I have visited the Britomart Shaky Isles several times. I do visit midweek and love the eclectic mix of furniture and the view of the street.
The coffee is good (every time I have been)
The food selection varied enough that I am able to make a different selection each time.
I like that they have Vegetarian options.
This is a very quiet and laid back cafe, often people are reading or catching up on their emails, so service is usually unobtrusive.
As a person with hearing difficulties I really appreciate the lack of background noise, reflective surfaces etc.
Tried their whole range of smoothies which was 🍊 Orange Reviver 🌱Green Detox ☕Coffee Boost and 🍓Berry Bright. They were all very tasty but our favourites was the Orange Reviver since we love mango & lime and Berry Bright!
For food, we ordered:
🍇🍌Antioxidant Acai Bowl
🥚🍳Huevos Sucios (Dirty Eggs)
🍅🌭Chorizo, Isles Have it All (similar to a big breakfast)
🧀🥑Halloumi and Avocado Waffle Rosti with some smoked Salmon.
All of them were presented beautifully and it was very delicious 🏵️ We could definitely see hints of the owners Mexican culture in the dishes which is a ➕
Good cafe in the city. Lots of seating. We were served quickly but our food took a while. Coffee and drinks came out first. We all ordered juice which was warm and would have been nice if it was chilled. Coffee was nice with the chocolate to stir through. All the Food for great except that the Eggs bene had a savoury waffle as the base which was hard (like stale) and lacked flavour. The Bacon & egg Buddy was uninviting and was literally just bacon and eggs in a bun. All the other things were delicious and tasty.
Came here for brunch with my friend and I had the 'Acai bowl' and she got the 'Bacon Buttie' which she found dry, bland and a bit tasteless but I thought my acai bowl was quite nice and the coconut yogurt was a nice contrast to the sweetness of the acai .Bit of an average cafe, probably wouldn't return too.
Came here for lunch and got the avocado haloumi rosti but replaced the avocado with egg as I don’t like avocado, at no extra cost. Really quick service but was probably because it was a late lunch around 2:30pm. Tasted pretty good too and it was a fairly nice place. By the cutlery holders need to be topped up more frequently. Heaps of them had no cutlery so I had to steal one from the next door table etc.
Had a lovely lunch here. We got the banana bacon pancakes and halloumi rosti. Both were very good. The pancakes were very fluffy and there was plenty of syrup.
The salad had lots of fresh ingredients and lathered in a generous amount of sauce.
Well priced and good sized meals. Got all your favourites for cheaper then your average cafe. Amazing hot chocolates and açai bowls! Service is efficient and effective without your food being trashy. A classic cafe with all the goods.
Business' name is the complete opposite of the business model. Poetic really. You can order a basic eggs on toast and it'll still make you cry. Tell your wallet to quit whining because damn, that wholegrain toast is probably what heaven is paved out of
Really friendly staff members, love going here on weekends for a coffee and some baked goods. Coffee is always delicious and fast to come to my table and cabinet foods are always fresh and taste amazing!!
One of the best eggs bene I have had to date! The bun they used was so soft and fresh. Place was decorated well, food came out quick and the hot choc was perfect with a chocolate bar in it. Awesome experience 😁
Great location and great vibe. Interiors are so cool, rustic and raw. Few selections of slices/sandwiches and to order meal. Ordered their limited edition Shaky Isles caramel slice and didn't regret it. Yum and moisty. Staff were busy maintaining the cleanliness of the store and were friendly. Prompt service is A+. Would like to try their sandwich next time....
A nearly-fine café that falls short on details. Spacious and rustic decor, with versatile seating. City prices, but the menu extensive. I took the corn fritters with a large flat white. The fritters were light and fluffy but I sensed they we're freshly cooked - but the again service was quick so that probably explains it. The streaky bacon was flavourful. Coffee outstanding - smooth and full of taste. Tables cleared but not wiped down; I had to find my own knife.
We stumbled upon this place after first arriving in Auckland. Service was nice and we could easily find a table on a Sunday morning.
We enjoyed it so much that we ended up coming from brunch before leaving town.
These were some of the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Milkshake was expensive but yummy. Cafe was also beautifully decorated and nice and tidy. Love all the plants and decor! Will be back when I next visit Auckland.
We did not know that there was a whole chain of shaky Isles across New Zealand when we first walked into this one at Customs Street.
Absolutely loved the ambience and decoration:- especially the advice to straddle large mammals.
Definitely require improvement on service however as most tables were not cleared and food took awhile to ready. Lovely coffee and we enjoyed our brunch tremendously.
A really nice vibe with nice staff. The coffee is great and the food is really good. They change the menu up often and I have been here a few times and never gone away disappointed thus far. Great place for a coffee or a meal.
Shaky Isles is a great and cozy place for having lunch, breakfast, ...or just a tasty latte/flat white! 😋 Lovely served with beautiful cup teaspoons 👌And nice view on the buildings around 🌆🌌
Yummy food and yummy coffee! We got the blueberry muffin and açaí bowls, both were great! The muffin wasn’t too sweet. The location is right around the corner from the ferry building, so it’s a great place to start your day!
Good coffee, and some interesting breakfast choices. I had the crumbed eggs which were yummy. Good cabinet food too, with brownies and slices etc. bit pricey, but probably standard for this part of town. Efficient service, couldn't fault it.
My boyfriend and I went there for breakfast. I wasn't really sure what to get on the menu but I took a chance with a meal that sounded more interesting and weird than anything else. Thought I would hate it but it was probably the most delicious breakfast I had! It was full of flavor and color and plated so nicely. We both loved our drinks and meals.
Spacious cafe in the heart of Britomart that serves up way more all-day brunch food than I had expected. A group of us had met here this morning for a work coffee catch-up, and easily found a space to accommodate us to have a drink and breakfast. Only main issue I had was that in my time constrained 30 minutes, it took about 15 minutes to get my tea... my tea even came out _after_ the sandwich that I had ordered which meant I had to try to get it all down in the last 10 minutes before I had to up and go. Outside of that the experience has been pleasant.
