Cafe coffee shop in Auckland

“Eaten brunch here a couple of times. Eggs bene and avo on toast. Good both times. Has become a regular stop for a coffee and cake after a dog walk. There are 2 doors, so ordering and counter food is done in the back corner. You can then walk outside to the diner and take a seat. Makes for a nice quiet area to chat while waiting for food as no coffee machine working! Dog friendly and outside seating area for firry friends.”

“Everything was spot on. The coffee was smooth and full of flavour — you could tell they take it seriously. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. It had such a good vibe, warm and friendly service.”

“We had brunch on Waitangi Day (Thursday) and absolutely loved it. For the first time, I had a smoothie that was actually better than the ones I make at home—so thank you for that! We went back on Saturday, but this time, the smoothie had noticeably more spinach, which caused it to oxidize quicker. I don’t have a picture, so you’ll have to take my word for it—it was much darker in color and less sweet. That said, the breakfast quality was just as great as the first time.”

“I recently visited this cozy café and tried their "Salmon Benny" it was an absolute delight! The dish was beautifully presented, with perfectly poached eggs nestled on a crispy, flavorful base, topped with creamy hollandaise sauce and fresh greens. The smoked salmon on the side added a rich, savory touch that paired wonderfully with the rest of the dish. The portion size was just right, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The attention to detail in both the presentation and taste truly stood out. The café itself had a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. If you're a fan of eggs Benedict or just looking for a delicious brunch spot, I highly recommend giving this place a try! I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.”

“This wonderful Café, tucked behind an old railway station that feels straight out of a Harry Potter movie, is a total gem. The cozy vibe, with its vintage decor, makes it a great spot to kick back and relax. Their food is delicious—try the sandwiches and pastries, paired with some fantastic coffee. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. Whether you’re hanging out with friends or just enjoying some quiet time, this place is perfect for a chill day. Definitely check it out!”

“Amazing cafe! The decor is cozy yet stylish, making it a perfect spot for catching up with friends. The coffee is exceptional—smooth, rich, and brewed to perfection. The food menu is equally impressive, offering a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes and tastes incredible. Also friendly and attentive staff passionate about making your experience special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a delightful experience!”

“Ordered a breakfast from Uber eats. The food was delicious. Banana smoothie was nice.”

“Visiting this store for the first time, I was super impressed with the size, taste, and filling of the steak pie. Definitely at the top of my mind next time I'm passing through and looking for a bite.”

“Lovely atmosphere and staff. We went here for lunch and got two eggs benedicts, hot chocolate and a smoothie. The hollandaise sauce tastes amazing and I was very impressed with the hash brown - the eggs and bacon were also done to perfection. And the presentation was very pretty. Nice place for a lunch date!”

“This cafe was recommended to us by a family member for superb salmon bagels. Boy were we not disappointed. I prefer cooked salmon and nothing was too much bother to lightly grill the smoked salmon. It was amazing and very generous. All our table loved everything they had, fettuccine, blat, gf french toast and two salmon bagels. We loved to cafe, friendly, wonderful ambience. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you. Absolutely loved it.”

“Excellent Don Buri I have been coming and eating her for ten years . The best coffee ever had on Lincoln Road food wonderful.”

“WOW, my 3rd visit to this establishment for celebrating birthdays and today a MOTHERS DAY high tea experience! This was outstanding, the wait staff really looked after our table despite the cheek I gave them all. The place settings and tea selection was first class, then came the delicious high tea style food plus hot savouries absolutely amazing and super delicious we managed to eat everything presented! After our feasting we all went for a stroll around the beautiful property, fantastic a wonderful place for wedding photo shoot! Oh and the venue of course. Thank you for the most enjoyable trouble free MOTHERS DAY celebration! No dishes or cleaning up required! Oh it would pay your team to water blast the signage it top front of your premises, my only fault! Arthur C. Charlton West Auckland NZ”

“I came from Australia and had visited couple of cafes and restaurants but Olaf’s experience was unique. The coffee and food is really tasty and amazing. The whole staff was so kind to me. I would say it is the best cafe in the town so far I have visited yet. The bread was fresh and delicious. The seating and outside view is also very good. Must visit with your family.”

“Been to this place for many years. Always awesome. Always satisfied. No surprise that there are always busy. On our last visit, unbeknown to us that the wait staff forgot about our food order. An observant manager spotted us looking around and checked on us. Quickly sorted the missing order. Come to apologize multiple times. We assured them that it’s all good. No problems. These things happened. The manager insisted not to charge us for the coffee. Wow. Not many managers and or restaurants would do this. 5 stars indeed.”

“Lovely unassuming little coffee house. Friendly staff, nice peaceful atmosphere. Very reasonable on the pocket.”

“Fantastic place. Fabulous food. The best granola yoghurt bowl ever. Service consistently good. Open on 2January and NO SURCHARGE”

“This place ia great. Friendly staff, lovely food and just great. Parking is what some might say is an issue but, it has plenty of options to park close enough to walk 100meters and your there, no biggie. Thank you to the fabulous team that works there, your all just great.”

“I popped in this morning while waiting for my car to be serviced down the road - staff uber-fine with me buying a coffee and setting up my laptop for a couple hours to get some study done - the blackboard menu won me over for a toastie as well - 5/5 so far as toasties go. Overall just a nice semi-rural down-to-earth welcoming vibe and I now have a cafe to visit whenever I'm in Waimauku with time to stop by.”

“Great place with friendly, accommodating, courteous and generous staff members complimented with good and yummy food. Although they don't have chips/fries, their rosti is definitely the better replacement. Very accessible being adjacent to the train station as well as having plenty of parking spaces. The public playgrounds next-door make this a great option to bring your children along.”

“Great food, felt like I was back in the Middle East. Loads of food in a eat all you can buffet.for $30. Food was fresh and tasty, was very busy but they squeezed us in on a Saturday night. It's an eat and go type place, you godforsaken the food rather than the atmosphere. Would recommend for those who love Lebanese.”

“I come here almost every morning. Great food and coffee, nice staff, kind and helpful. Pet friendly. I must say recently this Month an elder man had an episode (seizure, heart attack, I don’t know exactly what it was) and dropped all the tableware. The staff quickly gave him space and supported him. They cleaned it up the place, called the ambulance and the owner/ manager kept the old man’s company talking to him and calming him until the ambulance arrived. It’s not only a business but a great place with incredible human beings.”

“Grade A!! Nice little water front spot and prices have increased from the last time we were there few months ago. Enjoyed our meal and coffee was delicious. Parking: you’ll be lucky to get one close by, took a while to find one and nearly gave up but found one just as we were about to drive off. Ordered Salmon Eggs Benedict $28.50 Bacon Eggs Benedict $27 Ice Coffee Frappe $8 Ice Chocolate Frappe $8 Mochaccino in a bowl $7.50 And soft drinks for $3”

“Came here yesterday while running some errands early in the morning. I ordered hot chocolate and pancakes and they were so delicious. Good portion size and tasted amazing. The customer service was awesome as well. Definitely liked the quiet atmosphere, they had some gentle music playing so it felt like a relaxing morning. I’ll definitely come here again if I’m in the area”

“Wow, the food here was top notch I had the big brekkie (with creamy mushrooms) and my wife had the (half) eggs bene. We absolutely loved them! (PS the photo I took of the big brekkie had one sausage already eaten and half the rosti had been given to my wife, so didn't look as good as it could have).”

“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!”

“Owners are awesome here. Such lovely and kind ladies. Beef Benedict burger in the morning always does the trick - hot and so tasty. Awesome hot food and lunch selection, a must visit”
