Had their fiori mushrooms and it was good. Mix of mushrooms, poached egg, chorizo, toast with some nice parmesan cheese.

A random choice, because the cafe I usually go to down the road didn’t have any available parking. I ordered the smashed avocados on rye, and it was an okay meal. It came with a kale & beetroot salad, and grilled tomatoes (which made the dish). I would’ve appreciated more avocado in the ricotta-avocado mouse, which only had specks of it, and perhaps more acidity in the dish... But I’m just nitpicking. It was an enjoyable dish, with crispy bread and perfectly-poached eggs. Espresso wasn’t bad either. However, a general grungy interior is a bit of a let-down. With bird-on-a-wire and Takapuna beach cafe nearby, I don’t think I’ll be coming back here again, but it wasn’t a bad experience. And before 10am they also do a 20% discount for food so it was slightly cheaper than the others, and worked out to be just under $20 for my coffee and breakfast dish. Service was good.
The food here is excellent, with a good menu with a few unusual options to spice up your brunch options. Their French toast is done vert well with a good balance of fine flavors. Their beans and bacon bun was a delicious savory breakfast. Their coffee is well made and they cleverly place a plate of small free taste of some of their bakery items so you can try and see of you like. Their service is generally good, but not consistent. They also offer freshly squeezed juices and smoothies which was well above average and not just run of the mill. One of the few places I could go to again and again.
Pretty good for a cafe but kind of overpriced. But great food. Recommend getting the Groupon deal. Friendly Staff. Kind of has a quiet vibe but I guess it was early. I don't know why this place has such a bad rating, it's so good!
It was a small cafe located at the busy Takapuna street, very easily to be found but you will have to depend on your luck to get a parking.
I came here to have a brunch and catch up with my girlfriend. I had a lemon pepper calamari salad and I quite like it. Probably it was a weekday so there wasn't much people except those who passby and get a takeaway coffee. We were very full when we finished our food as they gave generous portion.
On both occasions of my visit i was impressed. The food was excellent and the service was great.
On my latest visit - which was a Thursday afternoon, the cafe was calm and peaceful and smelled of delicious coffee. We ordered the sirloin steak, salmon and calmari. The steak was evenly cooked to juicy perfection and the salmon tasted wonderful with the home made tartare sauce. All were beautifully presented.
I would highly recommend these dishes!
The portion sizes are also quite big - on my first visit we had to take the leftover food home.
Although it takes some time for the food to come out, I think its definitely worth the wait.
I find their prices to be very reasonable as the quality of their food is quite high.
With their burgers comes beautifully stacked fries - I think it would be nice if their fries were a bit crispier.
The service was excellent - the hostess was kind and attentive and I was very impressed.
Parking is on Hurstmere Road (which can be hard to find a spot - the road is quite busy), or alternatively Wilson parking or parking near the beach is also an option.
This place is definitely worth your time and money! I'm gonna be returning with friends in the future.
Came here on a Saturday morning and ordered Fiori big breakfast, order arrived shortly and staff were professional But food could be better than I had today
Tucked away in the corner of hurstmere in Takapuna this cafe is definitely underestimated.
We got a voucher of groupon which included x2 breakfast and I brought my own which was $8 for a breakfast valued at $15 and you just pay the difference.
I ordered the baked beans, poached eggs with bacon and hollondaise sauce with a medium flat white.
I can't fault this dish, it was filling had so much flavor and all the components blended together beautifully!
They other two dishes were rated as:
Pancakes 3/5
Salmon omelette 3.5/5
Two things I really loved was the fresh lemon served in the water jar and also he equal sugar. The staff were friendly, attentive, bubbly and welcoming. I love the location and atmosphere I will definitely be back

We got a voucher from Groupon so expectations were not high to begin with but let me say, we were impressed. Service was friendly, food is good and generous. We ordered the big brekkie, burger and mince on toast. Cant finish the whole thing. We were sitting outside with our dogs on a sunny day so that was quite nice.
Basically if you went off the tourist track in France this is what you will get not some NZ (customer friendly)version of a 'French Cafe' so if you want to experience a realistic European vibe right down to the attitude and the locals smoking at the entrance (get over that and you will be rewarded) this is your cafe, on their day the food is exquisite , take a peek in the kitchen to get some tips. There is (French ?)beer on tap which is unique for a cafe but it went down well with the meal be loud and enjoy life 😀minus 1 for the smokers but I got over it
Great cozy cafe. We called prior to our visit and spoke to Kim and she was very helpful in her foreign accent. We had a voucher for 4 but were only 3 and asked Kim in the cafe if we could get coffee instead of a 4th meal? The Manageress was helpful and said yes. Great coffee staff from various foreign countries was on top of their game giving great flavor to the cafe!!
Great food, and hot drinks at good temperature!! Will surely be back, well done, awesome service Kim and French waiter too.
My husband and I LOVE this Cafe. It's unassuming and every time the food is AMAZING the flavours are always perfect. They have a big menu with lots of choice - one of my favorites is the haloumi and white wine mushrooms on Ciabata, and they are licensed, so a glass of bubbles with breakfast or lunch is totally possible and encouraged.
We had a lunch there today the food was perfect! I had the mushrooms in white wine sauce, and hubby had the Fiori all day breakfast. And the staff were lovely. Highly recommended.
Had their fiori mushrooms and it was good. Mix of mushrooms, poached egg, chorizo, toast with some nice parmesan cheese.

Service was quick and the food was great. They also had a high chair that was secure - lunch is so much more enjoyable without an escaping baby. :)
Nice food at reasonable prices. Very attentive staff. Enjoyed the complimentary water which had lemon, mint and cinnamon in it.
Love the chef special cumin feta potato cake with bacon, our food came pretty fast and we enjoyed talking with their friendly waitress, will recomment to our friends and come back.
