Review Mottletop Espresso Bar - Auckland Central

Rebecca KEENAN
It is lovely and warm and the owners are a lovely couple. I have been healthy with an egg cucumber bun but also indulging in a cheese and onion scone which I have to say is excellent. The coffee is supreme and they make a very nice coffee. Well worth a visit. It is November 2018 and back again. I just had some really yum scrambled eggs and bacon. And a lovely soy flat white highly recommend Expense $-$$

A great little, quaint coffee place in Papakura with a great vibe, a wall of quirky material, a library of books and a piano for those talented humans. A range of snacks to go along with that caffeine fix including Vegan & GF choices.

Mottletop Cafe in Papakura is such a homely delightful local cafe and what I love most about this place are the club sandwiches and roti rolls, not to mention exceptional coffee!

Mottletop coffee is one of the best cafes around papakura..its affordable and cheap ..the mocha, macchiato and cappuccino are the best... ...

Love this little cafe, great food and coffee, lovely decor, relaxing to sit and chat for all morning. Local cafes at its best.
Adam White
On recommendation of a local, my partner and I went here. Really enjoyed the experience. Great decor - love the mix and match approach, that was tastefully done. Love the food, real homemade kia, but well prepared. Coffee was nice, and it gets five stars because service was top notch. Looking forward to going back.

Yes, you can get good coffee here but the food should be mentioned. They offer many healthy options, meals that feel wholesome and also some sweet treats. I've always found the staff friendly and I like the atmosphere of the shop too.
Anthony Peterson
Great little cafe. Very tasty and reasonably priced food with a lot of variety and a good selection of organic free range and gluten free options. Lots of quirky stuff to catch your eye on the walls and a heap of reading materials from daily papers through to a full set of enclypedia to browse through. Well worth a visit.

Its our family favourite breaky spot. The Omelette - once you go free range with this dish, you will never go caged again. And the coffee, it's the best in town. You will never be disappointed.😊
Christopher Bailey
Wholesome soup of broccoli, corn & spinach with five-grain toast . . . stunning espresso - smoothly mellow and lasted a good couple of hours. Unobtrusive service and relaxing ambience. An unpretentious gem.

Outstanding coffee at Papakura and around I have had after a very long time. Much appreciated Janice 👌 You make a difference for everyone who steps in Mottletop Espresso ☕ Bar

One of the best coffees in Papakura (Coffee Supreme) but disappointed that they automatically put our three coffees in take out cups - we didn't specify, but they didn't ask, and we clearly went to sit at a table after ordering.

Great omelette! Coffee was delish & made how I wanted it, especially since I wanted a small glass latte with ginger & cinnamon sprinkles, would recommend to others.
Elsa Bakker
Best café in Papakura! eg cooked breakfast, fresh croissants, rolls, roti or sandwiches. Their own cookies, muffins, savouries, scones, soup, takeaway meals: buttered chicken, dahl, lentil soup, basmati rice. 27/06/2020: Recently 'All Tea Teatime' posted a very negative review re Mottletop. My reply to 'All Tea Teatime' is: 1) if you can't post a positive message, then don't; 2) suggest you go to McD's, KFC, Wendy's or another coffee and food provider more your style

This is the most amazing place. And best of all it is in papakura. Well thought out establishment. Friendly staff cool theme and superior coffee. This is my local place to get my coffee fix. They have an awesome Baker you will be tempted with the amazing range of cakes, muffins and beautiful club sandwiches. Would highly recommend this to all coffee lovers.

Great place to go for a nice coffee and the little extra area upstairs for a spot of writing. Coffee awesome, food pretty good too.
Georgina Johnston
No service. Staff were only concerned for their conversations amongst each other. Watched what appeared to be a staff member on their day off stand there eating hot chocolate marshmallows out of the jar with his bare hands. Coffee was forgotten but when reminded was made and kindly given a brownie as an apology. There was a jammed packed tray of dirty crockery, cups and cutlery stuffed in the corner next to our dirty table which staff just kept walking by. On exit no staff were to be seen. Was curious to see what this cafe was like and can safely say I will not recommend or return.
Tracy Hema
Awesome Service. Come in stuffed after work. Welcomed by the best service coffee and manners. Thanks for the service William xxx

Nice but coffee wasnt hot and heated croissant not heated enough to melt camembert
Kaila Dewstow
Lose my mind each time I eat there, the coffee is to die for and they have a fantastic playlist
Connor Gear
Great Establishment, Good prices Lovely people I had a flat white it was warming for the cold windy day.

This was my first time at Mottletop as I have recently moved into the area. I was pleasantly surprised to be introduced to such a lovely place with a easy, laid back atmosphere. It was certainly pumping with the amount of people who came through there. I would like to thank one person in particular (I found out his name) Dylan. Your service was extremely good and might I say, even under pressure, you kept a clear head and was very polite and accommodating.....thank you and I shall be back.

Cafe basics. Say hello to customers at the counter. Don't ignore them Take their order quickly. None of which you could do today. Disappointing.
Desiree Ready
What a great place. I love this place so much I go at least once a week sometimes twice a week to have a coffee & something yummy to eat. Even my little girls love it here!!!! Well Done team you are all doing a great job...See you soon..Best place in Papakura
Kimiora Rewiri
Best bran muffin ever, friendly staff & delicious coffee. Quirky little set-up with lots of character, loved it. Think you should consider opening a branch in Ponsonby please?
Bonnie Chongston
Excellent brunch, the croissants are so good we simply couldn't get enough of! ;)
Tristan Vine
Demanded our money back after waiting just on half an hour for 2x coffees - and they didn't forget as we asked several times where they were after 15min wait. Hopeless service, cafe was hardly full, lady behind counter seemed intent on first serving takeaway coffees to customers who ordered after us. Very disappointed as they sell a premium brand of coffee which we now drive to the city to get - otherwise they would have our custom being just 3min down the road. A real shame.
Annette Smith
Awesome place food always good and great coffee plus wonderful people

The Cronut was DEVINE❕❕❕Will be back for another...

Great mocha frappe/iced mocha • Wouldn’t say it was the best I’ve had however does live up to the reviews. Will definitely need to try food next time we are in the area!
Amy Jack
Trendy little place to grab a bite and coffee to go. Mocha was spot on and muffin was tasty as. Been here a few times now.......highly recommended to all.
Mhairi_Hastings
Lovely place to have a bite to eat. My partner and I got a mushroom and spinach eggs Benedict and a chicken and cranberry bagel. The Benedict is the nicest we’ve had around here and the bagel was really tasty.
Marion Nash
Have been here several times and always had good service and food. This time was not as busy as it has been but still a few tables full. Empty plates had not been cleared from tables despite staff walking past with empty hands. Ordered ham cheese croissants, coffee and tea. Coffee came out first with tea pot. Eventually had to ask for a tea cup. Croissants were out of cabinet and were cold and took a long time. Highlight. of mottletop croissants in the past was the gerkin but this was a very small thin piece in both croissants today. Disappointing. Looks like we may need to find a new Sunday brunch spot.
Tim
Salad is great. Flat White, very seldom to have such good coffee taste. Cheese scone is with some onion chops inside. Yummy. <br/>Just the price is a little bit high. But worth to try.
Sarah Sherlock
The best-iced coffee I've ever had and great service. Perfect amount of sweetness. Would definitely recommend to others. It is a must try for all
Charles Salesi French
coffee supreme coffee is the best coffee out there. can't be beaten. so good to find this place that served coffee supreme. great coffee and friendly owners
Jessikaa Kararaina Mareroa
Best muesli in town 👌👌👌👌<br/>Great cabinet rolls, baps, sandwiches etc too....<br/>Am yet to try anything else as I Love the muesli too much 😀<br/>
Jayne Gutry
Good coffee nice surroundings quick service and great food. Eggs were fresh and bacon was real, none of that water injected stuff. Bought a scone too and it was light and fluffy
James Fraser Butler
The ham and cheese croissants are a very moorish delight. Ham off the bone / mild mustard and Ideal warmed up with the morning coffee. Well worth the investment!
Deborah Watson
Great food, friendly staff and a fabulous vibe. Found on a Monday when our first choice was shut. Very pleased we did too. Coffee was good too.
Stephy_NakiGirl
Great little spot in Papakura. Quirky decor & odd chairs & tables that don't match which adds to the atmosphere.<br/>Coffee nicely made. Had a pear & bran muffin on this visit, but usually have their housemade mince on toast. Well worth ordering if you like that kind of comfort food. The porridge & corn fritters are also really yum.
Liv
A cute little place that serves consistently great tasting coffee and always has a good selection of food available on the counter. I've eaten many things from their kitchen and all I have to say is all that comes out of there is pure tasty goodness. Good work.
Kaaaaaailah
The lady who bakes here is awesome ☺️ <br/>Her gingernut slice is to die for , along with the scrummy brownies and choc tarts 💕❣ the decor here is so cute ! Its a lovely place to stop in and have a coffee catch up with friends and family

AMBIANCE: Honest and homely. Family kitchen feel with natural woods and exposed brick. This is one of those cafes that is miles away, but everyone makes the journey to it anyway because it's so good. At least that's what it seems like..<br/>SERVICE: Friendly and prompt. Onto-it staff makes the process glide.<br/>COFFEE: Bean brand used is 'Supreme'. Top notch. One of my favourites and found throughout top level cafes in Wellington. The milk was a little over cooked but I'm not complaining with the standard of everything else going on in that paper cup. <br/>FOOD: Displayed across the counter elegantly. Freshly baked items were delicious. A main meal wasn't ordered on this trip. <br/>PRICE: Very reasonable for the quality.<br/><br/>OVERALL: I will return. This place would make a great 'regular' for the locals. Worth a weekend trip for those further afield.

Great tasting coffee everytime! Lovely staff and one of the best options for the area, good selection of cabinet food, only thing I would say is the bfast menu could be updated! Definitely head here for great coffee!
Chloe-Mae
Our local coffee bar- great coffee they use an amazing coffee (supreme-on of my fav) always fast and friendly- only down fall is they should do more cafe food for weekend brunches it's such a cool set up nice and cosy and would love to sit in and eat :-) there is defiantly the market for that in the area
Kathryn
Best cheese scones in auckland<br/>Consistently great coffee<br/>Always incredible food, but don't expect a huge selection - quantity doesnt translate into quality! Best do what you do awesomely <br/>That's what they do!
Fizzy
Great place, fantastic coffee and food. Very friendly owners. Best thing that happened to Papakura. Great now that there is more room to sit. Great atmosphere. Always busy. Highly recommend.
Tristan Gareth Vine
Papakura suffers a severe lack of decent coffee places. My wife and I usually drive 25min out of Papakura - past around 12 other cafes - to our favourite coffee place. We had heard mixed reviews about Mottletop; but that they served a good coffee so decided to try them out one morning. The place wasn't busy by any stretch, we placed our order and sat at a table outside. After watching several other people come in after us and go with their takeaway coffees while we waited, I enquired as to where our coffees were. The reply was that it was still coming. After half an hour of waiting, we went in and grumpily asked for a refund. <br/>I don't mind waiting for coffee - 10 minutes say, and I will happily wait longer -and understandably - if the place is busy. However having to wait half an hour, while other people come and go with theirs, while it is quiet, is totally rubbish. Great customer service is so hard to come by these days, and it is a surprise to find an independant cafe offering such lax service. One would think that they would be trying their hardest to make a good impression on customers, especially non regulars, to keep them coming back. So it looks like we will continue to drive 25min to get great coffee, receiving it within 10min even on a very busy day.

Friendly, great Coffees, good morning tea food, plenty of good books
