I love this cafe! I have tried the counter food and the kitchen food and both were great. The Omelette was huge and I couldn't finish the whole thing. The ambience is really good (although not many seats). Would have loved the place to be open for longer!
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this cafe. It has a nice cozy feel to the place (probably because there is a soft couch) with overly friendly staff. I enjoyed the coffee and food here too. I ordered a scone for $3.90, which most other places usually would for $4.5. I wasn't going to get any food but for that price why not? Oh and it was delicious!!
Love this place, it's almost like a hidden little gem for me since I would find myself here to be super relaxed when everything is busy. Food are great and very affordable prices as well. Definitely recommended.
Love this little cafe that's tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Queen Street. The staff are friendly and the decor gives it a cosy vibe.
Price is pretty good compared to other cafes around town, my friend got the chocolate brownie which she really liked but thought the flat white was a bit strange. I got a savoury brioche which had a slight kick in it from the spices.
Overall a pretty decent place to relax or meet up with a friend for coffee :)
Came in for a morning tea snack with a friend today after handing in our assignment. We walked pass this cafe in the morning on the way to uni and wanted to try it out right away.
Ended up trying out the biscotti from the cabinet. The biscotti was larger than the average ones we see at cafes. It was hard as expected but the level of sweetness was on point. The match with the prunes inside was so delicious. Really considered buying another one.
The bread that came with the soup of the day wasn't too hard to be able to eat by itself, which was good. Was also served with a slab of butter and a nice smile from the staff :)
I went there for lunch, and I had Blackstone Eggs which consisted of two pieces of sourdough, two poached eggs, fried potatoes and roasted tomatoes. I also had an iced latte. The winner for me of this cafe was definitely their poached eggs. Each one was made to perfection, and the yolks were runny enough to dip the bread into. I would definitely recommend coming to Albert Park Cafe if you were looking for a quiet place to chat or get together with friends and family.
Wow!!! Lovely place! Only negative was the feel of the place and the interior. My picture is of the nice corner, other than that the interior is not the best really. But food: wow! Loved the menu, a lot of mushroom and a lot of vegetarian options, which personally really fits me. I had the Mrs. Florentine: a bagel with poached egg, mushroom and hollandaise. Friend had mushroom toast. Both meals gets a 10/10 honestly! Coffee is also great and staff is super friendly. Would really recommend! Free WiFi as well.
Consistently good food, service and place to hang out. Love the size and the decor. Staff that are friendly, accommodating. Pure inner-city Auckland. Fab for breakfast, lunch or coffee/tea. A lovely place to e able to enjoy a meal or respite from a day of meetings, to reflect and to work.
I haven't done a review in so long but this place is practically begging for one, so here goes.
Albert Park Cafe is one of the few places I'm glad I stumbled across for multiple reasons. The cafe itself is quaint and cozy, yet it doesn't feel overcrowded but instead 'homey.' Tucked away between Lorne Street and Albert Park, this place is not often full of people and so is perfect for a quiet brunch or study session. There's free stable wifi too, which is a plus.
The food here is amazing. I haven't tried much of the cabinet food so I can't comment on those, but what they have available on the menu is definitely worth trying. In particular, I recommend the Soup of the Day (I've had Beef Goulash most of the times I come here) and the Mushrooms on Toast. For the given prices, $10.50 and $15.50 respectively, I believe you certainly get your money's worth.
The Soup of the Day comes with a delicious, hot soup which is perfect for any occasion and two slices of toast, which you can swap out for multigrain, sourdough, or bagels. The Beef Goulash is generously full of beef chunks and vegetables and is absolutely delicious. The Mushrooms on Toast comes with 2~3 slices of toast and is creamy deliciousness on a plate. They use a variety of mushrooms in it with some parmesan cheese + a poached egg which adds to its richness. I was honestly shocked at how good it was upon my first bite. I don't drink coffee anymore so I can't comment on that :)
Service here is also super friendly! Both the lady and the gentleman provide exceptional service and help to recommend dishes, which is perfect for someone as indecisive as me. You don't have to wait too long for food to arrive as well. There is also free tea that changes once in a while available. I love having the barley tea after a gym session.
Overall, I highly, highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for high quality, delicious cafe food. The cozy atmosphere and free wifi is an additional bonus, particularly for students like me who only needs stable wifi and good food to keep up studies. I really wish that this place is open for longer beyond 3pm because I could sit here all day!
Edit: Don't think they do soup anymore :( Found a new favourite menu item though! This place is just a gift that keeps on giving. Their yoghurt panna cotta with granola is absolutely delicious, and I love how the fruit changes every time I order. I get mine without the honey because I think the granola is plenty sweet already, but the panna cotta really brings the entire dish together.
Recommended: Soup of the Day [Discontinued...for now?], Mushrooms on Toast [Edit]: Panna Cotta Granola.
Lovely, friendly employees, cosy place (they provide books), delicious coffee and amazing customer service♡ I am in love with their caramel latte
Loved this cafe. Cozy place for conversation, breakfast/lunch and coffee. Friendly staff, recommend if you're in the area. The only negative was parking, not easy to find so had to park at the garage next door. We were here for a while so ended paying $55 NZD which was $35 USD otherwise would have driven for hours trying to find parking.
every bite of this brunch was DELICIOUS. I wanted more! Black stone eggs ($19.50) and a flat white. Friendly service and felt very welcoming. Definitely coming back soon!!
A warm, friendly and cozy cafe where many locals seems to frequent. It was obvious that many were return customers and the staff were friendly and familiar to them. This is usually a good sign of a beloved cafe. I too experienced exceptional service with personalized recommendations by the pastry chef himself. I had his home-made flourless chocolate brownie that had a perfect balance of texture and flavour. Prior to that I had the most divine mushrooms on toast that was served with a poached egg. The toast soaks up the garlic infused mushroom sauce and I was in gastronomic heaven. The free wifi was much appreciated too. I will definitely be heading back there cos although it is in the city, it is tucked away from the crowds and overlooks Albert Park.
Great place with friendly owners. George (his beautiful back is on the photo) is a man behind cakes, sandwiches and scones which he personally makes every morning. Jordan (his hat is on the background) is a customer service star. Coffee is one of the best around. Pay them a visit, you won’t regret. This might look like a paid review but it is not, but I’ll try to get a free coffee for it on my next visit :)
Loved loved loved the food and coffee at this chic little cafe. The guy on the counter was super sweet and very happily replaced meat with veggies as we are vegetarians. So great options are available for vegetarians as well 😇
Nice chilled place for breakfast, would highly recommend.
Great food- really tasty. Coffee also good.
Little cozy place. The omelette in skillet are really good. Good coffee too. Would come back again if around the Albert park.
Excellent coffee, great selection of healthy food. Friendly staff. Convenient to CBD, Albert Park and Auckland Art Gallery.
We’d just landed and needed a filling breakfast, this certainly did the trick. Beautiful place with outdoor seating option. Omelette was good, just wish it was less oil-heavy.
Outstanding. Scones were awesome, great coffee. Nice atmosphere.
