Review Curator Espresso Bar - Auckland Central

R B
One of the most popular inner city Auckland coffee places. Terrifically fresh food with a friendly and welcoming staff. First quality in every way. Recommended to everyone who wants the best coffee and memorable home cooked food of quality.

Non-touristic, intimate, hidden and lovely. No pretensions, great coffee, love the mini sandwiches - sometimes you just want a nibble or a small bite next to your coffee. amazing service so polite and friendly but not pushy.

Jaosn has a fantastic rage if yummy food and coffee. Try the nitrogen cooled cold brew or the Ethiopian furity belnd for you long black. A convenient location for a coffee after wandering through the museum. Great service, great taste! There's also a pair of disabled parks out the front if you need mobility parking.

Had a glass of the iced coffee and it was incredible. They do single origin at a great value. Service was prompt and staff was very friendly. This coffee shop is just out of the way enough to make it nice, quiet spot for a cup.

Best cafe I have found in Auckland, always willing to walk further to be able to get a coffee here over anywhere else. Keep up the good work and quality coffee
Jonah McIntire
Very well made coffees, done quickly. The owners are experimenting and improving their approach. Definitely a go-to for coffee when nearby

Awesome spot! Beautiful coffee, friendly staff and nitrogen infused cold brew on tap! Heaven! Small but great cabinet of tasty treats and their hand made granola was lovely. Definitely pop in if you're near the Art Gallery.

Great coffee, Jason takes a lot of pride and care making his coffee perfect. Protein balls and mini sandwiches also great. Excellent little spot tucked away near the art gallery.

SUch a wonderful secret spot to stumble upon. We were a group of 11 and our coffees and teas came lightening fast even with only 1 staff member working. πŸ‘Œ Thank you!

A cute little coffee shop just opposite of Auckland gallery. They serve a really nice coffee and friendly service too! I love the simple and relaxing interior, will be back again

Curator is a cute little cafΓ© just opposite Auckland Art Gallery. From their small range of cabinet food, I ordered a mince and cheese pie and an egg & ham mini-sandwich. The pie came with tomato sauce and was filling without being greasy. The bits of corn and peas inside were a nice touch. The pastry was tasty, though not amazing. <br/><br/>I’d say this is more of a takeaway coffee shop, but a few people did stay and sit. Despite being a bit pricey (perhaps targeting the tourists visiting the gallery?), I enjoyed their friendly service and chill vibe.

Love the coffee there! Best of the bests in town! Owner is very nice, great customer services :) A small latte really gets me going for the whole day
Food Lover
Been there quite a few times. Good food some items do sell out quickly and great customer service very humble and attentive to their customers, keep it up.

my best coffee in town ! whenever I have a chance I get my coffee here. also staff are always lovely and nice ! my favorite is their flat white. It’s just sooooo good!

Friendly hospitality with great coffee and a surprisingly tasty cabinet selection that's made in-house.<br/><br/>My go to is the cheese and ham croissant where they microwave to melt the cheese and ensure the insides are heated before finishing it in the press to make the outside toasted and crisp. The extra step doesn't seem like much but it makes a world of difference when so many cafes seem happy to serve cold or lamely half-heated pastries and sandos from a micro. My girlfriend and I have tried a few different drinks and cabinet items and always leave feeling satisfied.<br/><br/>The difference at Curator is that you can feel the care and thought that's gone into every menu item and every step of the ordering and fulfilment process.<br/>

Great coffee and food !!! Modern and bright designed cafe as well as pleasant friendly Barista Jason :)<br/>Recommend nitro cold brew, specialty coffee with beautiful flavor.
Kirsten
I always try and find time to go cafe hunting when I'm in the CBD, so I was super keen to try out the coffee from this hidden gem! Customer service was spot on, and their coffee is just one of a kind. The barista knows what he's doing to make that cappuccino look and taste great! Coming back here for that daily grind and to try their cabinet food!

Gotta say I do highly enjoy my early mornings when I make Curator my first stop. I'd go so far as to say it's my favourite coffee in the city. Friendly folk, and a nice space. I would say I'd love to see them expand their food offering a little, going a bit outside the box. Obviously its a small place, and can't go too overboard, but this place would be ideal alongside a solid bagel offering or something similar.
Michelle Chua
Also one of my favourite store along my way to uni :) <br/>Love the set up of the place, really nice and cosy. <br/>Would normally go there for my typical combo tea and my banana cake. <br/>What makes it different than the rest is that, they toast my banana bread till it's really good. Just perfect for me. Not too burnt or soggy. Just nice and crispy. And it is always perfect. 😁 <br/><br/>Highly recommend you guys to come and try if you're in a rush to go somewhere, Pop by and grab a drink or a savoury
Tash Foster
Hands down best coffee in the city. Funky little place with passionate, knowledgeable baristas, good food, friendly service and really well-priced. These guys really know their stuff and deliver top-notch brews with smiles and aplomb. There's a level of good old-school hospitality going on here, too - visit often and they'll remember your name, order and any other little quirks you may have. Definitely one of Auckland's hidden gems. Well worth a visit, and if you work in the CBD very worth making your regular.
Stacey Fisher
Visited this place while visiting the auckland art gallery. Must say, a small but funky espresso bar. <br/>My espresso was fantastic and smooth and my husband had a cafe latte. Both great coffee. <br/>Got talking to the barista about the blends and their barista courses they hold. <br/>Very cool place.
Owen Fox
Came here for a quick cuppa during my lunch break and was very impressed. Coffee was outstanding and the team here knew alot about coffee. <br/>Decided to have a second and tried their single origin. Again, very good coffee. <br/>Place is bright and feels hip with a quirky Melbourne feel. <br/>Recommend to all<br/>
Brittany Gray
Very cute little cafe tucked away just above the busy main streets of Auckland city, diffidently one of Aucklands hidden gems. If you're looking for delicious and fresh coffee made well look no further. Visited the other day in search of somewhere central to grab a coffee on the go and I think I've found my new regular. The staff where friendly and the barista was fast and on point will definitely be back for more!
