Cafe coffee shop in Auckland

“Beautiful plate of french toast and hands down one of the all time favourite of mine, the prawn and scallops. If you love prawns and sweet creamy corn taste, it’s a must try. Staffs are friendly and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks.”

“This was our first stop after landing in New Zealand, and it set a great tone for the trip. The space has a relaxed, stylish atmosphere, filled with greenery—including an impressive tree right in the center—that makes it feel warm and inviting. We ordered the pork banh mi and a cà phê sữa đá. The banh mi stood out for its flavorful pâté and excellent house chili, both of which added real depth to the sandwich. The coffee was brewed with a traditional phin filter, which I appreciated, though the overall flavor didn’t quite come together for me. Even so, the visit was a memorable and enjoyable introduction to New Zealand’s food scene.”

“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”

“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!”

“Strong and Nice Cold brew coffee Salmon cuiche was nice Wahyu beef and cheese pie was delicious!!!”

“"An exceptional experience from start to finish. The environment is beautifully maintained, with warm and professional staff who made us feel truly welcomed. Onsite amenities such as clean restroom facilities and generous rear parking add to the convenience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable visit."”

“Rotana is hands down one of the best restaurants in Auckland. The food is consistently incredible — full of flavour, fresh, and always beautifully presented. Their shisha is easily some of the best you’ll find, and the staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Every visit feels like a taste of home and a reminder of true Middle Eastern hospitality. Highly recommend!”

“A hidden gem! The service was warm and attentive, and the food—absolutely exquisite. Hands down, the best kebab meals we’ve ever tasted. Every bite was packed with flavour, and the presentation was just as impressive. Highly recommend.”

“Hands down my most favourite coffee place in Northshore now. I tried it for the first time yesterday and let me tell you it is not gonna be the last. Definitely gonna try food as well the next time I am there. Staff is super friendly and smiles on their faces are contageous!”

“Great coffee, location and service. Good to be able to park close by and not need to jostle, queue or fight for a table to enjoy your coffee”

“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!”

“We came here three times during our stay in Auckland, and each time the food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and homey, and the owner was so sweet and welcoming. Dreamers is a neighborhood gem.”

“Wow. We came here right after we landed in New Zealand from the United States. The staff made us feel so welcome and recommended the best food ever. We got the egg Benedict and the burrito and it was so incredibly delicious. They even gave us special little pastry treats for our travels. So kind, so delicious — 11 out of 10 !”

“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!”

“Nice coffees, decent price & kind staff. That's all I need !!”

“Yummy drinks and great customer service! Recommend the Cold Brew Martini and the Sunshine Spritz if you are feeling fruity.”

“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 ❤️”

“The staff here are what truly make this place shine. So friendly, so accommodating and genuinely lovely human beings. The owner even came out of the cafe to help two older people out of their car and he walked them to their seat inside. Absolutely amazing and would definitely come back!!”

“First time visiting this place while in town, and I’m so glad I did! The smoothies were incredibly delicious, probably the best I’ve had in a long time. The cheese scones were just as amazing, perfectly fresh, and flavorful. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!”

“Love Manna cafe beside Jets for our morning coffee after a gym workout. Lovely spot to sit in the sunshine outside - dog friendly also. Jay is fantastic - great customer service, knows all his regulars. Lovely vibe inside with amazing plants and nick knacks to purchase as well as yummy eats. Come on in and check it out.”

“Amazing coffee and brunch. Super nice service.”

“Awesome coffee, wonderful team.”

“Nice unassuming cafe in the middle of Manurewa. Friendly staff, coffee was good, had eggs bene which was good. Tidy and a good feel. Counter food and standard menu items available. Playing the Breeze which is nice soft background music. Overall they've got it right in my opinion. Would recommend, and happily return”

“Delicious food (both from the kitchen and the cabinet) and drinks, and friendly and welcoming service. It's a quiet place to do your work, and there's plenty of parking space. Definitely recommend and would come back again!”

“Stunning little slice of tasteful treasure and caffeine. My croissant is still warm and divine. My coffee strong and hot. My new favorite space for good coffee a little tasty treat and super nice seating area. Prices are also well done. Keep it up N's Cafe.”

“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.”

“Had the wonton soup and noodles. Wontons were made from decent sized prawns and lean pork meat with hardly any fatty bits that you see in some other places. Owners are so friendly and genuine. You can see many regulars popping in and being cheerfully greeted. While I didn't eat the sandwiches, I will next time round as they looked substantial with a ton of filling and well priced, too. Will definitely return.”

“We came here from the Google reviews and we were not disappointed! Great value tasty breakfast and lovely service in a modern clean cafe.”

“Popular place to get your coffee fix. Wouldn't hesitate to come back as coffees were great.”

“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.”
