The food is fantastic, and being able to eat outside without having our meal ruined by smokers was an extra benefit. Very friendly people and the most AMAZING hot chocolate I have ever had!
Great place to eat and staff are not rude at all, they are sometimes run off their feet but are always cordial. They may not always give a big, false smile when serving you, but they do work hard and help any customer when asked. The food is fantastic.
It has been our delight to lunch daily at Bar Italia over the past couple of years and their "food" experience never fails to deliver. It delivers on all levels - ambience; food taste and presentation; and excellent service. Extensive selection of salads, full meals, and sweet delights. Coffee is grunty, hot and delicious. Feeding the public always requires a level of passion ; some cafes reach that level - others never do. Steve, Clare and their staff have always, in all the time we have been eating there, exceeded that level.
And no.....we don't have a financial interest in Bar Italia. Just extremely happy clientelle !
Great atmosphere and decor. Very good service and friendly staff. We had a large group and all food came out at relatively the same time and was delicious! Wish I had discovered this place sooner!
Nice cafe with affordable price in comparison with any other cafe in Takapuna.
Food is delicious, many options for sweet treat, and salad as well...
Friendly owner,, so kind...
Cheers..
Had an afternoon coffee with food.
Coffee was great, food ok, service good.
Parking is limited.
Inexpensive prices compared to other cafes, but good food, coffee and attentive service. We enjoyed the coffee art design on our coffees, a nice touch you don't often see. Recommended.
A nice simple cafe just opposite North Shore hospital. Easy to access from Smales Farm bus station. The big breakfast (as per the pictures below) was pretty worth it for 18 bucks but just to be aware that the kitchen stops cooking at 2pm.
Good coffee, nice service and conveniently located when visiting the specialists.
Best eggs Benedict I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked salmon and eggs with tasky smashed potatoes.
lovely foods thanks to the staff that work here. 🍴lovely cafe.
Great service and reasonably cheap and decent food comparing to other cafes in the area. Loved the coffee and big breakfast
Great, quick service. Small variety but for a cafe just fine and the food tastes great. I recommend their wedges and their beef noodle salad
