We went here on a Sunday morning with high expectations of the cafe. It is a long drive from…read moreAuckland CBD - 25 kms, to be exact - so it had better be worth the trip. My wife had the French toast, which she didn't like, and I had the pork sausage. The sausage itself was yummy and the relish was good, but the balance of flavours was ruined by too much rocket leaves. We also shared a cronut: I like cronuts but this one was made cloyingly sweet by a topping of sugar icing. Too bad. Is it me? Are the flavours suited for a different taste? I really wanted to like this place. I'm hoping it was just an off-day. Aside from the food, the service was great. Staff were friendly. Their EFTPOS machine was unavailable so the manager just trusted me to pay later, which I did. Afterwards, we made a quick trip to the nearby market, and drove to the new ferry terminal for a look-see. These extra attractions made the journey nearly worth it.

Catalina is a brilliant licensed cafe and restaurant located in Hobsonville Point out in West…read moreAuckland. I would never have even known it existed if it wasn't for my boyfriend living nearby. And what a shame it would have been to miss out on this little gem! As I tend to do every time I go out for breakfast, when I went to Catalina I ordered the 'big breakfast'. Poached eggs, sausages, tomato, homemade relish, mushrooms, hash browns, crunchy buttery toast - it was the perfect way to start my morning. But what made it even better was the delicious berry smoothie I coupled with it. I highly recommend both these options, and according to my coffee connoisseur of a boyfriend, their coffee is pretty good too. The outdoor area of Catalina is beautiful - really spacious with big umbrellas and a courtyard, it's the perfect place to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, or even a cold wine in the late afternoon. Tip: Every Saturday and Sunday farmer's markets are held in the park right next to Catalina, where great knick knacks and curios can be purchased for a bargain

I have unfortunately received very inconsistently made coffee from Fuze in the last three visits…read more So I am trying very hard not to write bad things about them. It is kinda my local cafe, so I want to like it. And I do enjoy the food here, especially the moist carrot cake. For now, I can only rate Fuze at 3 stars. When I can be sure that they can make a perfect cup of latte everytime, I will revise my rating for them. Ps, the milk was burnt (over heated), that's the inconsistency.

Great parking at the back of the building which is an old bungalow house converted into a cafe, of the same name! Clean and stylishly decorated inside and out, the outdoor patio/deck is perfect for a sunny warm day eating our meals. I ordered mince on toast off the menu at the counter, and was visually tempted by lovely sweet eats at the counter display- such as chocolate brownies and fruity muffins. I have to say the views out the back are lovely, looking back towards Auckland the City of Sails, and if you love a nice strong cup of smooth coffee you are sitting in the right cafe. A perfect spot to meet friends for a catch up also and they are child and baby friendly which is a plus. Delightful and Airy and sunny just a great cafe.

Don't you just LOVE finding the cutest eateries in the most unassuming places?! That's exactly how…read moreI found this little cafe. 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!

The service was amazing and the ladies were so friendly. The food was great- we had carbonara and a Belgian waffle and got the kids chicken schitzel and chips. Everything was delicious and the service was quick- which is another important factor if you're dining with squirmy kids! Highly recommend this place for quick coffee, brunch or lunch!

I was chuffed to see this new addition to the Milford shops when I moved home. The box hedge lining…read morethe pavement, the white washed outdoor table and bench... cute. Inside the fit out is youthful and fun, exactly what you would expect from a café named 'Little King.' There is a huge wooden communal adorned with freshly cut flowers and mismatched tables and chairs reminiscent of your local primary - circa 1990. A playful mural spans an entire wall and exposed light fixtures dangle from the ceiling. Supreme is the coffee of choice and but if caffeine ain't your thing they also have a wide range of herbal teas. As for the menu, it has all the typical brunch fare plus a few extras including about FIVE, yes I said FIVE, different waffle dishes. However, when I went I couldn't get past all the good-looking cabinet food and being a sucker for baked goods of the savory variety I opted for the spinach and cream cheese muffin. It was served hot out of the tray and was moist, fluffy and god damn delicious. What else is pretty choice is that from 7am - 1030am on Weekdays they offer early bird specials. This includes deals such as eggs how you like them AND a reg coffee for only $9.90....genius! I guess the early bird really does catch the worm.

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!
