Coffee house in Auckland

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

“Had dinner here recently. The place was spacious, pleasantly decorated and warmly lighted. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was tasty with a reasonable serving. If you are in the area and would like to have a taste of Mediterranean, this restaurant is recommended.”

“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.”

“Love this place! You have a choice to eat inside and outside. The people are friendly, professional and always genuine when they come around to collect plates etc. The food was amazing!! Looked and tasted delicious. We will be coming again for sure.”

“The fact someone can rate this place a 1 star is beyond me. A great local business. Food is amazing and love the atmosphere feels like a home. Staff are friendly. Definitely recommend.”

“Nestled in beautiful surrounds . A lovely view of the sky tower and sun dawning on the new day . I'm here at 8 am , very peaceful, gentle sunshine streaming in . A beautiful start to the day with coffee and lovely surroundings.”

“Great place for a relaxed coffee ☕ Had a flat white and it was marvelous. They have a very pleasant garden inside, but it got a bit too hot, so I moved to another side - perfect for people watching. And they have a free WiFi”

“The food was wonderful and the view was beauiful (specially on a sunny day).”

“All the staff are very friendly and welcoming and take their jobs seriously. The place is clean, tidy and has a great atmosphere. I usually eat in the separate area upstairs which is a more quieter , away from the hustle and bustle. Also there is a great little spot for young children to play while you eat. Their french toast dish is presented beautifully and very satisfying as it comes with bacon as well. Our favourite is the potato hash, it's a very generously sized dish with varying textures and tasty complementary flavours. Their blueberry cheesecake is the perfect balance of real fruit, textures and richness and flavour. With amazing customer service to boot - This is a Onehunga Gem!”

“One of the best pies I've had in a long time. Beef bacon and cheese. The must bacon I've ever had in a pie and it actually has cheese... Not a sprinkle of. The steak potato top pie was also outstanding.”

“Quite likely the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had. Incredible service, atmosphere was beautiful and presentation was 11/10. Will 100% be back because the cabinet food looked unreal! A great example of a hospo venue nailing all bases.”

“"I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Stone Cow Cafe and was delighted to find out that they offer art classes! For only $60, you can enjoy a drink of your choice while getting creative with the art supplies provided. The art pieces that adorned the walls added to the already inviting and creative atmosphere. The service was fantastic, and the food was delicious. It's great to see a local business that not only offers great food and service but also promotes the arts in the community. I highly recommend checking out The Stone Cow Cafe for a fun and unique experience. Let's support local businesses that offer creative and engaging activities for our community. Five stars from me!

“What a magic way to start your day. On the brink of summer, with the sun just rising, sitting with a tulip cup of perfectly brewed caffeine goodness, watching the workday week crowd hustle and the rest, actively relax. Happiness is a spot on the deck, people watching and sitting with friends appreciating where you are. The staff, attentive and friendly, the food, pricey but worth it.”

“This is an establishment on K Rd. And there is a reason for that. Their prices are reasonable. The food is tasty with generous portions. Most of all the staff are super nice and helpful!”

“Really enjoyed our breakfast here, the eggs bene with fried chicken is definitely worth it. Service was fast and kind. Would definitely come back. The coffee was nice too, really good presentation.”

“"5 stars, hands down! I had the most amazing eggs Benedict for brunch, and the homemade hollandaise sauce was the icing on the cake. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with plenty of seating upstairs and a charming courtyard area. We can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes!"”

“HALF & HALF - Recommended dish here. The dish comprises of half balsamic mushrooms & half scrambled eggs, along with two slices of delicious toasted sourdough. The balsamic seasoning of the mushroom was perfect and the scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection. Also the eggs were not seasoned, allowing me to adjust the seasoning to my taste. The staff were friendly and the service time was reasonable given how busy the place was. There is extra seating upstairs along with alot of outdoor seating, including the tables in front of the restaurant next door. Great to take in some sun rays and enjoy. In summary, they deliver staple food to a high standard in a great wee spot on Ponsonby. Will be back again!”

“Great staff. They already know the coffee orders when I walk in! This is the go to Cafe if you are in the area! Great coffee and they make all their own food in the displays which is delicious. The Chicken and Bacon burger is a great choice.”

“Food was great! It’s a good fusion of Japanese and kiwi food. Staff are accommodating. Enough parking spaces.”

“Awesome place, the food is amazing and people who work there are really nice. Also the atmosphere and decoration is soooo beautiful. I'll definitely go again.”

“How much do we love coming here once a week. Food is always delicious. However we come to catch up with Ming and Jessica. Who always greet every customer with such warm smiles and are always happy to see you. Love catching up with the regulars too.”

“I've been a regular since the Parnell branch, and personally I think it's one of the top 3 coffee spots in New Zealand. Their managers are incredibly friendly. It's also great to see that the other staff are always smiling and working with a positive attitude. Have a great month, and cheers.”

“Fantastic place, excellent service love coming here every week and grabbing a delicious breakfast for the family and of course a coffee. Thanks again”

“Great lunch spot right by Kmart. The interior is very nice and felt comfortable even if they are busy. The cabinet selection was great and very enticing, and it was absolutely worth it as we tried their caramel slice which had a great balance of sweetness and texture. The classic eggs Benedict was great too and was equally impressed with the portion size for the corn fritters. Update: tried the cabinet food and was not surprised that it was good too. Fairly complex flavour for cabinet food and I especially enjoyed the chilli scramble bap. Will definitely be keen to come back and try more of the menu.”

“Really enjoyed my visit here today. Lovely staff, faultless service, and my iced latte hit all the right notes. As Arnold Schwarzenegger famously once said in The Terminator…..I’ll be back Hamish Dorrington Kakapo Business Sales”

“Lovely to pop into Hancocks cafe is morning for a late coffee and treat. The cafe was quite busy, however the staff were still super friendly and greeted me right away. Had a delicious apple strudel (treat yourself) and a ice coffee - was great. Would highly recommend! Jess, Hospitality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales”

“What a great café!! I came to brunch at 9 am during the week and it was pretty calm. I sat on the terrace overlooking the countryside and it was very pleasant. I tried the lamb omelet, which I highly recommend. It was excellent, cooked to perfection, and the portions are very generous! What's more, the staff are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The Sin in a bun fully deserves its reputation, you have got to try it!! I was full after the lamb omelette but it was definitely worth ordering a dessert.”

“Came in here with my daughter today at a very busy period. Luvia made us bubble teas. Three different ones and all of them were so amazing. We have coming here as regulars pretty much every week once or twice for the last 2-3 years but today’s bubble teas were one of the best one we have had. Amazing job Luvia!!”
