    We came in for weekday brunch, the service was excellent and it was busy. The mochas were sweet and the food was good. They still have QR codes if you want to keep scanning

    I go to this place every Thursday. A regular that my Boss and I go too. It's funny when the waiters know your order, that means it's time for a new place right? But why go somewhere else when you know the food is amazing? Lately, I've been ordering Beef pho, a classic Vietnamese breakfast dish for the cold weather. I also love the Asian omelette too. Another amazing dish. The menu has a variety of different food to choose from. Here are recent pics of our Thursday morning breakfast with my orange juice and a single shot of espresso!

    Isn’t it lovely to find a cafe where you can simultaneously get an egg Benedict or French toast and a bowl of pho or pad-thai. A sweet mix of East and West - only if the food is authentic of course. I came in thinking I’ll have a simple sandwich but was tempted by the pho - it didn’t disappoint. The pho had a rich stock filled with a refreshing aniseed fragrance - perfect for a winter day. I drizzled some lemon over the soup and it brought out all the right aroma. I would happily have another bowl. Loved it.

    We usually go there fir fabulous Bun Cha, but today tried Best Ugly Bagel with cured salmon and Egg Benedict with potato gratin. Both were great and didn’t leave me disappointed. Flat white with almond milk was nice too, creamy and coffee beans didn’t taste burnt.

    We read reviews here and thought to give it a try since it’s got 4.6/5. Had the pancake - worst pancake I’ve ever had and way too overpriced for what you get. Pancake came with lots of apples to make it look big hidden under the pancakes, 1 slice of orange and a dry compote. My dad ordered the creamy mushroom which was alright. We both ordered coffee and they weren’t good :( Won’t be coming back.

    I love their salads!!! The bowls are so big and it tastes nice and fresh. It is easy to find a seat here even though I'm a walk-in customer. Highly recommended!

    Really nice to find a French toast that was not a race to diabetes. The fruit tastes, fresh, compote, made it interesting at a reasonable price. Nice coffee 😀

    This place has a massive menu! It’s brunch and Vietnamese food. I had the creamy mushrooms which comes with a poached egg and rye toast, I ordered a side of bacon. My partner had the omelette filled with prawns and chicken. Very generous and tasty. Huge portions! Coffee is All Press and very good. Great to find a place with good coffee and food. Also quite spacious with lots of outdoor seating covered by the wind and indoor tables. Great for families and groups. Definitely will be back. Thanks very much.

    The staff here are super friendly and welcoming. They serve one of the best eggs benedict which I recommend others to try. Like many other cafes, it does take a while for staff to prepare your order, especially during busy times

    This is the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. You can feel the care and attention placed into every detail at Josy, in the customer service, the coffee and menu. If you are thinking about coming here, DO IT.

    A great place I never knew existed. Was impressed. Service was good. Not a great deal of cabinet food still it was good.

    This is hands down the best cafe in Auckland. Delicious Asian fusion food as well as all the standard cafe fare. Chicken Curry and Chicken Pho both especially amazing. Great coffee and cakes, relaxed atmosphere, very good service. Just the best.

    Yummy food and coffee. Very busy cafe in a great location. Only giving it 4 stars as the food was so hot it burnt my mouth. Otherwise lovely.

    We popped in here by chance as we had a grizzly baby who needed to be fed. Initially we were just going to have drinks but after looking at the delicious sounding menu, decided to also have lunch. The menu is an interesting mix of western and Vietnamese food. Service was a bit iffy as we asked for a few more minutes to decide and no one came back for a good 15 minutes but we weren’t in a rush so overall fine. We ordered the pork belly curry, the bun cha and a side of Fries and wow the food was amazing. Really decent servings of food and amazing flavours. Some of the best Vietnamese we have had in Auckland. A great find, and will definitely be back.

    Lovely cafe. I had the big breakfast and it was def big! You better have an appetite for this plate of sausages, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, toast, mushrooms - and I added a hash cake, too! I couldn't eat it all and ended up with a takeaway box! I also had a smoothie which was nice, but not fruity enough for me. My sisters had no complaints about their food. It was quite busy when we arrived and there were all sorts of people enjoying a warm day out.

    Great ambience, love the coffee. Got their bun cha which was nice, though a bit empowering in terms of flavour. Would come back again and try other items
