    I went to The Pepe on the 29th on December at approximately 11:30am. I came with a group of 8…read morefriends of mine for a pleasant breakfeast. We ordered coffee and a variate of their food items. We were told the wait time would be an hour, and although they let us know, it shouldn't be that busy since the cafe was not that packed. The coffee was good, one of the redeeming qualities of this restaurant. However, the service was quite mediocre. Our table had not been cleared and when one of my associates asked for the table to be cleared, we got a snarky reply . When they finally cleared the table they still left a few dishes. Also, the food was bought out over a 15 minute period which really was not pleasant watching my friends eat their food while I sat there hungry. When almost all hope was lost, one of the best eggs benes I had ever eaten was put in front of me. They have a large portion of food, especially of the salmon. The toast could have been a bit crispier but overall quite good. Definitely a bit of room for improvement but could be a Michelin star cafe if they take this review with a swift stride. Yours sincerely, Steel drillbit

Kids menu looked good too- and there's a playground right next door so great if traveling with kids! Looks like they also do breakfast and lunch. There's more on the menu than what they post at the door.

    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.
