Drinking coffee overlooking Aotea square on a sunny day with free unlimited sparkling water. Great location, friendly staff, comfy, warm and some good baristas. This is a choice place to hang out when you need to kill some time in central Auckland.
We just had my daughter's first birthday there ... we have had an amazing time there . Great food , great location , lovely and friendly staff and good place to host your party . We had around 100 guests including 24 toddlers and we all have had a great time there ...
I went to Box Cafe & Bar this afternoon before my sister's graduation and ordered a cappuccino and flat white. The coffees were served promptly and we're of good quality. If you're after a quick coffee, I'd recommend Box Cafe & Bar to family, friends, and followers.
The pizzas are great. Delicious amount of toppings and slightly salty which made them amazing. Just right with a lovely cold glass of sav. A great atmosphere and outlook over the square.
A nice new look for The Box interior wise, a good menu, had the Chicken quiche and was very delicious. Service was really good, would like to try out the coffees and hot chocolate but have heard good words.
Nice food and ambience. I absolutely love their interior. Customer service is also good. We had their chicken quiche and bacon and egg pie. They are worth a try.
Love the new look decor and the extended seating area is a bonus! Not sure how comfy the new chairs would be and chose the padded bench seating over the low slung coffee table chairs. Coffee is fine, however the draw for me is Harney & Sons tea, particularly the African Sunset. Cabinet food is cabinet food at the end of the day, and no amount of zhuzhing will make it any better - not a fan of reheated pastry, although the tart fillings are tasty.
The Box Cafe is a perfect go to when skating in Aotea Square. The current setting is perfect for the chilly weather as they have blankets available to use when dining or having a coffee at the cafe. The workers are approachable and friendly which made the transaction easy. I highly recommend the hot chocolate ad it is quite nice and they use melted chocolate to make it. Overall, this cafe is amazing and is doing everything quite well. Would definitely go back and just hang out there whenever ay the pop up ice rink or if in the mood for something warm.
Had breakfast here. I had chicken sandwich and my boyfriend had muesli and Latte.
My sandwich was delicious with Brie cheese and it was good portion.
Muesli was ok in the other hand, it was not with fresh fruits.
We paid around 20$ for this and out side patio was beautiful. We will come back again :)
