“Best coffee/ drink spot. Best service, they always remember our order. We've been coming here literally for years and it's still my absolute favorite place!”

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

“As a first-time customer, I was impressed with the extensive product range and competitive prices offered by this store. The delivery service exceeded my expectations, reaching the southern end of the North Island swiftly and securely packaging my fragile items. I am undoubtedly looking forward to future shopping experiences here. I'd also like to express my thanks for the bonus item, which was a nice treat for my kids. Thank you for your outstanding service!”

“Wandered past here today and noticed the decor was really funky so popped our head in for a look. The lady was so friendly that we decided to stay for a cheeky early drink. Then had a second as was such a cool spot. Will be great when the CRL work is finished and everyone can spot this place behind the construction fences. We will definitely come back when we’re next in town.”

“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 had such a great experience at Café Fiesta! The moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly. Our food came quickly. Great coffee, delicious food, and a place where you can actually relax — we’ll definitely be back!”

“Great range of drinks, good price, and even better staff! RJ’s always got a good recommendation and they’ll make you feel like a regular in no time. Nice one!”

“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.”

“Zeki's has added new wraps (falafel, chicken, or lamb) that are larger and made fresh to order, and they are awesome! As usual, the owner is super friendly and the food and coffee are top notch. Will definitely return over and over.”

“Wow. We came here right after we landed in New Zealand from the United States. The staff made us feel so welcome and recommended the best food ever. We got the egg Benedict and the burrito and it was so incredibly delicious. They even gave us special little pastry treats for our travels. So kind, so delicious — 11 out of 10 !”

“This café is near my workplace, and I often stop by. It gets quite busy in the mornings. I tried an Aerocano here for the first time, and the fine foam on top was delicious. Especially when the boss makes it, the foam is beautifully crafted. (For Japanese coffee lovers who prefer black coffee, I highly recommend trying it, though it’s not listed on the electronic order menu.) Aside from coffee, I also enjoy the feijoa smoothie. I only discovered feijoa after coming to New Zealand, and it’s such a delicious fruit. The staff has changed a bit over time, but they always greet me with a smile. Thank you so much, as always!”

“We had an amazing experience at At 719! The food was top-notch — we ordered the 719 Big Breakfast and the Salmon Salad, and both dishes were absolutely fantastic. The Big Breakfast was generous and perfectly cooked — everything from the eggs to the crispy bacon and grilled mushrooms was spot on. The Salmon Salad was fresh, light, and bursting with flavor, beautifully balanced and plated with care. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient. You can tell they really care about quality here. Highly recommend At 719 — we’ll definitely be back.”

“Nice coffees, decent price & kind staff. That's all I need !!”

“I visited here during a visit to Auckland when I wanted some connection with the Jewish community. They were lovely and welcoming, and when I was crushed to find out there were no bagels left, Sam specially found me their very last one and gave it to me free of charge. It made me so happy at a difficult time. The bagel was amazing! Plus the pickles, bagel chips, and matzo ball soup were all fantastic. For a perfect little slice of Jewish culture and delicious food, you can’t go wrong here. Cheers Sam!”

“I'm a regular at Bin Inn Wholefoods in Stonefields, and it's always a pleasure to shop there. The prices are very reasonable, and the staff are consistently nice and helpful. I especially appreciate the opportunity to reduce my plastic usage while saving money. Highly recommend for anyone looking to do the same!”

“Tasty and decadent. If you looking to treat that sweet tooth and not quite sure what that may be... hop on over to Khaos Cartel where you're bound to find something to settle that craving. If you more of a savoury person, they cater for this too. Lovely atmosphere, vibey music and modern decor.”

“Great little place... Great waiting staff.”

“I had the distinct pleasure of eating at Di Vino Bistro for the first time. It was a most wonderful experience, the service was amazing, the food incredible and the price very reasonable.”

“Nice little place ran by a very very friendly and polite couple. Had the tom yum soup with prawn. Price is quite cheap. Overheard the gentleman at the counter telling a customer not to rush to pick-up her takeaway order when she asked to collect during their closing time (8pm). He said they will wait for her (aww).”

“I went to many Thai food places in Auckland. And this is by far my first favourite. Yummy authentic Thai food at affordable price. Kind people. I love the Kao Pad (Thai fried rice) so much. Would 100% recommend.”

“Just picked up two pizzas. Great taste, Way more nicer flavours than dominos. Sadly not much business going on. i would like to suggest trying to hand out vouchers to nearby neighbourhood and put a sign side way on top of the door. when driving pass, couldn't really see this is a pizza place. other than that, i would recommend to others. Thanks”

“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”
