Had the most amazing brunch bowl - it was incredibly fresh and suitable to all dietary needs. I was also pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive it was - a massive bonus for such a delicious dish! The staff were also super friendly and helpful with having a toddler present.
Had lunch outside in the sun, all 5 of us were happy with our varied choices brunch/lunch choices. The food was tasty and delicious. Service also good. Free sunscreen which we took advantage of ;-) Will come back again soon!
Atmosphere is amazing. Located right next to the “lake”, it’s so cool. Especially in summer days. Food is nice, drinks are good. A good place for brunch or dinner. Only thing - the salmon needs improvement, really did not like the way it is “marinated”.
Amazing restaurant on the point.

Great cafe to sit down, enjoy the view and have a delicious meal. We came on a Saturday for lunch and managed to grab one of their last tables outside.
I enjoyed the vegan grains bowl with avocado, pomegranate, raw beetroot slaw, hummus and crispy chickpeas. The grain was well seasoned and very flavourful. My friend's beef cheek benedict served on thick brioche toast was also well received!
I visit Fabric often to get a taste of their amazing coffee and take in the beautiful view outside. Come night, their Espresso martini’s are just as amazing and the view, even better. All of the staff are so welcoming which makes the experience a solid 10/10.I recently ordered their vegan grain bowl (pictured) and would definitely come back for more!
Food was good, location and atmosphere made the place nice, however the staff kept asking if drinks were for us, but they were for another table. It happened approximately 4 times, that was my only quarrel. Overall really nice place to eat
Could not fault Fabric, service was great with all staff being friendly and happy to help with any request. All our food came out in one lot which was great, large portions and very well thought out presentation made the meal enjoyable. The location of Fabric is next to none with stunning views of the water.
I went with my partner for brunch, it’s a great spot with a stunning view. Service was great and we loved our meals. An outside seat is really hard to get so you may want to try booking one in advance.
Always greeted well, have only come for breakfast. Great coffee every time, never a bad one so far. Usually have the Eggs Bene with bacon, love the kale on top, its a real nice addition.
Great place with a good location, lovely meals all round.
Pictured is seafood chowder, lamb rotti and chicken burger.
Chicken burger had a bit more heat (chilli) than I was expecting, but still enjoyable.
Lovely restaurant by the water. We had breakfast on a beautiful sunny day. I ordered farmhouse eggs with Sourdough Bread and sausage and my niece got the smoked fish on toast. In addition we had a latte and a flat white. We enjoyed our food, although I was surprised to note that the bread was fried!! I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was just toasted lightly with a little butter, but heh, a little grease never hurt anyone!!
Great location and vibe. Parking can be quite challenging, but it's worth a visit during quieter times. The food was average and predictable, but the barista coffee was outstanding. The service staff members are all very friendly, and I strongly recommend you to try it sometime.
We ended up here after a lovely circuit of the Hobsonville Coastal Walkway. A beautiful setting right on the water. The food was excellent, with attention to detail. The Nicoise Salad correctly had a soft-boiled egg, rather than hard-boiled, and mustard seeds. Iced coffee was delicious. The fries, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, were enhanced by truffle oil. The service was excellent as well, despite the cafe being very busy.
I love the food here. I've been here 3 times so far, always enjoyed my meals. Highly recommended.
Excellent coffee. Highly recommended. Wafting cheeseburger and the lamb ribs. Nice ambience. Excellent staff.
Luckily we’d arrive before 11.30 as breaky was still on the offer and we were not disappointed at all. I had the Smoked Kahawai $23 which was to die for so delicious !!! I got the jackpot thought because the Avocado toast looked a wee small for a dollar less. Love the big breakfast up size for hubby though you can chose any breakfast and add hashbrown, bacon, sausage, tomato for only $15
Everyone commented on the sourdough toast and just the food in general well worth the visit to this great location- service a little slow though and it wasn’t particularly busy but all forgiven when I got my breakfast
Can’t wait to go back
Pleasant spot on the waterfront by the boardwalk and water taxi. Good service, pleasant atmosphere. Would come again. Also part of a circular walk/ run if you fancy.. Good selection of cakes and food.
We went there a couple of days ago and had outside seats. View was amazing and the seats were comfortable and perfect to sit outside. We ordered cherry soda and fish of the day which was salmon. Staff kindly explained what was on the menu on that day and apologized that some menus were not available. The salmon skin was very crispy and the other part was very tender. I also loved salad. The walkway was right behind the cafe, so it was nice to spend time walking, seeing the sunset.
It can be a bit crowded on weekends but it's a good place for brunch with a good view, the food was good, It could take some time to get the food on the table cuz I think they are short of staff, either way they were lovely.
