Coffee house in Auckland

“Food was delicious and a very good portion for the price. The owners are lovely and the overall experience was very relaxing.”

“Really understated cafe and we saw of just stumbled across it this morning. They have three different coffee beans to choose from which works a lot better than the 10 different coffee types to drink (which all kinda taste the same). The coffee is amazing! My partner had a mocha which he said was the best coffee he'd had all year. I had a cappuccino which was perfection. There's a few options for food from the cabinet but it's just what's in the cabinet, which was fine. When we were there, they had filled bagels, filled croissants and a few sweet treats. We shared a salmon bagel and a ham bagel and they both were really good. The combination worked well and ours was toasted to perfection. So really, a winning breakfast for feeling miserable days! The backroom was something grand! When you walk in, there's all these musical instruments to play on (a few needing tuning) but there were percussion instruments, wind instruments, guitars, ukulele, and things I dont know the name of! They were also stacks of those old lead based books, along with paperbacks. So many different styles of writing and all inviting. Peculiar items like chess boards ( you have to see it to understand its peculiarity) and niknaks too. The service was very friendly and kind! The cafe doesn't look like it has it's own allocated parking but there was plenty of street parking.”

“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.”

“Easily the best burgers.... friendly down to earth owners.... I reccomend the chicken burger but the beef burger is just as delicious.... one of my favorite places to stop”

“Great local. Good coffee and vibe. Excellent service and so dog friendly”

“Superb Coffee! Didnt eat, just had amazing coffee. So good, i returned the following day for more - as it was such a damn fine cup of coffee! Will try a lil something to eat next time Im passing..”

“Cute place, cozy vibe. Great coffee and friendly staff. Will come back!☺️☺️”

“This cafe was the place to be on a beaut Sunday morning. The outdoor tables are perfect for soaking up the morning sun.”

“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!!”

“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”

“Best coffee at a reasonable price grab one before you get on the train at Britomart fantastic affordable food too .”

“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.”

“Harsh and the team are awesome. They even remember what coffee I have. Always friendly and helpful and the coffee is great. Highly recommend.”

“literally the cutest cafe i have ever been to in my LIFE the shaved ice is like unbelievably delicious and everything else looks so good too the staff are kind, friendly and welcoming i 100% recommend you come here !”

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

“Wandered in after browsing around the market today. Never been here before, but will definitely be going back again next time we’re out this way. The food was fabulous. Loved our meals; cheese omelette, mushroom croque and beef dish. Coffee was full-bodied. Big pot of tea for my mother in law (made her very happy) and the banana milkshake was fresh and yummy. Service was faultless. The couple on the table next to us were “complimentary regulars”. Perfect experience, thank you. 10/10 :-)”

“The staff at Hello Stranger are so friendly and helpful, every single staff member I’ve encountered is so kind and attentive. They make you want to go back! The food is delish! Bacon Eggs Bene and French Toast are my top picks but it’s all yum!! Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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. ☕✨”

“2025: Another dine-in visit to Beaufort & Co in Oteha, and nearly a year later, the experience is still top class. Special mention to Olga—your warm manner and attention to customer care were truly appreciated. When we realised we’d missed out on one of the special doughnuts of the day (caramel gingerbread), Olga kindly arranged with the chef to create some alternative options for our takeaway order, going well above and beyond expectations. Huge thanks to the chef as well for making it happen. Our dine-in meals were served quickly, beautifully presented, and well-balanced in flavour. Portion sizes were just right, and our hot drinks were absolutely delicious. The takeaway packaging is next-level—loved the clear window so you can peek at what's inside. My friend said the scone was one of the yummiest she'd ever had. The doughnuts were rich and satisfying, with a thick cream that held its shape well. My daughter loved her bacon hash croissant and smoked salmon bagel. The pistachio croissant had a dense texture and probably would’ve been even better warmed up at home —something to keep in mind for next time. The “everything” slice was a bit much for our palates, but if you’re into fruit and chocolate combos, it’ll likely hit the spot. Highly recommend Beaufort & Co for both dine-in and takeaway if you're after a treat for the tastebuds. 2024: We just had breakfast at Beaufort & Co, and it was a top-tier experience from start to finish. Tiramisu Dessert Shake – 5/5: Everything we'd hoped for—creamy and subtle, with excellent presentation. The lady finger added a delightful crunchy texture. Passionfruit Spritzer – 5/5: Fresh, tangy, and bursting with real passionfruit flavour. Absolutely delicious. Mochaccino – 5/5: Perfect in flavour, temperature, and presentation. Smoked Salmon Beaufort Benne – 5/5: Faultless. Each ingredient was perfectly cooked and presented. The best Eggs Benedict we've had so far, with a perfect serving size. S'mores Waffles – 5/5: The quality and care put into this dish were evident. The waffles were crispy on the outside, light but moist on the inside. The berry compote was delicious, and the chocolate mascarpone was decadent with a smooth texture. The homemade marshmallow squares with a subtle berry jelly layer at the bottom were the cherry on top—a true chef's kiss. The service was A++, with lovely staff who made us feel welcome. The seating was comfortable, the décor clean and bright, and the music—a mix of classic hits—was the perfect way to start the day. 100% recommend this place! 2023: Amazing quality and tasty food. Excellent set up and presentation. Gets quite busy because of this but booking a table ahead of time will see you seated comfortably without any issues. They have a text line you can pre-order from (check FB) and an excellent takeaway service too.”

“I recently placed a review for ONE Onehunga after visiting with my wife, for brunch, she had previously been there and had a great experience...I had a less than great meal and service. In reply to that review the asked me to give them another chance..we did today. The difference was night and day, where to start....the tea was fantastic and they had sweetener ( none last time). The big breakfast ( One breakfast) was much improved, seasoned mushroom and tomatoes, great eggs, perfect lightly cooked bacon. The service was quick, polite and professional. Now the small things....there were staff cleaning, not just tables but other surfaces when not busy, fresh flowers on the tables, the owner training the staff in quite periods....very impressive. I am really pleased to have been proven wrong in regard to my previous review and thank you to the owners for their pleasant reply to that review and the conversation I had with one of the owners this morning.”

“Popped into this very sweet cafe very early in the morning! There are plenty of manly regulars popping in and out and I can see why! They have a solid menu and good vibes.”

“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.”

“What a beautiful location! We had high tea - the food, all made in house, was divine. The hot scones, made freshly for us, were light and fluffy and served with delicious jam and fresh cream. The tea was lovely, with bottomless refills of the tea pot. And there is something peaceful about looking over the garden, watching ducks and chickens foraging whilst sparrows gather for crumbs. The service was also wonderful, friendly but professional. I would thoroughly recommend a visit! N.B. There is other food apart from a high tea, and it looked wonderful!”

“Really nice place atmosphere qas really good, got the big cup and really good portions with good flavor. We used to go to Golden sands alot but this will be new breakfast place. Price $$ good for a breakfast place. Food was a really good portion and was tasty. Customer service was excellent. Only issue was the knives weren't really sharp so it struggled to cut the sour dough bread. Still great experience. Overall rating 5/5 would highly recommend.”
