Food establishment in Auckland

“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!

“I love this place! I've been there many times this year, and I even had my daughter’s 5th birthday party there. The staff is always friendly, and the food is amazing. Parents can enjoy a peaceful coffee while overlooking the playground, watching the kids play.”

“I recently hosted a function in the restaurant and was very impressed with the service as well as the quality. Nothing was too much to ask. The food was simply delicious! Thank you Jessica and Vincent for your hospitality.”

“Got a vegan chocolate plum cake. Highly recommend. It was so good with perfect sweetness. Doesn't taste vegan at all. Amazing quality for the price!”

“Consistently delightful experience! The pastries are divine, the bread is top-notch, and the coffee is excellent. A truly lovely spot for a morning treat or a quick lunch. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“A must visit place!!!! Best coffee ive tasted. Love the coffee aroma once you entered the store. We ordered the Boss breakfast and the pancake. They are Very generous and i have nothing to say about the presentation. To add to that, The staff are so friendly too. You also dont have to worry about the parking space.”

“Love this store . Its like a temu shop i always find items that I didn't realize I needed. It's not just a food market it offers nifty storage options at reasonable prices, bathroom items, make up, some great looking crockery with really cool designs, they have hair care, skin care , stationery, stickers and a lot more . The food market side of this shop offers great selection of items, Great pricing . Well organized shop Staff are very helpful especially the young man who has a voice made for radio.”

“Popped in very close to closing time without a booking and they kindly let us dine. We felt like something light and fresh so we got the wontons, kimchi and a couple of the salads - all the ingredients were so fresh and delicious! I have been to Blue Breeze Inn many times over the years and it has never disappointed. Yummy food, lovely atmosphere, exceptional service always. Highly recommend.”

“We really liked kind - so much, that we went there three times. We had great breakfast (pancakes and avocado on sourdough) and pastries (scones, pain au chocolate, savory muffin with caramelised onions, vegan meat pie with vegan cheese and vegan sausage roll). They also have lots of milk options available, one of them being macadamia milk which I’ve never seen before (oat tastes better in my humble opinion). They also offer “yesterday’s baked goods” at a discounted price that taste just as good. Definitely a must if you’re in Auckland!”

“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!”

“Awesome lounge, excellent food and a great wine selection. Plenty of showers without line ups. Beautiful view”

“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.”

“I was surprised to see such a huge comprehensive selection of premium fragrance here!! And the best part is that the staff didn't bother me or look over my shoulder while I shopped. I ended up choosing Le Labo Bergamote 22!”

“"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.”

“The most delicious dumplings I’ve ever had! My go-to is the sweet and spicy — absolutely perfect. Ordering online was quick and easy, and the location is super convenient with plenty of parking nearby.”

“I organised an end of year dinner for our class at Mr Tanakas tonight (13 of us). The entire process for organising the dinner was seamless and the team were so accommodating even when things changed a few times. The vibe of the restaurant was really cool, the service was awesome, the food was scrumptious and we were all full from our the $65 p/p set menu + a couple of other yummy dishes. The cocktails and wines were great and we had the pleasure of dining in the Lantern room which was such a fun vibe and included karaoke. Unfortunately we didn’t capture photos of the food. Anyhow - I’d like to thank the staff for their wonderful service tonight!! ❤️”

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

“Great local grocery store with fresh produce, good prices, and friendly service. Always well-stocked and clean. Love shopping here – makes weekly grocery runs way easier! Uncle and Auntie at checkout they both are super kind people. Stay healthy and blessed”

“During the holiday before Christmas, while traveling in New Zealand, I discovered this hidden-gem café in Auckland. The space is simple, bright, and clean, and the food is incredibly fresh and delicious. What I have to recommend most is the portion size — generous and absolutely worth the price. It’s far better than those cafés where you pay a lot and still leave hungry. If you’re traveling and happen to be hungry, make sure you stop by this café.”

“We place a weekly order for desserts and everything is always fresh and delicious. The desserts last quite some time in the refrigerator as well.”

“Fantastic café! Some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered. We were visiting from out of town with our 6-month-old, and they made us feel incredibly welcome and accommodated. Although we only stopped in for a quick drink before heading to the airport, I tried some of their recommended food, and I wasn’t disappointed. The chicken bao were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and light—not heavy like some can be. The atmosphere is stylish, modern, with a bit of an industrial vibe, which is right up my alley. Full marks to the team—thank you! We’ll definitely be back.”

“Nice atmosphere, Well priced drinks. The new caterer has good food options at great prices.”

“Staff are personable and appear happy at work. Store is very clean and has great variety of basic and gourmet food. Bakery eclipses the best cafes in town. Possibly the best supermarket in AKL”

“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.”
