First time here but I can see this place is a local favorite. Very friendly staff; in the half hour I was there they knew the name of every single customer that came in! Relaxed atmosphere, tasty food, it was great!

Morning tea yummy date scone and coffee. Great thing about this coffee is that it is underground coffee. This is one of the things I miss about Christchurch. If you are a discerner of coffee the I highly recommend underground.

Best place in Remuera for a coffee and bite. The staff make a point to get to know the regulars by name and what their drink of choice is. Have been going there virtually ever day now for a couple of years. Thanks for the great coffee & service Teresa, Ashleigh & Naomi.

Absolutely delicious food and drink here and friendly staff. I will definitely have to come back for the French toast again, one of the best I’ve had in Auckland and I’m always on the lookout. Everything was perfectly made - the French toast was thick and fluffy, the soup was warm and wholesome, the bread was perfectly crunchy. Thanks for a lovely meal
