Review The Shortland Street Cafe - Auckland Central

Matthew Adams
Lovely experience from beginning to end. Welcoming staff greeted us and quickly took our order. Smiles were friendly and warm. After our order they provided us a sweet snack since our food was taking a bit longer (however we did not notice). Food arrived and was delightful. Our party of 4 ordered waffles, an omelet, and avo toast. All the orders were plentiful and full of flavor. Seating was very open but probably due to Covid. So make your way down here and get some breakfast or lunch. Hours are 7am-2pm. Start your day off with a smile, coffee and some great eats.

Lovely little cafe in a nice location. The food was yum and service was amazing and quick! The staff were great and gave us discount on zomato gold even though it doesn’t work on Valentine’s Day so thanks for that! 10/10 would recommend

Not sure why this only gets 3.6? We popped in for a quick bite and enjoyed the food, drinks and service. The iced coffees were delish, if a bit filling! All day breakfast too which seems to be a rare thing in the CBD, with most places stopping before 11 for lunch! Free WiFi if you ask for the password, which is handy for us travellers!

A beautiful place to just sit down and hang out. Plenty of sunlight and the coffee is good.

This little cafe tucked away at the top of Shorty street is a great place to grab lunch. The menu is simple and full of yummy options. Food was really tasty and great service.

This is my everyday stop for MOCHA, great coffee that you can find in CBD, the only place serving breakfast whole day, the menu is on till 4 pm. Late lunch ? Or need coffee to get through the last bit of the day this is a place to go. Open till 4pm monday to friday. The food options are incredible ranging from muffins, paninis and the all day menu. My favourite is the pulled pork panini.

Wonderfully crisp smoko service, as pleasant as finding a cheeky tenner in your coat pocket. Cozy and low light in the back, open and breezy at the front with a view of the quirky Gus Fisher Art Galley. Refreshingly moderate sized muffins of absolute top quality. The usual winners of banana choc, raspberry white choc, blueberry, bran and something tasty, and super mundi choco face blast. The snickers Danish also looks dangerous. Coffee is beautifully strong.

Had the Falafel wrap which was delicious. The service was quick for a work lunch and take away. The server was friendly and engaging.

Good Service. I ordered acai bowl, it was good but it was on the runny side, would have been better if they used frozen bananas. There were lots of fruits in it as well.

The lamb shank with mashed & vegetables was lovely; the pancakes with bacon, banana & maple syrup, as dessert were excellent to finish our unfinished lunch we earlier had at Pilkingtons. <br/>(Food - 3.5/5; Service - 4/5; Ambience - 3/5)Visited on 6 May 2019

This place has good food, but the portion size is excruciatingly small. I tried it through a lunch special app and had a Ceaser Salad. It was good in taste, but it also had a quarter of an egg. Yeah you heard it, it had quarter of an egg. It felt like quite a rip-off, that meal. Although the food was good, I'll probably not go there again.

A quaint little café, Shortland St offers some nice savoury and sweet options. The rustic atmosphere coupled with friendly service will prompt you to return, however, they did take a while to complete our order of just two drinks, a matcha latte and an iced chocolate. Both drinks were prepared well though.

The coffee I had was perfect, it was hot which is how I like it, I also had a yoyo cookie which was so soft and buttery, melted in my mouth.

My favourite coffee on Shortland st. Good coffee card and friendly safe. Good ambience less formal than many of the other cafes on Shortland st. Good muffins.
James Blackwell
Woah! What a surprise this place turned out to be for me.I had a coffee here earlier in the week, and as the coffee was pretty good and food looked OK, I went back today for a breakfast. I am so glad I did.<br/><br/>All I have to say is that the Eggs Benedict was served on homemade hash browns instead of muffins or toast! Which in my book is an absolute winner! Totally inspired, and gives a really nice surprise to a standard breakfast offering.<br/><br/>Staff pretty friendly also. The cafe itself is a little unassuming, but beautifully decorated within. Definitely recommend. It's worth the small stroll from Queen St and the waterfront to head here!

Family friendly, great atmosphere, tasty coffee and delicious food! Everyone was super friendly and super fast service. Very trendy and good vibe

Very friendly service and great coffee.  I had the feta and avocado smash on toast.  It was really tasty and well seasoned.  It was served with some warm tomatoes that had been cooked with care; the beautiful tart-sweet flavour shone through.  Would have loved a little bit more of the reduction that was served with it as after a while the feta became a bit overwhelming.  Coffee very good.  Gets busy after around 7.30am on a week day as everyone gets coffees / breakfast before heading off to work.

Went here for a breakfast on the run this morning. I was greeted by a very friendly lady behind the counter who served me and got me a spinach and mozzarella twist. They heated it and it was pretty good, the flavour was there but the filling was a bit strange. I would definitely come back after seeing what else they had in the cabinet and on the menu!
Las Akurugoda
Was a ok experience overall. Went for breakfast with few friends. My eggs were overcooked but the staff sorted that put very quickly. Food was good but wasn't great value for money.
Rebecca MacDonald
This was the perfect spot for a pre work breakfast catch up with a friend. There were lots of business breakfast meetings going on but still room for us to grab a table.<br/>We couldn't decide between the smashed avocado and the zucchini fritters so we got both to share along with coffees. The smashed avocado was amazing! The zucchini fritters wasn't what I expected, more omelette than fritter and not really up my alley.

Food and coffee here is great with a constant number of paleo versions thrown in for good pressure. Portion sizes are on the mean side and pricing on the high side making this an occasional venue rather than a standard go to.

Despite working not far away for many years I had missed this place (or it had not appealed). Finally went in late May 2015 and the lack of customers was an ominous sign.<br/><br/>However the coffee was great, snacks good and the staff friendly. The place is clean and deserves to be much busier.<br/><br/>Price was reasonable.

This used to be the rather odd place with the suit of armour outside. Now renovated into stripped-back city centre cool. Offers a decent set of lunch salads, filled rolls etc. My lunch was a totally acceptable if unexceptional beef and peppers on noodles, with an expertly decorated flat white that appeared to be a self-portrait by the baristress.
Amy Webb
I was tempted into trying this places based on their awesome interior! Had a breakfast of sourdough with smashed avo + feta with roasted tomatoes for lunch. Really generous with the avo, and such a great price. <br/><br/>Also had a chai latte, was perfect. Will definitely be trying coffee next time. The staff seemed a little unsure of themselves but considering this is a relatively new, I'm sure they will pick it up quickly.
