Cafe coffee shop in Auckland

“I tried out the great new kitchen in Anastasis Coffee Roasters. It’s an interesting mix of Chinese/ Taiwanese, Mexican and American street food with baos, birria, fried chicken and churros on the menu. I had forgotten how good baos were and these got me back hooked with great flavours and textures. The tacos are as good as any other birria tacos I've tasted in Auckland and the fried chicken had just the right amount of spice kick and comes with dipping sauce. There's some seating inside and an outdoor area outback with string lighting. Great vibe. They are also looking to get a liquor license and other offerings in the future. The current kitchen hours different to the coffee store openings are Wednesday 11am-2pm and Thursday to Saturday 11am - 2pm, 5pm - 9pm. Definitely worth stopping by and trying out.”

“Lovely staff who came and turned the outdoor heater on beside me. He also checked how everything was halfway through the meal. The coffee was beautiful. I had eggs benny with avocado and haloumi and I would definitely have it again! Beautiful presentation and delicious. Will definitely be back!”

“Best coffee/ drink spot. Best service, they always remember our order. We've been coming here literally for years and it's still my absolute favorite place!”

“Great selection and service. Don’t be put off if it looks quiet. It not on my usual routes, but just as good as it was a year ago.”

“Great cafe. Probably the best date scone I’ve had in NZ (and I’ve had way more than my fair share). Good coffee and cinnamon brioche too. Friendly service. Nice environment with seating inside and outside.”

“Father’s Day 2025 celebration was had here, the place was bustling with diners enjoying themselves with food and drinks served by wonderful wait staff, prices are reasonable and quantity is satisfying as is the presentation and taste. We had a small wait which was acceptable, due to the number of happy clients! I would wholeheartedly recommend Cafe Lincoln for a nice friendly experience! Arthur C. Charlton west Auckland NZ”

“This café is near my workplace, and I often stop by. It gets quite busy in the mornings. I tried an Aerocano here for the first time, and the fine foam on top was delicious. Especially when the boss makes it, the foam is beautifully crafted. (For Japanese coffee lovers who prefer black coffee, I highly recommend trying it, though it’s not listed on the electronic order menu.) Aside from coffee, I also enjoy the feijoa smoothie. I only discovered feijoa after coming to New Zealand, and it’s such a delicious fruit. The staff has changed a bit over time, but they always greet me with a smile. Thank you so much, as always!”

“stopped in for dinner on our way home from watching the ALL BLACKS and i must say the owners are absolutely beautiful people, food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was so peaceful and friendly i would highly recommend the food was delicious and will definitely be back. this place is a must especially if you get into photography aswell the owners both have some awsome photography work on display on the walls and in a few published books our whanau throughly enjoyed it ❤️”

“Back again at this lovely place. They’ve got new options on the menu, and everything is so delicious. With friendly staff and a warm atmosphere, this cafe is my first choice in Browns Bay.”

“Ordered the Great Big Breakfast for brunch today. Definitely hit the spot, satisfying my hunger pains after a big gym session. Scrambled eggs (extra eggs) cooked to perfection. Breakfast sausage full of flavor, hash brown golden and crunchy. Bacon cooked just right. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The Cafe had a nice warm and homely vibe. Definitely recommend this place if your looking for somewhere nice to eat.”

“A gem of a place, super delicious coffee and incredible cakes and pastries, we wanted to try everything and got a few different bits but the caramel, pear and walnut tart was a definite stand out. We sat outside with Gus the dog and he very much enjoyed it and was very spoilt. Lovely owners and so welcoming and friendly. Thank you for having us, we will be back!”

“Cozy and busy but very good and the service can be quick if you are just getting from the cabinet. Latte was perfect. The pancakes were a delight! There was also a plate of delicious French toast but I didn't get a photo”

“I've driven past literally hundreds of times and today I finally had the pleasure of having lunch there with my wife. The atmosphere, service, food quality and cost was excellent and I will be sure at the very least to be getting my hot chocolate from there on a regular basis. We sat outside in the patio area with our puppy and enjoyed a faultless experience.”

“Favorite cafe in the area. Coffee is always good and cabinet food has never disappointed. Usually only 1 person working so expect to wait when busy, but it's worth it. Also the only place I know that has a half-caf on the menu (1 shot full caf, 1 shot decaf). Thanks for all the coffee and hugs from your giant bear!”

“I visited this fine wee establishment today while out riding my motorbike from Cambridge to Auckland and back. What can I say... the staff were so friendly and accommodating. As I'm on a rather strict diet, I didn't eat anything, but the cabinet food and food service looked so appetising and yum. The service, well the owner should be very proud of his staff, they work with purpose and a smile... loved it!! And the atmosphere was quaint rustic charm, spot on!! Not only highly recommended, but definitely a must visit again.”

“As a first time customer I was really impressed with the coffee & customer service I received from the ladies working there. I will surely return & support The Coffee Mill. Thanks for making my day. 10 STARS for the COFFEE & SERVICE! *Date 11/14/2021*”

“I'd like to express my gratitude to have such a nice cafe out there. Definitely warm and welcoming atmosphere. The value for the money is unbeatable, considering how prices have raised in the sorounding areas. I've started having medium flat whites and the size is big, price is great. Today I've eaten a nice toast with 3 ingredients of my choice and it was well made. Please note that the approach is a homemade dish, which is great. I don't tend to go to places to see MasterChef decorations to justify high prices. What I do care is flavour, quality of food and service, not to mention the price. So this is the place to go for me and I've become a regular. I'm quite surprised that this place isn't packed, but hopefully you read this and support this business.”

“Absolute gem. Happened to be in the area and needed a quick bite. The food is well prepared and tasty. Service is prompt and friendly. Definitely will be coming back when we're in the area.”

“Every steak and cheese&mince&cheese pie ive had from here has been 11/10 would go here everyday if i could”

“Superb coffee, super friendly staff and a very relaxed, clean, family friendly space for all”

“I've said it before and I'll say it again-best cafe on the North Shore! Anna has created a haven with hand picked coffee beans from around the globe, expertly roasted and carefully measured. The food is concise, with fewer options done exceptionally. The BEST ingredients and scones ever (and I've eaten them the world over-sorry Scotland!) ...caramelised cashews on top, melt in your mouth crumb and softest crystalised ginger. Love”

“If you are looking for a classic cafe style cafe then look no further, there was relief and excitement when the food arrived it was just so delis to taste that classic French toast again! The coffee was nice and overall excellent hospitality! Highly recommended.”

“I love the bears, food and drinks It’s a really cute place :) Here my brother had the big breakfast and he loved it! I drank my coffee too quickly to take a pic but it was really good! I always get a dessert here since they have traditional dulce de leche from Argentina and make everything in house ☺️”

“Really lovely bakehouse. The energy there is just awesome. Buzzing with friendly people. We started conversations with people at 4 different tables. Had lots of laughs. Hubby and me never had an experience like that in cafe before. Food was really good. Priced well for the quality and size. Not fancy foods but more like home cooked foods and even do we are foodies we still enjoyed it and went back next day and grabbed sandwich and sausage roll. Sorry no photos of those as we finished it in a hurry but sandwich was packed with tasty filling and hubby said the sausage roll was the best he ever had. So there you go. If you not sure what to try definitely grab sausage roll. Coffee was excellent. Large size came in decent large mug and was hot and delicious.”

“What a spot! My friend and I were looking for someplace new to try today and I’m so glad we found Vibe! We were impressed by the full, delicious looking cabinet. The service was excellent, and food yummy. I tried the Hokey Pokey latte and can recommend! Lots of seating too. We’ll be back :)”

“Such a lovely spot! I came in to have lunch and get a bit of work done, and I ended up staying longer than planned because I felt so good there. The staff were absolutely adorable, the tea was delicious, and there were plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options. My meal was rich and comforting, and the tart for dessert was amazing, a bit much for just me, but can’t complain about that. I’ll definitely be back, either by myself or with friends! ✨”

“I happened to discover this beautiful coffee shop when I visited VTNZ New Lynn to get a WOF for my car. The coffee, soy latte takeaway, was superb. Love to go back to taste food, perhaps a bagel. It sounds very delicious on menu. Really loved their setting & atmosphere.”

“The food is great and the service is so quick and friendly. Love the lamb here. Lunch specials are a great value for money. It’s highly consistent and the portion size is decent. It can get very busy during peak lunch hours so best to make a booking especially for a larger group. Highly recommended !”

“Had one of their award winning Steak n Cheese pies. It was everything you'd want from a pie - flakey pastry on top, soft on bottom, delicious flavours, tender steak, golden on top. Not the cheapest at $7 but definitely worththe stop if you're after a good pie.”

“Phenomenal food at excellent prices. My favourite cafe in Orewa! The grilled chicken wrap is very delicious.”
