"The Walnut tart was delicious. The Vienna coffee was nice, even if the coffee beans were a little on the toasty side. Very friendly staff here are a highlight. They have created a cafe with a positive neighbourhood vibe. Thank you Sierra."

"I've been coming here for breakfast since my first time in Auckland (back in 2016). I travel from U.S. to N.Z. about 4 or 5 times a year for work. I love this little "hole in the wall". Traditional English breakfast and delicious coffee. It's one block from beautiful Albert Park."

"Really nice family run place. They were really helpful in getting me a cable so I could charge my phone and the coffee (cappuccino) I got was so delicious, I had two. I didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food, so this 5/5 is for their customer service and the coffee!! Love a family owned business and they were very friendly."

"Lovely Chai latte, can definitely tell that they use real ingredients for their food and drink. Service was lovely and it seems to be a family run joint. If you sit outside it’s a perfect place to enjoy the sunshine and people watching. Inside seating had nice vibes as well, quiet and not crowded on a Saturday morning. If I had time I would definitely come back to try their food which looked and smelled delicious."

"Nice location, just off Queen St and in the middle of the city. Very convenient if you are on foot, not convenient if you are driving. It was quite busy, so the staff were friendly but efficient. The coffee was good and the coconut muffin tasted great. It lacked the ultra-cool vibe of other inner city cafes."
