My mum and I had lunch here today. What a breath of fresh air! Great food and drink, and the friendliest staff! Highly recommend this fab spot in our lovely local village! �
This is by far my fave cafe in howick - food is amazing, coffee is fab and all the staff or so friendly. Would definitely recommend to come here if your ever in the area ☺️☺️
Delicious coffee and Buddha bowl. Big portions and luscious amount of avocado. Would definitely visit there again.
They've had a huge improvement recently! The manager who was also serving today was real genuine and brought an energetic vibe to the place.
We ordered eggs Benedict with salmon (they have a huuuge selection of egg benes though!), egg white omelette, and avo stack. The ciabatta was amazing, often they're quite tough and hard to eat, but urban's is soft and buttery - that would be the highlight of the meal today honestly. Their potato hash in the avo stack was also really different - much creamier than other places, very herby, and not overly crunchy. Another interesting dish was the egg white omelette - it was airy and fluffy, well salted, and had crispy (but not too crunchy) bacon strips, and aromatic capsicums. The pumpkin seeds added an earthy flavour and crunchy texture.
I also thought their hot chocolate is not overly sweet and quite milky which suits my taste 😋
Would be keen to try out their other egg benes (some interesting ones on there such as sausage, and pulled pork options)
Had a coffee early morning and was greeted very nicely, didn’t sound forced and the service was much quicker than expected and the taste was heavenly!
First time here over weekend busy but worth wee wait! Perfect omelette - spot on! (Sorry forgot to take photo). Lovely coffee and service too. Look forward to next time Howick
Lovely corner cafe. The iced chocolate and bacon and egg benne were beautiful, would definitely go back again. Service was good apart from some waitresses wondering aimlessly- however overall good experience.
Had buttermilk pancakes - quite filling. Would love to have had the option of small (one) and large (two)
Fine little gem, friendly service/owner and food is delicious. We always come for the fries! Also love how they have blankets for outside seating
Cosy and modern place - hidden on the corner of one of Howick’s main streets. Salads we had were delicious and had good flavour combos. Would come back!
Ordered the buttermilk blueberry pancakes which were really tasty and a really good portion size. Also ordered a peppermint hot chocolate which was delicious. The staff were really friendly as well. Really great value for money too! Overall a fantastic little cafe in Howick
Excellent food, great ambience and lovely staff
Nice cozy atmosphere. It was very entertaining to hear people cheering for the all blacks in another place next door as well as the staff cheering loudly when they tried. Food is good, we ordered mince on toast, pancakes, the special pork bene, and two drinks. Very happy that they have dairy free options for smoothies. The person serving us was very nice an attentive.
Delicious food and great customer service, coffee was pretty good.
We ordered the vege Avo Stack and the Salmon Avo stack. Both delicious. The chef was very attentive to our food allergies which we appreciated.
Great atmosphere and also lots to choose from in the cabinet, including Gluten Free and Dairy Free options.
Always love spending the morning here! Consistently serve great coffee with great soy/oat milk options. The staff are always super friendly and cheerful. One thing that could be improved is some more vegan friendly menu/cabinet items.
Good cafe with reasonable fast service and reasonably priced, although it gets busy at times. Good is decent, but the offer of petit size eggs Benedict is a good addition to the menu for those who cannot handle the usual large portions. However for medium coffee, the serving cup seems small.
This is my second home. Not because my wife wishes it, but because of the unique diligence to detail; everything from exquisite food, ambient atmosphere and outstanding service. For those old farts, it is the 'Cheers' we all wanted. Don't just come for one visit; make it a sanctuary during the day; I have and it has enriched my life.
Stopped by for lunch. It wasn't too busy since we were here quite late so we picked a table by the door.
The menu was a bit different to other cafes, for instance, the iced chocolate here had coconut cream so it had a bit of a different flavour.
The meals were a bit more standard. I had the mince on toast with a poached egg, It was nice, with the mince sweetened with grated carrots. A nice way to hide veggies for those who don't like it. I was expecting a bit more gravy to dip the bread in though.
Also tried a bit of the fish sliders and it wasn't bad.
Overall a nice cafe with friendly staff.
Staff were very professional and accommodating. Was nice to sit outside with our dogs and enjoy the atmosphere. Food was nice and the menu had a good variety of options. Only disappointment was my poached eggs were hard boiled but when I informed a member of staff it was resolved instantly and they were genuinely apologetic. Will definitely return, probably even as soon as next week!
Dog friendly cafe with super attentive staffs and scrumptious food! ☕️great coffee too! Thank you for letting Luffy sit inside on a rainy day 🙏🐶👍
Very nice food, customer service and environment. Plenty of car park at the back. They also have a lot of choices of breads, cakes or muffins. A lot of different types of drinks too. Good job! We will come back again.
Very nice little cafe. Food, coffee was good and service as well. The chef just need to learn not to vape in front of customers and right in front of the cafe.
