Awesome experience, amazing staff and location to die for. Can't wait for the cafe to open
Above average food with a fantastic matcha latte. So many people waiting for seats but guess it's worth it. Great view. Recommended. đ
Our new favourite cafe. The eggs Benedict is the best in Auckland. You'll have to wait around 40 minutes for a table but it's worth it.
The foods are delish and they have big servings. The waitress who was assigned to us was very accommodating and friendly. The place is also relaxing. Will definitely come back to try their other foods!

Beautiful food, place and service. Couldnât fault anything here, yes we did have to 40 mins to get a table but this is without a booking and have to say it was well worth the wait. Great variety on the menu, good portion sizes and food came out speedily despite a packed lunch crowd. Great little playground for the kids and right next to the bay with awesome views. Bean bags on the lawn for the adults? Also nice little interactive sugar musuem and shop for all to enjoy. Lets talk food, the southern fried chicken with french toast wasnât too heavy or greasy and liked the hint of chilli to the dish, fish and chips were battered and fried perfectly and the fish literally melts in your mouth. The corn fritters were the best thing especially with corn still being in season. And the star of the whole meal was the Lemon lamington/sponge cake. Lemony, fluffy and creamy, absolutely to die for and look at the size of the thing, worth the $8. Sugar at Chelsea Bay was definitely a hidden gem for us and weâll definitely be back.
Really nice location and was nice to drive there and see the scenery. Food was delicious and coffee was even better. Recommend making booking as they are always busy and we had to wait 30 mins to be seated but as I said the scenes is beautiful so you donât really mind

My friends and I visited Sugar on a Saturday and luckily we managed to get a table fairly quickly.
Love the selection available on the lunch menu, and if you're after a sweet treat, the cabinet is full of yummy looking cakes and slices.
We ordered three items from the menu: Soft Shell Crab Benedict, Pork Belly Benedict and Chicken & Waffles. All were well received and polished off.
The coffee took longer than the food but it was decent. Would have loved a filter option but i resorted to a long black.
Service was okay. You order at the counter and the food comes quickly. It does get really busy during the weekend so be prepared to wait for a table.
Came on a Saturday for brunch and ended up waiting 20 minutes, although we didn't mind since it is a popular time for families to eat during weekends. I ordered the roast pork Benedict which was delicious. The pork was super tender and the meal came with a thick slice of potato which balanced out the saltiness of the pork. Although the poached eggs made the meal too rich and I only finished one of the eggs. I tried a bit of the crab Benedict and French toast with fried chicken too. French toast was super heavy as it came with corn bread and Brioche. I found the crab Benedict to be a weird combination and didnât enjoy it. The cabinet food looked amazing so I had the Victoria sponge and the orange and blueberry muffin which had an amazing light coconuty frosting- both were great and not too sweet. Good portions too!
The service was great, staff were friendly and loved the location and ambiance (we were sat by the bay). No complaints
A m a z i n g ....Best cakes I've had in Auckland for a long while. Loved the berry tart with custard, wanted to have two! Had an amazing rose latte, was so special.
Went here with my sister's kids and my dogs earlier this week. Wasn't sure if they would have something to fit us all in, including our large dog, but the staff were extremely helpful in finding something for us! There was a ten minute wait for a table during which the staff were very helpful and updated us on the wait so we didn't feel forgotten. My sister and I ordered off the menu and the kids got cabinet food. It was all amazing! Five star service, unparalleled food quality! Would highly recommend, and will be doing so to all my work mates!
Nice environment especially great for kids to play around. Food is nice and staffs are friendly đ
First time trying this place. Was recommended the dessert slices such as caramel slice and he marshmallow slice and they were very good. Coffee was just ok here. Also ordered 2 mains, the tarakihi taco and the fish and chips. The taco was perfectly cooked, slightly crisp and tasted amazing, quantity not too much however. The fish and chips to me was quite average and over priced. Overall not a bad meal though. Would probably come next time just for cabinet food.
Our first time visit to Sugar at chelsea BAy was amazing , the food was yummy and coffee was awesome, we had chocolate cake as well , it was tasty and very rich . Staff service was awesome as well .
Delicious food, lovely vibe and friendly staff. There's an impressive range of cabinet "sweet treats" which we were too full to try, after our brunches. We'll definitely go back for coffee and cake!
Great atmosphere at this place. The lady at the reception was very nice. Tables are usually full so booking is recommended.
Views around this place is good. Would recommend a tour too.
Cabinet food has such a variety. We had lunch and cane home with desserts. Even though the place was pretty packed, service was fast.
Went here for sit down meal but was so crazy busy decided to order out of the windows.... probably some of the yummiest windows food I've ever had.

Again, It was very busy but managed to get a table this time. Delicious dine in food.
Had the fried chicken, the Moroccan Lamb, and the Kids fish and chips. All very delicious. Service was fast and friendly.
Got some cabinet sweets to go.
Have a very happy birthday lunch with my son's family during this winter time, cold outside but feeling so good as setting besides the big window with view and lights, delicious food and warm service.
Me and my hubby went there to have breakfast , the cafe and the view is really nice , the place is spacious and cute and pinky pinky interior, food is amazing too đđ»
The girl with piercings was lovely, enjoyed talking to customers. Though we all have sore tummies from the food - it was all quite heavy and not good value for money in my opinion - $6 coffee is quite dare. Nice location though I guess thatâs what youâre paying for.
A friend gave me an address, and I didn't realise it was at the Chelsea Sugar factory and thought I missed a turn. Came to the end and found a handicapp parking space that was convenient. Went inside and saw they did tours of the factory. Had coffee and lunch the coffee was pretty decent and my lunch was fried chicken was good . The views were nice and definitely would go back
Such beautiful hidden places, beautiful people, delicious food ,great coffee with our brunch, no booked but lucky have table for us .
