My new favourite local eatery…read more Oozing with charm and tranquility, St Margaret's Cafe is a perfect way to unwind with a stunning garden outlook (I imagine especially so in Spring), warm and inviting service and the food..., the food was just amazing! So good in fact, that I had to have dessert with my breakfast (and I would totally recommend the season fruits with mango sorbet and nut brittle to all).

A friend of mine recommended this place, and since I was on holiday, a drive out to the Karaka…read morecountryside sounded like a nice lunch excursion. And WOW! Am I glad I made the effort! This place is seriously one of Auckland's hidden gems. The name "Country Cafe" does it no favours. We turned up on a stunning spring Friday, and discovered the most gorgeous country garden setting, complete with lake - St Margarets is apparently such a popular wedding venue during the summer months that Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays are mostly fully booked. I can see why. Entranced by the scenery, we sat down & got just as engrossed in the menu! A delicious selection of salads & more substantial main dishes made it really difficult to choose. We opted for the Chargrilled Smoked Chicken & Candied Walnut Salad with potato & bacon & dressed with maple aioli, as well as the Oriental Sticky Slow-Cooked Pork Belly Sandwich with salad & spiced pineapple chutney. I learnt a while ago never to go past pork belly on a menu, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Both meals were stunning - visually gorgeous & utterly delicious. Well worth the drive, and with such picturesque surroundings to walk off your meal, you can bet I'll be making the drive again.

Great coffee, fast and efficient service and very friendly too. What more can you ask for.read more

I love this coffee shop but don't often have the time to stop as I am passing. Roma is one of South…read moreAuckland's hidden gems but word-of-mouth is spreading and people are often queuing out the door for their caffeine hit. Roma are unabashedly a coffee roaster and coffee shop, rather than a café. There are a small selection of cakes & slices and a few tables and chairs but they know their focus. Beans are roasted on site (the operation on full display) and these are then distributed wholesale to other cafes around the area as well as to retail customers at the Drury site. The service at their takeout coffee counter is friendly & prompt; once you've made your way through the line to place your order, your coffee arrives very quickly. The house blend of beans is full-bodied and every coffee double shot unless otherwise requested. Ridiculously cheap compared to some Auckland cafes, it's easy to see why Roma Coffee Roasters is so popular.

It is like having lunch at your cool aunt's place. Homestyle fabulous! Compared to the other options nearby, this sunny little glass front cafe is a little piece of heaven. The ladies who own it are super friendly, and say hello by name whenever I stop by. They do fabulous catering, and their morning tea is to die for (warm just baked cheese scones.... savory tarts with cumin and kumera... excuse me, I'm drooling...) At lunch time they always have an assortment of interesting and healthy salads -- tons of vegetarian options, and you can mix and match as many as you want in a container. One of my favorite options of late is the spicy eggplant. It's half an eggplant that's been roasted, scooped out, mixed up with spices and whatnot, and put back in the skin. I LOVE eggplant, and this is as good as it gets!!! I always find it hard to resist their beautiful cakes. I tend to buy a slice with the idea of bringing it home to share with my husband for dinner, but sometime around my afternoon tea I end up starting to sample it. I've had the carrot cake, which was delicious, and another lemon cake thingy which was also to die for. Check out their Facebook page where they advertise their salads and other goodies for the day! Worth a trip out if you're trekking around Mangere domain, or on your way back from an airport pickup!

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.

There was a lot of fresh salads, sandwiches and pastries choices. I was intrigued to see the full fresh choices of gourmets cakes but not game enough to try them. I went with a pre made chicken, brie cheese and cranberry sandwich on turkish bread which came with small salad. It was more average than anything but very filling and couldn't finish it. Still they obviously make good coffee because it's a hit at breakfast time.

It has a long line of cabinets containing only fresh products of savouries, sweet treats, sandwiches, panini's and muffins.

I would recommend snabbing a bacon and egg muffin, a flat white and a neenish tart for lunch sometime. You wont regret it and it will be around $10 for all of that!
