Here we are almost 5 years down the track, at our favorite cafe
I highly recommend this place, you really have to try it for yourself
Get out here , grab ya self a cold jug of Monteith's i.p.a and a side of fries,
Come sit outside under an umbrella,chat to the staff who will spin a couple yarns with you,
I couldn't recommend this place more!
You'll be doing yourself a favor
I've been before a few times but this time met a friend there with my 1 and 3 year old. Food is incredible, staff were really accommodating with the fact I had little ones with me, highchair provided quickly so I could get my youngest out of my arms and coffee offered straight away (yassss). Coffee is divine. Food fab. Cakes weren't there when we arrived (9.30am) but I still got one takeaway as they looked too good not to. We left a wee mess under the table (kids!) but it was no problem and cleaned up straight away. Really recommend this place.
This is quickly becoming a favourite of mine for a little guilty pleasure. Working our way through their menu. So far love it!
Everything sounded delicious on their menu but I chose this since I probably can’t get this at any other Café and good job to me cause it was really really reallyyyy good.
Great food, ambience and service so if you need a retreat from the city it’s definitely worth the drive 💛
Been here a few times before as the food is always very tasty and well presented, although service wasnt the greatest this last time. Took a while for someone to ask for our order and when I enquired about a piece that used to be on the menu the lady was very blunt about it
One of my top cafes. Go to so often. The food is always amazing and my favourite place to have smashed avocado. The service is great even on days they’re super busy.

Great food! I tried creamy mushroom and it was outstanding. Chorizos in the dishes makes the creamy Mushroom special. Long black is also good!
Amazing experience at the Black Cottage cafe, it’s been one of the best brunch I had in a while! The food is very fresh and beautifully cooked! Highly recommended for foodies 😍

Food:
Presentation was on point for everything.
We started off with a mango smoothie and a berry smoothie. There was definitely a difference in quality; the berry smoothie was good, but it didn’t have a very strong, authentic, fresh fruit flavour. It was almost a bit too milky. On the other hand, the mango smoothie was very fragrant, and tasted fresh. Not too overpowering, which was lovely, as mango often can be.
The Black Cottage Cafe Breakfast is an absolute winner. The serving size is generous, the mushrooms are to die for (indescribable), the gooey, decadent poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and the sausages and bacon added a nice touch of typical Sunday breakfast. The hash brown they make is unconventional, being very filling and filled with different things, but we both enjoyed it. Toast was fairly normal. Our only complaint would be the grilled tomato was a bit acidic.
Service:
This was a spontaneous Anzac Day brunch idea. We called about 15 minutes before arriving to make a booking, and we’re seated right away upon arrival while those with no booking had to wait. Despite the cafe swelling with patrons, our orders were taken within 5 minutes of being seated, our drinks out in another 5, and the food just 5 minutes later. The waitresses were attentive, and the barista who took care of handling our bill was friendly.
Ambience:
Bustling, with the aromatic smell of breakfast flowing from the kitchen, and such a gorgeous outdoor seating area. The kind of place you can go for a romantic brunch or bring the kids too, since there’s a very thoughtful play area off to one side. We will definitely want a seat outside next time!
Recommendation
If you want a hearty, cooked breakfast, to be surrounded by beautiful country scenery, and to enjoy a windy Sunday drive, this is the place to be.
Very busy place with very helpful, accommodating staff and good coffee,the service was quick and efficient. We had the ultimate cheeseburger and liked it a lot (wasn’t a big fan of ciabatta on a burger but flavour-wise it was really good and potato fries it came with were crispy and tasty).
I noticed that all the people in that cafe looked like they made an effort and I was the only scruffy one...next time I’ll dress up 😬
Been here several times and love the atmosphere and layout of the cafe. Favourite on the menu is the Shakshuka. Good option for large group bookings. Also great coffee!
I went there for a breakfast on Sunday, and loved the fact that it was open at 7.30am!
Utterly beautiful interior, and very relaxing atmosphere. However, I found the food to be a bit pricy compared to other similar type of cafe, and the portion size was really massive. I had the French toast but I couldn’t finish the meal.
I would also ask for maple syrup on the side next time coz it was almost swimming in them.
Met up with a good friend for lunch, great ambience, prompt and very friendly service.
The menu is great and the place was buzzing. Enjoyed the fresh snapper with salads, really delicious! Great little place!

recently visited Black Cottage cafe for lunch in Coastville Village, Auckland, and let me tell you, appearances can be deceiving. From the outside, it resembles a contemporary cottage by the highway, but once you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and cozy ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. 🏡❤️
Upon entering, I sought the hostess's recommendation, and she enthusiastically suggested their signature dish, DUCK A L'ORANGE. This delectable creation features a perfectly prepared Confit Duck Leg accompanied by Dauphinoise Potato, Sauteed Green Beans, Candied Orange, and a tantalizing Citrus Jus. 🍗🍊🍽️ To complement my meal, I decided to indulge in a refreshing Hazy IPA, which the hostess highly recommended. 🍺👌
Meanwhile, my wife opted for the Salmon Benedict, a dish that boasted a medley of flavors. It consisted of house-smoked salmon, mustard-parmesan potato rosti, creamed spinach, beetroot puree, and originally, poached eggs. However, she made a delightful twist and changed them to scrambled eggs. 🍣🍳🥔
As for my order, the Duck A L'Orange was a true culinary delight. The combination of the succulent duck and the creamy Dauphinoise potato was simply mouthwatering. The rich and tangy citrus jus elevated the dish to a whole new level, adding a delightful touch to each bite. 😋👌
On the other hand, my wife's order was a burst of flavors. The scrambled eggs, perfectly cooked to a creamy and soft consistency, blended harmoniously with the tantalizing smoked salmon. And let me tell you, the potato rosti served as a remarkable companion to this flavorful ensemble. 🍳🍣🥔
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Black Cottage cafe to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience. While it may be slightly on the pricier side, the quality and taste of the food unquestionably justify it. The impeccable customer service further enhances the overall experience, and due to its popularity, it's advisable to make reservations in advance to secure your spot. 👍📞
Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you – step inside Black Cottage cafe, and you'll discover a hidden gem waiting to satisfy your taste buds with its delightful dishes and cozy atmosphere. Bon appétit! 🍽️😊
Wow!!!! I have just discovered this place, I wish I had known about it sooner..... The pasta was too die for, the fish was too die for, the cakes looked good but was too full. Plus they sell alcohol, so nice place for lunch. Friendly staff. You have to try this place, we'll worth the drive. I'll be back!.
My son took me here for lunch yesterday, staff were all lovely and food was delicious. Definitely be back
Wonderful staff, delicious fresh food. Can't beat the French toast, iced chocolate, or the carrot cake (don't leave without a takeaway of these scrumptiously moist temptations!) Clean and tidy, big covered outdoor area, and even a little outdoor playground for kids.
Definitely recommend Black Cottage.
Duck was divine.
Music in the background on quietly so you could talk.
Great friendly service WITH a smile.

Black Cottage Cafe is a right hidden gem in the heart of Coatesville.
Having been introduced to Black Cottage Cafe by my locally living best friends in 2020, I have been here many times since and not once have I ever been let down by the incredible team here.
The ladies who are in their front of house positions are always kind, friendly and understanding if any of my friends in the group that I usually come to this cafe with have any dietary requirements and immediately offer us alternative suggestions. My two best friends and I even hiked five kilometres from their house last year in the boiling January summer heat to just have a taste of the stunning food here at this cafe as none of us had a full drivers license at the time...but now I do!!
That time that we were there, we had the brunch selection. I went for the Black Cottage Breakfast and my best friends had the chicken and avocado salad and the french toast. All three of us devoured our meals, they were stunning and we did not regret that hike whatsoever!
The last time that I came to Black Cottage was for a very early last minute breakfast at 7:30am. My other best friend had told us that she was coming up for a visit as she is currently away studying in the South Island. Despite being the early hours of the morning, we all had a lovely catch up over breakfast and the food did not disappoint. I was able to reserve a table with ease thanks to the help of Eva. I had the gluten free option of the french toast and it was delicious! This same group is returning in a weeks time for another catch up breakfast and we are all so, so excited to be back at this stunning cafe.
Thank you so much Black Cottage! I would give you way more than five stars for your incredible food, service and environment and just for helping me get my friend group together who don’t get to see each other very much as we are all uni students or working now. :)))
Oh wow, let me share my experience at the Black Cottage Cafe. The hot chocolate there is absolutely delightful, with its rich and creamy flavor. The cottage itself is a picturesque beauty, reminiscent of a charming fairytale setting. Additionally, they have a well-designed playground that offers a fun-filled experience. It's the perfect spot to unwind, indulge in delicious treats, and enjoy a great time. I highly recommend visiting this lovely cafe!
What a lovely place <3 I love their fireplace in the middle of the cafe, it adds such a nice vibe to the dining experience. The sausage roll is great, and the plates served around me were all looking and smelling delicious. The Belgian hot chocolate was served with a chocolate marshmallow, which is a nice extra from the usual thing. Beautiful garden, beautiful decoration and furnitures
