Cafe in Auckland

“Our local. Very nice, fresh food, pleasant and friendly staff, good coffee.... the list goes on.”

“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.”

“I called into this lovely little restaurant for lunch when I was biking around Waiheke I had a pie, and a carrot cake and THE BEST coffee. Very sweet (I mean the cafe not the coffee).”

“Had the big brekkie and my partner had the eggs on toast. Both were absolutely delicious. The baked beans that came with the big brekkie were particularly phenomenal. Matcha Latte here was great too. Great service, fast and all staff were very friendly. Also great pricing. Will definitely be back. My new brunch spot for sure!”

“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!”

“One of the best bakerys in Auckland hands down have been a loyal customer here for many years, a lovely family run business with great pricing and really tasty food they're always welcoming and friendly. I'm gutted to have to be moving out of Auckland they're 100% a community staple in my opinion and are worth trying out.”

“A café with plenty of seating. The environment is very clean, and the staff are friendly. The freshly made food is delicious, especially the sandwich bread, which is said to be freshly made in-house every day. The coffee is rich and aromatic.”

“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…”

“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. ☕✨”

“Absolutely beautiful. Found this cafe on google and next time im in auckland will be back to try more of the menu. Eggs bene on home made hash was devine! Worth the money !”

“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!”

“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!”

“There is no cafe in Auckland that can compete with these views. This is the best. We hadn't heard of it but B Cafe came up in a search for 'quiet, relaxing' cafe and it delivered on that in spades. Great coffee, delicious food and lovely owner. You should go here.”

“The burger you’ll get at Cafe Mocha is the greatest you’ll eat in your whole life. The patty seems to be homemade and delicious, and the bun is perfectly toasted but still fresh and soft. The lady that always serves at the counter is an absolute gem.”

“10/10 cafe great service from the manager, i think his name is daniel?”

“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.”

“Absolutely loved our visit! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly — we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The waffle was amazing — perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavour. The real fruit ice cream was so fresh and delicious too! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sweet treat and great service!”

“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.”

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

“Beautiful food with huge range of gluten free options. The Korean fried chicken is the best I’ve had - will be back soon. Unsure what the other recent reviews are on about - very good value and the staff clearly put a lot of effort into presentation too.”

“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.”

“Delicious big breakfast! Possibly the best I’ve had on the shore! It came with everything I’d want on a breakfast with homemade baked beans, a potato rosti, perfectly cooked eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tasty sausages and just overall amazing! My friend got the smashed avomamae, panna cotta muesli and orange juice which came together as one dish, for anybody who can’t decide between sweet and savoury! Would definitely recommend KARA! Friendly table service!”

“If this rating system would allow me to go higher I would. Excellent service, amazing coffee and superb food. There’s no full menu but with a cabinet packed with choices, you’re sure not to notice. Staff are friendly and attentive. The decor is very tasteful and made us feel as though we were at home.”

“Service at this place is provided with wise and respectful attention to detail. The people at Urban Café are friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is like a warm family reception. I love to to relax and renew, revitalizing my energy levels here.”

“Delicious pizza! Can be a bit of a wait when busy but well worth it. Great atmosphere.”

“Had and americano and avocado salmon sourdough. Coffee a little sour but the salmon avocado was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back for more very very soon as my friend just bought an apartment upstairs! Service: 5/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Drink Quality: 4/5 Environment: 4/5 Presentation: 5/5 Price per person: $15-$20”

“This place serves Western food and drinks as well as Vietnamese dishes with northern Vietnamese flavors. The food here suits my taste. Delicious! The drinks are also great. They decorate the cozy space, look neat and clean. Friendly and helpful service. Thank you! I will be back.”

“Very good coffee, friendly service, attentive staff. Straight forward menu with no issue to modify any selection. Price is very reasonable as well. Top notch.”
