Review The Old Woodshop & Corner Cafe - New Lynn

Delightful food, coffee and service. The avocado smash was delicious.

I enjoyed the food but the food took so long to arrive, my coffee was already cold by the time i got my food. Took 40 minutes for mushrooms on toast. Was really frustrated. Im happy with the flavors so giving a 3 out of 5.<br/>

Love the paleo breakfast here. The decor is interesting but, the people are welcoming and so is the atmosphere, so it makes for a nice place to catch up with family.<br/>The coffee is good too - I get a long black with cream...

Having just landed back in Auckland from a month away, I was after some good ole Kiwi breakfast and specifically a scrumptious Egg Benedict. We picked this café because it was close to my place and having been away for a month, I wasn’t in a driving mood. <br/><br/>In terms of the food itself, I wouldn’t say that the food was bad it was just average. My friend picked up the Hash Cake which according to her would have been perfect if there weren’t any onions. She did commend the milk/smoothie option which she liked.<br/><br/>Overall nice little place around New Lynn for those after some café delights. Unfortunately, like a bit of a noob I forgot to check out the so-called furniture which made this place unique. When I get the chance to pop in again I’ll make sure to check out the furniture!<br/><br/>Overall Grade: B

Just down the road from my in laws so we’ve popped in a few times & with this colder weather it’s perfect for a nice hot coffee. Service amazing. Food is yum !

Lovely place to visit, always seem to be trying new things it seems. Good prices and okay food.  Off late the other half  seems to have discovered some new treat here. Well located and lovely furniture to browse at.  My experience was tainted here by having tea served in a chipped tea - pot so that is a strike for me and i will not be going back in a hurry.

Great coffee!<br/>I am a fan of a good coffee after a workout and it's right round the corner form Les Mills New Lynn.<br/>I've only had a slice of cake from here, which was quite tasty, but other than that I haven't tried the food

Nice food, tried the french toast, was nice, bacon was good, and service was good.<br/>Didnt have the mince on toast but saw someone elses and looks rel good,  will go back again and try that :)<br/> <br/><br/>EDIT.... Been back lots of times since, and is now our breakfast place of choice, nice place, good prices and food

This place is delicious. The food was really great and the service and staff were so friendly. The only problem I had was that the food was a little expensive. I ordered an eggs on toast with pesto.

Great place to come short or long time!  Coffee great. Staff engaging (not pushy), a good understanding of relaxed understated attitude and consideration for customers with exceptional food and good old fashioned kiwi service.,,,gotta be good!

I love his cafe, I've walked past it many times and only just gone in and I think it's going to be my new cafe spot. One of the few cafes in new Lynn with Nice decor and nice staff that isn't a chain store, has a unique feel and great vibes. 10/10.

Basically, it was the fresh coffee smell led me to this place when I was in the vicinity.  Their take-out items looked amazing, I will come back to try more! (My friends later told me that their kitchen food, especially breakfast, are very yummy. I have decided to take them for a brunch later :)  The price is reasonable, staffs do interact with the customers and provide friendly service. <br/><br/>While waiting for my coffee, I was exploring the shop, lots of interesting goodies to see.  I think there are some goodies I will purchase as gifts for my friend's birthday later!

We came in as we living nearby to try out cup coffee so order dates scone <br/>Coffee was too strong and beans was burnt taste bitter <br/>Pity closed early as its shame didn't have chance to look around back of the shop !!

Staff are nice, they are a family and take good care of their cafe. Very stylistic and cute.<br/><br/>We ordered the caramel slice, pasta, hot chocolate and tea.<br/><br/>Caramel slice was really cold, to a point where it was hard to break apart. That wasn't that great on a cold rainy day. The chicken pasta was pretty good but it was quite expensive, especially since I've seen it more cheaper in popular cafes near the city. Also the sprinkle of paprika- I would've liked it to be in the pasta more, and for the sauce to be a tad creamier.<br/><br/>Also very sad that they didn't have chips but they're ordering in a deep fryer! Will possibly come back when they do haha <br/><br/>

Lovely little family owned Cafe in New Lynn. The chef works hard to keep the menu changing and add some fresh healthy stuff. The Cafe is connected to a wooden furniture store which has influenced the cute decor inside. Would certainly go back.

Great friendly service, they really look after their clients. Liked the family environment and the decor with inspirational and positive messages. The food is great and they offer many options. Very roomy with nice furniture. You can sit by the window or hide away in one of their hide away Cosy corners. They've got an outdoor area too.

Great service, cool vibe. Some of the nicest coffees we have ever had at a cafe. My menu item was stunning and my husband got two things from the cabinet which were both fresh and tasty. Highly recommend checking this place out

Food and beverages ordered: Pancakes with bacon, big breakie, latte and flat white. <br/><br/>Environment: homey and down to earth<br/><br/>Services: very friendly <br/><br/>Costs: $25 per person <br/><br/>Will I return: yes<br/><br/>Comment: A place when stepped in, give you a familiar feeling as you are home. The food are down to earth so does the price. Pancakes with bacon, along with fried banana are awesome. The big breakie is hearty and heart warming (especially the bake beans). *****Accidentally deleted the photos*****

Love the look and feel of the place. Chai latte and coffee were good. They also serve cronuts. Bacon and egg bap is alright, might need some siding though. Staff are pleasant. Nice little corner place to hang out.

Lovely cafe, warm staff. Excellent eggs and coffee! <br/>Quirky/ Interesting decor. Fantastic playlist on the stereo.<br/><br/>The best cafe in New Lynn in my opinion.

Had poached eggs and toast there today, eggs were cooked perfectly nice and runny. Free range too. Hot drink took a little while to arrive they were quite busy though so it's to be expected. Nice atmosphere, good music and friendly staff. Good work , hope to be back soon.

This is the best cafe. Go there on a regular basis. Staff are the most lovely cheerful people. Service is spot on! Recommended to everyone! Absolutely love it!

overpriced, some of the menu items taste as though they have been in a freezer for a few weeks. staff were nonchalant and did not make an effort to welcome customers or assist in any way, preferring to txt on their phones. parking terrible, almost non existent. opposite a primary school, so if you are looking for a 'peaceful' coffee around play times, forget it!
