Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“Decent brunch place, interesting location with somewhat difficulty in parking. Clean atmosphere and a nice array of fusion brunch menu. Nice sushi, enjoyed the dish, anything including Asian twist on traditional brunch menu is always up my alley!”

“The real thing! Davenport deli cafe is unpretentious but feels like an old Europe cafe. The coffee (latte in a glass) was exquisite and the blueberry cheese cake one of the best I've had - Vienna move over! The setting across from the art deco Devonia bldg with a choice of sidewalk or breezy inside seating adds to the experience. Head for the cafe as soon as you get off the ferry; a three minute walk. Oh I also picked up a frittata to take away - two kinds available: ham or veggie great value or try the quiche: spinach + feta or bacon and egg.”

“Really delicious iced mocha. Perfect mix of chocolate and coffee. Also the inside is really beautiful.”

“Bought a Steak Cheese Bacon pie from here yesterday! SO YUMMY! will be making this my papakura local!”

“This little local is a hidden gem and the menu (new) is what prompted me to leave his review. New offerings which imply Grandy’s is customer first and they revel in seeing joy and engagement from their customers. The 2 new offerings that I tried were the Creamy Miso Udon and Chicken Katsu Sando and they were both full of flavour and taste. The atmosphere is chill and relaxed. Support local, especially such a precious treasure. Keep it up and many thanks to Grandy’s and Team for such great hospitality and dedication.”

“A good experience in every sense. The pies are master pieces. They even have an award. My flat white was strong enough to be one of the best”

“Flatwhite tastes perfect. They are using Roma coffee beans. I am so glad that I can have Roma coffee near my house.”

“The most authentic and delicious Mexican food places in Auckland. Can't recommend it enough.”

“I've driven past literally hundreds of times and today I finally had the pleasure of having lunch there with my wife. The atmosphere, service, food quality and cost was excellent and I will be sure at the very least to be getting my hot chocolate from there on a regular basis. We sat outside in the patio area with our puppy and enjoyed a faultless experience.”

“Fantastic friendly customer service. Wow how positive. Good coffee. Plus lovely food options.”

“Nice tasty food, great service and the owner always says hello, place is always clean too, highly recommended.”

“Great way to surprise your dear ones. Ordered Black Forrest cake at level 4 of lockdown with delivery to St. John's. They delivered BEFORE 11am on such a busy day! Father in law was impressed and loved the cake! Support the local business! ❤️”

“Absolutely amazing food, staff were wonderful and the atmosphere was great. It was a great vibe and it seemed as if everyone knew each other. Highly recommend you try anything and everything. The best coffee we had in Auckland as well.”

“A café with plenty of seating. The environment is very clean, and the staff are friendly. The freshly made food is delicious, especially the sandwich bread, which is said to be freshly made in-house every day. The coffee is rich and aromatic.”

“Good authentic Spanish food. We enjoyed the rich flavours in the Squid dish - main sized. Really good - recommended! The paella was rich and delicious, full of seafood and great flavours. Large serve. Good garlic and cheese bread pizza. Leafy salad with olives and feta good too! Cheap drink 3pm - 6pm 8$ wines and beers Enjoyed the Seaview from a table near the front of the restaurant. Only downside was the tables are very close - so the conversation of you and your neighbours are not private…”

“While out and about in South Auckland, we stumbled upon The Alexander Cafe, a hidden gem tucked away in an industrial-style area of Ōtara. From the outside, it’s unassuming, but step inside, and you’ll find a relaxed, welcoming spot that’s perfect for a coffee break. We only had time for drinks, but they did not disappoint. We ordered an Iced Coffee with caramel syrup (no cream) and a Dirty Chai (chai with a shot of espresso) — both were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was laid-back, with great music that made it easy to unwind. There’s plenty of seating inside, plus outdoor options for those who prefer fresh air. The menu offers a great selection of food, with a well-stocked cabinet of tempting bites. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Alexander Cafe is definitely worth a visit!”

“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!”

“This place was such a great find, amazing food, super friendly staff, and dining with views over rolling farmland made the whole experience feel extra special.”

“Absolutely loved our visit! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly — we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The waffle was amazing — perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavour. The real fruit ice cream was so fresh and delicious too! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a sweet treat and great service!”

“Beautiful flavour and very filling. I would definitely come again. Thank you for the amazing food and excellent service”

“What a lovely surprise as the outside is so unassuming. Comfy atmosphere with gentle background music. The food is YUM!!. We had BLT and French Toast, hot chocolate and coffee. Beautiful presentation matched the great taste. The cabinet food looks devine, will need to come back for that.”

“Delicious big breakfast! Possibly the best I’ve had on the shore! It came with everything I’d want on a breakfast with homemade baked beans, a potato rosti, perfectly cooked eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tasty sausages and just overall amazing! My friend got the smashed avomamae, panna cotta muesli and orange juice which came together as one dish, for anybody who can’t decide between sweet and savoury! Would definitely recommend KARA! Friendly table service!”

“Service at this place is provided with wise and respectful attention to detail. The people at Urban Café are friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is like a warm family reception. I love to to relax and renew, revitalizing my energy levels here.”

“Delicious pizza! Can be a bit of a wait when busy but well worth it. Great atmosphere.”

“This place just re-opened last week. Their bruch options are classic and delicious. They do a very good coffee! Would recommend the Rosti Benedict with hot smoked salmon! All their pastries and cakes are fresh and made in house too. Location is beautiful, you can half a walk along the beach after your meal! The new owners are lovely and very friendly!”

“Everything’s just awesome. Paella and the steak pizza are so delicious! Must-order edit: enjoyed the experience so much I went for a second time in less than a week”

“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.”

“I called into this lovely little restaurant for lunch when I was biking around Waiheke I had a pie, and a carrot cake and THE BEST coffee. Very sweet (I mean the cafe not the coffee).”

“I had a wonderful experience at Akdeniz. The food was delicious, especially the kebabs, so tender and tasty! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. I’ll definitely come back again!”
