I went on just wanted a take away coffee, instead i had a full happy belly, the flat white coffee was good, and breakfast bruschetta is really surprisingly tasty. Nice little cafe that i’d come back again for another brunch!!
Whilst visiting the area stumbled upon this pleasant cafe. Busy Saturday morning vibe. Great coffee, quick service and the date and orange scone to die for 🤗
I’ve been visiting this place for years and it has some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. I don’t come as often now as I’ve moved farther away, but when I do visit, the awesome staff and owners remember not only my name, but my coffee order. It’s things like that which make a place special.
I’ve tried most things in the menu over the years but special mention goes to the phenomenal pancakes and the chicken & artichoke toastie. The decor hasn’t changed since I’ve been coming, and aside from some of the dishes, it’s not terribly instagrammable (if that’s your motivation) but I love this place and it’s people. Even the kitchen staff (who have been with the company for years) often call out a cheery goodbye if they notice you leaving. I love it!
I go to this place when I get my car wash done at Rub-a-dub. There's no wow-factor here but at the same time there's nothing bad either. Would love to see some new stuff
Tried the Smoked Salmon bruschetta and it was amazing !!! Esp the smoked salmon 😍 I’ve been recreating this simple yet elegant dish and all the salmon I’ve tried isn’t close to Espressos. Service is great ! Very friendly employees and making sure you are attended to at all times. Also enjoyed my pot of peppermint tea was brewed to perfection. This place is amazing
Went for breakfast, morning tea, and lunch.
Got the berry pancakes and French toast. Both tasted extremely sweet. Pancakes were the perfect texture, not too fluffy or dense. The French toast had great syrup added to it. The addition of the fruit really helped in making the flavours work well together. For lunch, we got a club sandwich and biscotti. Club sandwich was a bit salty but was all right for the price of $3. It was my first time trying the biscotti and it tasted great. Would come again to try their other cabinet desserts.
This was a great chance find. We were staying at Newmarket Motel just up the road and needed somewhere for breakfast. This definitely fitted the bill. We had breakfast both mornings here. We were a group of eight and they had no problem with seating us and no delay in the food. Two of us had cabinet food and the rest ordered off the menu. Everything was really good and the coffee was great Staff were really friendly - to the extent of moving tables around for us so we could sit together. Really happy with everything here.
Have any of you foodies notice a little cafe on the corner of busy Manukau/Owens roads, selling cafe snacks.
You may have driven/walk past them or waited at the busy intersection outside untold times and not notice them there, unless yer a local like me/us. Nicely made coffee brewed there too.
Came here during their peak hours.
The lady at the counter was so friendly! Instantly felt welcomed!
I ordered their salmon on bagels (they have a name for it but I can't remember!) with avocado, rocket and oil dressing. Was really nicely seasoned! Salmon was fresh, the bagels were crispy and avocados were nice and creamy. I also ordered their berry and banana smoothie, which was very nice and refreshing!
My friend ordered the Moroccan Lamb salad, which looked really good as well!
Prices are also really decent for their portion and quality, would definitely come here again!
This is a little gem in the area and it has been serving us well for Sunday brunch for many years. This place seems to have changed owners in the past few years, but the dishes from the kitchen and the coffees are still as good as always.
Would recomend the lemon soufflés pancakes, they are not the ready made pancakes from supermarket like some of the other cafes. It is so fluffy and the taste is very balanced and not too sweet.
Fantastic cafe which is always buzzing. Great coffee, great service, and the owners are super friendly. At $7.90 my iced latte was about $1 overpriced but I’ll let it slide just because they’re one of my longstanding locals!

Great little cafe, very busy for lunch when I was there but the staff were friendly and the service was quick. Food was delicious, a little gem.
Excellent owners, great coffee and food.
Love this place staff are all so friendly they know my order before I even go In get at least 2 coffees a day here. Nice location friendly vibe and good for client meetings too.
It’s been my daily coffee takeout place for a couple of months now. Great coffee and friendly staff.
Had brunch there. Owners amazing and friendly. Food delicious. A must for a coffee if you are in the area
The coffee is fabulous and food is fresh and tasty. Nice service!!! Always come with my friends!
Breakfast with 5 other work colleagues. Great coffee. Most of us had eggs Benedict and the bacon was excellent. One of our group had the big brekkie and he was not disappointed. A busy Cafe is a good thing, constant flow of customers grabbing a coffee ☕
Coffee is SO GOOD! Staff are really friendly and I get a high self worth vibe coming off every one which makes me feel uplifted. Food is expensive but that's to be expected, and there are muffins and some cabinet items in the more affordable range. Large coffee is just over $5, I think $5.50? I'll be back!
Nice little space with outdoor seating roadside. Coffee was really nice and they have a lovely cabinet selection plus menu to order.
