Popped in for a coffee and treat with family yesterday for Matariki. The lady behind the counter was friendly and efficient. Poor thing though one of the stores next door set off a false fire alarm for apparently the third day in a row so we all had to evacuate! She handled it very well though so we didn't mind and once everyone was allowed back inside they got back on top of things quickly. So A+ for their ability to handle unfavourable situations. Coffees and cabinet food were good. Good place to take your family for a coffee.

Popped in for the $10 eggs benedict special (with drink purchase). Gluten free option for the English muffin was awesome for my friend. Great coffee and have alternate milk options of coconut or almond. Fast service and pleasant staff. Love the comfy chairs by the window. The muffins are always fresh and have gluten free and dairy free options available daily.

Very impressed with the excellent service. It shows that immigrants r much more welcoming n show warmth. Quite busy at 11 on sat.
Salted caramel duffin ws tasty n 10$ egg Benedict’s .. unfortunately the salmon (4.5$)was stale. So better avoid.
Overall 3.5 for taste n 4 service

I went there for the first time, with my children, last year and it was OK for me. Some sandwiches came really cold, portions were small so those were a couple of reasons why I didn't come back. But, after a year I decided to give them a second chance, so I went there last week but this time I think it was worse. I felt really disappointed when I order an avocado and chicken sandwich and I got a sandwich with really few peaces of chicken and few slices of avocado. Although I ask the waitress about this and she changed the first sandwich for a second one, it was the same story. So sad... This place looks and feels like a lovely spot to go but unfortunately the most important, food, is not as good as it looks.

One star loss because of bad customer service skill:
To the white young server: You may not happy to your job, you didn’t list what type of egg on your menu, I politely asked you and you was impatient.
Meanwhile your smile is on when white customers coming in.
Another one star loss:
Been in NZ 12years this is the most “Beautiful” flatwhite I ever had, by all mean you may a Pablo Picasso big fans?
Another star loss:
How come you serve the flat white in a mug? I can’t remember perhaps I ordered a coffee soup?
You just simply spoiled my morning.
Conclusion: please avoid this cafe if you’re non white people.
