Review Alisha's Cafe - Auckland Central

Ordered this lovely mud cake. So fresh , unbelievably tasty. Can't wait to try other food at this cafe. Ordered chocolate cake today and thats even better than the mud cake. So tasty....a must try for all chocolate lovers. Ordered the Hazelnut caramel cake...which was better than the other two. No words to describe how tasty it was. Amazing. Thanks Jessica.

Such a lovely place. Good food, nice coffee and welcoming staff.

Delicious cabinet food 🥣 A spacious interior🪑🪑 Parking Available🚗

Amazing coffee/food and good customer service❣️

Friendly staff as always. Been there many times and never been disappointed. From lemon & blueberry muffins pulled pork frittata to cooked hot food to name a few, all are delicious. Lots to choose from including hit and cold drinks. Served with a smile.

Incredible donuts and cakes! Absolute gems during this lockdown. Would really recommend to anyone having family around, or simply want to treat themselves to wonderful treats and coffee! Make sure to pop in if you're in the area :)

What a gem! Only just off the beaten track. Limited parking but for my numerous visits I have always found a space. Décor is superb. Toilets are a bit funny to find as you worm your way through a communal area. Food and drinks were of the high standard that I have experienced at their other locations. Service outstanding.

This is in the Millenium complex and used to only open week days in Ellerslie but its open Saturdays until 2 now. Its off the beaten track a bit but the meals are great, the coffee is great and the cabinet cakes are amazing. The salads during the week are very popular so get in.early. There is parking outside. This place is worth a bit of extra effort to get too.

My daughter works in this vicinity and I saw the cafe and decided to go check it out.🤔 To my first impression walking in was.. this looks really cool..the lighting.. tables props atmosphere decor 🖼and then the food 🥪🥮🥧🍣. Spoilt for choice freshly baked and prepared pastries to salads and hot food. I ordered a hot chocolate ☕vege fritata and the apple custard tart. There were a number of people here as I'm assuming this is a very popular place for delicious food and service. My order was served with a delightful smile which always makes me put an xtra star rating⭐ Toilets are available ..choice of out door or indoor seating. I also noticed you can reserve a table which is really convenient. I finished and enjoyed my visit here and will be back with my business partners👥.

Great food. Came with a friend and ordered the Kung Pao chicken that was in the cabinet along with a side of hash browns. Had benjer Apple and Mango juice. Love the vibe and the setting 💕💕💕

I meet with one of my friends there every now a d then. They have good coffee and the best banana loaf I've had.

Hidden Weekend Gem... Just had a yummy breakfast and coffee. Staff friendly and helpful. Great selection of tasty kitchen meals and counter food. This is a great place to go for a weekend breakfadt or lunch.

We tried Alisha's Cafe Deli on Friday and it was absolutely delicious!!! we loved it and definetly will be back!!! Friendly service from all the girls and all the food in the glass cabinet looked amazing Only thing we didn't enjoy was the Coffee but we will still be back

Great selection of food, and vegetarian friendly. Very tasty:)

Great options for cafe food - tasty too - awesome atmosphere and great decor too!

Amazing food

Great service and wonderful food, thanks to Yany, Ella and the team.

Love the new coffee, been to Alisha's few times for lunch and took my clients there, they love the food and service as well. Its my new local. Keep it up guys!

This was one of my more recent zomato gold food adventure. I ordered the scrambled smoked salmon and my boyfriend got a BLT. Both was exceptionally delicious and in my opinion, quite value for the price that we paid. Although I don’t live in east auckland, I can definitely see myself coming back here for another awesome sunday brunch :)

Such a lovely space for me to have a coffee every work day morning, the staffs are kind and all smile, I like their chicken salad for lunch as well. Highly recommended!

Always a nice and friendly place to be, good food and nice coffee. This is not a negative review. However when stated on zomato gold that has 20% discount, yet nowhere does it say it's limited to Friday n Saturday. Please state clearly. <br/>

Superb breakfast experience - a perfect flat white coffee along with perfect prepared poached eggs!! Full marks to both the barista and the chef. Surely coming back... & highly recommend a visit👍

Cafe had all your usual brunch options and is set at a very reasonable price. Cabinet food looked really good, with lots of sweet treats to choose from. Staff was friendly.

Strategically located cafe/restaurant for a nice brunch/lunch in busy industrial area of East Tamaki. I highly recommend their beef lemongrass salad and the fettuccine carbonara from their main menus, plus their couscous salad and beef noodle from the display table.

Food and drinks arrived promptly, and cooked perfectly - so delicious! Wonderful customer service and reasonable prices 😊

Their caramel slice is huge & delicious

This place is always really busy so had to try it out, food was nice but chai latte was quite watery. Really nice place for brunch as the sun hits you in the little outdoor type area

did not enjoy this for the price just wasnt worth the visit

Nice pleasant cafe with a very relaxing environment. Food was delicious and the large coffee was super large. In my opinion, mince was slightly salty but still good. 777 breakfast was probably a the highlight. Cafe has an aesthetic cabinet

Fabulous, friendly service! Delicious Thai Fish cakes! Really nice fresh flavours. Really recommend the Chefs special Calamari with fresh salad. Highly recommended- we will be back! Thanks 😊👏

I’ve been here too many times to count as it is the best value for money! The food is to die for & the price is amazing!!! You will not regret coming here!

Great environment and atmosphere as soon as you enter. Everything is reasonably priced and there isn't a long wait on food! Blueberry pancakes were a great mix of tart and sweet, and the chorizo with potatoes was tasty and filling Will definitely be coming back!

Food is really tasty here. I get the creamy mushrooms and they have great flavour. Their coffee is great too. All the workers are very friendly and their service is prompt 🤗

Had the Pesto Portobello Mushroom - mushroom was smaller than the spinach it was served with, but still tasty. Coffee is great too. Only downside is how small the parking space is. Friendly staff, would definitely go back again 👍🏾👍🏾

Poached eggs on my eggs benedict were overcooked - yolk was firm and not runny at all. Hollandaise was average. Steak & chips were okay.

Great service from the ladies at the front counter. Used Zomato Gold for this meal with no hiccups. Food came surprisingly fast given how busy the place was (under 10 mins). We got the steak, carbonara, and calamari salad all of which was nicely seasoned and delicious. Incredibly impressed with this place and will definitely be bring my friends next time.

We came here with Zomato Gold and ordered the Chef’s Special Grilled Calamari Salad, Chorizo and Spud Crush, and a Soy Mocha.<br/><br/>I loved the grilled calamari salad, it was well seasoned, the calamari wasn’t too chewy, there was an abundance of calamari which was great. Absolutely perfect for a hot spring day.<br/><br/>The chorizo and roasted potatoes were delicious as well. The flavours packed a punch and was a fulfilling dish. <br/><br/>I was surprised that all their dishes seemed to be priced a bit lower than other cafes, which makes it even more value with Gold.

Came here because of zomato gold. First time was during a weekday and it was super busy. The second time was during the weekend, it was still full but less busy compared to weekdays. This place has a nice courtyard setting with comfortable indoor seating as well.<br/>The food quality is good both times I came. The portions lean on the small side for the meals I chose. If it wasn’t for zomato gold then it will end up pretty pricey for an average portion meal. <br/>Coffee here is very average, I wouldn’t recommend their coffee. <br/>Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Friendly staff. Professional server. Although it’s not newly furnished, the internal environment was very local. I ordered creamy mushroom and a burger by Zomato gold which is really a good deal.

This place was packed when we dinned in for a late brunch on Sunday. We ordered the Veggie breakfast and the Pesto portobello mushroom. The veggie breakfast was a good portion and had all the good stuff - halloumi, spinach, tomato, poached eggs, toast.. the only thing it was missing in our opinion was was avo! The portobello mushroom (two to be exact) was on the smaller side portion wise.. and it didn’t have as much pesto flavour as I thought. However the mushrooms were cooked well and the hollandaise sauce made the dish - served with two poached eggs, hash browns and spinach. <br/><br/>The service was ok. But hard to judge on just one visits as they were busy - they were unable to check up on us and food service was slow. Worth checking out if your on zomato gold as it works out to be really good value and also the French toast looked really good, I’d get that next time if we visited again!

Great quality of food, fast service! ordered the Eggs benedict which was delicious will definitely be coming back to get breakfast! and isnt too pricey

Nice cafe with parking in the front. A bit crowded at lunch hour. Everything is good. Will come again and try other items on the menu.

Nice food and very friendly staff! Good experience.<br/>

Not bad pricing and the menu options look pretty decent.<br/>The cabinet food (should have taken a photo- sorry! Looks great)<br/>I had a granola with yoghurt and rhubarb . It was quite good, nice balance of tart and sweet.<br/>The coffee was pretty good - not amazing, but drinkable.<br/>Will be back to try more from the menu

The food was delicious and every single dish was so flavourful, but the fettuccine carbonara was a little on the salty side. The portion sizes were average and the service was great considering how busy they were.<br/><br/><br/>Use code SUE4438 to get 10% off your Zomato gold membership :)

It was quite busy at the time we went. We ordered The Fry Up, Steak Meal and Fettuccine Carbonara. The food looked amazing but was left a bit disappointed. We asked for poached eggs but when cut opened the yolk, it was cooked and not a runny yolk. The rest of the plate wasn't too bad though. The steak was cooked rare instead of medium-rare, the sunny side up eggs were perfect. The pasta wasn't too bad either, would have liked the chicken to be bite sized. Might come back to try something else on their menu. 6/10

Really great local cafe! The pasta was super tasty and my mum really enjoyed the scrambled eggs! She’s super picky too 🤭 coffee isn’t bad either. Definitely recommend

A very cool cafe at a not so cool suburb. In the middle of factories and businesses this is a great place to grab a bite or coffee. <br/><br/>Food is pretty and tasty too. The stuffings in the omlette are great. <br/><br/>Service: 3.5/5<br/>Environment: 3.5/5<br/>Presentation: 4.5/5<br/>Food Quality: 4/5<br/>Food Quantity: 4.5/5<br/>Price per person: $10-$20

Very very friendly staff, fresh good food, got the portobello mushroom, eggs and bacon on toast and a iced coffee with cream. <br/><br/>Overall:<br/>Food: 5/5<br/>Service: 5/5<br/>Atmosphere: 4/5

Very Professional<br/><br/>Nice staff<br/><br/>Not many parking area<br/><br/>Large size breakfast<br/><br/>Suggest you to try<br/><br/>I will go again<br/><br/>Nice place<br/><br/>The large coffee size, can be consumed by 2 people

What a lovely place, warm, inviting with delicious and freshly made food. Visited for the first time, a bit hard to find as not road frontage. Love the layout and decor and friendly and fast service. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

Lovely little cafe in East Tamaki. Enjoyed our brunch here. Sister loved her brekky and was over full on her bacon benedicts. I couldnt finish my Fry up. Hot chocolate was excellent! Hot just how i like it and sister liked her ginger bread latte. Zomato Gold was used. Thank you.

I really like this place, there is plenty of seats and selection of food from menu and cabinet.<br/><br/>Friendly staff.<br/><br/>One of the best cuppachino n Egg Benedict with salmon I had. Good portion too.<br/><br/>Definitely worth the trip.<br/><br/>

Very excellent service great food and good coffee great indoor decor with clean tables and clean bathrooms very busy place so best to book if want to fo for lunch and they do good catering

Went here with the girls for lunch. I ordered the Chef’s Special which is supposed to be “Grilled calamari with sweet chili lemon lime marinated seasonal greens and avocado”. <br/><br/>While eating I noticed that there was no avocado and thought that they had forgotten to put it in. I asked the waitress about it and she said ‘Oh yeah we didn’t put it in... It’s too expensive right now’.<br/><br/>I found it somewhat crazy that she would tell me that it was too expensive and that they chose not to serve me avocado due to its price in the market. The menu said “and avocado”. I expected avocado. <br/><br/>Needless to say, that was a little upsetting. I mean.. I paid for this... so I expect it on my plate. I know it’s just avocado... (or is it?!) but the preface was because it was too expensive for them to buy. They could have at least prefaced that there would be no avocado when I made the order. <br/><br/>I asked if I could get any sort of replacement and she gave me two options one which included creamed mushrooms. I settled for creamed mushrooms. And I say settled, because I didn’t actually want it. I was just trying to get what I paid for. After she went away, another server came to me saying that they couldn’t do creamed and it only had to be grilled mushrooms. Again I settled for this, as grilled mushrooms wouldn’t be my go to. <br/><br/>All in all. The food was good. Would have been better with avocado though 😂

The environment is nice. The coffee and food just about the average standard. The 21NZD steak was not up to the value. The coffee tasted good but the look just so so.

Busy little cafe. Staffs were friendly and polite. Food came reasonably fast. Everything tasted good with good portion size. Super good value with Zomato Gold. Their cabinet food looked really good too. Will be back!

Absolutely loved this place! Staff were so kind and friendly and the cashier was so patient even though I kept mucking up my pin number about 3 times. I ordered the brioche french toast and requested if the bacon could be switched to fruit, my partner ordered the salmon & eggs benedict and we both ordered chai for our drinks. The food was delicious! Great ambience, would definitely return again.

Good fresh food at a decent portion. We ordered mocha, chai latte, mushroom with focaccia, chef’s special, melted chicken for lunch. The food arrived pretty fast. Water is help yourself. Would come back again. <br/><br/>Note: A waiting staff did not speak English so initially we had some miscommunication.

Food was extremely delicious and very generous sizes,I had the 777’s breakfast and my daughter had the brioche toast which she loved. It was very busy when we arrived on a Saturday which was also a good sign that they were good. We came because of Zomato gold and we will return 👌🏼

closer to 4<br/>if you didn’t know there was a cafe in here it is easy to miss<br/>the setting is not bad, coffee and food all average or sligthly above, nothing that particularly stand out for me but nothing that will be disppointing either

Good place for quick breakfast and lunch... If you working around east tamaki area, one of the good place to visit. Great staff and yummy food to go with...

Got the cloud 777 breakfast and the French toast with bacon! Presentation was top notch, nice sweet French toast which didn’t even need the maple and really lovely caramelized banana. Only criticism would be the bits of colored popcorn around the dish. While they looked appealing, mixed with the maple got soggy and tough to eat. Also would’ve preferred if the banana skin wasn’t on the plate. The big breakfast could’ve done with a bit of salt or seasoning but overall they were pleasurable to eat! 😋

I have been here couple of times. The grilled chicken burger was very average. The portobello mushrooms were also quite average. Seating arrangement at the back are nicer then inside the cafe.

Loved the courtyard area with the greenery! We ordered the Chorizo and Spud Crush and the Grilled Chicken Burger - both of which were full of flavour. There was nothing to fault really except the spuds were on the greasier side if I was being extremely picky. The chicken burger was juicy and the presentation of the meals made them look even more appetising. Would love to come back and try more items on the menu!<br/><br/>Food - 5/5<br/>Ambience - 5/5<br/>Service - 3/5

A cafe not too well known even for myself living close by. However been there a few times now with different people each time. Food is nice, staffs are friendly, and environment is comfortable for catching up with friends and having a decent chat.

#zomato gold#<br/><br/>Got the pesto mushroom and a beef burger. Great value for money with Zomato Gold.<br/>Will be back to try more things.<br/><br/>Food: 4/5<br/>Ambience: 4/5

First and last time I'll be going here.<br/>My partner and I went to have a relaxing ANZAC Day lunch. I placed my order, my partner placed hers. My partners order arrived, and I suggested she start so it didn't go cold while waiting for mine. After my partner had nearly finished her meal and mine still hadn't arrived, I decided to go check on it.<br/>I was told, by who I understand was the manager, we had only ordered one meal. I said no that's not correct, I'd quite clearly said what I wanted, and I told her what it was, before my partner placed her order.<br/>All she said was 'well do you want it now' to which I said 'no, it's too late now, my partners finished hers so we're not going to wait around for it now'<br/>This Manager had a very unfriendly demeanor, and was quite frankly rude, who made me feel like I'd done something wrong.<br/>I don't say we felt she was unfriendly and rude just because she missed my order. We'd both said to each other how unfriendly she was, after taking our order.<br/>It's a shame that what looked like a nice place turned out to be a bad experience for me. I understand from my partner, who's been there several times before, that the other staff she's encountered there are lovely.<br/>My advice to cloud 777 . . . do yourself a favour and find a manager that has a friendly demeanor with the customers, before you lose too much business.<br/>Sorry, but I won't be back.<br/><br/>

Excellent breakfast and their cabin food looks amazing as well. I ordered the Egg Bene with Bacon and my partner went for the Cloud 777 breakfast. Both were really really nice. Highly recommend 👍🏻

We didn’t even know about this place before getting Zomato Gold. We absolutely loved the place - great food, beautiful decor and the best coconut caramel slice!

We were there on Sat brunch time and waited so long for the food - like almost 30mins. I almost walked out because I was hangry! The food were small portion and for the price we paid. I think it’s over priced. Though food on the menu wasn’t impressed us I personally like their selections of salad and cabinet food on WEEKDAYS.

Tried their pesto portobello mushroom, steak burger and iced chocolate. The iced chocolate came in a takeaway cup which seemed a bit strange and had a lot of ice cubes in it. The burger was nicely cooked and the mushroom has a good portion

What a great little spot. We got the eggs benny and mushroom on toast. Eggs cooked to perfection with perfect liquidy yolk. Creamy mushroom was a winner for me. The portion and price are very reasonable. You can tell by the quality that they put quite a lot of care in each dish. The decor is also nice and not what you’d expect from the outside. So glad we found this place in the middle of the industrial East Tamaki. Will definitely return.

Really nice place to chill out and have a bite, especially the outdoor area. Food was nice just a nice little morning brunch + ZOMATO GOLD accepted here!

Went to this cafe on a weekend for brunch. <br/>Has a wide range of food selection from savory to sweet, so we decided to get one of each. <br/>Food was good. And the coffee was great. <br/>Will be coming back.<br/>

A great cafe with a quiet dining area and good atmosphere. They used to offer 1+1 Zomato Gold but don’t anymore, so the value isn’t amazing. The beverages are well made. For a cafe that’s inside an industrial area, I didn’t expect such good service and ambiance. I recommend this place if you’re in the area!

Amazing value for money. Nice atmosphere and vibe in the cafe. Little bit noisy outside since it’s situated in an industrial area. Filling breakfasts. Cloud 777 breakfast was good, could do with a relish or something as it was a bit dry. Really good value than most other big breakfasts. Chorizo, eggs, spinach and potato thing was sooo good, that had a relish which was delicious. Coffee 👌🏻 Tumeric latte 👎🏻 a bit watery and sugary. Afghan was delicious, good amount of walnuts on top. Also ordered a berry naked cheese cake but we ate it before I remembered to take a photo. Yum! 👍🏻

Great place for brunch. I ordered an omelete and a salmon scrambled egg. Both very yummy and generous portions for the prics.<br/>Service is excellent and love the setting.<br/>Will be back. 👌

Discover this place from Zomato Gold. A hidden cafe within an industrial area. The latte was average, there is so much foam that it’s nearly a cappuccino. However the food was good. The Benedict was just right.

I drive pass this place at least 2 to 3 times a week and never noticed it's existence. Dined here for the first time today and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere, very relaxing which makes it the perfect getaway place for lunch during busy workdays. Most importantly is the food, the scrambled egg with salmon i ordered had the eggs done perfect, and the mango smoothies is really nice and refreshing too.

My first experience with using zomato gold and an extremely pleasant one at Cloud 777 cafe - quality of food was not compromised at all despite it being a discounted meal; I had the Vege breakfast and the mushrooms were seasoned very nicely, coffee was great and the portion sizes generous. Will be back to try other items on their menu!

Nice foods & coffee, my girls just love the hog chocolate Ltd! Love the friendly staffs & services. Will definitely tick on my boxes for next visit again.

Delicious breakfasts served at Cloud 777 and exceptional looking cabinet food. Along with welcoming friendly service from the staff. Seating inside or out pleasant atmosphere.

Good selection of food though you wouldn’t expect how good it is from the outside. We sat outside as I had my dog with us. Friendly staff and quick service on a Tuesday lunchtime. Would recommend to others and go back again

Love the french toast and iced coffee. Plenty options. Service is friendly. Meals have a generous size. Nice place to have a breakfast or brunch.

Food is good for the price .Poor presentation of latte art. Good location. Plenty of parking on weekday. Staffs are friendly and good environment

This place looks really out of place from the outside but once you get inside they selection of food is really good! They have an extensive range to choose from and the interior is quite nice too

Good selection of cabinet and menu food, staff are always friendly and not much of a wait,  very busy place. go at lunch time but sometimes try the breakfast menu which is good :)

Second time here, first time for food. Just had coffee last time.<br/>I ordered the steak burger. The menu described the steak burger as having... tender aged scotch (fillet steak), cheese, aioli, tomato, with fresh green salad and rustic cut fries.<br/>What did I get???.....A burger that didn’t have tender aged scotch fillet steak or rustic fries!!<br/>The steak was chewy and full of fat and gristle. It was more like a cheap rump steak. I spent most of the time spitting chewy gristle and fat into my napkin. Not happy.<br/>The “rustic fries” were out of the freezer straight cut fries. <br/>I would have given them 4 stars, but I didn’t get what was advertised! I feel cheated and I’m disappointed. <br/>I want to give them 2 stars based on this experience, but the staff were friendly and helpful, the cafe is nice and clean.......so reluctantly I’m giving them a 3.<br/>

Seasoning , Crap Baking .. Cloud Nine or 777 for Luck ?/ A place on its way down ..You should have hired Good Cooks.. What Does master CHEF say.. Oh Dear .. Maybe a trip to MELLY may fix your Sierras ( Ambiguous )

Recommended by a friend so tried it. Has a good selection of salads and ready prepared food like pies, chicken wrapped in bacon, wraps and other usual cafe style foods. Coffee is okay at its best and so is food nothing special. Also there is a few sweets to choose from if thats what you feel like. Atmosphere. Bit surprised at how many office type douche bags visit here tho. If that sort of crowd isn’t your thing don’t visit here as i got the vibe that its there “hang out”. Service is okay depending on the day.

A nice little cafe tucked away in an otherwise industrial area, it was a bit of a wait just to get a table, it was so busy. The mince on toast wins no awards for appearance, but was full of flavour and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. They serve delicious coffee too. Will definitely be back. Recommended.

My friend who worked in this area introduced me to this cafe. We came her for a quick bite and coffee. We had muffins. I ordered a savoury one. Tasted ok and I love the decent size. The ambience is very nice and spacious. Will be back to try their cooked menu and photos to follow.<br/><br/>Updated - Visited again and the food was yummilicious. We sat outdoor/covered and heated too. Very nice!<br/><br/>Cloud777 is now with Zomato Gold. Their food is yummilicious. You can join Zomato Gold and get 20% off membership with this code LITTLETD

chorizo and spud crush was delicious however one egg over cooked. great staff and neat place overall would come back to try more off the menu

What a lovely cafe, the atmosphere was superb, very friendly staff. love how they took names per order so there was no confusion at a table of 15. I ordered the chorizo mash up was so delicious except one over cooked egg. kind of a pet peeve thus a 4 not 5. but we did have 15 other breakfast order so very understandable. would def come back!

Was very nice. Food was plentiful and the staff knew the makeup of their meals. Well done. No time to test the coffee this time. Next visit.

Just popped into Alisha's for a quick lunch. Ordered the pulled pork and cream cheese wrap.. now I'm back at work fighting off a food coma. So so so good! Very filling and reasonably priced. Another 10/10 for Alisha's.

Love this place, great food and great atmosphere. The staff are amazing and service is prompt. Only downside is finding a parking but that's because they're just so good. 10/10 recommended

Love their breakfast. We tend to have breakfast meetings there for work and the food is great. Parking wise you might struggle to find one during peak lunch time. Services are good.

Love this place! staff, food, coffee all fantastic, I l like that they change there menu around, always something new to try. The staff are so nice, always have a smile, food comes out quick, only down turn is sometimes you cant get a park or seat because they are so good.

Super quick and delicious meals! Staff also very lovely and friendly. Recommend the BLT and Alisha's breakfast both great meals. Will definitely come back here

I drive past this cafe everyday and finally got the chance to try it today with my husband. The cabinet foods are very impressive , everything seems to be good! We ordered a coffee,half roast beef/ Caesar salad and the pulled pork eggplant with orzo salad. They were amazing ! And the staffs served our food and coffee within 5 minutes ! Highly recommend this cafe!

Was looking for a place to have breakfast this morning as I happened to be in the area, and came across this cafe on Zomato, so decided to give it a go. <br/>The outside looks unassuming, and its situated next to a couple of auto shops so not exactly glamorous, but parking was sufficient.<br/>Inside however is different, the atmosphere and abience is warm and welcoming, with nice simple decor.<br/>I ordered a salmon eggs benedict, at $17.50. <br/>Dish arrived in a timely manner after about 5-10 minutes, and I was super impressed. The mushrooms were perfectly grilled, the hollandaise sauce looked homemade and had what looked like wholegrain mustard to make it even more unique,  eggs were hot and perfectly poached, spinach was cooked just right without the stringy stems left on, and the foccacia bread that it was served with was delicious. <br/>Loved every bite of it and portion size was generous. What I liked most however was that it was a different take on the traditional eggs bene, with the addition of mushroom and their special hollandaise sauce, and the herbed foccacia bread was the perfect accompaniment to this dish.<br/>Can't comment on their hot beverages as didn't order coffee, but they did have chilled water available for customers to help themselves to. <br/>Not to mention the staff were friendly as expected and acknowledged customers as they left. <br/>Would definitely come back again- just a shame that they're so far from where I live but for the locals, I highly recommend the eggs bene dish.

Nice and clean area... but everything ends here.<br/>The staffs are not friendly, she didn't even put the plate in front of me she just left it on the table. I ordered Alisha's breakfast OMG, nothing wowed me at all... so plain i could literally make this at home... and so expensive for the food you are eating, the coffee was soooo average too. Overall i ended up leaving so unhappy with food. Not recommended at all.

Great little cafe. Husband and I met up for lunch before heading back into work. Greeted by smiling staff, very friendly and answered lol our questions with ease. Cabinet food looks good. I had corn fritters with bacon sour cream a chutney and salad chefs special today, nice and hot, seafood chowder, delicious and husband had pesto portobello mushrooms, and my soy latte... A great lunch experience, the only thing was the coffee, not enough caffeine for me but still drinkable and nice and hot! Not a lot of parking but I managed to find one. Thank you Alisha's cafe for a great first time dining experience here. I will be back to try other delicious things. Value for money? Yes! Awesome servings! Well done!

the atmosphere is nice, but the foods a bit pricey for what you order. taste is...average. not many parking space. but the coffee is good...<br/>i have chnged my rating from 3.5 to 4 stars as the owner has changed and there food is very nice.<br/>the price is reasonable and just love the beetroot salads. love going to cafe with good cabinet food.<br/>but so busy at lunch and not many carparks. need to go early if you want to park.

Arrived around 10am this morning for my first visit to this cafe. It's quite unassuming from the outside but the inside is very pleasant. The staff were busy sprucing up the interior including vigorous polishing of the two huge mirrors on the wall. <br/>There were lots of very interesting salads already in the display cabinet. I tried the caramel chocolate slice and had a double latte. The coffee was unexceptional and the slice was as expected. I'd come here again to try the salads.

I have had some salads from Alisha's but have not yet been to the cafe. The chicken and pearl salad was delightful and something different which is always good. I took some to work the next day and had it for lunch. It gave me energy for the rest of the day which doesn't always happen when you have a salad for lunch ! I look forward to visiting in person soon !

CS - check<br/>Great Coffee - check<br/>Food - check<br/>Can never go wrong with Alishas!! Thank god they are only around the corner from us.. Thank you the team at Alishas for everything.

I am very new to the whole review thing, but figure I will give my first one a go on Alisha’s Café in East Tamaki, as I appear to find myself there at least 2 times a day. <br/><br/>Hygiene/Cleanliness:<br/><br/>First of all the standards of cleanliness are very impressive. The cold cabinet and cake cabinet are routinely cleaned (I witness this allot), to the point where there is not even a finger print on the inside or outside of these (apart from the odd child who comes in, but that is not the staffs fault. The floor always looks sparkling, considering the amount of running around staff do to deliver meals to tables. Being a bit OCD, I have occasionally popped my head to look into the kitchen, where once again, work stations and benches look great and properly wiped down. No one likes to think about cross contamination, so this concern is certainly alleviated to me. <br/><br/>The other key note, is that the staff behind the coffee station are constantly wiping it down, when specs of milk from the froth splatter. Once again this is a little issue I have.<br/><br/>Setting/aesthetics:<br/><br/>Considering it is a small place, they have managed to fit allot of tables without making it appear cramped or cluttered. From the tables I have sat at (I highly recommend the ones along the walls as they are very comfy, but alas, everyone else seems to see my point of view as well), they do not have that annoying wobble which some venues have. Obviously this is highly annoying when having a meeting with paperwork, and coffee or drinks get spilt over everything. Not a concern here. The cabinets look GREAT. The food is always looking incredibly fresh, without spillage onto the base of the food cabinets, and I find myself drawn to the font they chose for the menu. Yes I am a bit strange. <br/><br/>The outdoor area (2nd best place to sit if you can get a spot) is great as well. The tables give it an almost “I am relaxing in my backyard” feeling. In short it is certainly not a sterile environment when there, hence why I am quite comfortable conducting work at this establishment. <br/><br/>Originally there was frustration due to the lack of parking (this is after all a very popular place), but this has been greatly extended in recent times. <br/><br/>Food:<br/><br/>To me this is naturally the most important thing. <br/><br/>Salads….. As a meat eating bloke, who sticks his nose up at the thought of eating salads, this is the total surprise. They are phenomenal. As with the previous paragraph, they are aesthetically appealing, bordering on mouth-watering (yes…. Me calling a salad mouth-watering…… this feels like a crime….). Flavour is certainly not a concern and freshness is always there. Even the greens in the salad have the unmistakeable crunch as a sign of freshness, unlike the texture of greens which have obviously been left in a fridge for a few days. The strawberry and beef salad (when available) is a must try, and totally shocked me when I tried it. the flavours worked great together. <br/><br/>The icing on the cake would be the burgers though. Particularly the Gourmet Chicken Burger. The meat is always tender and not overcooked or dry in any way. The buns are great too. Alisha’s has not taken their burgers to the point of “let’s put everything on it and hope for the best”, and kept it simple which is great. The chips are always crunchy and do not have that flavour of over-used oil which is also great to see. I do tend to find myself ordering extra aioli as well, as it is practically its own food group. <br/><br/>The Eggs Benny is also a great way to start the day. The hollandaise sauce is fantastic, and not once have I experienced the dreaded over cooked poached eggs. Over poached eggs is a ratings killer for me. <br/><br/>I have also taken the liberty of ordering catering salads for a function at home recently. Both were big hits with my mates, and eventually I had to confess that I did not make them myself. Presentation for the catering salads were on proper plates and not in awful foil trays, and they were certainly value for money. <br/><br/>Coffee:<br/><br/>The true reason I frequent this place so much. I will keep this criteria very short. <br/><br/>- Never have I had it burnt. If you know coffee you certainly know that awful after taste once the beans have been cooked so much;<br/><br/>- Temperature of the coffee is always to my liking…. Not too hot not to cold;<br/><br/>- The beans used are also very nice;<br/><br/>- They mix the sugar into the coffee so you do not end up with the last few mouthfuls, being sickly sweet. <br/><br/>Staff:<br/><br/>The staff are incredibly friendly. They have taken the time to get to know their regulars, and always appear to be happy and chirpy. No Bitchy Resting Face here! Not once have I had an order stuffed up, and I have taken plenty of clients and suppliers there, who seem to always want to go back for follow ups. Having first hand witnessed, how some people have treated staff (yes there is always the a$#hole customer who needs to make themselves feel big because they are in a white collar world, and want to show off in front of their colleagues… commonly associated with “small d*ck syndrome”), I can say that it was handled very professionally and not condescending in any shape, way or form. <br/><br/>My only concern is that they have employed a vegan. Vegans should not be allowed to breathe the same air as me….. Ok strike that back…. This particular person is the exception to the rule. <br/>All the staff are lovely

Non existent customer service! You walk in early first thing in the morning to see staff who don't smile/greet customers.

This place gives off a dull look on the outside. However, once you actually approach the entrance you'll see that this place is lively and busy inside! The service is really good- the women who served me today was so lovely :) the range of sweet goodies on offer is totally impressive! I will definitely return back to try out the peanut butter brownie 😍

Awesome early morning coffee spot, open from 6, can definitely help you start the day. Emma and Ella especially are great behind the counter. Their lunch food isn't too and either!

I love the baked goods here both savoury&sweet.<br/>What a huge cabinet display with great variety of salads. Its always nice to have lunch here and staff are great,always busy but efficient!<br/>Thanks for the great food and service keep it up;)

Love this eatery very much,  Beautiful decor, delicious food and great great coffee. The staffs there are super friendly. Their salad range are so amazing.

Love this place. Have been a few times with colleagues and everyone was impressed and wanted to return. Great service, great food, great atmosphere.

I have been to many cafes to meet and catch up with friends and family, but i couldn't find one that provides food for different people with different health needs, until i came across Alishas Cafe on Harris Road. Alishas has become my go to coffee stop and my permanent local cafe, due to the fact that their food provides excellent healthy options, such as a wide range of salads, gluten free options and free farmed eggs and meat. To top things off, the friendly environment is what draws me back everyday. the staff are friendly and you are greeted with a big smile before you reach the counter. Sometimes its difficult to distinguish the owners from the workers and Dean and Jess (Bosses) are continuously assisting with clearing tables, making coffee and serving food. their passion is reflected through their work ethic and commitment, making customers feel like a contributing member rather than just a number in a bustling cafe. would recommend Alishas Cafe for anyone looking for great service, warm environment and a place to socialise that is suitable for all ages and caters for your exact needs. thankyou so much for your great service and awesome coffee!Lupe Hill

Lovely little cafe in East Tamaki. Excellent fast service from the attentive staff. Nice decor. Delicious coffee. However. They have fallen into the trap of "stacking" their eggs Benedict. You end up with two pieces of ciabatta a handful of wilted spinach two frankly gorgeous slices of thick ham two poached eggs all stacked vertically. Looks great on the plate. BUT this construction method leads to undersaucing. Their hollandaise sauce is delicious but I'm lucky if I'm getting half of what I need. The sauce makes or breaks this dish. <br/>

I ordered a Caesar salad for lunch, and came back for coffee after my interview.  The food was great and the coffee was really good.  I even liked the fact that they have a semi-enclosed extension area for non-smokers in addition to the outdoor seats.

Love coming here for coffee and a bite, the staff are very friendly and the food is alway fresh.I would recommend this cafe, the only thing it needs is a booze licence

Absolutely love this place, the salads in the case and the menu items are spot on. It's cheap considering what you would pay for this quality in town and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable. Must try.<br/>

I called into Alishas last week on a hot day. I ordered the chocolate ice cream sundae I think it was. Absolutely lovely and so moreish. Rich tasting chocolate topping on top of a lovely ice cream base.<br/>Couldn't wish for better if you're a chocolate ( or ice cream) lover.

This cafe is a little gem in the heart of East Tamaki. A selection of amazing salads and home baked cakes. They use my favorite coffee brand Allpress. so friendly staffs. I love going there for my morning coffee fix and a quick lunch pick up.

A perfect little place to relax and enjoy with colleagues, with fantastic coffee and divine food! we all left satisfied with your café.we will all be back!!!!

Visited this cafe when it first opened and had lovely staff and good vibe. Recently been back and noticed all the staff have gone!!?  I ordered a salad and wasn't heated properly and my coffee was burnt! Asked the waitress if I could have another one and she told me I had to pay!! Was horrified! Not returning

This is such a gem in this commercial area. Stylish décor and lovely fresh food and great coffee. I especially liked the salads on offer and their savoury muffins. Perfect for groups or meetings but good to book first.

What a great cafe, food was fantastic and service also great.  Would defiantly recommend to friends and family.  Would also be great for business meetings as there is plenty of space.
