I'm in love. The team at The Strand Cafe have evolved the previous permutations of the cafe in the…read moreSaatchi & Saatchi building and presented a modern, bright, welcoming space, in what previously felt like sitting in a shed, and paired it with some of the best cafe food and coffee in Parnell, if not Auckland. Right now I am drinking a spectacularly delicious latte (ok, maybe I just needed a caffeine hit, but it's still good!) and eating chia pudding for my breakfast. Who wouldn't!? Even early in the morning there is a display of breakfast baps, fresh pressed juices, tortilla wraps (scrambled egg and chorizo this morning), and a 'superfood' pudding - chia or sticky rice today - ready to take away. They also have a made-to-order breakfast and lunch menu. Although I haven't had a chance to try it yet, I have no doubt it would be equally delicious. If you peek in to the kitchen you'll see the team working busily preparing food for the day, but it's also spotless. But back to my love declaration. It's the coffee. The barista makes the best coffee in Auckland. Hands down. She's quick, friendly and welcomes you with a smile, even if she's serving someone else. Win.

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

Is it possible to give this place 10 stars?…read more If you are EVER in New Zealand, you better come here right when you get off the plane! Amano absolutely blew us away. We started with the pappardelle with lamb ragù, and WOW. The pasta was made fresh in-house and was cooked perfectly al dente. The lamb ragù was rich, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the pasta. Every bite was incredible. We also had the burrata salad with beetroot, orange, and hazelnut, which was such a great combination of flavors and textures. Fresh, creamy, sweet, and crunchy all in one dish. And of course, we had to pair dinner with a Prophet's Rock Pinot Noir. Since we love Pinot Noir, this was the perfect pairing for the meal. Amano absolutely lived up to the hype. From the food to the overall experience, this was easily one of the highlights of our time in Auckland. 10 stars if Yelp would let me! If you're in Auckland, DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE.

We had reservations and got a lovely table near those windows. They recommended sharing plates so we had the pappardelle which comes with a lamb ragu, the monk fish, and the cauliflower side. The main courses were excellent. The ragu was a nice comfort food with a rich taste over homemade noodles. The monk fish was light and tropical with a fennel and fruit side. These two dishes were nice compliments of each other. The cauliflower wasn't my fav but it was more of a personal taste so don't keep me from having you try it. I chose a local wine which was delicious. Love trying local wine when possible. We walked from our hotel so no parking worries. Service was excellent. Our server walked us through several of her and of patrons favorite options. Great stop.

The place is very aesthetically pleasing with lots of light coming in through the floor to ceiling windows all around. The menu isn't long but still has enough variance to please everyone. We had a full brunch feast with two savory plates and a sweet one. The pork belly benedict had the eggs made to perfection and the pork belly was perfectly juicy without feeling like it was all fat. The french toast was super tasty and not overwhelmingly sweet, of course the variety of colors made it such a fun plate. The bowl had the most amazing mushrooms I've ever had along with the freshest vegetables! I dream of the day I'll be able to go back and eat here.

We were in and out of there is about 40 minutes. The service was fast, which is understandable given the amount of people they must get through every morning. Coffee, pastry, breakfast, everything was on point. Food was very instagram-able but tasted like what you'd expect. Standard fair, in a good way. I.e A lot of flowers for garnish, but its an omelette and tasted like a normal omelette. If I had any feedback it would be to pull back on the garnishes and focus on things that add flavor, it'll look just as tasty with a more rustic no fuss aesthetic. Suitable for a brisk sit down brunch. It was so loud and busy in there that you wouldn't want to stay hangout anyway.

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.

As you can see with the photos, Dirty Laundry does not follow its namesake; it has a clean, crisp and hip interior and a pretty nice patio area. We had an awesome waitress that was more than obliging when we asked to charge our phones and requested a wifi code. We decided to go with the Smashed Avo. Stellar choice; eggs were cooked perfectly, chilli oil and hummus were both a nice and subtle touch. We also had the breakfast tacos. The salsa that was on the side was so tasty; we were bummed when it was all gone! For drinks, we had an espresso and mimosa and there were no complaints there. Both drinks were fresh. We got away from Dirty Laundry with 3 entrees, an espresso and mimosa for close to $40 USD. Not too shabby! Please, if you are on a cruise stop and don't want to travel far from the pier, check this place out. Overall: 5 Venue: 5 Service: 5 Food: 5 Drinks: 5 Price: $$
