Tasteful Seconds By Kyrsta Lynn

The service here was very friendly and kind. I ordered the kids eggs benedict because I was not extremely hungry. It was perfect size and for a great price. One of my friends grabbed the Asian Hokkien Noodles which were also extremely tasty and a wonderful portion size. We stayed for 2-3 hours chatting so it was a great atmosphere to have a chat and hang out for a while. The place itself is quite small but the seating is comfortable! Wasn't blown away by anything but no complaints here.
Service was fantastic and great food options. Coffee was good. Wife loved her burger, paleo stack was nice but a little bland. Maybe my fault for taking out the bacon so no problems here. Miss 3 loved her pancakes. Mr 1 just wriggled everywhere and liked the staff

TLDR - food 4.5/5; service 5/5; atmosphere 3.5/5; value for money 4/5
Dishes:
• Lamb stack on quinoa - generous portion of really tender and well seasoned lamb, sweet caramelised onions and good amount of mint and beetroot sauce. Quinoa was really crispy. Highly recommend! This originally came with feta but as I'm dairy free they swapped it for vegan cheese!
• Ox benny - I didn't try this cos I'm dairy free but I was told it was good :)
I'm not vegan, but I am dairy free, and as someone with these food restrictions, I know how hard it is to find a cafe with dairy free options (other than a salad - boring). This cafe has its own separate vegan menu with about 8 different options, as well as vegan drink options in addition. I'm all for vegan menus, and recommend anyone with dietary requirements to come here as they have a range of v/gf/df options and are really great at accommodating for allergies.
The atmosphere is nice and cool inside, a bit small but today wasn't crowded so it was fine. My only critique is that there was a small fruit fly and a large fly annoying me for most of my mealtime.
Otherwise, very happy with the experience. The staff were very helpful and really lovely. They also let us stick around for two hours while we talked, and then when we paid they told me I was pretty
Amazing service and friendly staff. Had The usual breakfast, absolutely divine. Would recommend this cafe highly. Friendliest staff I've ever encountered in my life
One of a kind in this neighborhood. Love this place. Great for sitting down and working, reading, or meeting a friend. The employees are absolutely delightful. Food and coffee are excellent.
Dropped into soulshine on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Great tasting food and great kids menu. My kids ate all their breakfast which is a first. The bread used in the eggs benedict was delicious. Great friendly staff The only negative was we had quite a big table of people and thought our order would be taken by the wattress but was told we had to order at the counter.
Maddy provided great customer service - super friendly and attentive.
Seats were comfortable and the vibe was very chill.
Great food and location, would definitely come again! I ordered the vege eggs benedict on a quinoa pattie.
Friendly, cosy neighbourhood cafe. Always bumping into people I know here. Menu has heaps of clean options and Sera makes a lot of the treats herself. It’s a dog friendly cafe and there are always many pooches chilling out there.
Beautiful cafe. Highly recommend stopping by and giving Soulshine a try. Amongst the countless array of cafes in Browns Bay, Soulshine stands out for sure. From the delicious and beautifully plated food to the friendly, warming staff, I couldn’t be more content with my experience. Great coffee too. You may find that parking is a little easier to find and less scarce than the other cafes around as well which is a plus.
We tried this friendly Cafe on Sunday morning.
The food looked very good and was generally recommendable.
We did not liked the dirty covers of the chairs inside. Please improve this.
Overall we can recommend it. It’s close to the beach and it looks like the whole family is working together to make the customers happy.
Price is average for this region

A true hidden gem. I'm so glad to have discovered them. They exceeded my expectations.
This is quickly becoming our favorite breakfast local, one of the few cafes open from 7.30am in this area and always delivering friendly customer service and yummy food. Love the range of vegan options and the coffee has been spot on too. This mornings mushroom stack with quinoa roastie and beetroot hummus was absolutely delicious.
UPDATE: Vegan loaded fries were hot, crispy and tasty with fresh toppings and a good quality vegan cheese. Daughter said the smoked salmon eggs benedict was to die for - generous with the salmon, perfectly poached eggs and sweet and tangy sauce to tie the flavors together. Happy customers once again.
Awesome food, we had the chicken stack and French toast both were well priced and super tasty. One of the best cafes on the shore.
Awesome vegan and vege options and offer a discount if you bring your own cup for takeaways.
Decor was slightly aged and could do with a bit of a tickle up but had a nice homely feel and staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.
What an absolutely divine breakfast I had at this cafe. The service was great and the food scrumpy. I'm not vegan but I chose the mushroom stack with a quinoa rosti and it was so tasty. I recommend this cafe to anyone who wants something different and absolutely mouthwatering to try this cafe in Browns Bay
They have a separate vegan menu with amazing options. The quesadilla was very tasty, and the mushroom burger was really special. Highly recommended!
Favorite cafe in Auckland ! Great food, friendly staff, and I love the coffee.
I highly recommend Soul Shine.
Going again this Saturday it'll be my third visit. The photo is of the big breakfast, everything thing was excellent.
Great service. Excellent ambience.
Going to try the French Toast next time.
Even has a excellent Vegan menu if that's what rocks your boat.
My only disappointment here was I ordered a green salad and, after looking at the menu again, realized I had got a seasonal green salad. The makeup of the salads being quite different. As I had an appointment to get to, and the service wasn't exactly fast, I didn't say anything at the time. I think there should be some renaming of one of the menu items to stop this mix up happening.
The food and coffee were good, and would be willing to go again.
