Parking just outside can get busy . Cosy cafe , the door is open and can get slightly cool in the winterdays. They have also 1 settee and the rest are table seating. The menu is ok they have kids fish and kids chicken nuggets ,kids fish and chips . I had poached eggs on toast on multigrain bread $8.00 and a tropical smoothie Which both were delicious A good experience

Had an absolutely amazing experience here! My partner and I have been travelling around and both wish we would’ve found this place earlier, before leaving Auckland! We went there for breakfast twice, and the food (egg Benedict & bacon and tomato bagel) as well as coffee (I had both iced and normal flat white coffees) was amazing! AAA+++, I would love to go back again someday!

The mushrooms on toast were delicious. Items were reasonably priced. It's obviously well enjoyed by the locals who go there and had a nice repoire with the staff/owners. Nothing flash, but good all the same.
