This is our regular breakfast spot! They serve a delicious eggs bene and have great coffee! Their prices are quite low meaning great value
For some reason I don’t have lots of photos here, but I have come a few times, great for a catch up with mates, always great vibes , especially the “outdoor” area. The food here is pretty epic too.
Recommend for an all round experience- catch up, drinks and food. Best place for that in Kingsland
Phil’s Kitchen often brings happy memories of delicately-placed dishes with micro-herbs and velvet seating. If that was considered a fresh take to fine dining, then Phil Clarke’s new venture across the road is a fresh take on family dining. We loved the sun streaming in from the wooden French doors and bright white ceilings and tableware. There’s a distinct modern kiwi home vibe to everything with its powder blue accents, white subway tile feature walls and a large grey lounging sofa complete with an overflowing tox box.
Everything on the menu was generous in portion and just freaking delicious. The calamari was succulent and in all honesty, a little bit dangerous – while the angus sirloin, according to Piripiri, is the best he’s ever tasted. And… can just we talk about that Beef Cheek burger? The meat was so soft and tender it fell apart (in the best possible way) with a gentle nudge of the fork. Why aren’t more people talking about this place? For the love of food, just go.Check out our individual food reviews here: husk.co.nz/lunches/kingsland-social-nov-2018
Absolutely love this place! Friendly, fun environment for a family outing or for a relaxed gathering with friends. The food is incredible quality, presentation and flavour. An absolutely must go!
Really tasty, interesting food - and reasonable prices. The breakfast servings were very generous and tasted fabulous. The coffee was the best I've had in ages.
I'll be back to try lunch and diner.
Fantastic new resturant in Kingsland. The staff and owners are lovely and friendly. Extremely child friendly with a play area and even a weekly mums and bub's coffee meeting on a thursday morning.
Coffee is excellent and hot! lovely fresh Baguettes and croissants daily.
will definitely be back and cant wait to try their dinner menu
Had brunch last Saturday with my wife. The coffee was great but it took a while. At the time we came, there was one waitress, one barista and one person in the cashier. I ordered the Royal Crumpet and she ordered the Eggs Benedict. One of my eggs were overcooked but still tasted great. I would probably come back for the coffee. A nice little cafe in Kingsland but nothing really special about it.
A Relaxed, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We found the open spaces and high ceiling very comforting and inviting. We espied families, couples and solo patrons alike (an A+ for the Cosmopolitan ambience), the lighting was perfect for engaging conversation with our friends and enhanced further by the sumptuous fare. Every dish tasted as it appeared. Color and plating also were very pleasing to the eye. Thank you for presenting a new unique standard to Anytime-Eating. We recommend a true must for your personal stable of favorite eatouts.

Newly opened. Barista wasn’t having a particularly good day today, first coffee was average at best. Chicken breast was superbly cooked, one of the better ones I’ve had.
Amazing new place in Kingsland. Ceaser salad was fresh and full of fresh chicken! 6.50 for a Heineken. Cheapest in Kingsland!! Highly recommend
SO GOOD! The food is INCREDIBLE..I have never had mushrooms on toady like that before. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu ❤️
You know when you go on vacation, and you love to explore, but you find a place that draws you back again and again? Well, Kingsland Social is such a place. We stopped here our first day for lunch, and it was AMAZING. Everything we ordered, fried chicken, caesar salad, and pasta were all excellent. I have come back since for coffee and work time.
The vibe is kid-friendly with a play area for the little ones, free wifi with plenty of seating, and it big and bright. The owner was cool and the place just feels super local.
In the past I spent 10 years reviewing breakfast cafes in Sydney and while on holiday in NZ of all places I find a cafe that has impressed me more than anything else for a long time. The Royal Crumpets were ordered sans eggs. The combination of bacon, onion marmalade and parmesan was made all the more impressive because of the quality. The bacon was thick cut so it really stood out. It was all brought together by a near perfect hollandaise that was creamy as it should be, with the right amount of tang. And crumpets rather than the usual toast/croissant/muffin helped to set it apart.
It just got better with house made rosti and a beef sausage with dense flavoursome interior and a delightful snap.
Decadent mint hot chocolate and cappuccino to drink on the side coupled with fantastic service simply made for my favourite breakfast cafe after 2 weeks of dining out in NZ. Thank you, Kingsland Social team!
The service and food is excellent.
For me the detail and quality of the food always makes me feel good and happy. Thanks 🙏
A fabulous dining experience for a Saturday night. Great vibes, exceptional food by the owner and superb Chef, Phil and expertly served by his lovely wife. Will be back
Very delicious coffee & food. Took a little bit of time to get our food served but there’s only one chef cooking for everyone so it was understandable. Will definitely visit again soon.
Love their own baked bread. The servings were generous and foods we've ordered were all flavourful. Service was great too!
We hosted my friend's baby shower here, as a normal table booking not function booking. The service was exceptional. Leading up to the day, Marine was so lovely to deal with, very accommodating and no request was too much trouble. Emails were responded to in a matter of minutes. We booked for 20 people for lunch and I made a special request for 20 cupcakes (from the function menu, not normal menu) which Marine had no problem sorting out for me. When we arrived the tables were all set with a cupcake in front of each chair and it was so beautiful. We were able to bring a few helium balloons no problem. The ambiance was so nice, the service was great, and we had an amazing afternoon. Thank you for allowing us to hang out for 2+ hours catching up with friends. Based on this level of service for a simple table booking, I would certainly consider booking this venue out for a proper function in future.
A wonderful cafe with excellent food! Kid friendly as well. The beef cheek was cooked to perfection! Highly recommended.
Nice place, had fresh apple & pear juice and calamari salad
