I regularly visit Open Table when I want to study. Always warm and welcoming. Great coffee and the food is to die for. All very reasonably priced.
Been here with hub & bub for breakkie and we’d say this is truly a hidden gem! We were satisfied with the food and the service! Staff were friendly and accommodating. Love the presentation of the food! It tastes as good as it looks! 😍 keep it up!
Another busy cafe. But food got pretty presentation, service polite and friendly.drinks tasty nice.

Been here twice now, food is fresh, good portion size. Not too badly priced either compared to other cafes which serve the same thing. Recommend the iced mocha frappe also, tastes great!
Yum! Just had brunch here with a few friends, found this place on a Zomato search. Safe to say we were all satisfied. Had a set menu as well as specials so ALOT to choose from. Size of the meals we had were good for the price. Service was great. And we all went away feeling pretty satisfied! Would certainly go back again.
Open Table certainly is a hidden gem. Right in the residential hub of Ellerslie, it is one of my new fave spots. I have visited a handful of times (practically eating my way through the menu) and so far, I’m impressed. The price range couldn’t be more reasonable considering the size, with specials listed on their blackboard. The area is open with benches outside, a great stop for a summer brunch. The staff are always lovely, and the food is served in a timely manner. I normally order sweet, having tried the waffles, French toast and recently the vegan pancakes all being a hit - the corn fritters listed on the board are also a must try.
The most important test of any cafe... how is the coffee? And I am stoked to find that my local cafe makes great java. Food is really good as well, the poached eggs are always perfectly cooked with a runny yolk and the big breakfast lives up to its name. Really happy to have something so good within walking distance.
Was great to have a brunch here:) busy cafe. very kind staff and good service. I had egg Benedict with salmon. And calamari salad. Coffee was good too:) i would come back here again:)
Lovely cafe just down the road from Michaels reserve, always busy and popular amongst locals. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and there’s heaps of selections for everyone.

My new favourite neighbourhood café. Unbelievable food, efficient service and serving meals that are actually positive for your arteries. This is a must stop for people who are after a fresh, healthy and filling meal. I would consider this place to be a bit of a hidden gem. It's on the suburban road which does mean plenty of street parking.
I ordered the Salad De Jour which was marinated beef, crispy onion rings, grilled halloumi, and salads. It was spectacular in appearance and taste. The variety of textures from the salad made sure that your mouth was always refreshed with a new texture. You could sink your teeth into either firm small tomatoes, crisp onion rings or crunchy cucumber. A bowl full of excitement.
In terms of the appearance, the meal was dazzling. Full of vibrant lush colors, the meal will certainly excite the taste buds. If you’re wondering about the amount of beef, halloumi or onion rings, it was plentiful.
My partner had the spicy prawn tacos, Like the Salad De Jour, it was packed with fresh vegetables and a healthy amount of prawns. In terms of taste, I had a bite it was fine but lacking that kick I would expect.
Open Table is such a relaxing spot, there is a distinct character/ identity to the place which really allows the café to stand out. I just want to say a great job to the Open Table store owners and staff. I had the most wonderful experience dining in.
Showstopper: A café with identity and flair. The Salad De Jour an absolute delight.
Overall Grade: A+
Cute small cafe, lovely service and staff - they are friendly and helpful (when you can’t decide what to eat) the food was nice too. Berry smoothie was a little bland but I didn’t mind. Very tidy and clean place
Can't fault the food, everything tasted good! This small roadside cafe is busy, but the food is served in a timely manner. Has lots of food for offer, with a range of cabinet choices. The only thing was the chalkboard menu with the menu items written sporadically around the board - cool to look at, but it's hard to read all the items!
cute local cafe! food gave a very homely feel— we got the french toast and eggs benedict and portions were quite filling:) coffee was okay! lovely service
A somewhat hole in the wall cafe. The FOH persons seems like the owner and he's so enthusiastic in helping customers. So far, one of the best steak and cheese pies I've tasted in NZ. Good price too.
The blueberry pancake though could be better. It was not light and fluffy, but a but heavy/dense and crumbles as you slice through it. But the whole plate was a hefty serving so quantity wise it was good.
Caramel slice was sublime.
If you're in the Michael's Ave area in Ellerslie this is a popular little cafe. Cornish pastie, carrot cake, mint slice all very tasty. The smoothie was icey though. ❄
Great hidden gem cafe located close to Michaels Reserve. Love it. Very delicious breakfast dishes. Family friendly. High chairs available. Highly recommend.
Delicious food. Consistently good. Friendly service. Value for money. Generous portions. Love the hollandaise sauce. Great coffee. Our family favourite!
small cafe down a urban street away from the hussell prefect for those not wanting to be near the busy city centre. i loved it. service was friendly and welcoming. Our breakfasts were all but delicious. would definitely visit again if ever in this area.
Me and my partner visited this cafè on Saturday morning and it was amazing! The customer service was great and the food + coffees were amazing quality and very yummy! Can't wait to come back here, thanks for your great service :)
Absolutely delicious coffee and waffles!!!!!! Staff were all amazingly kind and helpful. Been in Auckland for three days and super gutted that we found this hidden gem on our way out!
