Cafe in Auckland

“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.”

“Fantastic friendly customer service. Wow how positive. Good coffee. Plus lovely food options.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Akdeniz. The food was delicious, especially the kebabs, so tender and tasty! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. I’ll definitely come back again!”

“Good authentic Spanish food. We enjoyed the rich flavours in the Squid dish - main sized. Really good - recommended! The paella was rich and delicious, full of seafood and great flavours. Large serve. Good garlic and cheese bread pizza. Leafy salad with olives and feta good too! Cheap drink 3pm - 6pm 8$ wines and beers Enjoyed the Seaview from a table near the front of the restaurant. Only downside was the tables are very close - so the conversation of you and your neighbours are not private…”

“Photo doesn’t do justice. These scones were life changing lol. Sweet and one savoury. When I think of scones I think of hard dry tasteless things with butter to make it nice lol but these were so good, crispy and so balanced with the ratios of everything eg their sauces etc…Also had a smoothie and it was honestly so amazing. It was the peach and coconut. Will be coming here a lot now that I know about it!! Addictive!”

“Food is always great. Even when busy the ladies at the counter and coffee machine are cheerful and helpful. Millies seems to offer that little extra touch in food and service that make visits a pleasure. Thanks”

“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.”

“Vibes off the chart, 15 minutes here and my stress melted away. Lowfi bossa nova beats, quiet chats of happy regulars, service with a smile and the fresh beach air means I will be coming back again and again”

“Great way to surprise your dear ones. Ordered Black Forrest cake at level 4 of lockdown with delivery to St. John's. They delivered BEFORE 11am on such a busy day! Father in law was impressed and loved the cake! Support the local business! ❤️”

“Absolutely amazing food, staff were wonderful and the atmosphere was great. It was a great vibe and it seemed as if everyone knew each other. Highly recommend you try anything and everything. The best coffee we had in Auckland as well.”

“What a wonderful place! Their restaurant food is amazing, with great portion sizes! Out of all 4 pictured meals, I can’t say I have a favourite because they were all great. They also have a great selection of cabinet food. The restaurant and cabinet food is naturally a little bit pricey but I am definitely not complaining! The only thing for me was that the iced matcha was very watered down with milk, and therefore was very milky which wasn’t the best. Also all the menus online need updating! They’re really busy most of the time (we were booked in at 11am) and the wait time for our meals and drink took about an hour, but they have a sign outside warning you about the wait time during peak hours. Their service is also really good, most especially from Mike who is just lovely and extremely friendly, and Julian who is nice also very friendly. Do I even have to talk about the atmosphere? I would especially recommend booking a table outside for a nice view out back. The cafe is situated right in the park in a beautiful Homestead and has a lovely little art gallery and shop. I would 100% recommend coming here!”

“Always great food and amazing coffee! The staff are usually so lovely and make the place feel really welcoming. One of my favourite spots to stop by. ☕✨”

“Popped in to Savoury Sweet Cafe for a little sausage roll and a flat white and was very impressed. Loads of other great food in their cabinet and the parking was available right outside. Highly recommend to all. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“Everything’s just awesome. Paella and the steak pizza are so delicious! Must-order edit: enjoyed the experience so much I went for a second time in less than a week”

“Beautiful flavour and very filling. I would definitely come again. Thank you for the amazing food and excellent service”

“Lovely Team of People working here. They always make sure you have everything you need to have the best culinary experience. Can always count for this spot to relax and take it easy before starting my day.”

“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!”

“Good parking, nice decor, chill music and delicious coffee. I didn't try the food though they did have a wonderful selection available, next time huh!”

“While out and about in South Auckland, we stumbled upon The Alexander Cafe, a hidden gem tucked away in an industrial-style area of Ōtara. From the outside, it’s unassuming, but step inside, and you’ll find a relaxed, welcoming spot that’s perfect for a coffee break. We only had time for drinks, but they did not disappoint. We ordered an Iced Coffee with caramel syrup (no cream) and a Dirty Chai (chai with a shot of espresso) — both were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was laid-back, with great music that made it easy to unwind. There’s plenty of seating inside, plus outdoor options for those who prefer fresh air. The menu offers a great selection of food, with a well-stocked cabinet of tempting bites. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Alexander Cafe is definitely worth a visit!”

“This place was such a great find, amazing food, super friendly staff, and dining with views over rolling farmland made the whole experience feel extra special.”

“Recently opened and was my first visit. Amazing service and great coffee and cheaper than in the village. I will be back to try the yummy looking food! Came back for lunch. Fantastic food. Amazing shake and will definitely return.”

“What a lovely surprise as the outside is so unassuming. Comfy atmosphere with gentle background music. The food is YUM!!. We had BLT and French Toast, hot chocolate and coffee. Beautiful presentation matched the great taste. The cabinet food looks devine, will need to come back for that.”

“Really delicious iced mocha. Perfect mix of chocolate and coffee. Also the inside is really beautiful.”

“This place just re-opened last week. Their bruch options are classic and delicious. They do a very good coffee! Would recommend the Rosti Benedict with hot smoked salmon! All their pastries and cakes are fresh and made in house too. Location is beautiful, you can half a walk along the beach after your meal! The new owners are lovely and very friendly!”

“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.”

“Decent brunch place, interesting location with somewhat difficulty in parking. Clean atmosphere and a nice array of fusion brunch menu. Nice sushi, enjoyed the dish, anything including Asian twist on traditional brunch menu is always up my alley!”

“Amazing staff and amazing coffees. I went in with my team’s orders, about 8 coffees and other sweet treats. They whipped up the coffee order in minutes. And the cabinet food was delicious. They got my matcha order perfectly! Going to be regular here now. Thanks for your quick and lovely service ❤️”
