Cute little place and good coffee, but the service was off and the food was just mediocre…read more For starters, the eggs were overdone for their requested temp (over easy was done like over medium and over medium was done like over hard), the smoothie was pulpy, and the french toast was just alright. The toast was a little overcooked too but it didnt ruin the flavor The service wasny terrible but at some points it felt like it was servers first day on earth. When they brought out my latte, i asked if it was the hazelnut latte (as that was what i ordered) just to verify because she only said it was a latte. She acted really confused then said that she didnt know. Later when bringing out the eggs, as they were auctioning off the two egg dishes and we all pointed to the one at our table who ordered it and all said it was his, and they acted really confused until we repeated ourselves like 3 times. At one point someone at out table asked for raw sugar for their coffee (once again the server acting confused until we repeated ourselves a bunch) and brought out brown sugar instead. Its weird because it was not that loud in there to where they wouldnt be able to hear us Overall it was alright. Id go back got coffee and thats about it

It's right around the corner from the AUT Tower so convenience-wise, it was A+. The chicken rolls here are seriously good and I really like their baked goods as well! I'm a big fan of their caramel slice and still crave it every now and then. They sell a variety of foods so they cater for whatever you're feeling like. Admittedly, I've never had one of their sandwiches. And that was because I was obsessed with their pies (mince and cheese to be precise). I can assure you you probably won't find one better in the CBD, these babies are usually gone by lunchtime, and knowing your luck it'll be the one you were thinking about all morning! But I'd suggest getting one anyway, that pie pastry they make is amazing. Global Sandwich is the best place to spend that extra change and more.

After a…read morecertain time, the sandwiches and rolls at Global Sandwich go on sale, half price for the items that are displayed at the entrance. For me this is heaven, nothing satisfies a student more than cheap food! I saw the sign as I was about to head into Imax food court but I ran across the road to Global Sandwich. I bought a smoked chicken sandwich on five grain bread and a banana muffin. This cost me $3.70! If you don't believe me head down there yourself. Apart from the cheap price it's nice to know that they are some honest people in this world who don't recycle their food stock.

Flavour makes some awesome pitas…read more Situated on Vulcan Lane, it is a popular place for city goers, university students or people wanting something cheap, fast and tasty. And I can definitely see why. The ordering process is simple and efficient, the staff are friendly, the majority of the pitas are under $10 and the choices are endless. They also have a 'flavour of the day' (regular size for $6), which is fast becoming a popular lunch for me. Their falafel on Wednesdays and roast beef on Fridays are my favourite. But if you are looking for something more exciting, order the Tandoori chicken, and don't forget to add the mango chutney - seriously good! They have little to no seating, so best to take your pita outside - luckily Freyburg Square is just around the corner, so you can enjoy it in the sun!

Basically it's Pita Pit with a different name. In fact, this very shop was a Pita Pit until a…read morecouple of years back and it's gone through a couple of names before becoming 'Flavour'. Oddly through all the name changes it's never strayed away from pitas - it's like they just change the sign on the outside but everything inside stays exactly the same. Anyway, any prior impression of Pita Pit you can basically apply to this place - it's cheap, you can choose what you like, and it's plenty of kai for the coin. Have never had any issue with ingredients, but maybe my expectations were low?! Anyway, good place to come if you can't spare more than say $10 on lunch.

Is it possible to give this place 10 stars?…read more If you are EVER in New Zealand, you better come here right when you get off the plane! Amano absolutely blew us away. We started with the pappardelle with lamb ragù, and WOW. The pasta was made fresh in-house and was cooked perfectly al dente. The lamb ragù was rich, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the pasta. Every bite was incredible. We also had the burrata salad with beetroot, orange, and hazelnut, which was such a great combination of flavors and textures. Fresh, creamy, sweet, and crunchy all in one dish. And of course, we had to pair dinner with a Prophet's Rock Pinot Noir. Since we love Pinot Noir, this was the perfect pairing for the meal. Amano absolutely lived up to the hype. From the food to the overall experience, this was easily one of the highlights of our time in Auckland. 10 stars if Yelp would let me! If you're in Auckland, DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE.

We had reservations and got a lovely table near those windows. They recommended sharing plates so we had the pappardelle which comes with a lamb ragu, the monk fish, and the cauliflower side. The main courses were excellent. The ragu was a nice comfort food with a rich taste over homemade noodles. The monk fish was light and tropical with a fennel and fruit side. These two dishes were nice compliments of each other. The cauliflower wasn't my fav but it was more of a personal taste so don't keep me from having you try it. I chose a local wine which was delicious. Love trying local wine when possible. We walked from our hotel so no parking worries. Service was excellent. Our server walked us through several of her and of patrons favorite options. Great stop.

It was open at the time I was in the area and it did look inviting. I perused the menu and decided to give it a try. Walking in I saw the old-fashioned furnishings, metal chairs, display cases, wall shelves, big bar in the middle all in a long and narrow room. Yessss, this looks lie something out of the 50s and I like it. After a long hard look at the menu I opted for the Salami platter... Strangely enough there wasn't salami, but more like a smoked ham, prosciutto like meat. It tasted great, so what's in a name. Delicious heirloom tomatoes, capers, salami impersonator, cream cheese, capers, pickles and your choice of bread. I had chosen crumpets and regretted that . Not because they weren't delicious, because they were so yummy, but they were also so buttery that I couldn't get the cream cheese to stick and everything I tried to put on the crumpet just slid right off them. I got the bottomless cup of coffee and I must say, this is really good coffee and the refills kept coming also. I love the atmosphere in here and there are so many great choices on the menu. If I ever come back tot Auckland, I will definitely stop by this place again.

There was plenty of food for each order. My wife had a street dog and fries and I had a Ruben. They were pretty decent. I wasn't as happy with the fries. They were like the bottom of a pile and mostly little pieces with very few full length slices. Prices were extremely reasonable. I would definitely eat there again.

Shaky Isles is probably 1 of the more recommended places we heard about it in Auckland, and after…read moreeating breakfast there, we could see why it's so popular. The interior has a modern warehouse vibe with cool bits of artwork and greenery spread throughout. As normal for Auckland, you order/pay at the counter whenever you're ready, and your food/drinks are brought to your table. Water and utensils are help yourself as well. Between the 4 of us we had 3 long blacks and 1 pour over coffee to start off. The coffee was quite strong here, but that jolt of energy is exactly what you need in the morning. For food we tried their lamb kumara meat pie, bacon/egg breakfast meat pie, and their breakfast croissant sandwich. The meat pies' homemade flaky crust was the best part of breakfast, and the croissant sandwich was delicious as expected. Shaky Isles was just as good as people recommended it to be! It's a cute cafe with lots of variety and personality. Solid spot to start your day off right at an affordable price! We'll be back again soon!

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.
