One of the best things of working out of Newmarket is that you're in no short of coffee spots. There's no excuse for bad coffee. Thankfully Billy delivers.
Popped over for a meeting and had to stop by. The long black was strong and hit the mark. Service was super friendly. Choc chip muffin was the cherry on the top. Perfect for a 2pm pick me up!
Struck initially by the very friendly service. The food was prepared really quickly and made for a a nice and simple brunch. Simple done well. It was quite busy and the space and tight so it may be worth going at a quieter time if you do not enjoy being in too close proximity to other humans
Favourite Cafe at the moment. We just keep coming back and back. Great coffee, food never disappoints.
This cafe is very close to the Hospital and Grafton Campus and is one of the nicer cafes to grab a bite to eat when studying. I came here this morning with a friend for breakfast and we had a great time. I had the chorizo omelette which was really lovely. Good portion and flavour. The staff were attentive and friendly. The hot chocolate was nice and sweet and hit the spot.

Sitting on the Domain side of Newmarket, is a cozy little cafe Billy. There's a reason that this little place is often packed. The baristas know exactly what they are doing, perfectly brewing up Supreme coffees every time. They also have a great range of brunch menus to go with your coffee, and the scenic view of the Domain is a finishing touch to your Billy experience.
I really enjoyed the omelette! It came with grilled tomatoes, veges and you can choose between chorizo and egg plant. I got the eggplant and it was very good. Portions were also appropriate but it would have been nice if it came with some sourdough! It was also a bit of a walk from the Newmarket town area but it was worth it :)
Ordered their Coconut French toast, I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and coconut flavour was not powerfully strong either. Adding granola and rhubarbs made the french toast stand out from your usual. The dish had both a grilled banana AND strawberries! All the dishes on the menu are priced quite reasonably.
Coffee (long black) was great too, loved their cute mugs!
Service is friendly. Plenty of seats both inside and outside of the café (although you may have to share tables if its busy).
I was worried about Car parking but there were plenty of spaces nearby, I parked in George St. if you're lucky you may even score the couple of free spaces in front of the café.
My friend took me here and I totally fall in love with this lovely place. I had the Vegan Breakfast so flavourful and yummy but the crispy kale was a bit greasy. My friend had the Egg Benedict which was very delicious as well. Coffee here was perfect and thanks for letting us try the cold brew and I loved it!

By far, my favourite cafe in Auckland. Billy is always here to impress. Their cold brew and filter are some of the best in town and its hard to say no to their delectable Hashbrown Sandwich!
Friendly team. Be expected to wait for a table during the weekend
Food: Was delicious! I ordered the vegan breakfast, everything tasted fantastic. Loved the mix of bright veggies, unique bread and extra crispy hash brown.
Coffee was divine!
Service: The staff were so friendly and kind. The barista was so lovely to make a coffee with pretty art, as she noticed I was taking a picture, thank you so much for this fantastic service!

Wasn’t a huge fan of the white part of the poached eggs but. Would still recommend this place. Customer service is so warm and lovely and the atmosphere is gorgeous! The fruit smoothies as well are amazing! And the bacon was cooked perfectly!
I’m a huge fan of Billy Cafe. If I’m looking at the menu options, I generally struggle to look past the Hash Brown Sandwich. You will not be disappointed. The iced lattes always hit home as well. Great location in Newmarket, looking straight across to the domain. Get involved!

Highly recommend the vegan breakfast here (I am not vegan, but it tasted delicious!)
Great wee spot overlooking the Auckland museum and the domain park.
Coffee was great as well.
Best coffee around Newmarket, best scones too.
I tried their hash brown sandwich once and I hated it, but after trying their coffee and scones I changed my mind about the place. Stick to cabinet food and you’ll have consistently awesome coffee and delicious food
Have had Sunday brunch nice little care by the domain. Very nice staff and good service. Has an American flavour so there is different fried food choices but also some nice healthy choices. I had the mushrooms which were yum but would not choose the thick cut bacon again because not into the fat enough. My partner had the cheese burger but in a deconstructed manner as he likes it better that way. The lady next to us just ordered off the sides menu which is great if you do not want a big meal and she highly recommends the hash browns.

September 2022: Still a great place to have a morning snack
We really appreciate this cafe gem.
A few weeks ago we accidentally came across their chocolate & berry muffins that were amazing. They've been experimenting with them since then. For instance, today (13 March 2022) they put some 🧀 in. But we prefer just 🍫 🫐: fresh, warm, and moist.
Great coffee, good view overlooking the domain, interesting food options and some creative ideas around their burgers. Good service as friendly staff.
Absolutely stunning outlook of the domain. Well covered outside and not windy. The hash brown stack is their signature dish and is really good, and very filling. Use supreme coffee and make it extremely well. Not a huge number of tables but you never need to wait long
It is easy to pass this cafe when you walk down Carlton Gore cause it lives under the Fuji Xerox building.
The place is quite small but they do have a few large tables inside as well as some smaller ones outside. The menu has a fair selection of items for both food and drink. I tried the double cheese mushrooms and an iced chocolate.
The iced chocolate was ok. Think it needed a bit more of a chocolate bite. The cheesy mushrooms were nice. I quite liked the jalapenos with the mushrooms so they were a bit different from other places. Most items are under $20. Friendly service and quite close to work so a really good lunch option.
The coffee is the best around. Cabinet food took a while to appear, but they were under the pump making coffee. That is their 'gold star' product after all.
