The best place to get coffee in the shorthand st / fort st area…read more Ryan and the team are always on fire, and the experience for most people working along shortland st serves as the highlight of the very busy and important day. These guys are specialise in serving high strength milk fixes like the short poor flat white, hard man, real man etc etc. Not to be forgotten is the cabinet which sits looker's right of Katie. Particular attention should be paid to anything with chorizo or lamb in it. A true institution.

Thanks yelp for introducing us to such a cute cafe!…read more Cute decor and spacious cafe with both outdoor and indoor seating. My boyfriend and I had the CLT sandwich and chicken stack. Both were good but the stacked chicken was delicious! It was crispy and juicy and came out piping hot. I also had the peanut butter banana smoothie and it was so refreshing. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Free WiFi as well. Highly recommend!

Super cute little cafe in the heart of Auckland, very close to the sky tower. I was looking for a…read morecafe to have some breakfast at and get some work done. I stumbled upon Federal & Wolfe and they had a great menu, and I decided to go with their Dukkah Eggs which is a fan favourite! Included poached eggs, dukkah, free range bacon, rocket, a balsamic reduction and on a bed of sourdough toast! Accompanied by one of their fresh pressed juices called "the zinger" which had apple, pear, ginger and lemon. It was so refreshing and the colour was a pretty lime green. And their strong latte's we're creamy and rich! Deffo recommend this place for a breakfast or coffee date!

First meal in Auckland! We were looking for places walking distance from our hotel. Came across…read moreFederal and Wolfe on our handy dandy Yelp app. I love how easy it is to find places here. You can find this delicious breakfast café on the corner of Federal Street and Wolfe street, just like the name! They have a variety of items on their menu. You order at the counter and then can grab a table. The Grub = Dukkah Eggs $19.50. This dish comes with sourdough toast loaded with bacon, poached egg, feta and dekkah spices. This was so delicious and so filling. I highly recommend ordering this item.

Located right in the centre of Mt Eden Village, Chapter is a cool little bookstore and tea shop…read morethat is hugely popular among locals. If you're a tea lover like myself, then this is the place for you! English breakfast, Earl Grey, Vanilla Rooibus, a wide range of fruit teas, flower blends and foreign teas - there is seriously every kind of tea you can imagine in this store! Not only can you buy the teas in Chapter, you can also purchase a pot of tea while you have a quiet read or study up on your uni notes. Tea pots and other such tea accessories are also readily available and are all super cute and colourful. Chapter is a great place to find a novel gift - perfect for your nana, aunt, mum or bestie - and better yet, if you gift some of their scrummy tea to someone close to you, you can drink it too! Yesssss. Chapter also stock a hoard of novels - romance novels in particular - so not only can you enjoy a hot cuppa, but you can buy a deliciously sappy tear jerking Nick Sparks page turner at the same time. The staff at Chapter are brilliantly friendly and the owner of the store knows everything there is to know about romance novels, and can easily steer you in the right direction. Tip: Just because it specialises in tea doesn't mean you can't purchase other hot drinks from Chapter. Coffee, hot chocolates, Chai tea, cakes and other sweet treats are also available.

I first stepped through Chapter's door about two years back when the weather was really bad and I…read morehad a 30 wait for the bus, it seemed like a good time to try it out. I think I was the youngest in there by 30 years that day but tea is not just for old people. I also didn't let the romance novels put me off, I had my own reading material anyway. Chapter is little but the shelves are crammed with an incredible range of teas, I had mango paradise, often I go for Granny's Garden, I like the fruity ones. Down the back of the store is all the tea paraphernalia, if you're serious about your tea drinking and want all the right tea gear, you'll find it here. A nice little shop/cafe and the lady who owns it is really nice, Chapter is a pleasurable place to sit over a pot of tea and the black board outside often has funny tea related quotes which is a nice touch.

Coffee was great!…read more Walked in and a girl was working the counter/machine. She was chatting with another girl. I thought she could've acknowledged me more/better but not a biggie. Coffee is no longer "pay as you see fit", it is a set price. No biggie either but just wanted to let you all know. I would go again - good coffee, good prices!

We tried out several…read morecoffee shops throughout the trip and this is the only one we visited twice; that being said, we loved it! From the quality of the coffee beans (I brought a bag to take home it was so good :)), to the spectacular customer service (the mate who assisted us both times was extremely helpful, interactive, and made us feel so welcome even though we'd only just met) to the fantastic choice of sweets. All in all, if I called Auckland home this would definitely be my go-to coffee shop. Cheers!

Please don't judge me for this review. My significant other is mad on Warhammer (for those of you…read morenot in the know this is a sorta strategic war game using models as board pieces). I for one had never heard of it until we started dating but as they say there is a niche for everything, and Games Workshop caters for one of these. The store itself purveys wares related to games, collectibles and models with a special focus on Warhammer 40 K. The guys who work here at super knowledgeable, friendly and always trying to get you involved in store events (I prefer to be a silent supporter who is 'allowed' to help paint the models every once in a while) What's cool about this place is how it functions as a social club, there are tutorials and workshops held often and people are encouraged to meet up with their mates and challenge each other on the terrain which is available in-store. Perhaps my favourite thing about Games Workshop though is that it's right next door to some of my favourite shops on queen street, so it is more than easy to do the whole extraction mission without my partner even noticing I have gone.
