Rating 4. Been here a few times for lunch now & every time the food had been delicious. The lunch menu is like different variations of poke bowls mashed together. My fav so far is the Bali bowl with beef brisket. It’s a little bit pricey for lunch salads, but it’s well worth it.
This chill cafe in the CBD specialises in wholesome, organic fare and are particularly know for their salad bowls.
I ordered the Bali bowl with crispy silken tofu, which came in three thick slabs. As always, I approached the tofu skeptically, but was please to find it had a delightfully crispy crust and was surprisingly flavoursome. It was complemented nicely with the zesty yet creamy lemongrass peanut satay sauce. In the bowl was also brown sticky rice, cabbage slaw, kumara crisps in top- all which worked together nicely. My only qualm was paying $16.90 for a salad of that size felt like a bit of a rip off. 8/10
Great coffee and nice place to visit if you're feeling peckish before work. The omelette I had was made perfectly with bacon and even tomato inside it.
I ordered the coffee in a takeaway cup, and the omelette also came out in a takeaway container. Each table had disposable cutlery. I found it hard to eat the omelette as the container got in the way and it was made even harder as the cutlery wasn't very practically designed. It's good that Misters is using environmentally friendly containers but itd be nicer if these environmentally friendly containers and cutlery were practical!
First review I am writing but first time going to Misters Cafe with my friend and bowls are amazing and healthy!! I had a Mermaid Latte and it was like no latte I have tried! Very special! Is a nice place to revisit!
Great takeaway Keto! Delivery was on time, food was hot and delicious. Highly recommend this cafe and will definitely order from there again
Great, tasty food, and a welcome alternative to more traditional lunchtime fare. Mexican, Thai, Bali bowls etc full of flavour and texture. The slow cooked beef is a must try! It can be a bit noisy (hard surfaces everywhere), but it just adds to the vibe. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is a bit pricey, more so now a surcharge (2.9% at time of visit) has been introduced if paying by credit card or paywave (really!?).
I'm going to start off by saying that I have no idea why I didn't eat here ever since I discovered it more than a year ago. Misters has been my go to place for their hot drinks, particularly their almond matcha which tastes great and is worth the money you pay for it unlike many other places where you pay a large price for a tiny cup.
It happened to be the weekend of my birthday so we decided to come to Misters and experience the American express restaurant month which had them add two additional meals to their menu. We ordered one of them, the vegan burger with a kumara, quinoa and black bean party, plenty of vege and absolutely slathered with delicious vegan queso. My absolutely non-vegan boyfriend loved the taste saying that if vege burgers tasted more like this one, he may actually get them more often.
I, on the other hand, got the Morroccan Bowl with cauliflower rice and my God, the falafels that came with it had the loveliest, softest texture coupled with flavourful veges. All the flavours in the dish worked so well, the lemon 'mayo', dukkah, pomogranate... Just a burst of delight in every mouthful.
I highly recommend Misters not just for their meals and drinks but their consistent customer service. They are usually super busy around lunchtime but the smile never leaves their fave and they still have time to ask you how your day has been.
One of my absolute favourite places!! The ambience is just perfect, the service always uplifting, doesn't matter if you're taking away or eating there, you will always be treated nicely by genuinely nice people. Food is always good but sometimes the portions feel a little small and a little bit of chili as an option for some of the Asian food on the menu would be perfect. That said though, it is a haven for anyone with any allergies - if you've got more than two options, it's a treat and Misters is always a treat!! Absolute best thing though is the seasonal menu, how could you even get bored!!!
I’ve been here a couple of times now and enjoyed my meal each time! Staff are very helpful and friendly - plus the range of menu items and products available is incredible (everyone is catered for!) The food is flavourful and good quality, but because of this it is also extremely pricey particularly for the portions that you get (I almost feel like I need to order two bowls to be full!) So definitely keep price and hunger levels in mind before you visit 😊
Great place and vibes. I love how there are so many vegan and non vegan options so there’s something for everyone. Been here twice: first time I got the Thai bowl and the second time, the Moroccan bowl. I liked both of them equally. Reasonably priced too and it was nice that they use compostable packaging. One thing I would raise is that, they take down our names when we order, whether or not it’s eating in or takeaway then they bring the food to your table. I think it would be a lot easier to use table numbers? Because we were a little unsure at one point whether they got our orders right or whether they remember our faces to our names. Also, it can be pretty hard to find seats during the lunch hours, especially as a lot of the seats were for big tables. Maybe it should be more small tables that can be put together to make a big table if necessary because otherwise, I’ve seen people have to sit at the big tables with strangers, in communal style, which makes conversing a bit hard. Otherwise, great food, will definitely be back!

We "accidentally" found this place via a guide to great cafe's in Auckland. What we didn't know was that everything on the menu was free from gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. Usually when we eat out, we can only choose from 2-6 menu items. Here, we could eat absolutely anything we wanted, including desserts!!! And we could still have dairy in our coffee! Not only that, the food was SO delicious and the service was outstanding and friendly. Thank you, Misters.
Misters is an awesome place! Completely gluten and dairy free kitchen, which means if you are allergic - there is no chance you’ll be “poisoned” here. We’ve tried a few different vegan lunch bowls in here so far, none of which disappointed, especially I would like to point out the falafel, It was out of a competition - nowhere close to any other falafels I’ve tried in whole my life. Portions are not too big, take about 10 minutes for order to be made, they serve breakfast from 7 to 11 am and lunch from 11 to 3. Unfortunately no dinner, but it gets very busy at lunch time. The staff is nice and helpful. Definitely 5 starts to this place and us as a regular customers. The only thing I did not like is that all the dishes in here are single use, even if you order not take away, at least water glasses could be actual glasses but not plastic with a straw, so not environmental friendly. But otherwise, thank you very much for your great work!
I’ve wanted to visit here for a while, as I’d heard great things and it is good. Misters can be summed up as healthy and tasty. The menu is gluten and dairy free. I had eggs benedict with bacon. The hollandaise is made with olive oil and it was really tasty without being too rich. My dining companion’s french toast looked amazing and was apparently very good.
My only quibble? They use disposable plates and cutlery. It’s a bit challenging cutting through bacon with a plastic knife and the plates were a little unwieldy. Despite that, I’m keen to go back and try their lunch menu.
Lots of vegan options! The lunch bowls are amazing and the staff is very friendly. I have a nut allergy and they were double-checking if I could really eat the Moroccan Bowl. It's not a cheap place (15.90 the cheapest bowl) but it's worth every dollar. If you're looking for a cozy place to eat fresh and healthy food, go for it!
I came here every morning for breakfast during my work trip to Auckland. The food was always delicious, the staff always friendly and I always left feeling satisfied.
As a Coeliac with a dairy allergy, this place was an absolute godsend and totally worth waking up early to come to. Thank you team; I'll be back!
Pictured is the Chinese bowl from their winter menu - I had it with crispy silken tofu. It was perfectly balanced and seasoned. Although I find their lunch prices to be premium, I’ve never been disappointed as it’s always fresh and tasty. Their beef brisket is worth mentioning because it’s also delicious!
Amazing Misters Benedict brekkie - one of the best eggs benedict I’ve had. I used to think their ice mocha with hazelnut milk was one of the best too, but this morning’s wasn’t as good as I used to remember. Regardless, a great place to dine in 👌🏼
Great, healthy, fresh food, good options for all dietary requirements. Fast and friendly service. Nice ambiance. Will definitely be back!
All packaging is compostable 😀

Delicious cacao smoothie and gf/df toast with almond butter and jam! Excited to come back for lunch for more healthy yum. Here are updated menu pics, as there were some outdated items on earlier photos.
