Friendly staff, good variety of food options, coffee was nice and so were food. nice place for coffee catchups...we enjoyed our time there . they also have deck on back, you can sit there and enjoy the sun
Staff was kind. Food was pretty good and yummy. Bit more on the pricier side though considering portion size. Cafe is very cute inside and out.
Friendly staffs, coffee was ok, food was ok as well.Nice place to visit with your pet as they have lots of outside seating, they also provide a little treat for your pets

Not bad!
First off, the menu here is a lot larger than what you see on Zomato. They have some 'express/special' items that include smaller portions of regular menu items.
We came here for brunch and it was fairly busy, but we were quickly seated and given menus + water. Altar Cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating - indoors was nicely spacious and well decorated.
We were asked for our drink order first (almost a little too quickly) and later for our food order.
Pineapple juice was decent, but their blueberry white tea didn't really taste like actual blueberry but rather chemically.
We ordered a small portion of the Creamy Mushrooms, and a Smoked Salmon w/ Mashed Potatoes (as pictured).
The Creamy Mushrooms were a little disappointing - Turkish pide isn't necessarily the best bread to go with it, and there are pretty much no sauce which should be the best bit of the dish! The mushrooms themselves did taste really good though, so more sauce would be really nice. But at $11, it was a pretty good deal.
The Smoked Salmon was nice with a generous serving of mashed potatoes - the lemon was a nice addition to everything. Mashed potatoes were great as it was still a little chunky!
Overall a pleasant dining experience. We may be back to try some other stuff on the menu (waffles sound so good) in the near future :)
After a red-eye flight from Perth, my wife and I were hanging out for breakfast and good coffee, and the Altar Cafe fit the bill very well. They offer $10 light breakfast specials which are very good value, plus larger offerings for the more peckish. The cabinet food is all made in house, and looked super tempting! Great coffee hit the caffeine spot square in the eyes, and we left ready to carry on our busy day ahead. Helpful and friendly service, great value for money food, and satisfying coffees = 4.5/5
The owners are super sweet and willing to accommodate your every need, quite good food served and presented nicely and cleanly. Really like that they accommodate for dogs outside with a water bowl and some little treats will be back with my furry friend.
Been here twice now
As it was very good
A unique and superb space
Parking is pretty good
Service only average
Good food options
I had the lovely but small Mince on toasted with a poached egg
Nice OJ and long black
Shall try it again
Amazing selection of food to choose from. I had the waffles with a side of bacon and my partner had the breakfast wrap with hash browns on the side. Service was fast and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely come back again ☺️
Came in today for lunch for the first time.
Banana walnut waffles were delicious. The waffles were not too thick or too thin and the outer layer was crispy while the inside was soft. The right amount of maple syrup was poured on. Walnuts were caramelized and bananas worked well with them. Pasta of the day was extremely creamy. Mushrooms were tender. Hazelnut chocolate was rich but no marshmallows were served with the hot beverage.
Would go again to try the cabinet food.
Went there for breakfast with friends today, Even though it was quite busy, the staff were still very attentive and the food was so delicious.
Overall a great cafe. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Pet-friendly and there is free wifi. The atmosphere is cozy as well. I ordered an Omelette and it's pretty good.
Beautiful chill environment with good coffee and food. Highly recommend Hazelnut Mocha and Seafood Risotto, and both are super delicious! Lamb shank's a bit dry but potato rosti is crispy and yum. Chocolate Moussecake is soft but of not much taste. Food is of small portion and pricy, but good service though.
Very great atmosphere. Reasonable prices and great flavours. The service is very attentive. Highly recommend the rosti stack. Would come more often.
Really friendly service, staffs fast and very helpful. Nice environment with unique decorations. Recommend the seafood risotto and pork belly. Blueberry white tea taste really refreshing too.
Business meeting. Food is expensive and my meeting business partner struggled to be understood that he wanted a big breakfast but vege instead of meat choice s. Hilariously he ended up with scrambled eggs on toast with extra hash browns. I stuck to the classic bene. We had cake. Coffee was divine.
Good restaurant with nice service, like the seafood risotto very much. Highly recommended.
all services are really good, staffs are friendly and the environment is comfortable. love the muffin and the coffee here!!
Love the coffee and atmosphere here, kind service and good food :) Highly recommend to everyone ~
Just moved back to Auckland, first cafe i've visited in mt eden. Food was lovely, loads of choices off the menu and plenty of cabinet food too. Had their small portion mushroom, very tasty, good portion and very reasonable price. Staff were friendly and attentive.
More cafe's should do a smaller version of their breakfast options, really appreciated having the option if you're not super hungry for a massive meal. The cauli fritters were really yum and a great healthy choice that leaves you completely satisfied :) great spot 👍
