick breakfast before browsing the mall. Ordered a french toast and a mocha which both didn't disappoint. The french toast tasted very fresh, flavourful and delicious while the mocha was great. The atmosphere was very welcoming as the worker at the front provided amazing customer service.”

“An amazing experience each time. The food is constantly great. The staff are welcoming and super friendly, a staff member Frankie never fails to bring a smile on ny face. Never a dull moment. Ive been coming here for years and each experience is always amazing. Highly recommend.”

“Nice and cozy place to have morning coffee and breakfast Spinach and feta scones must try !!”

“First time here trying this local pub. Was pleasantly surprised by the food we had the steak which was cooked perfectly, great sized portion and accompanied by fries and salad delicious! Good price too and cheap pints. We will definitely be back soon cheers!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Black Salt Bar & Eatery .The food was delicious, the ambience was lovely, and the service was top-notch. A special mention to Gagan, who truly made our visit exceptional. She was so caring and welcoming that it honestly felt like we were enjoying a meal at home. Her friendly nature, beautiful smile, and the way she suggested different food options made us want to keep ordering more! Overall, an excellent experience great food, friendly staff, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and genuine hospitality.”

“Connie and I came for two nights and accidentally stayed for the vibes. Somehow won a ridiculous amount of Jack Daniel’s merch (pretty sure we’re sponsored now), met absolute legends of locals, and were made to feel welcome from minute one. Food was genuinely great. Drinks flowed. The banter, however… truly terrible. World-class hospitality, bottom-tier jokes, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Left with full stomachs, new friends, and more Jack Daniel’s branding than anyone should admit to. Would 100% return.”

“Absolutely loved the all-you-can-eat ribs at The Kingslander! The ribs were tender, juicy, and packed with flavor — definitely some of the best around. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and attentive, and the whole atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Perfect spot for a casual night out with friends or family. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back again!”

“Best experience. Good customer service, wonderful catering, and good location. Owners were very friendly. Would recommend it if people are looking for catering or a venue to host events ❤️.”

“Yesterday I went to The Coffee Club on Victoria Street and tried their all-berries milkshake. It was super fresh, really tasty, and honestly so refreshing. The customer service was great too, the guy taking the order was friendly and smiling the whole time. Really nice place overall.”

“There was a very empathetic barista who worked there. I was waiting outside the shop for my ride. They haven’t opened yet but she noticed me standing outside in the cold and kindly asked me to wait inside. I was so touched by her kindness that I just had to share! Bless her!”

“Great place to grab coffee and a filling breakfast! It’s a few mins walk from the Handerson station and right next to the Waitākere Central Library. The atmosphere is relaxing, food is good, and customer service is excellent. I’ve only tried their egg benedict but their food menus also include taco, burger, croissant, sandwiches, etc. Bubble tea also look promising, will have to come back to try. The bacon is a bit too salty for my personal preference but it isn’t bad. Location, atmosphere, customer services, and reasonable price make this a 5/5 experience.”

“I like this concept of choosing your own meat, vegetables, sauces, spices, etc, and having it cooked on the big hot plate. It's pretty easy to navigate, even if it is trial and error with the combination you've made up. Separate hot food is available as are salads and other side dishes. Dessert is great, they make really good pancakes, with different sweet sauces to accompany and an assortment of ice creams and toppings. The lady serving was very accommodating and friendly. The buffet dinner was $33.90 per adult. Enjoyed our dinner here in the relaxed atmosphere and would definitely recommend Gengis Khan New Lynn.”

“Excellent food nice big portions if ur really hungry,ribs were fantastic and my partner had fish slider buns, service was amazing,book tho because it gets busy as soon as it opens”

“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.”

“Wanted somewhere close by for lunch to celebrate a couple of birthdays. Chose HQ and were not disappointed Whitebait fritter was superb as were the Fish & Chips. Service was outstanding. Will be back”

“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!”

“Fantastic Drinks, I order the 1000ml Tropical Fruit Tea and my friend the peach slushy, pleasantly surprised at the quality of the ingredients used. Highly recommend”

“The place is just a replica of BBQ nation outlet in India. First they serve you all the BBQ dishes (Unlimited) like Chicken, fish, prawn, pineapple and Kumara. They also serve fried fish and potato with sause. You can then go ahead and enjoy the buffet food which has Indian and continental dish (just one). Overall the experience was very amazing and great service. The food was delicious and restaurant beautiful ambient set up gives a very relaxed atmosphere while enjoy the soft music in background. But expensive but worth a try. Good for family and big groups. Try for Groupon voucher to get a good deal and save some bucks.”
