It started out weird. A young dark-haired woman sat us in the tightest corner, interior table. It…read morewas very uncomfortable. There were empty tables, at least half a dozen, and I was on the brink of asking when the man who watered us said "hey, wanna move to a better table"? OH THANK GOODNESS. After that, he made us feel looked after and treated us really well. We think there was some weirdness with the young woman as she tried to muscle another couple trying to get sat. Anyways, moving on! I ordered the Turkish Cilbir Eggs and my partner ordered Eggs Benedict with bacon. For coffee, we ordered an Americano and a flat white. Everything was delicious. Vulcan Lane was quiet, but this is mid-January so we expected everything to be quiet. The great waiter and great food ended our experience on a high note.

I came here because there was a same name cafe in my university, so for me, 1920 means something…read more This new 1920 I found which runs by a couple, and it's totally home making style things. I had the cheif's special, spicy chicken with fries, which was great, because they really combined multi-taste into one plate! Besides, the service was great, because they could bring u water without asking. I m gonna try the brunch menu next time!

Don't you just LOVE finding the cutest eateries in the most unassuming places?! That's exactly how…read moreI found this little cafe. Just outside of Albert Park in CBD on a side street was this brunch bistro. The staff was immediately hospitable and was happy to help you. I ordered a mushroom omelette and iced Americano. After paying I sat down in a little reading nook, decorated with a couch, coffee table and BOOKS! How awesome! My coffee came out right away so I was able to enjoy it a bit before my meal came. My omelette came out on a skillet and was absolutely delicious. The vibe in this cafe was relaxed and welcoming - I could've stayed for hours! But I had errands to run, so alas I left. This will definitely be on my brunch to dos next time I'm in Auckland!

There are not many occasions that summon me out to the Te Atatu Peninsula. When I get there, I'm…read morealways overwhelmed by the stunning view back towards the City of Sails, the relaxed neighbourhood and the quality of the cafes and restaurants. The Servo Cafe was my first introduction to the beauty of the food of the wild West. When I lived in Waterview, I was proud to call Servo's my local. A couple of minutes along the motorway was a small price to pay for the best brunch in Auckland. I was introduced to it by a vegetarian friend who raved about the breakfasts. With Roasted Addiqtion being her benchmark, this Westie cafe must be pretty sharp! Now it is on my must do list of Auckland - yes, it's THAT good. Housed in an adapted service station on the corner of 2 roads (hence the name), Servo's does cabinet food, licensed drinks, pizza & a great selection of classic brunch & lunch dishes, with a few innovative takes on the average Auckland brunch menu. My ultimate fave; the dish that keeps me coming back for more; my recommendation for those new to Servo's delights - Golden Smoked Kahawai & Herbed Potato Cake w-Servo Hollandaise, Poached Free Range Egg & Spinach. And in my opinion, it's even better with a side of bacon!! My vego mate salivates over the Vegetarian Kiwi Breakfast: Free Range eggs cooked to your liking, Grilled Tomato, Field Mushrooms, Servo Hash Browns, Spinach & Toast. Yumarama! The meat lover's version of this also lives up to it's reputation. Servo's hash browns are a legend unto themselves: golden, deep-fried spoonfuls of homemade goodness. No McCain's frozen rubbish here thank you very much. To be honest, this place is so good, I've been here enough times to sample almost the entire menu. The pizzas are amazing, the Portobello Mushroom breakfast served on Brioche will blow your mind, and Eggs Benedict connoisseurs I've taken here have drooled at the mouth. And the corn fritters are pretty damn good too. If brunch doesn't grab you - as I said, the pizzas are great, and the Caesar Salad & Calamari Salad would rival some of Auckland's fine dining establishments.

Second time here, and both times awesome service and food, atmosphere!!…read moreCakes are made on site, absolutely delicious but I don't mind a bit more cream. See you again

Little Nuffield is little as it's name suggests but I rate the coffee big! The beans are Allpress…read moreand although not the only peddler of Allpress coffee on Nuffield Street sometimes it is a bit quicker if you just want a take out coffee because the coffee machine is literally on the footpath and the wait time isn't long. There is a small range of cabinet food available and they stock the Phoenix drink range too. For some reason I like drinking cola with my short blacks and the organic honey nut cola pairs nicely with espresso. If you do want to sit there are three bar stools, maybe four and there is a table outside under a tree with an umbrella so you don't get pooped on by all the birds that live in that tree. Nice little cafe is Little Nuffield.

Shortland St Café is located near the top of the hill and seems to be a flytrap for corporates. I…read morecame here based on a recommendation from Vanessa M to try their cronuts. The recco was for the raspberry ones but I couldn't go past chocolate and hazelnut! It was every bit delicious, sickening but totally worth it. Whilst, I was there I also got a salad to-go and I've got to admit, I was a bit taken back when they told me it would cost $1 extra to get a mix of two of the pre-made salads. As for the salad itself it lacked seasoning, the coleslaw was clumsily cut and the dressing too acidic. I would return for a sweet treat and a coffee but with so many fantastic lunch spots in the area probably not for lunch.

I agree with Leilei's comment, funny that they serve coffee last, but I guess thats how you…read morenormally do at home? cup of tea/coffee at the end of a meal? I came into this place as part of my ongoing quest for a place to study and use free Wifi. I was initially planning to go to Atomic coffee across the road but they didn't know their password! Environment- typical cafe, hip. lots of seating, a variety of large and small tables as well as taller bench top. Gets pretty busy around lunch time, a little noisy but then quietened down afterwards. Coffee- they get it form an organic farmer somewhere, and roast themselves. Got a flat white, was pretty smooth, a little burnt though. Food- decent selection of deli type food as well as cooked stuff. Typical for all the cafes. do catering as well. Service- friendly staff, helpful, Others- free Wifi, fast. Cons- no power outlet? I guess bringing your laptop and camp at the corner of a cafe all day is not as popular in NZ? overall, I thought was not bad, I managed to get quite a bit of work done today!

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!

Cute little place and good coffee, but the service was off and the food was just mediocre…read more For starters, the eggs were overdone for their requested temp (over easy was done like over medium and over medium was done like over hard), the smoothie was pulpy, and the french toast was just alright. The toast was a little overcooked too but it didnt ruin the flavor The service wasny terrible but at some points it felt like it was servers first day on earth. When they brought out my latte, i asked if it was the hazelnut latte (as that was what i ordered) just to verify because she only said it was a latte. She acted really confused then said that she didnt know. Later when bringing out the eggs, as they were auctioning off the two egg dishes and we all pointed to the one at our table who ordered it and all said it was his, and they acted really confused until we repeated ourselves like 3 times. At one point someone at out table asked for raw sugar for their coffee (once again the server acting confused until we repeated ourselves a bunch) and brought out brown sugar instead. Its weird because it was not that loud in there to where they wouldnt be able to hear us Overall it was alright. Id go back got coffee and thats about it
