I have been here many times and they are always excellent; their staff are always cool and friendly even under pressure. The coffee is always fantastic and the food is always great.- James FergusonNovember 8, 2019Great brunch menu, good service in a circus themed environment. Minute steak sandwich was awesome.
Marc VillanuevaJuly 8, 2012Had the pasta of the day. T'was the best one i've had. One of the best restaurant/cafe i've ever been. Highly recommended!!!
Shey VenturaFebruary 11, 2017I had a great time having the pasta of the day: owner is Italian so you should have it! Super cozy and cute.
Donna HendersonJune 15, 2012Fantastic meal of stir fried beef; my 8yo son loved his kids' pizza, and the raspberry cheesecake for dessert was decadent and delicious.
Karin CainDecember 21, 2011great flat white. Came back a few times just for that! Oh, and the carrot cake! It'll be my first stop next time I'm in NZ
Jonathan PedrottiSeptember 14, 2013Great cappuccino-to-go! Good service even if it was really crowded in the morning! Will definitely go back!
Awesome cafe. I come here all the time....but they can never get their latte in glasses right. It's a latte not a cappuccino!
Coffee, all food, service - all excellent. My fav Auckland cafe.
Nicola LandallFebruary 15, 2013You can book tables at the back which is good. Food very plain, cabinet filled with 6 choices of panini and not much else, not accommodating with allergies but if you like panini's youll be fine!
Janice wheresmysushiOctober 11, 2016We ordered drinks and stayed for a chat. The acoustics in the whole restaurant was very loud. The outside noise makes it difficult to enjoy the ambience.
fiona barryDecember 2, 2014Efficient service. Coffee tastes good good selection of cabinet food. Has some gluten free options.
Carmen MagarJanuary 30, 2014Not super impressed by the stir fry, but the dessert menu is very nice, especially the warm crumble.. Mmmmmm!
b00mtastikJune 27, 2012Service: Awesome. Food: Awesome. Ambience: Awesome. You have no reason, not to go.
Top notch food, but be prepared for a LONG wait when busy. Took over 30 mins to deliver a sandwich and slice of quiche that were already prepared (and then the wrong quiche). At least they refunded.
Go for a hot chocolate in a bowl and grab a slice to go with it as a relaxing thing to do after dinner.
Janice IuDecember 3, 2010This place has really good coffee!! Great place for a weekend afternoon or post-dinner gathering!
Eva BradleyMay 27, 2012OMG thought I'd enjoy a lovely cafe cup of tea and got a dirty Dilmah teabag sitting in a cup unbelievable!!
Bruno EspezzanoJanuary 23, 2011Mixed grill and a bowl of cappuccino... yummy!Great poached eggs and bacon
Barbara SheldonJuly 26, 2011
Eggs Benedict with Bacon is definitely my fav. Best barrista's gotta be the morning shifts, Jack - fast and good!!
- Kirsty ThomasMarch 1, 2011Open for a mocha until 10 pm (unlike most other Auckland cafes who seem to close at 4)
MichelleApril 9, 2011Heaps of tables down the back, don't get stuck sitting by the road. This place is huge
