    Cab bagel
    Melissa F.

    Brilliant service, fare & coffee with a smile. Majority of the menu is bagels & a couple of omelettes... there is seating inside (tables for 1 or 2 people) & out (picnic bench table/s). I really like the intimacy of this cafe, you can see everything happen in front of you, as the kitchen is a stones throw away from the interior seating. Service is quick & they fill up your water glasses without prompting - fabulous! Breakfast or lunch starts from $5 - $15 so rather reasonable. Consistently good each time I visit - Yelp out!

    This place is amazing! Really cool fitout of a tiny space but they've really made the most of it, and if you cant nab a table get takeaway as these bagels are delicious! Great menu, I don't think you could order badly, and if your stumped go for the sampler - 3 little bagels, and you can choose which ones. Good coffee and delicious smoothies, you have to try this place!

    Yum yum yum! Even though this place is relatively new it is certainly popular, only a small amount of seating inside and some bench tables outside well worth the wait though! Just really good kiwi style bagels, all the fillings sound delish, we ordered the BLAT, Salmon, Veg and an eggs ben and all were scrummy! The salmon was my fav and the veg (anything with halomui in I love though) Great coffee and friendly staff, perfect place if you want a light breakfast!

    Veggies omlette, with a toasted sesame bagles on the side.

    A great little cafe nestled on the shore in front of the yachts at Westhaven Marina, I've always…read morebeen a fan of Bill Fish. I'm down there at least once a week with my dragonboat team training, and am always greeted with a smile when I grab my (excellent) coffee. The food is pretty awesome too, fresh fresh fish and a great breakfast menu to enjoy while the sun rises over the gently swaying masts, it's a great place to spend a morning. Nice and quiet too, away from any other bars and restaurants, good little secret here

    I don't know how I ended up dining at this place, and it's not like anything terrible happened, but…read moreI'm unlikely to return. The service is okay, it's not amazing. The location is lovely - looking out over the water at all those boats. Beautiful on a stunning Auckland summer day. ... But the food is just average. I ordered bacon and eggs on ciabatta. And while you can't exactly screw that up, you can make it pretty average - which is exactly what this place did. The bacon was terrible quality, it was covered in fat and it came out looking horrible on the plate, just dumped on the side. My poached eggs hadn't been drained properly and were watery tasting as well, so that made the bread taste awful. The bread wasn't well toasted, it was somewhere in between... I just don't get it. I could have got better at home, and I wouldn't have paid $18 for it. The muesli that my friends ordered was bland and didn't come with any yoghurt, so it looked dry as anything. Coffee was average, it wasn't disgusting but it wasn't great. It's just... pretty average. It seem clearly to me that this is a place that relies solely on its location.

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!

I love that they offered both still water or sparkling for the table. I ordered the salmon benedict and it was delicious! Their menu offers gluten free as well as dairy free options. Vegetarian or vegan? They have options for you too. I ordered an Americano and it was full bodied and came in a large mug. I only wish we'd had more time in Auckland so I could come here again.

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.

We had no idea that the request would be so difficult to fill, but were quite impressed with the lengths she took to make our meal enjoyable. The rest of our meal was delicious food & great service. I read the previous reviews. I would recommend that give this place another chance.
