I've taken a very long time to make it to this cafe, and I admit it with a bit of shame. I only live a few blocks away and drive past it almost every day.
So when my kids went back to school, I took the chance and rushed in for a breakfast. I was greeted so well, there was no way to walk away from it. I looked at the menu, which can be small for some, but I find it perfect as I don't have to think too much. Ordered the pancakes, which was heaven on earth. Paired with a chai, it was just what I needed.
But wait, there is more! I had my baby with me. As soon as I got there, I was shown a table, and before I could blink, a high chair was set up for her.
Baby was in a good mood, and smiled enough for me to take my time. A few minutes later, a plate with a sliced banana in the shape of a smiley face was handed to us.
I don't care about any other review you might read from now on. But you need to know that this is a place where these small things mean so much - it makes the food taste even better. Kindness was the dish of the day for me and I absolutely loved it.
I now have the duty to go there more often, thanks to the small details in good service. You will not regret going there.
As for me, I will go back to taste the mortadella sandwich. Just wait! ��
Fantastic new place staff were very friendly and the coffee and food was yum😊
Been going here for a while and every time their customer service is amazing! Always a great vibe. I personally got the Eggplant Parm and the Cinnamon Bun which are both vegetarian. The eggplant parm is probably the best sandwich I've had in Auckland and would recommend it to any vegetarian! 5/5
I usually don’t write reviews but these guys are nailing at what they are doing. The toasties, especially the fish (smokey bro) was top notch. I’d comeback every time I come near this area 👍👍
The pancake is SO GOOD. The combination is simple and classic, with caramelized walnuts, caramlized bananas whipped cream and maple syrup, but they made it perfect. The famous cinnamon roll was pleasant too.
And loved the sandwich named Daisy, which is a sourdough sandwich filled up by slow cooked beef and melted edam cheese.

🥪▪️Smokey Bro & Daisy Sandwiches-4/5▪️🥪.
Tucked away on a corner in New Windsor is this cute little cafe. The staff are friendly and very attentive which made my customer experience estimable. The ambience of the place is lovely and although it is quite a small cafe, I suggest it’s best not to go during peak hours. We arrived around 10:30 and there wasn’t an available table inside so we were seated outside which we didn’t mind. The food we ordered probably took a total of 10-15mins to be served which is a good waiting time. I ordered the Smokey bro sandwich which came in a toasted brioche bun instead of the standard bread slices. I didn’t mind that and actually preferred it that way. The smoked khawai mixed with the cream fraiche in my sandwich was DELICIOUS. I would’ve loved another lemon wedge just to give it but more of a zingy taste but that still didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed my sandwich. My sister-in-law ordered the daisy sandwich of beef and pickled onion which she too enjoyed. The chips were crispy and delicious. We also ordered the donut and cinnamon bun to takeaway which I highly recommend to order as well. Both items were fresh, soft and moist. Definitely suggest to try this place👍
It was a cute little cafe, the atmosphere was lively and adorable. The cinnamon bun, $5 tasted yummy but wish they could have heated it up. I also order medium mocha which was $4.5 but the cup was TINY and the coffee tasted a little bland, maybe burnt? Not sure. Overall I still enjoyed it and would still come back for the cinnamon bun or try their donut.
Wish this nicely formed cafe was in my neighbourhood!! Visited on the back of a favourable review recently and it didn’t disappoint. Loved the Daisy sandwich and my flat white was the perfect temperature, bravo. Slightly pricey but worth it for the quality of ingredients and friendly service. It’s a small space and I can imagine it would pack out pretty quick. Their menu offering is tight but I’m guessing what they do they do very well, which is how it should be. One observation - as a single lunching alone I didn’t want to hog a table, but found the stools were uncomfortably low for the window bench top (or bench top too high..), so ended up sitting at the last remaining (free) table inside.
Will definitely visit again and recommend to others.
This hidden gem never fails to disappoint !! Amazing food and great service. Highly recommend :)
Fantastic coffee and delectable baked goods all prepared by a team of super friendly folks. And not badly priced either. Great vibe from a very unassuming place in the burbs. Get there early to avoid missing out on the cinnamon rolls and cream buns which sell out very fast!
Wow!!!!! I ordered an off menu item being the special vegan sandwich and it was absolutely amazing!!!!! Hash brown, mustard, chutney, pickled onions and lettuce. Highly highly recommend, I will be back for sure. Thank you so much Hare and Turtle!
My favourite place for sammies and cinnamon rolls. Great service, everyone is so positive and the food is just amazing. My most fave is Eggplant Parm, even though I tried every single sandwich there 😋😄 Baloney is a good one too, love pickled onions.
The eggplant parm sandwich is amazing, everything is just right together. I love to try something else next time and I will definitely recommend it to my friends
Super impressed by the cinnamon roll and iced maple latte I had here. Delicious. Coffee has been mostly a miss at most places I’ve been to in Auckland but this definitely was not one of them.
Very friendly staff too!
Best sandwich ever had in breakfast.
Service was amazing …definitely would come back….big cheers👍
The Hare & the Turtle is where its at for amazing food & service!! This is my 2nd time co.ibg here for breakfast nd not only are the people absolutely amazing, cheerful nd friendly, THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY SCRUUUMPTIOUS!!!! I %100 recomend, if youre on the area to pop in nd grab a coffee nd/or something to eat cause you will not be dissappointed!! 10/10 guys 👍🏻😊💛
This place is incredible. The grilled cheese sandwiches and breakfast buns were absolutely to die for, fries also on point and the sweet cinnamon roll and coffee was perfect for washing it down. Portion sizes were perfect, and everything was reasonably priced! Hare & Turtle you stunner. Located in blockhouse bay auckland this spot is tucked away but you can immediately tell its popular from the swathes of people stopping by. The service was perfect from ordering to it being delivered - super friendly staff and very helpful.
Delicious! Lots of cute little details. Love this shop！
This place is good but be warned that they do not have the breakfast menu that is in some of the older photos. I was pretty bummed they didn’t have pancakes or other brunch items when I arrived- but they do have two breakfast sandwiches available (amongst a menu of more lunch-type sandwiches) and cinnamons rolls that did not disappoint! The coffee was also very good and they had lots of options for tea as well.
Excellent coffee.
Lovely staff. Great welcoming nature.
Ambience is amazing.
