Great food, cute cafe with calm and cosy atmosphere. Coffee was excellent. Four stars for service because we had to go and ask at the counter for a menu. There weren’t any available to pick up or brought to us. Chili eggs were great, decent level of spicy, but not overwhelming.

Just the loveliest place for a morning coffee! My boyfriend and I stopped here 3 days in a row last week when we were in Auckland. The ladies behind the counter are so friendly. Great place to sit with a laptop for an hour (they have wifi, just ask for the pw). It can get busy during the mid-morning coffee rush from all the corporate offices around.
