I was in Auckland for a day/night and found out about Mojo from all of you lovely Yelpers out there…read more:) We stayed the night in the Skycity Grand and walked over to Mojo from there. It was a few blocks away, and some hills worthy of mentioning (especially when you're pushing a 40-pound, 4-year-old uphill in a stroller), but anyway.... IT WAS SO WORTH IT! Wow, yum. I've had a lot of muesli since moving to New Zealand (it must be on every breakfast menu) and this one eeked it's way into first place. Really, it was right there at the top (see my picture). The coffees were awesome, though I don't prefer hot drinks to be served in glasses ('cuz they get too hot to hold) but I would have happily endured a few minor finger burns to gulp down that caffienated goodness. The only minor issue here was the seating (for us, with 2 kiddos). It's a lovely, long table through the center of the room (the decor is light and beautiful) but it's slightly socially awkward when everyone else is sitting at the far other end of the table (presumably, to avoid the kiddos). That said, however, one of the chefs was super nice to us, brought us lots of extra napkins (pre-emptively) and played peek-a-book with my 1-year-old while we ate and kept him occupied in the stroller. A high chair at the end of that beautiful table would surely have ruined the scene (but would have been helpful). In spite of these little things, our overall experience was excellent. Even my husband said so, and that's saying something :) We will happily come back here every time we are in the area.

Heads up coffee/food lovers... there's a new Mojo in town! From their popular Vulcan Lane store, to…read moretheir large cafe in Newmarket and now one has just opened on Durham Street! Located just up from Glassons and right next to Renkon, this new cafe is easy to spot - you won't miss the bright blue building and outdoor seating. Inside, the decor is light, bright and you can either sit at the very long table in the middle or at the window bar, which would be great for people-watching! Now, onto the food! Couldn't believe how many options there were! From their breakfast and lunch meals (they cook everything fresh to order), to sweet treats from Amandine, raw cheesecakes from The Raw Kitchen, plus amazing paninis (I like the prosciutto one), sandwiches and muffins etc. And we can't forget the coffee! I have to be honest, I didn't actually try one...instead I saw Kombucha (organic probiotic tea) on the menu and had never tried it so I finally did! But if their coffee is as good as their Vulcan Lane store, then I'm sold! Strong, extra hot coffee, just how I like it! If you're not a coffee lover, they also serve an array of drinks, such as sodas, kombucha (as mentioned above), juices, smoothies (I've got my eye on the cacao one) and Hopt soda! So excited to see a cafe in the CBD selling Hopt - made my day! Overall, had a great time at the new Mojo - now just gotta eat and drink my way through the whole menu!

It was rainy, we were cranky....and we wanted to have a good day....and thus here we were. Americano and tea. Americano served with water to dilute to my liking (a win). Tea served in a personal press (double win!). My buddy got French toast and I got the smashed pea on multigrain (with mint, Parmesan, watercress) with smoked salmon. All of it was scrumptious. The staff were friendly and the service was fast to boot (not a common occurrence in New Zealand). I would definitely come back and, in case you were wondering, it turned out to be a Good day!

Just outside of Albert Park in CBD on a side street was this brunch bistro. The staff was immediately hospitable and was happy to help you. I ordered a mushroom omelette and iced Americano. After paying I sat down in a little reading nook, decorated with a couch, coffee table and BOOKS! How awesome! My coffee came out right away so I was able to enjoy it a bit before my meal came. My omelette came out on a skillet and was absolutely delicious. The vibe in this cafe was relaxed and welcoming - I could've stayed for hours! But I had errands to run, so alas I left. This will definitely be on my brunch to dos next time I'm in Auckland!

There were empty tables, at least half a dozen, and I was on the brink of asking when the man who watered us said "hey, wanna move to a better table"? OH THANK GOODNESS. After that, he made us feel looked after and treated us really well. We think there was some weirdness with the young woman as she tried to muscle another couple trying to get sat. Anyways, moving on! I ordered the Turkish Cilbir Eggs and my partner ordered Eggs Benedict with bacon. For coffee, we ordered an Americano and a flat white. Everything was delicious. Vulcan Lane was quiet, but this is mid-January so we expected everything to be quiet. The great waiter and great food ended our experience on a high note.

Best brekkie I have had in Auckland for a while…read more The food was great (the big breakfast and pancakes were both top notch). There is a good variety on the menu, ranging from your standard breakfast items to salads and cabinet food. The staff were really friendly and I was pleasantly surprised to be offered a bottle of cool water with glasses (I find nowadays you have to ask for water, or get it yourself). The coffee was delicious and came with a jaffa and a sweet tourist spoon. Parking was really easy and free on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely coming back here soon!

We prefer this coffee spot over the other large competitors now - go the underdog! Def worth a visit if you are cruising the Three Lamps end of Jervois

Anyway, this week I set out to rectify my ignorance by visiting twice, first with my Yelp amigo, Kathy L and then again the following day. The café is in a pretty unexpected place, right next to the North Shore Events Centre. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell of freshly roasted beans. I've said it once and I'll say it again - cafés that roast their own beans make consistently good coffee. I mean, that's just my experience but I reckon 99% of the time it holds true. The Coffee Lab is no exception. Here you get to choose your own beans from their three grinders. We took the advice of the barista and went Sumatran, who told us "it had a hint of vanilla and is good served black." Perfect. Could my unrefined coffee palate taste the hint of vanilla, no, but was the coffee strong and silky smooth - yes. In fact, it was so delicious that I ordered the same thing the next day. I am yet to try their food but the slices look off the chain - just like nana used to make them! No doubt, I'll be back soon.
