Coffee house in Auckland

“Coffee was well prepared. Breakfast was very well balanced. Best time to go is early morning on a weekday. Only complaint...its minor...need to change the music. It was an assult on my ears.”

“We ordered the blueberry and white chocolate muffin, and it was absolutely delicious! Great mochaccino and chai latte. Beautiful and friendly service. Would go back again.”

“Lovely Service. Friendly Ambience. My Second time,eating there. First Time,the Food was Beautiful. I ordered the Same Food,Both Times. Big Breakfast,Kids Pancakes,and Kids Ribs. Ribs were a Hefty Size,as was the Amazing Big Breakfast. Pancakes were a Delight. Loved it. Thanks heaps.”

“This place is amazing. Opens up early in the e morning as required. The coffee here is amazing and the owners are really nice and accommodating. Best coffee in Northcote central.”

“MICKEY the best always make my coffee so yummmm and the team always nice to me aswell thank you”

“Very cute little cafe situated in the Wallace Art Gallery with views over the extensive gardens and out to Onehunga. Everything is local and they do their own baking; their crumpets are a must-try! Menu is quite small but there's still something for everyone. Great coffee too.”

“I’ve consistently admired the friendly yet professional service delivered by Starbucks staff across the various branches I’ve visited. Whether in New Zealand or abroad, they maintain a welcoming atmosphere and high standards, and this particular branch is no exception. Although I’ve only sampled a few beverages here, they’re the same ones I typically order, and I’m pleased to report they’re prepared with the same consistency and flavor I’ve come to expect. Cleanliness at this location is on par with other major cafés in New Zealand. One area for potential improvement is the WiFi setup. While complimentary access is appreciated, WiFi signal distribution across the store is inefficient. If you are studying or working and need to use their complementary WiFi, you may need to find good signal, which is near their office or bathroom area. This can be easily improved by relocating their modem/router, upgrading it or using a repeater.”

“Really enjoyed the carrot cake, with my flat white.”

“Good coffee and the dog likes the free dog biscuit”

“Favourite place to eat, come here once a week and they never disappoint!”

“Hubby and I ordered a Mocha and a cappuccino. I was thankful the lady taking my order was able to deliver a Mocha with less syrup than usual. The cinnamon roll was delicious as always. Service was little slower than I would expect with two staff on hand and minimal/few customers, but I'm guessing this was just an onboarding moment.”

“The snickers shake is one of the best shakes I have ever had and the donuts were delicious. The worker named Cherry is very lovely and helpful, especially because I was quite rude. I wanted to use my grab one voucher but there were no donuts, she put some aside for me the next day to pick up. I was super grateful and they were worth the wait. Thanks Cherry.”

“IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY, WALKED RIGHT IN AND JUMPED ON THE FIRST SLOT MACHINE I SAW, SLIPPED A TWENTY IN AND BOOM! JACKPOT ON THE FIRST HIT! WAS VERY HAPPY!”

“Most amazing service and the best coffee I’ve had in a long time! Came back here every morning we could; definitely recommend if you’re cashing quality food and coffee.”

“We’re regulars, and the food never disappoints, the eggs Benedict are always cooked to perfection! The team is friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely care about both their human and furry guests. If you’re a puppy owner, your dog will be treated just as well as you are. Always a pleasure to visit. Highly recommended!”

“Cheap and varied food options, cabinet and fresh food, very quick service and very tasty food. Would recommend the $11 two food choice from their hot selection, i went with Garlic potatoes and beef meatballs. Drinks are expensive but the food prices balance it out.”

“The food and coffee was great, the only complaint is we could taste onion on my French toast and my mum could taste it in her pancakes but apart from that, it was good.”

“Stopped in here to do a little work away from the office. Atmosphere was good and I liked that there was an area at the back that was tucked away for some privacy while working. The coffee and service was wonderful.”

“Staffs were very very kind.He informed to me how to top up the card and order. Beverage is perfect ♡ Thanks Happy new year”

“Enjoyed every moment of my breakfast. Coffeee was on point food just right. An old staff member has come back.. Yay..”

“The only thing I ever win playing lotto is bonus strike tickets, and on the odd occasion I go to the casino, I’m balling if I validate my parking. So imagine my shock when the lady behind the counter called my name and then said “we’re doing staff training, help yourself to one of the FREE drinks on the bench.” I picked up this fancy looking thing covered in whipped cream caramel drizzle. I still have no idea what it was but it made the latte I ordered look like a cup of instant coffee wearing a pretty dress. I haven’t been back since however as I’m nervous of disappointment. I hit the jackpot that day and it felt good to come out on top. I’d had a taste of the good life, and I don’t know if I could risk it and come out with only the coffee I paid for. But that got me thinking, Starbucks as a global company have a pretty questionable moral compass, and if they’re prepared to openly avoid paying tax in certain areas, then surely they’d have no problem with abusing their employees by firing them as soon as they’re fully trained and moving in the next lot… a barista sweatshop. 5 new part time staff to a machine, pumping out a non stop supply of free training coffees. They even use caramel drizzle to write secret messages begging for help. Unfortunately we’ve grown accustomed to the free training coffees, so we look the other way as Starbucks install anti suicide nets around the panini presses. Before you know it Starbucks is “employing” child labour and confiscating workers passports. We start to hear stories about the baristas that have completed their training being taken out the back and being recycled and turned into the self service kiosks for McDonald’s. Surely something must be done, how could we let these blatant human rights violations happen in our back yard! And then just as you’re about to speak up you realise that they’ve given you regular milk when you clearly stated that you needed almond milk. Honestly, how can you be expected to care about “alleged” misery and suffering when no one is respecting your lactose intolerance. And so you demand they make it again and pick up you’re free training coffee on your way out, pausing only briefly to scan your Starbucks loyalty card, it won’t be long now until you have enough points to go to the auctions and get your very own barista to take home…… But yeah, overall friendly staff, great service and decent coffee. Definitely worth a visit, especially if they have free training coffees.”

“This was the 1st place we had brunch after lockdown finished - was great to go out into a new place and give it a go, and we will be back to try the rest! It's definitely a step up on the old cafe - this is a Destination Cafe with a garden centre attached, rather than the traditional cheap tearooms pretending to be a cafe hidden at the back of the garden centre. Really nice layout and design - very much an "ikea Swedish" look complemented by fresh plants everywhere (as you would expect in a garden centre), with friendly service and a can-do attitude. A nice touch is that you can access directly from the road and the car park rather than having to fight your way through the retail in the garden centre. One little design issue for some customers: The flat reflective surfaces do mean a bit of noise when it's busy, so head out to the tables in the garden if you want a bit less bustle or you're hard of hearing. The Covid-19 L2 menu is a little reduced from the regular, but has all the essential brunch options, with a well crafted and fancy creamy porridge with the essential fruity and crunchy bits, terrific "big breakfast" for anyone wanting the full english, and a good Eggs Bene with the *outstanding* twist of including a zesty Spanish black bean hummus. Seriously, that black bean hummus is a star. Nice one, Kings! I hear the other stores may be updating to this style cafe soon, and look forward to it!”

“Absolutely wonderful coffee. Silky, smooth, and quick. Wonderful staff on top of that. Will be coming back!”

“Exceptional flat white. No charge for alt milk. Winning.”

“The place was clean and food was great as well. Eggs bene was freshly cooked with spinach and mushrooms just the way I like it. The front of house person did seem a unfriendly at first but she made really good coffee.”

“I've e joyed this place along with my friends familly and work colleagues for years now. Great food and deals e.g coffee toasted sand and a coffee combo ...discounted. nice dinning area.”

“To the guys and girls at Robert Harris downstairs: thank you for the great service and awesome sandwiches. The Mocha and Flat White coffees were awesome too. Keep up the good work and keep smiling!”

“If you’re visiting Newmarket Mall, definitely try their coffee — I really enjoyed it. The place was clean, and the staff were friendly. I also had their almond croissant, which was excellent. Prices are reasonable, and I’ll be coming back for lunch next time.”
