I love the atmosphere and decor of Cafe Cezanne. With angel-type figures painted on the walls, everything in Cafe Cezanne is multicoloured and vibrant and radiates friendliness. The atmosphere is always very funky yet remains a causal, relaxed place to sit and enjoy a coffee, smoothie or some great food. Their cabinet food always looks fresh and scrummy - I've had one of their chickpea salads and it was delight. Not too much sauce, and plenty of veges tossed through it, it was a great lunch, felt healthy and was very reasonably priced. I've also enjoyed their big breakfasts and smoothies over the years and can say without any hesitation that any meal you choose from cafe Cezanne will fill you with pleasure! Portion sizes are all very generous too, so you always feel like you're getting your money's worth - a huge bonus. The murals, brick counter, wooden furniture, chalk, casually dressed staff and delicious menu mean there really isn't any reason not to stop by Cafe Cezanne next time you're in Three Lamps shopping mall!

This place is funky!

Lovely place, with fantastic staff. I am not a big eater, and was happily accommodated with a single poached egg, toast, bacon and hollandaise to form an Eggs Benedict (The menu has THREE eggs, and a ton of bacon) Really? Who are they feeding? Sumo wrestlers? Very, very good salty bacon, cooked to perfection. Poached egg was soft and dreamy. I ended up mopping it all up with toast, and adding more hollandaise, feeling like a right little miss piggie! It's quirky, kind of God knows what decor. Huge load of amazing looking cakes and slices, and I am betting that they are all made on the premises. Coffee was good, if a tad foamy on the capuchino. Having read Emmanuel B's review, I think that they are well shot of him. If you are going to review, be fair. It has my vote, and we are even likely to go back even though our time here is limited. 10 days is not at all enough time to eat your way around Auckland! Oh, and the mural has a pokemon ball spin thing too, if you are into it.

Cezanne mess

The décor is kitschy but not unpleasant, and there is a large variety of food and cakes to select from. I was kept waiting at the counter without being acknowledged for a few minutes (a pet hate) but other than that the staff were friendly. I ordered the Cezanne Mess as it was different from the standard breakfast fare. Whilst I did enjoy it, I found chunks of avocado there which weren't mentioned on the menu, and the tomatoes were raw. Bread was tasty though. Perhaps I caught them on an off day, I'd definitely say to try them if you want a slightly different cafe experience.

My impression of a diet

This quirky long term resident of Ponsonby Road with it's mural lined wall is rarely empty and open late into the evening. It's rustic and generous mix of breakfast and lunch meals forms an impressionist palate of culinary fare, but features mostly works of the previous century (think french toast , pancakes, Mexican breakfast, eggs Benedict and salads). There is nothing modern or pretentious about Cafe Cezanne. Just honest traditional goodness from the bosom of its caring owners served to a colorful and appreciative crowd. If the fancy pants of Dizengoff are not to your taste, then this may be the place for you.

A great little cafe nestled on the shore in front of the yachts at Westhaven Marina, I've always…read morebeen a fan of Bill Fish. I'm down there at least once a week with my dragonboat team training, and am always greeted with a smile when I grab my (excellent) coffee. The food is pretty awesome too, fresh fresh fish and a great breakfast menu to enjoy while the sun rises over the gently swaying masts, it's a great place to spend a morning. Nice and quiet too, away from any other bars and restaurants, good little secret here

I don't know how I ended up dining at this place, and it's not like anything terrible happened, but…read moreI'm unlikely to return. The service is okay, it's not amazing. The location is lovely - looking out over the water at all those boats. Beautiful on a stunning Auckland summer day. ... But the food is just average. I ordered bacon and eggs on ciabatta. And while you can't exactly screw that up, you can make it pretty average - which is exactly what this place did. The bacon was terrible quality, it was covered in fat and it came out looking horrible on the plate, just dumped on the side. My poached eggs hadn't been drained properly and were watery tasting as well, so that made the bread taste awful. The bread wasn't well toasted, it was somewhere in between... I just don't get it. I could have got better at home, and I wouldn't have paid $18 for it. The muesli that my friends ordered was bland and didn't come with any yoghurt, so it looked dry as anything. Coffee was average, it wasn't disgusting but it wasn't great. It's just... pretty average. It seem clearly to me that this is a place that relies solely on its location.

I was in Auckland on a trip for my friend's wedding. I decided to go out for brunch before a busy…read moreday and Chuffed stood out to me. When I got there, I was seated immediately. The ambiance was vibey and loved that I was sitting outside, but still covered from the sun. The waiters were so nice and were able to answer any questions I had. I ordered an iced hazelnut oatmilk latte and a fried chicken benedict and they were delicious! The latte was the perfect drink to wake me up for a busy day ahead! They definitely do eggs benedict different but it was still so tasty. Instead of the usual english muffin, they used an herb rostis, which is a crispy hash brown round. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The herb rostis was also crispy and paired well with the creamy poached eggs! I miss this meal so much and dreaming of having this again the next time I go back to Auckland!

I love that they offered both still water or sparkling for the table. I ordered the salmon benedict and it was delicious! Their menu offers gluten free as well as dairy free options. Vegetarian or vegan? They have options for you too. I ordered an Americano and it was full bodied and came in a large mug. I only wish we'd had more time in Auckland so I could come here again.

Our server was super sweet and attentive until we placed our orders. We never saw her again, no mention she was leaving for the day (I could see her inside on her cell phone and changed with a backpack). Our food was delivered and the other server didn't seem to notice (or care) that our water glasses were empty, as I found out that she too were on her way out of work. We didn't get water refills until the check came, in which is was a third server and then it took probably 2mins for her to run our card because she was busy setting tables and chatting with coworkers. The food here was amazing and filling- large portions, but the Mac n cheese was disappointing. I would give this 4 stars, but due to the fact that the servers are more interested in going home and chatting with coworkers than taking care of their guests (at one point we were the only table in the whole place and still couldn't get a water refill), this place is getting only 2 stars. It's got potential if it gets new staff.

We had no idea that the request would be so difficult to fill, but were quite impressed with the lengths she took to make our meal enjoyable. The rest of our meal was delicious food & great service. I read the previous reviews. I would recommend that give this place another chance.
