The staff were very friendly and professional and lovely to talk to. The location is amazing. Tucked away a little. The interior is gorgeous and gives a peaceful ‘lazy day’ vibe which I enjoyed. The food was absolutely amazing and I enjoyed every minute of being there. Would 100% recommend
What a Nice little spot for lunch. Plenty of parking outside which makes it easier to access. The place has a nice wooden feel and decorated well .The service was excellent, food came and quickly and more importantly tasted delicious!
When you first visit the cafe the first thing you see is how comfy, casual and beautiful the place is decorated. Their food was good but was quiet pricey too. I would recommend the vegetarian burger which comes with a small side of fries for any vegetarians out there or even meat eaters to try as it is filling. Though I would sat that they do not have a large variety of vegetarian options.

Our first time here and it was quite easy to find Look for the bridge and it's by there. The cafe is below the road level and only the roof can be really seen. It can be tricky to pull in and out the entrance as this road can get busy at times? Be weary
Pulled in n happy to see lots of parking for customers, The layout of the building is nice, reminds of a Lockwood homes with the use of timbers and plants. Furnishings are eclectic mix of 70/80's but cosy and comfy.
The menu didn't seem extensive so assumed the cooks may be inexperienced? We ordered the lasagna from the display case for me, the salmon bennie for slave girl and veggie tofu stack for wifey? Drinks were a large late and a large mocha. Came to $55.00. I thought it was bit pricey but thought I'd wait to see what the portions were like. Lasgne came out rewarmed, it was a good portion and it wasn't nuked to death. It tasted good, nice balance of tangyness, not too salty, cheese hadn't been obliterated into a perforated membrane so good all round. Wifey veggie stack looked very fresh and mouth watering with lots of salad, slave girls salmon bennie was well presented as bennies go. Both were very tasty, portions were good size neither were dry, overcooked or too salty! Consumed very quickly. Compliments to the cooks
The place has a great vibe is comfy, airy and well lit. nice ambiance with a mix of elderly, young couples and families. The building is modern with excellent insulation in the big windows, so nice and warm. Outdoor area looked very inviting but the showers earlier shut that option out! The service is good with very nice young cheerful polite staff.
The two seater tables are bit too small for my liking, big enough for a game of chess I guess but not for my frame. Violation of airspace with the neighboring table may be concerning
Will be back to try other dishes on offer. Place should be great during the summer! Thank you source. Really want to grade you a 4.5.
Came here for lunch and ordered the chicken burger. The shoestring fries that came with it were hot and well seasoned. However the chicken was a little dry and tough. Plating presentation was nice and rustic.
Staff were super friendly and I love the aesthetic decor and nature elements in the cafe. It’s really unique and different 😍
Food - 3.5/5
Ambience - 5/5
Service - 4/5
Had brunch here with friend. Firstly impressed by the spacious car park and nice wooden decoration. Staffs were friendly and the serving of food was fast. Ideal place for daytime chill out.
The only downside, there was too many flies around outside tables.

I love it when cafes deliver on quality and quantity, rare feat in fact as cafes I feel don’t think you can have both quantity and quality, Source Cafe is one of the few places that provides both quality and quality!
The big breakfast actually is a big breakfast, and I adored how they put minimal salt and pepper on the meal( some might not like this so just a warning ). We also had the sausage roll which is what a sausage roll is suppose to be, not like one of those flimsy Big Ben ones you get from dairy’s. This one had real chunks of meat, and the filo was thin and crispy. Also as a little treat we had a berry chocolate muffin, pretty standard you will assume but the muffin here actually has a chocolate block in the middle! Imagine my surprise when I sliced in half to see the melted brown gooey goodness leak out.
It’s quite clear here that Source Cafe puts a emphasis on food that they will be serving and they should be applauded for doing so. I want to give credit to the owners of this fine establishment for doing cafe food right.
Showstopper: Fresh, creative and tasty cafe foods done right.
Overall Grade: A
I especially loved the interior design of Source Cafe. The extra details gave it a point of difference such as the illustrations on the placemats. The granola was nice but a little over priced. That aside, we had enjoyed our time here and the staff were welcoming.
One of the very few decent cafes out east. They make their own hollandaise sauce, annoys me how almost every cafe around here uses the gross packet stuff. Fresh and local ingredients. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots of parking. We had salmon and bacon eggs benny, both awesome. Enjoy!
We’ve been at Source Cafe for dinner a number of times in recent months, the dinner menu is somewhat limited but the quality of the food and service is very good. The wine is also reasonably priced. We’ve particularly enjoyed the gourmet beef/bacon/cheese burger.
Have been here twice and it’s been good both times! The staff are super friendly and helpful and a nice selection of food. The food is good (my daughter LOVED her French toast), my soup was average and my fresh juice was nice but would have been nicer if it had some ice in it. So whilst the food wasn’t amazing it wasn’t bad either and would definitely go back - the place has a really nice feel to it!
I'm gonna be a Regular here, I can just see it 😀
Loved the decor inside and out. The vibe was chill and relaxing. The staff were friendly and the cabinet and menu selection is really good.
It's small and almost secluded so it makes you feel like your out of Auckland and away from all the noise.
That panut butter sauce on that French Toast though.... Gimme the recipes 😅
Ooh, and my fave part is they have Metal Reusable Straws!!!!!!!!
Love this place and I am going back!!
Nice atmosphere lovely food. I had eggs benedict with salmon. Tip for first timers to this dish ask to go lite on hollandaise sauce as there is a lot of it. Coffeetae as 3 out of 5 though nicely made
It's great to see a cafe opening up in this area, and finally got a chance to try. Nice environment with use of lots of natural wood.
Tried the Elvis waffle. Quite nice tasting and pretty too. Feel it was slightly too small though.
Great local cafe, come here often for good food and good coffee. Fast and friendly service. One of the best cafes out east
Great little spot with delicious food and drinks. It prides itself on sourcing products locally.
Nice atmosphere, not too busy. Staff was really friendly. Got the veggie burger and a dessert from the cabinet. Both delicious. Portion was huge and price very reasonable. Would recommend it to anyone in the area - has glutenfree, vegetarian/vegan options!
Nice to have a new café in the area that serves good coffee first thing in the morning but it could be better signposted. We drove by a few times before we found it. It looked like it might have a river view but sadly not. The outdoor seating could potentially be nice but as it was early morning it was too cold to sit there. I personally wasn’t too keen on the cushions and pillows inside as it’s hard to keep them spotless. Having said that, the service and coffee was outstanding. We didn’t try the food as the kitchen hadn’t opened yet (they opened half an hour later) but would certainly come back for the coffee.
Food was lovely and the coffee was flavoursome. I loved their peanut butter slice so much I went back the next day for it again! Menu is a little limited but definitely a cafe I will return to again.
Went there for the first time about 2 weeks ago and had a very pleasant visit. Food was extremely tasty, atmosphere was fantastic and everything that came out was presented so nicely. The only disappointing thing for me was that they completely forgot about my drink and I had to ask about it. Staff were friendly though and got my drink out right away. Will be back for more!
