Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in Auckland

“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!”

“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.”

“This place has position, a great bar and restaurant with a locals / marina vibe. Clean and new, the menu has something for everyone. The mussels were incredible. Service is quick and attentive. Being a DB tied place, the usual selection of beer from there is on. Good wine list. If I was a local, this would be my local. It’s even got a sports screen pod which I guess is a good distraction for those that don’t want to converse. I love the bar stools at the bar too - an opportunity for this place to create a real locals vibe. Great stuff! Go here..”

“Delicious food, well presented, tasty. Good selection of beverage. Great service, friendly staff. Pane e Vino is prepared to accommodate special diets. Fresh salads, good quality cheese. Giorgio, manager, is very polite and ready to assist you. Clean premises. Clean bathroom.”

“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!"”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

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

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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!”

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

“Had a few dishes. Food and service was good. 3rd time there. Quite consistent.”

“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.”

“Exceptionally fast service and sensational food. Great atmosphere with fantastic music. Highly recommend pairing the $25 lunch special with one of their delicious Frida’s Margaritas. Use the Love Mexico app to redeem free totopos with your meal.”

“I had my 90th birthday at the Wade, and it couldn't have been better. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially our host Tye who was excellent. He really made the experience special. The surprise birthday desert was such a treat, very unexpected and most appreciated. My family and I would highly recommend having any event at the Wade.”

“Good place to watch the rugby. Food is generally good but not amazing. Jalapeno poppers are great. Service is average, most of the time I had to call someone to serve us.”

“Good local bar. Gang free, karaoke, pokies CHEAPEST BEER IN TOWN. The manager Charlie and owner is a cool guy!!”
