I ordered a sourdough toast, two fried eggs, and smoked salmon on the side. The eggs were high quality with a rich yolk. The toast was lightly crunchy on the crust and fluffy in the middle. The savory salmon made the eggs even much more enjoyable paired nicely with a flat white. Despite the busyness, all the staff worked efficiently serving all the customers in a timely manner. I enjoyed my quick fuel stop after the gym and will be back again.

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.

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.

As a massive nerd, I have to say, I'm so happy this place exists…read more Cakes and Ladders is, as far as I know, Auckland's only board game cafe. They have an impressive stock of board and card games--for adults and for families--the nicest, friendliest staff you could ask for, and a comfy interior setup for your hours of board gaming pleasure. The coffee is pretty decent as well, although none of my friends nor I have tried the food menu just yet. Here's how it works: you walk in, you pick a table, and the staff start your timer. Then you can either pick a game or have one recommended to you based on pretty much whatever criteria you want, and if it's a new game to you, the (again, wonderfully friendly) staff explain the rules and setup to you. Then you play--for hours, if you want. At $2.50 an hour, it's a steal. (Also, they're currently awaiting their liquor license, so although there's no alcohol there yet, just you wait. Craft beers are on their way!) They close at 10pm, I believe, at least on the weekends, but once the booze arrives, I'm hoping they stay open a wee bit later. I'm definitely going back, often.

This place is awesome!!! Came with my husband and had a great time. They have so many games!!!…read morePerfect for groups and for just 2 people. They have a specific shelf full of games that require only 2 players. A great way to spend an afternoon or evening. Can get noisey but adds to the fun.

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!

All in all, if I called Auckland home this would definitely be my go-to coffee shop. Cheers!

Want to know what else is pretty cool? I figured out that if you buy a coffee from a roastery your chances of it being bloody great increase exponentially. Well, at least that's what I've found and Eightthirty is no exception. They seem to hit the nail on the head every time. Rich, perfectly extracted espresso and velvety smooth milk. I only wished I lived closer! If you like coffee, you need to get here ASAP!
