Eggs bene was amazing, burger with chips was very tasty, creamy mushroom was delicious! Their chips!!! Best chips ever.
We had a late Sunday lunch here. I had the Beef Salad and my partner had the Caesar salad with chicken, with a large bowl of beer battered fries between us.
The meal portions were very generous and the food was delicious.
The staff were super friendly which really made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
We felt the pricing was pretty good too.
Would highly recommend this place and we'll definitely be back.
Small cafe across the beautiful beach along The Parade, tucked at the back away from the cars and noise.
Bucklands Expresso offers a simple yet diverse all day breakfast menu as well as an appetising lunch menu from 12 onwards.
I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and had the choice of choosing it on top of hash browns instead of the standard english muffin which I found delicious and would definitely get again.
Their mocchachino was served quickly and accompanied my meal nicely as well.
Overal this is a great place for breakfast and brunch near the waterside for small groups, and I would definitely come here again!
I love this cafe. We keep coming back as it’s a beautiful setting and the food is delicious. Every meal I’ve had has been top notch- my favs are the apple and cinnamon French toast and the salmon avo eggs on ciabatta, but all the dishes are great. Coffees are strong and smooth and the best part is the friendly respectful conscientious staff - Mary and her chefs are so lovely. Definitely recommend
A small cafe with delicious food and 5 stars services. All their staffs even the chef will say hello and smile with you when you visit there.
I am sure that i will come back here next time .
Great food and great services with the waitresses and barista always make me happy when i come !
Lovely place and the best creamy mushroom i have tried before
Went to the cafe for a lunch and all in all it was OK, not a really wow factor. The coffee was really good and made the way I like it. My wife had the salt and pepper squid which was really tasty and well prepared. My daughter had the french toast with the cinnamon apples. The portion of apples were too big for the amount of toast, but all in all very tasty. I had nice piece of scotch fillet, chips and a salad. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender with great crunchy chips. The quality of the food we had for the price paid was really good. The decor is a bit underwhelming and it could do with a few changes. All in all it was nice, not a wow.
This cafe is amazing and exactly what the area has needed the food is great the staff are very friendly the new owner is doing a great job much better than the previous rude owner, and something that is never a let down is the coffee is is absolutely amazing
First off - excellent coffee. Easily in my top ten for Auckland. The chilled-out-by-the-beach vibe makes this a great place to start the day, or to unwind. Loved the breakfast burger and did I mention the coffee ? One of my fave places for sure.
Lovely service! Every time I have come here for a coffee the staff have been super friendly! I come here often for after I go for a walk along the beach and always enjoy the coffee :) I ordered the quinoa vegetable salad, and asked for all dairy items to be removed as I am vegan, they were very nice and offered to out some more salad (cucumber and tomato) to replace the feta which I thought was really nice of them! I definitely got my money's worth as I really enjoyed the salad, long black and the service!
Edit: Good local Cafe, coffee is always good here. Food is lovely and service is excellent. Freshly made muffins were lovely, hot out of the oven. Excellent Covid-19 safety protocols in place. Order one end and pick up around the corner. It can get quite busy during summer
Great coffee, lovely staff. Lots of outdoor seating under a shady awning. A short walk to the waterfront. Plenty of parking right outside. Very reassuring that staff are checking vaccination passes on entry. Large flat white is $4.80, a bargain price
Lovely service, yummy food and delicious coffee. Great setting near the beach.
Nice smile on the face when you handed your coffee which is so delicious.
Excellent carrot cake and coffee to boot! Very reccommendable coffee!!!!!!!
Cute local cafe with lovely service and reasonable prices
In level 3 .1 lock down, good fast service of well made hot coffee with a good blackboard display of cakes and slices. Excellent system one entrance for ordering and one for pick up. Good space to que at correct distances.
I took my young son for breakfast on a Saturday morning. We were greeted warmly and cheerfully. The staff were friendly. The food was good. The creamy mushrooms had good flavour and the bacon and eggs pretty standard although the staff accommodated a request for boiled eggs without blinking. We have been avoiding this cafe for a couple of years following bad experiences. Now we're happy to return.
Can’t believe this place is closing :( I’d moved to a different area, then we had lockdown etc Came back on three separate occasions to say hi again but was always closed when I went. So sad to hear this news. It was a brilliant cafe with tasty food, good coffee and lovely staff. Hope everyone is ok. Great memories. Will miss it!
Always feel welcomed here , the coffee is great. The food I have had here is delicious. Have been reading some of the other reviews but sorry some people don’t know where they are because what they say and who is running the place ISN’T here.
