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!

Simple cafe with plenty of breakfast and lunch options located near Auckland airport and the…read moreindustrial area. We stopped in following an overnight motel stay nearby to grab coffee and a breakfasty meal. Breakfast was good and sizeable - they have a number of cooked options, or you can pick up something quick from the warmers. I chose the mushroom breakfast and was rewarded with a heaping of mushrooms with egg, bacon and toast. The coffee was rather good also, and a lot better than I had expected. Flat white with good strength and body. The cooked breakfasts are around $10-13 so a pretty good deal. Plenty of tables and chairs both inside and out, free newspapers, and fast free wifi (just ask at the counter for the code). A good option if you are after a quick meal.

Not particularly good baking, tasted like outta a premix scones. Portion sizes slightly small..... Food's ok. Not bad. Attitude and vibe quiet not buzzy or friendly... We're happy they were open for us after our long transpacific flight. 3.0 rating based on the fact that it was edible and didn't break the bank. Not a 'destination.'

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.
