This hidden cafe in Newmarket is massive! I love their industrial interior. The service is superb. The coffee is great! All the food that we ordered were all yummy. I highly recomomend their fried chicken and waffles. The chicken with a hint of chilli works really well with the maple syrup and the waffles. Thanks to their manager Simone and to their staff Dominique for their hospitality. Will come back soon!
Airy and plush spot tucked away behind Newmarket. They are really great at executing classic brunch things like their eggs Benedict and the French toast. Some of their more adventurous dishes are also quite nice, the chicken in the chicken and waffles were memorable, but the type of waffles are mismatched (perhaps they didn’t want the dish to feel too heavy), the salmon wild rice was nice but I couldn’t figure out what the intended cook on the salmon was meant to be. All together would recommend though, nice space to meet with friends.
Nice and cozy place for brunches. Good food quality and nice coffee ☕️
This cafe in newmarket has many tables to choose from and is not crowded with people. Great place to have brunch on the weekend or just having a cup of coffee.
The black rice porridge kind of satisfy my craving for thai mango sticky rice. I love it!! Would recommend for someone who want to have thai mango sticky rice but could not find one in Auckland, this plate may temporary satisfy those wants.
Had my meeting here over coffee and some brunch. The coffee was great and food was decent. It can get a little noisy but that's ok.
My husband and I run every weekend followed by a hearty meal. This weekend we went to L’affare. Not too keen with the eggs benedict but simply Love the chicken and waffles. And i adore the coffee (i was told named Gusto which they roast themselves). Need to buy this when I run out of beans.
Love the atmosphere and the service. Chicken waffle was amazing. Just perfect.
I come here every morning and it kick starts my day. Their coffee is amazing, the staff are friendly and the food is delicious. i've never been one to be a regular at cafes, I like to hop around but i can't get enough of this place :) Love it
nice looking coffee, food taste fine👌 difficult to find a carpark on Friday, took me 20mins to park😲😲😲，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，， ，
Spacious café with many tables to choose from. Great place to have lunch/coffee/weekend brunch, even would be kids friendly which is something hard to find in New Market.
The photo doesn’t do justice for the breakfast burrito but I really rate this one! The size is massive. The egg and potato in the burrito make it unique and delicious. The French toast was just your normal standard French toast, except the bread had a more thicker dense texture. Coffee was great!
Service for all levels (from front, coffee to kitchen) are exceptional.
Excellent service here. The barista was friendly, providing professional advice on beans' selections. Lunch were yummy too. I loved my slow cook lamb. Our family had a lovely experience here.
It's delicious. I happened to be doing business nearby. I found this store. The clerk is very enthusiastic. The food is also delicious. The coffee is great. The environment is very distinctive.
I like the atmosphere. Even the heavy rain couldn’t stop the people coming.
Kimchi fried chicken burger was delicious, but the fried chicken and waffles was a bit heavy and dry. I will try mince on toast next time. Raspberry cheesecake was tasty. Overall it was a great time in L’affare.
The ambience is very organic. The customer service was great. The savoury and sweet chicken with waffles was really heavy but it was a bit to dry for my taste. The drinks selection was quite creative. Spacious seating with good soothing music helped us enjoy the rainy day
We ordered one eggs Benedict with salmon and one with bacon, a long black and a flat white. The dishes were very well presented. The poached eggs and bacon were perfect, though I found the cured salmon a little too salty and fishy as an alternative to smoked salmon, making the dish hard to truly enjoy.
That mild food disappointment aside, the staff were really wonderful and, as we found ourselves stranded by the Auckland flooding, they even offered us use of a couch upstairs and free coffees. Though we didn’t take advantage of this kindness, it really struck us as generous and hospitable—they do real credit to the venue and added some cheer to a miserable situation.
Low-key and elegant, it took me a while to see the shop sign. The decoration is stylish and the space is very high. The waiters are very enthusiastic. Coffee should be the specialty of this shop. I ordered papardelle, the handmade pasta was springy and the sauce was good. Recommend worth a visit.
As a group of ex colleagues we came to L'affare Newmarket cafe for our monthly breakfast together. At 7:15am it was easy to find a parking spot. When you enter the cafe rich smell of coffee welcomes you and lovely hostess helps you to find a seat. It looks like management pays attention to customer service a lot as all frontend staff is very nice, polite and helpful. I truly enjoyed hospitality here.
I ordered Avocado on toast and it was simply delicious, portion size was good enough. Coffee is invigorative and yummy
A usual spot for coffee and brekkie. One of the best little quaint coffee places in the bustling centres of newmarket. Quality food and drinks all round, paired with lovely service :).
Everything was perfect! Just wished I could come here more often! For food, the three of us had an egg benedict w/bacon and another one with smoke salmon (one of which the muffin was changed to hash brown, as a huge hash brown fan, it was slightly disappointing) and truffle egg with sourdough bread. The scrambled egg was creamy and smooth and the truffle was no overwhelming. For drinks, a cappuccino, flat white and hot chocolate. The hot chocolate came with a surprise - a Whittakers chocolate bar. We didn't notice there were other goodies near the cashier, if not I'd had ordered a pastry instead! The ambience and service were both really pleasant! :)
I had some time on Monday morning to stop by for breakfast. Turns out the kitchen is closed on Mondays. I ended up just getting a hot chocolate since I was there. I was surprised at how nice the hot chocolate was, probably helped with the stick of Whittakers chocolate that came with it. It wasn't the start I was expecting but did turn out nicer than anticipated.
The place was quite large and did have a nice dining area. The bathrooms were also quite clean and spacious. There was a "wait to be seated" sign by the door for those who were planning on just rocking up like I did.
