Been a regular here off and on for years. Moak coffee is just the best and don't get me started on the food...........Devine! Those 24 Bomboloni we picked up on Friday morning went down a treat with everybody in the office! Will be back again soon.
Amazingly priced, top quality. Just had a chocolate tart there and it's taken me an hour to get through half of it, able to save the other half for afternoon tea. Got slight blurred vision from it (a good thing). Phenomenal.
Why would you go anywhere else? Coffee great, good terrific and the staff are the best ;-) God is great Il Forno is better …
Where do I even start? This is hands down one of the top cafe's in Auckland. Incredible baking, lovely coffee and excellent food overall. Staff are always friendly and warm. I always enjoy coming here and recommend it to all my friends
why do only the whiners seem to post?!? I've been coming here since they opened and will keep coming here as long as Helane and Andrew are there. The food is fantastic, including (especially) when it isn't "bland perfect replication" every time, that's because it's hand crafted and not made for Starbucks or Mcdonalds. I love these guys and what they do, as much as I know they do.

Hands down the best pastries in town!!!
All of the food are generously portioned. The coffee is just average though. But this is definitely the place to go for your sweet tooth!
This cafe/brunch/meeting place is fabulous. We regularly meet friends here for brunch or a 🐷🐷 out. Their homemade Italian pastries and cream filled morsels are fabulous. We’ve eaten at many patisseries in Auckland. Il Forno would be our best choice. Always fresh, the best Italian coffee with great service. .... love this place. ❤️💚🧡💙
One of my new fave bakery shop on the list in Ponsonby. This place is definitely worth a try. We ordered bacon and egg quiche, almond croissant and cherry doughnut. Everything was pretty large portion and price was reasonable and yet still have the same quality as other higher ranking bakery shops. Their doughnut was really good with pretty good filling and it was super soft and fluffy👌🍴
Il Forno Barkey & Cafe. Yes. Very GOOD. Love their Almond croissant, Pies, Sandwiches, Donuts, danish and Cakes! I used to go almost every day, sometimes twice in a day as I worked nearby the cafe. I was totally addicted at the time. I am relief, I don't work nearby the cafe anymore as I just couldn't stop myself eating pie every day. I believe it is the best bakery in Auckland.
Came here on the recommendation of a friend. Good service. Food portions were reasonable size and tasty too. Coffee was great. Would definitely go again.
Surely the best selection of baked treats around Ponsonby.
What's doubly impressive is the prices are very good.
Only complaint is slow to be recognised and served at the display cabinet, lots of staff walking around.
Delectable authentic Italian pastries, this place is always busy. Super friendly staff, smooth strong coffee. A great "go-to" place on a Sunday.
Quite simply il Forno makes the best selection of donuts. Cream, jam, cinnamon, sugar yum. They also sell filled rolls, loaves, beautiful apricot slice, tasty breakfast, packaged dinners, large Xmas cakes, Christmas mince pies and awesome coffee. Then there’s Karla behind the counter she is so warm and friendly, with a heart of gold. Definitely love this place. Loads of locals, dog friendly and parking outside.
My wife and I come here all time. It's one of the cafes in Auckland that make amazing food and coffees. Would definitely recommend this place.
I go here whenever I go to Ponsonby and I'm never disappointed. Fantastic cooked breakfast, excellent coffee and superb pastries. The service is always friendly and fast.
Great range of cabinet food! The pastries are delicious! 10/10 for the donuts!! Definitely recommend!
I enjoyed a lovely morning coffee and tart here. I also had a champagne ham and brie croissant and took a donut and Danish to go for the hard day ahead..
The breakfast and coffee was quite unimpressive I'm sad to say. I had a decaf latte (which are rarely any good, perhaps inferior beans) which was a little on the bland side, and the croissant was quite overcooked so very brittle and hard. The chocolate tart filling was very nice, great flavour, but the base was nothing special. The donut and danish, I have to say, were absolutely delightful, great textures, flavours and extremely satisfying. Also the ambience and styling of the cafe is really cool, with the large wooden tables and rustic styling. The people were also friendly, which is always good. I would come back and perhaps order a normal latte and go straight for the donuts or danishes!
Great little Italian bakery and cafe. Plenty of yummy choices in the cabinet. I ordered the cooked breakfast - it was excellent. The bread was fresh and tasty. All the ingredients used were of top quality. The price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!
Cosy cafe, great variation of food and value for money. Shame about the old plastic plants on the wall.
It feels like discovering a hidden gem every time you walk into this place. The food is always amazing - from the fresh donuts and bread to the cooked meals to eat in to the frozen food you can take home for dinner that night. And the staff are always friendly and welcoming.
Great quality of baked goods, and coffee. The served meals are also very delicious when I've tried them. The cost is also very inexpensive for the area, making it my favourite bakery in the neighbourhood.
Very busy cafe, with great vibe. Big serves of food and great coffee. The breads to buy were amazing and the cakes etc in the cabinet looked delicious . Our family had Bacon & Eggs, Eggs Benedict, Full English, and I had the crepes. Would definitely recommend.
