Restaurant in Auckland

“Today was my first time visiting this spot, and I’ve got to say the service was absolutely next-level. The place has a real cosmopolitan vibe, full of warmth and genuine hospitality. The food and coffee were packed with flavour, well beyond what I expected, and it truly makes this place a stand-out here in Takanini. Massive thanks to the team for all your hard work you’re doing an outstanding job.”

“Fast service, staff are very helpful and friendly. Good food, excellent coffee. Perfect for a warm spring morning after a nice walk.”

“Had brunch here a few weeks ago. Food was amazing! It came out pretty quickly too which is a nice change to other places.”

“Delicious cafe that has always delivered. This is very hip and trendy and so, appropriately, the flavours are huge. Everything is very well seasoned and full of personality, as well as plated beautifully. They will switch out bits of dishes to accommodate allergies. The service is quick and polite. The toilets are clean .. though almost offensively bright! The location is a very cool one with some parking. Usually plenty of space inside as it's really big. I have yet to try the cabinet food because the plated menu is so good, but it looks absolutely delicious.”

“We’ve always enjoyed dining at Garrison, but this is the first time we were served by someone as amazing as George! His positive energy and wonderful attitude truly made our experience extra special. Thank you for having such great staff!”

“Amazing little cafe with awesome coffee and service, super friendly. Thanks guys - Rory from Naked Marketing”

“A Consistently Exceptional Dining Experience I’ve been a loyal customer at Devon on the Wharf for quite some time now, and each visit reaffirms why this place is a true gem. From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home but with an elevated touch of elegance. Whether it’s for a casual meal with friends or a special celebration, this restaurant never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding. Each dish is a testament to the skill and creativity of the culinary team. I’ve tried a variety of dishes, and they never fail to impress. The flavors are always fresh, the presentations are beautiful, and the ingredients are clearly of the highest quality. But beyond the incredible food, what really sets Devon on the Wharf apart is the service, and that’s where the manager truly shines. It’s rare to find someone who not only manages with precision but also exudes a genuine passion for hospitality. He has this incredible ability to make every guest feel valued and cared for, whether they’re regulars like me or first-time visitors. Their attention to detail, calm demeanor, and willingness to go above and beyond make every visit feel special. On several occasions, I’ve witnessed him take the time to engage with guests, ensuring that their experience is nothing short of perfect. It’s clear that the success of this restaurant is due in no small part to their leadership and dedication. In a world where great service can sometimes be hit or miss, he makes every visit an absolute pleasure. Whether you’re here for the delicious food or the stellar service, I can’t recommend Devon on the Wharf enough. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back, time and time again.”

“Chill vibes, a beautiful environment, and stylish interior design. The lunch was delicious, and the service was truly outstanding. It’s a place where you can fully relax, absolutely perfect for a summer catch-up with friends.”

“Staff were great, food delicious.”

“The dumplings here are homemade, they are juicy, fresh and delicious, as are the xiao long bao. The pork belly is also a specialty here. There are an excellent variety of foods to choose from, though some dishes like the sweet and sour pork are not as tasty as from other Chinese restaurants. The service is very fast and the restaurant is clean and tidy. However the prices are quite steep without 1st table - $35 for the pork belly and $5 for a small bowl of rice.”

“Every time I’ve been to Pita House the flatbreads are fresh and tasty. They warm them for you in the oven while you wait. The herbs and spices are delicious and service is pleasant. There is also specialty and exotic grocery items to try”

“This place has great food, but it's a hole in the wall, almost literally. It opened at noon and you have to go down this long hallway with bottles hanging. You sit on rickety wooden crates, there are 3 different rooms or sections. See if you can get the one in the back it's very laid back. We tried almost Eveything, I'd say you have a hard time finding something that you don't enjoy. Try the thumbs up if you're looking for Pepsi or coke.”

“Have been a regular visitor to Brothers Beer, but this time we went for beer tasting. They do serve matching bites with each beer as well. The variety of beer they brew is always interesting. One can brew their own hops as well. The people serving were absolutely amazing, and very friendly as usual. So many vivid choices of beer, you might love some, and you probably will hate some. But the experience this place provides is unparallel. A must go for all beer lovers !!!”

“Delicious food, great location. Food is on the more expensive side but is delicious”

“I really enjoyed my time at Sierra Cafe over several visits. Try the toasted granola for breakfast, it really was scrumptious and enjoyed very much! The coffee too is good, one of the better places in the area I thought. Friendly, welcoming service and open on days some other cafes are not. Wish them much success!”

“I recently visited Boy and Bird and had the pleasure of trying their crispy chicken, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked with a golden, crispy exterior that gave way to juicy, tender meat inside. The seasoning was spot on, providing a nice balance of flavours without overpowering the natural taste of the chicken. The service was also friendly and efficient, making for a great overall dining experience. Highly recommend Boy and Bird if you’re craving some top-notch crispy chicken!”

“Friendly staff, house made food, reasonable prices and great atmosphere! I was very happy with my smoke salmon quinoa bowl with generous amount of smoke salmon, and very reasonable price for this!!”

“Great cafe. Lovely food & good coffee GAS FIRE IN WINTER- lovely & warm! 2 x Outside areas Recommended”

“With its generous layout and seating options inside and outside, this cafe provides a charming setting to enjoy your food. The amazing crew greeted us and showed exceptional care; their vibrant energy captured our attention right away. A diverse array of choices awaits you, including kitchen menu selections and beverages, highlighted by an impressive showcase of pastries and desserts up front. One should highlight the lack of trashy and shallow music, along with the ample space and cleanliness of the washrooms. Summer has arrived, and it's common to expect buzzing flies while eating; however, their conspicuous absence results from the Rentokil system fixed to the wall. All is satisfactory! Those who love food need to experience this restaurant! With two visits behind us, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming ones!”

“What a great place to escape to sit in the sun or even inside. Coffee was awesome and had chicken panini and $27 big breakfast here which was very nice too. Kids play area to top off.”

“Had the most amazing breakfast here today, it was a special for fathers day, smashed avocado with apricot baked salmon on rosti. Fantastic! Coffee was great too, highly recommend, will be back. Best breakfast I've had at a cafe for a long time. Thanks!!”

“First time dining at Kareem Cafe with my colleagues, and it exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely fantastic, and the prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other places. Plus, the menu had so many delicious options to choose from. We'll definitely be back – highly recommend!”

“Very pleasant surprise inside Mitre10. Great coffee and breakfast.”

“Went here on a whim this Saturday and the staff were so lovely! The cafe had a charming community atmosphere with really yum food and great music. Highly recommend ☺️”

“The pear French toast was incredible! And the views, aesthetics, staff and atmosphere were amazing. Such a great spot for a walk in Auckland. They catered for dietaries and intolerances. Highly recommend. @kirbystaltari”

“This is one amazing place for a good meal and some really well made cocktails. We ordered for a meat pizza and 2 cocktails. It was really well made. The waitress also helped us in selecting what to eat. Clean bathrooms.”

“Great spot on Waiheke Island. We went for a quick trip and felt hungry. We decided to give the restaurant a try and oh boy - did we made the right decision. Food was absolutely incredible. Super friendly staff and overall great experience.”

“Great food and great atmosphere. The place fulled up quickly. All the food was great. Our server could have smiled or engaged a bit more.”

“Very kind staff, gave me a heads up and a apology for the short amount of wait time. Also gave me free chips? Unheard of, definitely the best pizza hut in the shore.”
