Review Rations Lunch Bar Cafe - Auckland

Comfy café. Freshly prepared food. Central city location. Old home style. Great retro interior.

love this place, I always try to support when I am in the area. Real 'mom and pop' place, the owners are so friendly and Covid has been real hard on them (with less working people and uni students). Their food has always been good.

I love this cafe. I really don't think the owners are judging people by the amount of money they spend... perhaps there is a language barrier that makes people think the owners are not nice... but if you try talk to them you will find that they are lovely and just trying to get by. The lockdown has been hard for them so I really urge you to support local rather than the chains. The food I've had has always been really nice- their bagels are SO YUMMY and sandwiches was fresh and very flavourful. Definitely reccoment this place.

Food and coffee was good and priced well. My only issue which I guess is a big one, even though no one was there I felt like we were inconveniencing the owners. Given 1 sachet of sugar each to go with out coffees. No spoon to stir with. No napkins. Not alot of effort to satisfy the only 2 paying customers at the time

First stop for my morning coffee, and a great sandwich or omelette for lunch!

10/10 these bad reviews are rubbish this place is class

Lovely quiet place to sit and enjoy

Cafe was cute and cosy, and the coffee and sandwiches I had tasted so good!! Would go back again :)

Reading the past reviews, I think people have been extremely unfair. Rating a small family owned business 2/3 starts because of seating? Because it wasn’t presented like high end cafes? They are a nice little café, homely food, the sandwiches were filled and fresh. The hot chocolate I got was one of the best hot chocolates I’ve had. Extremely lovely owners who must be paying astronomical rent, and have been hit hard by covid-19. Really urge everyone to support the little guys, don’t come expecting food like you’d get in Candyshop or Bambina. Instead, expect humble, homely food which is at a good price too. Support local!

Very charming inside and outside and food was well made. Not very comfortable to sit though. It a nice place for a quick coffee or quick informal meeting.

If you are looking for a fancy brunch/coffee then this is not the place for you. But if you are only stopping for a quick coffee before work like I did this morning, or a quick snack the place is not too bad. The coffee was alright and the owners were friendly.

horrible saggy sandwiches, rotten muffins, <br/>worst coffee and miso soups.<br/>Plus, the respect you receive is totally related to the money you spend, i.e. no respect for purchase less than 5 dollars!!!!<br/>I used to buy my lunch from this place but the sandwich bread is 10 times worse than the budget bread in the "countdown" supermarket. They used to save money by using two different type of bread in one SANDWICH!!! YES THAT is right... one side was whole grain and one side was crappy white cheap bread!!!!Besides, they barely put chicken or protein in the buns or sandwiches ( 5 grams or less), it s mainly butter and mayo and some rotten smelly old leaves.<br/>I had to reduce my purchase to a coffee and a scone later, but coffee was usually burnt !!!!<br/>then I switched to miso soup and onagiri ( sushi bun) but at this stage they started to reduce the respect as I paid less money. Onagiri is basically rice and mayo, You wont be able to find more than 5 grams of tuna or chicken in it !!!!!! I mean it. <br/>They finally gave me hot water as miso soup yesterday and I finally decided to write this review and never go back there.
