Cafe & Coffee Shop & Pub in New Zealand

“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.”

“Probably the best place to go for an awesome breakfast or even just a coffee. Of course is not cheap as a lunch bar or petrol station but is 10 times better. What I really like of this place is that it even has a drive away, what makes it perfect for rainy days, cold days or even sunny days. I usually like to order a large cappuccino or mocha, can't say which one is better as both of them are made amazingly by its friendly staff :).”

“I always come to this branch as it’s close to my home. The drinks are amazing and staff are always friendly and helpful. My favourite drink is the mango cream crusty and brown sugar fresh milk. I highly recommend this place.”

“Have ordered twice now Big Breakfast on UBER EATS and I demolished it because it was so fresh, and still hot when arrived. My coffee was hot. Had to leave a review regarding my Uber Eats orders I've made and how 10/10 they were everytime. Delicious sausages and the garlic mushroom so full of flavour. Thank you for such delicious food every order.”

“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.”

“Such incredible food here! It was a busy Sunday when we went in, which meant we didn’t really get much of an ‘entrance’ welcome but that’s fine - it said counter service so we went and grabbed a table ok! Meals and coffees came out super fast even though I was bracing for a long wait - coffee was good and hot, but the breakfasts were AMAZING. I got the creamy mushrooms, my partner got the eggs Benedict. Can’t fault them!”

“I've enjoed the Uxbridge Cafe on several occasions, I find the service and coffee excellent Yesterday however, the owner Jimmy exceeded any expectations I had. Taking a break at lunchtime, my husband decided to join me so I ordered a cappuccino for him before he arrived. By the time he showed up the coffee was cold, so I asked if it could be reheated in the microwave. Without reservation, Jimmy said, "no need for that, I'll make another." I offered to pay but he wouldn't hear if it. Kudos to you...and thanks.”

“MAYA is BP Howick - she is lovely so friendly makes a mean iced latte and I hope she is looked after. Thanks Maya”

“It was my first time trying the Pepperoni and Manhattan pizzas at Sal's Pizza Takapuna, and I was impressed! The base was thin and crispy—just the way I like it—and the flavors were amazing. Their potatoe chips were delicious too! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Sal's Pizza Takapuna! You made my movie night super easy and completely fuss-free. Thanks so much!”

“Best bar in takapuna by a really long shot , I wouldn’t go anywhere else it is takapunas saviour for nightlife. Good manager good staff really affordable as well highly recommend!”

“I didn’t have food but the beers were tasty and there was a great bar man who asked where I was from and what brought me to Auckland. I said I was there for Pearl Jam and he then put a grunge/alt rock playlist on without me even requesting it. Thank you for making it a great evening and the beers were quality.”

“We had a last minute function organised for a wake. The manager, Chantelle and staff were amazing. Platters were tasty and enjoyed by all. Kids were made welcome. Highly recommend”

“Thank you to the Westie Bistro team for accommodating us at the very last minute — all 38 of us! You managed to fit us in comfortably and catered to our group so well. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the space was perfect. Your staff looked after us exceptionally, and we really appreciated there being no hidden costs, especially for a group our size. Highly recommend — thank you again for a great night!”

“If you're an Australian from a regional town you will absolutely love this little pub. Great locals, good prices and equally great atmosphere. Got very drunk and got to meet some amazing people. 10 out of 5 Stars!”

“Good Home Takanini is a fantastic place to dine. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour you can tell the chefs put real care into every plate. The portions were generous and definitely worth the price.”

“Had an amazing birthday dinner here. Both cocktails I had (Strawberry Kiss & Pink Gin Spritz) were so delicious. Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread was so yummy, and my sirloin main with truffle parmesan fries, peas, & gravy was one of the best meals I’ve had out in a while. Staff were very friendly too, & food & drinks all came out quickly (was a Monday night though!). Will definitely come back.”

“First time visiting. It was so nice to meet the previous owner who is Ara-Tai Cafe in Half Moon Bay. The atmosphere is nice and it's not too far from home, so it seems like a great place to brunch. The food is delicious and I'm planning to bring a friend.”

“Didn't have food. But the hospitality and service were brilliant. The music was great too. Highly recommend”

“Been coming here for several years now and the coffee and food is exceptional. Can't recommend it enough.”
