Review Ormiston Cafe - Auckland

Second time visiting, both times the service was great and attentive, water was offered and food came swiftly, beverages arrived hot ( as I like it), my husband ordered the chicken and waffles as well as a club sandwich, the chicken was tender and cooked perfectly, I enjoyed the smash avo open sandwich with salmon. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Best icecream ive ever tasted. Customer Service is amazing. Food is amazing. And the place looks awesome!

Absolutely loved this, went there for a birthday brunch and the minute they found out it was her birthday they brought out this. Not only is their food a 10/10 their portion sizes are immaculate AND customer service is awesome! However that freak shake is a challenge if you don’t have the sweet tooth for it, still delicious nonetheless. Zero complaints here !!!

Great local Cafe for lazy weekend brunch! Staffs are super friendly and food is amazing🥰

$11.50 for two coffees but they were HUGE, great service and atmosphere! Very busy in the weekend, we might have been lucky to have found a table?

We got here 20 minutes before closing time, and the staff advised us on entry that the kitchen will be closing, should we want to order food to do so before 2:30. We placed our orders and recieved a great presented platter and the atmosphere was good, though they were eager to finish they continued to serve great food with a plesent attitude. When ever we come here the staff are great.

Always a pleasant experience dining here - never a disappointment!

Had brunch here with my Dad, the staff were so lovely and the food was wonderful; I enjoyed a lovely homemade veggie burger. Very calm atmosphere, would definitely recommend!!

I highly recommend this Cafe. Customer service was remarkable. Very polite and helpful. I unfortunately did not get the name of the person at front counter but is etiquettes was commendable. I had my elderly parents with me and he made sure they were comfortable. I will highly recommend the warm dumpling soup. It was full of flavour and the portion was generous. We did not have to wait long for our meals. Please do visit if you are in the area.

Friendly staff, clean and tidy place. I had pancake gurnished beautifully and tatse delicious. But the icecream on top was straberry which did not taste good ( it is not my fav as i believe it taste like medicine),probably vanila icecream could be a better choice. Hope they could keep the place always clean and tidy.

I was on way to go Miranda hot spring, and stop by here to have brunch. Looks quite new interior and kind staffs, especially I was satisfied that they asked me the feedback. That made me feel they care about customer’s opinion even after paid. All the food(scone, brunch) was nice as well, but coffee was just a average. I want to go there again when I have a chance to pass by. :)

I came across this place on grabone as there are $40 vouchers for only $25, what a bargain! Such a lovely café which is bright, fresh and spacious. The staff were absolutely brilliant and provided fantastic customer service. They were very friendly and attentive, making sure that we were happy and had everything we needed. The food was delicious and flavourful and very generous servings. The coffee was hot and creamy and made perfectly, even asking if I wanted the coffee extra strong or regular (which I've never been asked!) I do love a strong coffee, so made the most of that opportunity. Definitely recommend this fantastic Cafe to anyone who loves great food and appreciates bubbly and polite staff!

Pretty cool cafe, hidden behind PaknSave. Food were delicious and flavorful. Freakshake was delightful. The aioli sauce was incredible! Very garlic-y. I loved it! I wanna go back again to try their beetroot latte cos that beetroot in the beef burger was nice.

Loved the service. Very friendly staff. Ambience was great inside, even though I thought from the outside it looked gloomy. I was mistaken. Chicken waffle- 3⭐ Pork chop- 5⭐

Highly recommend food was cooked well definitely will be going back yum!!

We have stopped here a few times when cycling in the area. Have only had coffee and scones but they have always been really good. Staff are friendly and they are very accommodating if you are with a bunch of cyclists. There is outdoor seating if the weather is good.

I don't leave reviews often but this local gem definitely deserves a 5 star review. We've been coming here for awhile and every single time the service from the staff have been amazing. We've been served by different members of their team and every one of them have always been super accommodating and attentive. It's just a delight to dine here. The food is delicious with generous portions and we've never had to wait long for our meals. The food and the amazing service is definitely what keeps bringing us back!

Tried to order from the website, received a online payment error but my card got charged. Called and spoke to someone who said I need to go and show proof as they haven't received my order or payment. So I go there show them that my card has been charged. I was asked to wait for my order and was informed I would be given a coffee voucher for the delivery fee that I paid for but nothing was given to me. Just really disappointed overall with the experience I've had

Used the GrabOne voucher and the overall experience is brilliant. Good customer service. Food and coffee is pretty good

I don’t usually do reviews but this place was so great I just had to! Friendly and prompt service, fantastic coffee, amazing food! It’s become my favourite place to go in Auckland. The meals were so large both of us had to take some home for later!

Big breakfast was filling. <br/>Excellent customer service.<br/>Tropical smoothie was good.<br/>Very clean

First time coming here and wasnt disappointed. A welcoming friendly staff. Clean and nice ambiance!<br/>Food service was quick and good sized portions. My daughter like the freakshake and i like the coffee.

Lovely ambiance, nice food and lovely service. Coffee is great too

Never go back again!!!<br/>Lychee juice tasted cheap wondering are they just brought from pack save next door. The cup for the milkshake is warm n full of bubble inside. The food tasted below average only willing to put in mouth when extremely starving. <br/>No service at wall even not in peak hour. <br/>Staff not friendly. <br/>Hope that when the new Ormiston mall open there will be choice of cafe in this area.

very calm environment beautifully made quality food gorgeous presentation of food coming from the kitchen also cabinet food presented well. Our breakfast was superb salmon eggs bene creamy hollandise sauce so lovely with a touch of balsamic and soft mufflin split bread eggs a.lil over cooked but nevertherless still so tasty.

My partner and I looked for a cafe in South Auckland that had a high rating and good reviews on #Zomato and this cafe popped up, so we decided to try it out. There was a 10 minute wait before we were seated so I guess that was a good sign that the cafe is popular. Once seated we were given a menu by one of their waiters who had attentive and great customer service. The menu had a variety of foods to choose from so we decided to choose a few dishes. <br/>Breaky Board-My partner said his meal was, in his words, “meh...ok I guess”. Only thing he was disappointed with was the toast was dry, hard and over crisped. According to the menu, it was supposed to be ‘sour dough’ but was just plain packaged white bread. <br/>Eggs bene- He said was also average. Nothing exciting or extravagant but it tasted good.<br/>Corn fritter-I ordered a really delicious corn fritter from Little District a week prior and was hoping this would match it but I was sadly disappointed. These fritters were soggy. The portion presented was good value for money though and I enjoyed the salmon (which was an added side I paid for) and poached egg.<br/>Arancini balls- One of my FAVOURITE canapés/entrees so I know good arancini balls when I taste one. I was soooo disappointed with these. They were very dry that the coating on the outside had cracks and when you bit into the balls they had a crumbly texture. You could tell it had been microwaved too because the tomato based sauce at the bottom had stained and stuck to the sides of the bowl. That only happens when a dish has been microwaved. <br/>After our experience, I couldn’t understand why this cafe had such a high rating. Maybe it was just a busy time for the kitchen hence the average and lack lustre food. Perhaps your experience might differ to mine.

Friendly staff, and fast food! Love coming to this place! The pancakes are heaven on earth, and the coffee always starts my day off right.

Always a delight eating cafe food here. Best eggs bene by far from a lot of other places. Great service and execution of food always on point. This has become a regular.

Nice environment and friendly staff

Various photos from multiple visits: If it’s on the menu... it’s good! This is our local so you can imagine how many times we have been and not once have they failed us! Portions are big, prices are fair, food always comes out hot and service is 5 star! Only once have I ever had to wait longer than usual, even then, it’s worth the wait!

Love this place, my local literally didn’t the road. Portion sizes are SO good & food is so tasty! 😍 would recommend for everyone to try this place!

Very creamy mushrooms!

I found them from zomato gold list so I visited.<br/>Their chicken buger was so yummy !!!!!!<br/>But the creamy mushroom was just okay.<br/>I found out similarity with coffee club from cabinet foods. Ambience and service were nice :) I will come back next time

Lovely staff and Great Food ! Definitely worth the price 💛

Thoroughly enjoyable! The portions are very good size too, not too small and not too much. Lots of smoked salmon, and pancakes had so much fruit!<br/><br/>Will be back again when I’m in the area. <br/><br/>Serviced 4/5<br/>Environment: 5/5<br/>Presentation: 4/5<br/>Food Quality: 4/5<br/>Food Quantity: 5/5<br/>Price per person: $20

Saw great reviews so decided to try this place out. Ordered chicken waffles and salmon with veges. The milkshake we got had chocolate grime stuck on the inside jar. Could only see this when we finished the drink so they put us off. The waffles were meh but chicken was quite nice, could do without the weird sweet sauce. The salmon tasted like it was kept in the freezer for too long. Meant to have crispy skin but why would you put the skin on the bottom, it was soggy by the time we ate it. The veges weren't seasoned, no garlic taste or anything. We had to put salt and pepper on. Sadly we wont be coming back again. Although their shelf food looked way more appetizing!

Friendly service, coupled with great food. Smashed avocado with feta on toast was delicious. Eggs benedict was yum. Coffee was nice.

Decent cafe with good food and service, we ordered eggs benedict with salmon and avocado, ormiston club sandwich, Thai beef salad and some drinks. The beef in the Thai beef salad was a bit too salty though.

Food was good! We ordered the pancakes, chicken burger, Nutella hot chocolate and soda. The Nutella hot chocolate is definitely interesting and you’ll like it if you like the nutty taste. Service was quite lovely even though it was busy and there was some confusion about our seating. <br/>Only downside was that we weren’t allowed to use our Zomato gold voucher here because it was father’s day.<br/><br/>Would definitely come back to try other food on the menu.

Great cafe with good food.Loved the ambience and the look and feel of this cafe! Great place for great conversations with good food. The coffee was the best! The food was good too , we had the corn frittata , veg burger and fried chicken waffle ! The portions are large for one person . Must try cafe in and around Flatbush .

Friendly enough service. Decent ambience for a casual sunday mornjng bfast. Warm plate. Good family crowd. Confortable and clean furniture. Accessible and easy to get to. Will bring extended family here. <br/><br/>No sauce or condiments offered with pie. Lets not keep looking at the customer as he/she makes their mind up. Chai latte cud use little less sugar.

I'm happy to give a 4.5 for this. Very good cafe with great customer service. Eggs bene with salmon was delicious and so was the thai beef salad. Only downside was our bowl of wedges was a bit expensive for $15 and serving size a tad smaller than other cafes around. Overall a decent cafe so will come back again.

Great coffees and hot chocolates. The 'latte art' is a nice touch. Staff were efficient and friendly. Nice comfortable sofa seats and modern decor.

Friendly Staff，good food，good service, tasty coffee, good atmosphere, will bring my friends to come. We all like here and it is a good place to gathering.

I was on way to go Miranda hot spring, and stop by here to have brunch. Looks quite new interior and kind staffs, especially I was satisfied that they asked me the feedback. That made me feel they care about customer’s opinion even after paid. All the food(scone, brunch) was nice as well, but coffee was just a average. I want to go there again when I have a chance to pass by. :)

Went here for drinks and snack on Sunday afternoon. The place was aesthetically pleasing. Had the soy matcha which was okay. But the mocha was really good 👌 shared the fish and chips with my family. There was nothing amazing about it. Just average.

We were there for brunch on a Sunday and ordered eggs bene and big breakfast. The food is not worth the money unfortunately and the drinks tasted alright nothing too special.

One of the cafes that has the best atmosphere. beautiful Decoration, quiet and calm vibe. The food is excellent. I tried egg Benedict and chicken waffle, my bf have vege burger. We both absolutely thrilled with the taste, the sauce and we are both picky eater so it speaks volumes. Will come here many many times more ❤️

Nice staff and good food. Like the decoration in cafe. Beetroot latte was ok but the staff was happy to give me coffee instead. We had big breakfast and Chicken waffle were really nice.

Tries too hard to be a cafe like Melba in Manukau. Food and drinks are way over priced for what you get. Customer service was good and that alone gets the two stars.

This is the place that offers the best carrot cake! Proper carrot cake icing and loads of goodies on top! I love the walnut bits that go with the cake. Staff are friendly and helpful. It was the second time I patron. Nice presentation of food. It worths the more than 15 minutes drive to pay a visit to fill my hungry tummy.

Great place, food was delicious, staff were really friendly. Ordered eggs bene, pancakes with no ice cream or chocolate and corn fritters. We enjoyed our breakfast. Would definitely return, thanks !

Catch up with friends here for drinks only , all drinks looks and tasted okay, nothing too special ... was very busy around 1:30 on a Sunday . <br/>Looks like a local favorite as it’s right next to paknsav, best stopover after grocery shopping

Little cafe hiding behind PaknSave. Staffs are always friendly and polite.<br/>We have came here a few times and tried different items on their menu. Food came reasonably fast and tasted good too. Definitely good value when they offered 1+1 on food with Zomato Gold. Such a shame that they have changed to offer 2+2 on drinks now. I might consider coming back if they offer 1+1 on food again.

Nice little cafe hidden on a quiet side street in Ormiston. Very lowkey, customer service was great and food was pretty good compared to a lot of other cafes out there.

Came here for a Saturday lunch with my family. Straight away greeted by the door and was seated, followed by menus and offering of water. Have to say J and I were super impressed with the service as this makes such a difference to your meal experience. The staff were so lovely and friendly, the boss even came over to say Happy Birthday to J because he heard it was his birthday. With surprise, a staff member came out with a piece of cake for J. <br/><br/>Our family ordered a range of drinks including flat whites, chai lattes and a strawberry milkshake. All were delicious. <br/><br/>Food was great as well, ordering a Thai Beef Salad, lamb burger and a Open steak sandwich! Absolutely love the Thai beef salad here! So tasty and steak is cooked well. J ordered the Lamb burger because he was curious on the Homemade lamb patty. Great taste however needed a bit more sauce to it. <br/><br/>Overall we had a very enjoyable meal and would definitely come back due to the amazing service and atmosphere! Thank you so much Ormiston Cafe for a lovely experience, while making J feel special on his birthday! <br/><br/>

If you like some delicious fancy drinks, this is where you gonna try. Environment is bright and clean, makes people feel comfortable and relaxed. Didn't tried food here, but drinks taste nice. Service friendly and polite, also really fast.

Been here 4 times but today will be my last time here. Food has always been average, but its close to where I live so I go for convenience and for the 1+1 as zomato gold member. But recently they changed it from 1+1 food to 2+2 drinks which me and my friend were not aware of until we arrived. Since we were already there, we decided to order 2 meals and 2 drinks. After we ordered the 2 meals and then proceeded with ordering drinks started by showing our zomato gold, but the guy working there was going on the defend aggressively saying the free was for drinks not food, which we already knew. Then he went on saying we needed to order 4 drinks as it is 2+2, but zomato gold clearly stated up to 2 drinks so it works as 1+1 drinks too. He got the manager to deal with us and we ended up getting one of our drinks free. I ordered matcha but it came as lime green colour with no taste at all, like water on ice but with a green colour. Very disappointed overall.

closer to 2.5<br/>i was disappointed with the chicken waffle that i ordered. the waffle i have tasted better in other cafe and the texture is not quite right, the salad also starting to wilt<br/>portion size was decent, presentation not as good as other cafe<br/>went with my brother and his matcha frappe was bright green in colour... not very appealing at all

nice to have a tea and some cakes at this cafe on saturday . Nice people around, and foods are great not to mention the coffee.. Will come again.

Went for the first time with my partner. Ordered the chicken burger, pancakes and 2 smoothies. Great service and portion of food for the price!

Nice ambience. Really friendly staffs and great customer service. Ordered chicken waffle and grilled salmon, with watermelon frappe and minty midnight freakshake. Portion size very reasonable. Absolutely loved the freakshake!<br/><br/>At first the chicken was overcooked and hard to cut or chew. It is understandable as they were quite busy at that moment. The owner or shop manager saw me having trouble with the overcooked fried chicken and quickly came checking and offered another 2 pieces of chicken. The replacement came pretty fast and was perfectly fried. Loved the chicken and sauce, waffle a bit plain. Salmon was great!

This cafe is one of my favourites! Food is absolutely amazing, and all of the staff are so kind and hard working! I would recommend this cafe :)

Taste: <br/>Everything was so lovely! The açai bowl was excellent and my friends enjoyed their burgers & waffles too!!<br/><br/>Value: <br/>Great price range & portion size! Zomato Gold comes super handy as the 1+1 applies to the entire menu <br/><br/>Ambience: <br/>Modern & aesthetic. Located behind Pak’nsave but there a lot of signs that’ll direct you to the cafe. The parking lot can be quite full due to the supermarket shoppers. <br/><br/>Customer service: <br/>Staff were so sweet, especially the lady with the curly hair :) <br/><br/>Other comments: <br/>Menu is friendly to customers with dietary requirements & the cabinet food looked amazing! Definitely coming back!!

Great local cafe a real gem for the Ormiston area the staff are extremely friendly and helpful nice bright modern interior. We both decided on a breakfast option even though it was later in the morning the Ormiston Brekky Board and Eggs Bene/Bacon both servings were generous in size and nicely presented food was hot and delicious. Coffee was excellent perfectly extracted and just at the temperature I like. Well done Team Ormiston Cafe top marks see you all next time.

Very yum food! Not too pricey and great service. The coffee was really nice too. I had the eggs and avo on toast which was cooked perfectly and came out in a timely manner <br/>

Tried the ormiston house breakfast, open-face steak sandwich and nutella hot chocolate. The drink was large and tastes just like what i expected it to be! House breakfast and sandwich was filling and flavours were good.

Very good customer service, super kind and friendly. Would recommend. Aesthetically pleasing cafe with great food choices and beverages. Soooo cool

#zomatogold# experience was great! <br/><br/>We ordered two house breakfast, the portion was very big. Three sausages and two hashbrowns would make you feel super full all day. <br/><br/>Service - 5/5<br/>Ambience - 5/5<br/>Food - 3.5/5<br/>Overall - 4/5 <br/><br/>I didn't give 5-star because of the quality of the food. The food was very nice, but more like a homemade big breakfast. The hashbrown and sausages seem like from the supermarket. In a nice cafe, you kinda expect something nicer than this. But as I said, the portion was huge, very filling big breakfast. It's still a nice cafe to visit. <br/><br/>We would be back to try some other items from the menu. Overall recommended.

Fresh, modern and bright cafe. Really loved the ambience. Service was good. Taken off some stars as the calamari was quite soggy. Flavour was good but wished it was more crispy. Omelette was okay. Just seems a bit pricey for what you’re receiving.<br/>Matcha latte could improve as there were clumps in the drink that would stick to your mouth and milk texturing could also be better.<br/>However, would still be keen to give it another go and try other items on the menu 🙂

Very neat and comfortable seating area. Friendly staff. Quite a big menu selection. Presentation was nice though the burger was a bit burnt. The chips were nice but too salty. Will definitely visit again.<br/><br/>They are a participating Zomato Gold restaurant so we got a free dish. With a neat cafe like Ormiston, it makes it worthwhile to join Zomato Gold.<br/>For those interested, here’s the promo code LITTLETD to get you 20% off your membership.

Lots of great things to say about this cafe:<br/>- lovely atmosphere, it’s nice and bright inside and chairs are comfy.<br/>- they have delicious looking cabinet food! I have not tried it yet but would definitely have some next time.<br/>- they have a lovely selection of your favorite cafe foods available and at a very reasonable price.<br/>- staff is friendly and helpful, they can take your order at your table or at the counter.<br/><br/>We ordered the avo smash with a side of hash brows, the club sandwich and a matcha latte.<br/>Avo smash portion is medium sized - if you have a big appetite or usually eat big portions, definitely add on some sides.<br/>Club sandwich comes with a side of fries. The chicken is tender which I was super happy about and the ingredients look fresh. It’s not too greasy or dry. <br/>Matcha latte was so so. Froth was nice and creamy. Some of the sugar was not stirred in properly so you could still see granules and the matcha was not stirred in properly so you’d get clumps of it while you drink.<br/><br/>Overall I had a great experience! 5/5 would come back!

Good food and good ambience,<br/><br/>We got the open steak sandwich and the fruit bowl. We probably wouldn’t order the fruit bowl again but the cooked food around us all looked lovely.<br/><br/>We wouldn’t come here without Zomato Gold though.

Had an awesome time at ormiston cafe for my mums birthday breakfast. The service was amazing, atmosphere was bright and cozy and the food was delicious. Thank u so much sanjhay and staff for a great morning for my mum. We will definitely be back!

Went here for brunch on a sunday. It was quite busy on a sunday, and we was just looked at, at first, but then we we were seated in 2 mins. I was impressed with the presentations of the food, and how the drinks were presented. The food was good aswell. We ordered fries, the house breaky and the 3 egg omelete with your choice of selection for toppings, and was very filling. Although service was quite slow, it was understandable since it was busy when we came. The atmosphere was nice too and staffs would occasionally come to you and check how your meals were going. Would come here again👏🏻

Food: 5/5<br/>Service: 5:5<br/>Ambience: 5/5<br/>Cost: 5/5<br/><br/>We ordered the House Breaky, ALT, Iced Mocha (no cream and ice cream) and Soy Flat White. I had the ALT, which was beautiful - simple and delicious (5/5). Ciabatta was soft and tasted very fresh. The fillings very also very tasty and had the right ratio of cos lettuce, tomato, caesar dressing and avocado. Fries on the side were well seasoned. Great coffees too (5/5). <br/><br/>The customer service there was deffs on point. The staff greeted us, asked how our food was and whether we needed anything else. Every single staff were ALL so friendly and welcoming. <br/><br/>We will deffs be back and would recommend this Cafe to everyone. They also have Zomato Gold too ;)

Very good cafe! So Yummy !!! Recommended Thai beef salad and Ormiston club sandwiches! Excellent service! Very good cafe! So Yummy !!! Recommended Thai beef salad and Ormiston club sandwiches! Excellent service!

Stopped in for breakfast - eggs Benedict was amazing! Atmosphere is lovely :) Friendly staff, coffee was excellent. Would definitely come again :)

So I’ve been thinking about this place for a while then today I decided to try to give it a go. <br/> Must say the soup of the day is pretty delicious and looks great from the beginning. <br/> Also, the coffee I tried here is Mocha , pretty good more than I expected with a cool letter and I really like the design of this. To be honest, not many coffee shop can give you a cool coffee cup like this cause it takes time for every single customers. So I really like the way the treat their customers . <br/> Staff are friendly and care about how you feel after you try the food and coffee, which is I hardly see from another regular coffee shop . <br/>Feel really relax with my coffee and the vibes of this place.

Our first time to here. Staffs are very friendly and great services. Foods are great and thumbs up. Highly recommended to all and will come back again.

Wonderful cafe tucked beside the Pak’n’Save Ormiston. <br/><br/>Went for late breakfast with partner and love their unique teapot for the Earl Grey Tea. <br/><br/>Big Breakfast is good, just wished that they will serve butter a different way as theirs is served in wax paper and because of the heat from the bread, the butter melted and got everywhere as I was trying to unwrap it. <br/><br/>Partner’s Open Face Steak Sandwich is yummy. <br/><br/>Will try their Bulletproof Coffee next time and their milkshakes look absolutely divine. Will definitely try the milkshakes on cheat days xx

Our first time there was great we had a go at the freak SHAKE...that was really awsome pancakes was amazing with the fruits and syrup eggs Benedict was yumm we think with a hint of chocolate sauce. All thses dishes were extra yum<br/>We also had fish n chips it wasn't as good as the other dishes we ordered also the chicken strips were bit extra crispy on the edges taste bit dry<br/>Service was awsome

As soon as we walk in we felt so welcoming as all the staff were so friendly even though they were quite busy at that time. Food is just beautiful and good potion as well. 100% recommended!

Great portion size for what you pay for! I had the smash avo and partner had the eggs Bene definitely filled us up and the service was amazing , seated and served right away! Can’t go wrong with All day breakfast menu

very nice place, nutritious tasty food, friendly service, good coffee. Very good place to be. It well worth the money you pay. Very good environment too. Not too crowded.

Beautiful cafe tucked on the side on Pak N Save! The staff had great service and made us feel very welcome. <br/>The Eggs Bene is a classic style with hollandaise sauce and a nice soft bacon on top of a muffin. Only complaint about this was the egg was a bit too cooked, the yolk wasn’t runny but still very soft. <br/>Omelette could have had a bit more seasoning in it, i did have to add quite a bit of salt to add some taste to it, not my favourite. <br/>The chips and salt and pepper squid was great!! chips were crispy and fresh. <br/>love it!

Had the pancakes, omelette with chorizo, cheese and roasted capsicum and a flat white. We felt super full after our delicious meals. Coffee was good 👌🏻 Pancakes were a little bit dry but other than that really good. All the toppings and fruit, etc round the bottom were amazing. Omelette was super satisfying 😁

Service was very slow and it seemed other people who came after us were getting their food much faster than us which sort of made our experience worse. Food was nice and can see Ormiston Cafe have really upped their game since I was last here. They just need to work on their service a little bit more!

Overall nice decor and decent food, catering well to food intolerances. Smashed avo was tasty but the avo wasn’t fresh which was a bit disappointing. Steak sammy was nice. Fries had yummy seasoning! Almond milk used in coffee could be better (wasn’t a barista blend). Food came very quickly!

Because of Zomato Gold, we tried this cafe. Nice ambiance upon entering the cafe. Very courteous staff members. We love their food and frappe drinks. One thing noted was that I ordered for Open Steak Sandwich but the one who served my food forgot to give me a steak knife. Another staff noticed that and without me asking, he provided a steak knife and apologised as well. Very much appreciated. I think he is the manager or owner. Overall, we would be back to Ormiston Cafe to try more from their menu. It is just beside Pak N Save Ormiston.

Really nice atmosphere, staff were friendly and accommodating, unfortunately they ran out of fresh tuna but were happy to change the menu a bit to fit our needs. Food was great, some really tasty stuff and the soba noodles was by far my favourite!

I don't leave reviews often but this local gem definitely deserves a 5 star review. We've been coming here for awhile and every single time the service from the staff have been amazing. We've been served by different members of their team and every one of them have always been super accommodating and attentive. It's just a delight to dine here. The food is delicious with generous portions and we've never had to wait long for our meals. The food and the amazing service is definitely what keeps bringing us back!

A stylish, modern and cute cafe with great coffee. My partner and I got the creamy mushroom and big breakfast which were more than filling for the both of us. We struggled to finish the food even though they were tasty. The creamy mushroom was certainly creamy and rich but paired well with the ciabatta. Mocha was also good. Will be back, especially with Zomato gold.

Came out with my colleagues for lunch today, the yummiest matcha latte I’ve ever had, the milk foam is so smooth and creamy! The egg bene I had is wonderful, the egg was cooked perfectly, the bread is a bit crispy, combine with the soft egg is just amazing! My colleague’s burger she said is yum as well. I will be back to try the rest of their menus! The staff are friendly as well! Food was served pretty quick, great experience for our workday lunch.

Nice local cafe tucked behind Pak n Save Ormiston. I had always wanted to visit but always ended up going to other ‘famous’ brunch locations. Becoming a Zomato Gold member gave me the perfect excuse to finally try the place out. Cute, clean ambience was the first impression. A lot of choices available on the drinks menu such as Beetroot latte (will try next time) but I stuck with my go-to Americano.<br/><br/>I ordered a Big Breakfast and my partner ordered the open steak sandwich. Big breakfast was what you’d usually expect. Nothing special about the flavour but the portion size was massive! My partner’s steak sandwich however was delicious! The steak was actually cooked to perfection- it wasn’t tough and they didn’t use the cheap steak. The chips that came with the open steak sandwich was also a little extra. They not only seasoned their chips with the standard salt, but it tasted almost like the peri chips with that extra flavour and seasoning. I can’t wait to try their creamy mushroom in my next visit.<br/><br/>#jazzthefoodie

Been here multiple times and will always come back for more! Absolutely love this cafe and can't wait to try the rest of their menu! They have such a wide variety and you'll definitely find something you'll like!<br/><br/>All the dishes I've had are excellent and I've tried their iced chocolate too which is divine. It's rare that for $6 you get a scoop of ice cream and whipped cream too!<br/><br/>Definitely worth going!

Food:<br/>Menu food is pretty good, portion looks standard but definitely feel full after a nicely presented plate of hot food.<br/>Definitely need to try their coffee. I was surprised with their larger size white coffee, as coffee flavour will have mellowed out/diluted extra milk. But this makes a good cuppa with the good punch of coffee taste.<br/><br/>Service:<br/>Very helpful ladies and gents. <br/><br/>Environment/vibe:<br/>Very clean, bright and tidy. Nice and cozy looking out the window in a rainy day. <br/>Seatings are quite appropriately spaced out, so I didn’t feel it’s crowded even with a lot of people enjoying the food and a cuppa.

Ordered a hot chocolate with almond milk and smashed avo and feta on sourdough with added bacon. The hot chocolate was tasty and almond milk had a great nutty flavour which I love. Meal was delicious and all produce used was very fresh. Thanks for the great experience, we will definitely be back.

Got the red velvet, berry smoothie and salmon Bennie. Tastes quite standard but the portion for eggs Bennie is a tad on the lesser side which will make you end up ordering more.

Just visited today .. excellent food , excellent service , friendly staff ... had an awesome experience .. definitely coming back .highly recommend 😊

Came in today for a vegetarian lunch with mom. We ordered a banana milkshake, baby kale salad and 3 egg omelette. The banana milkshake tasted like it was just banana mixed with vanilla ice cream. I liked it but my mom didn't. The staff saw our name on the Zomato gold screen and wrote our name in chocolate sauce on top of the plate where the banana milkshake was served on. It was super surprising and sweet of them. The baby kale salad was packed with vegetables. The sauce was really good. It was quite different to most salad sauces I've tasted at different cafes. It was kind of sour and I liked it. The three egg omelette was delicious. One of the best omelettes I've tried. It had mushroom, capsicum and spinach inside. The sourdough toast that it was served with was nice and crunchy.

Cosy cafe tucked away next to Pak-n-Safe. The food was flavoursome and the service quick and accurate. I will recommend this cafe to anyone but unfortunately there is nothing that differentiates it from the other 100 000 cafe's around auckland. I live in Flat Bush and now that I know about this cafe I will probably become a regular (because of convenience more than anything else).

Came here on a Sunday morning with my mum and it was nice! We got a peanut butter freakshake, an iced coffee and eggs on toast. The iced coffee was okay but the freakshake was good and really filling. The sourdough bread was warm and had the right amount of crunch so it felt fresh. Staff were friendly as well. Overall a nice place, will come back to try some other dishes.

Called in here today for the first time with my Mum. We both ordered coffee and scones. The service was very quick especially being around lunch time. The place was pretty busy, great decor and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Great cafe!<br/>

LOVED the white hot chocolate, would definitely go back for that, friendly staff, liked the layout of the place. We ordered the avocado on toast, squid, eggs benny & banana smoothie. Smoothie was bland, avo tasted like it was from a squeeze packet, squid was very oily. Nice hot chips partner enjoyed his eggs benny 👍🏾

My partner and I have been here twice and loved it! I had smashed avo he had big breakfast both were delicious. Great service always busy. Dog friendly which is so cool. Will definitely go again.

Located right next to Pak n save in Ormiston, the cafe looks great and beautifully decorated. The food was very good and presented neatly, great spot to go with family or friends.<br/><br/>Food- 8.5/10<br/>Service-8.5/10<br/>Aesthetics-9/10

Came across this place after people looking for recommendations for Freak Shakes...this place is fantastic HUGE breakfast, my husband said the fish was amazing and my son loved the Freakshake and massive Sausage Roll, lovely staff and well priced...will defiantly be back 😊

Popped in for lunch and was impressed with the service. Staff were very welcoming and greeted us as soon as we arrived. Within seconds were at our table with menus and water. Food came out at a reasonable time and both eggs Benedict’s were enjoyed. Highlight for me would have to be the hot chocolate was perfect 👌🏼 ☕️

We came here for lunch on a Monday... great menu and great food 😊 they were very accommodating to dietary requirements/menu changes. <br/>Staff were a little awkward but very attentive none-the-less.<br/>Great local cafe, will definitely be back!

The café is located round the corner of Pak’n’save which i thought it was a nice and convenient location.<br/><br/>The menu was extensive which offered different options that can cater anyone. We ordered the eggs benedict and fish and chips. The eggs were perfectly cooked, thumbs up for that 👍🏻. <br/><br/>Overall, great experience, and a nice spot for brunch/treats before/after your grocery shopping.

Love it it’s in a nice area I had the Nutella freakshake so good love the inside staff was nice and friendly the white chick who served me came and ask how’s it like that doesn’t happen at other cafes will go back again

Amazing service & Really yummy food! The chefs were quick to get our meals out at breakfast time with nice presentation. I would definitely go back !

Good food and great coffees . Been there couple of times, Staff is very friendly and excellent service.<br/>Nutella hot chocolate is a must try.

We absolutely loved the FREAKSHAKES!!! Oreo & Nuttella ❤️ the servings are really big and it is the best thing when you are hungry 😆 amazing taste and presentation! The cafe itself looks really inviting with a very relaxing vibe inside.

Awesome fresh decor! Owners are lovely 😊 and the staff are attentive. Highly recommend as food is not only delicious but very generous with portions. Super convenient! Must try! 👌🏽

I have been wanting to try this cafe since it opened and today I finally got the chance.<br/><br/>I tried the creamy mushrooms as I had seen alot of photos and thought they looked incredible! The mushrooms were definitely tasty... But only for a few bites. I personally found these mushrooms far too rich and creamy. I started to feel really sick about half way so I just got it packed for later. My friend absolutely loved hers and didn't find it unbearably rich like I did - so I guess its each to their own. We always tried the salt and pepper squid. The squid was rubbery and we didn't enjoy it however the chips were super yummy!<br/><br/>One of the waitresses even bought out some water for my friends puppy which I thought was really nice.<br/><br/>I'd definitely come back and give other items on the menu a go.

The food is delicious and the staff are really friendly! The food is really reasonably priced too. Dog friendly with seating outside, the treats in the dog bowls are a really nice touch! A hidden gem in South Auckland!

We love coming here ...Premium Place for Premium Team clients. The coffee is one of the best in South East Auckland, the owners are very friendly to chat too and the meals are always spot on and on top of it awesome service. <br/><br/>Overall a great place to have your coffee or eat!

Great to have a new cafe in the area. It is light & bright with lots of seating options.<br/>Service was good, very friendly with meals delivered in a reasonable time.<br/>The menu is varied with all the usual options. I ordered the Avo on toast - it was nice, but not the best I’ve had as it was really more like guacamole with tomato & onion in it. Avo should be on its own. The added bacon was a generous serve & cooked perfectly. Coffee again generous & well made.

Ormiston Cafe is a new eatery which opens early & closes at 4 pm & located at the rear end of Pak'n'Save. Both beef burger on a brioche bun & crumbled squid were good. Wait staff was friendly & cheerful. Coffees could have been hotter; especial the "bullet-proof" - a blend of coffee with coconut oil, which cools down a bit after the blend.<br/>Suggestion - cabinet food could have more variety<br/>(Food - 3.5/5; Service - 4.5/5; Ambience - 4.5/5)<br/>Visited on 9 Feb 2018

Knowing Sanjay from when he used to own The Coffee Club Meadowlands, I had high expectations set for Ormiston Cafè. <br/><br/>Their coffee is incredible as per usual, and the food is well worth the price for the amount that you get. I can’t quite recall the name of their big breakfast, but it was HUGE! <br/><br/>Last but not least, the staff are always friendly and a delight to chat with. Ormiston cafè has become a Saturday morning ritual for myself and the bf!

It's great to have a new cafe open in the neighborhood! The cafe decor is great, well set out, modern and inviting. We were greeted promptly upon arriving and given menus so we could take a seat and order.<br/><br/>I had the an omelette and a hot chocolate and my partner had eggs bene and a juice. I really liked my omelette, light and fluffy and there was a lot of filling. My only negative for this was the dressing that was on the salad gotten into my eggs and was not edible after that. My hot chocolate was super hot just the way I like it.<br/><br/>I will definitely be back!

Came here in the first month of opening. It's nice to have another decent cafe in South (East) Auckland to add to the rotation! Coffee was good and the staff were attentive, although clearly still inexperienced/a bit nervous - probably didn't need to offer me tomato sauce to go with my eggs bene. The menu has a lot of classics and is reasonably priced, and the cabinet food looked tasty. I'm looking forward to coming back with my partner one weekend.
