Great parking at the back of the building which is an old bungalow house converted into a cafe, of the same name! Clean and stylishly decorated inside and out, the outdoor patio/deck is perfect for a sunny warm day eating our meals. I ordered mince on toast off the menu at the counter, and was visually tempted by lovely sweet eats at the counter display- such as chocolate brownies and fruity muffins. I have to say the views out the back are lovely, looking back towards Auckland the City of Sails, and if you love a nice strong cup of smooth coffee you are sitting in the right cafe. A perfect spot to meet friends for a catch up also and they are child and baby friendly which is a plus. Delightful and Airy and sunny just a great cafe.

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.

The cafe was really immaculate and neat and with lots of sunshine streaming in, just the perfect place to spend the afternoon gazing out on the busy Rawene street in Birkenhead.

The lady who makes the food also takes a real pride in her food, she uses different shapped bread or cuts the bread in different ways and arranges it nicely on the plate.

This little 'brunchery/delicatessen is perhaps the cutest thing ever, which is all well and good but it actually sells amazing food as well.

As I was in a rush when I went in there to grab a bit to eat, I had to order takeaway but had my heart set on the muesli option. One of the male sales assistants was so helpful, he said it was absolutely no problem, got my muesli set up in a takeaway cup for me and even took $5 off the price. I saw a bowl of this go out instore and it looked pretty much the same size to me anyway! Think I got a bargain. The service was outstanding. All smiles. The cabinet was fully stocked and looked extremely inviting, they even sell my all time favourite salmon pâté, from The SmokeHouse in Mapua, what are the chances!

There was a bit of confusion that kind of spoiled our experience as we also ordered the passion fruit and peach chocolate bon bon and was only told after the dish arrived that the passion fruit and peach were only available as shards, which was eight dollars more. We would have appreciated the waitress explaining that some of the chocolates came as shards and the others as bon bons, so we felt like we were tricked into ordering something. The cookie dough macaron was good but didn't remind us of cookie dough, more of a chocolate macaron. We left wanting a lot more from our experience chocolate- and pastry-wise.
