    Worst experience ever. First of all, I have tried many cafe in Auckland and this cafe make me have to write the reviews . Me and my friends came into this cafe for the first time. We ordered smash avocado on toast which the egg was fully cooked, egg shell on the egg and tomato was half roasted . The risotto we ordered tasted like porridge and no seasoning. And the prawn pasta taste like the stir fry noodle from the take away shop. Will never come back again.

    Visited this hidden gem twice in one week! Once by myself and once with family. The food is really bang for your buck! The atmosphere is very.. quiet but a nice quiet. Wasn’t too busy both times I went which was good because seating can be hard to get in other places. It’s a big empty space in a way inside and workers are very quiet also but they’re super nice and quick. I ordered the banoffee French toast twice. The first time was bittersweet as the fire alarms went off midway through my meal so I wasn’t able to finish it all but it was a meal that filled me up. The attention to detail and presentation on the plate itself was 1000/10, so definitely a meal worth posting on instagram. It’s not a meal you’d likely expect to be ‘banoffee’ though because it’s a deconstructed version but everything comes together on the plate nicely and goes down even better. Citrus, fruit and French toast weirdly makes a good combination and I’d definitely come back for it again. I also tried the smashed avo on toast and would’ve enjoyed it overall if it didn’t have lemon juice throughout. Maybe others enjoy a bit of citrus in it but I didn’t personally like the taste. It was really good either way and you get a lot of avo on your bread for the price. It also came with poached eggs which I eat a lot of and they were divine with the avo, kinda made the taste of the lemon disappear but it went down a treat. On my second visit, I took two of my family members with me. They both ordered the big bambina breakfast and loved it. The portions were just right for both of them. (So big they couldn’t finish it all). Their baked goods are really good too. I took home a blueberry and custard danish. Tastes just as good as the ones from bakers delight. They also had cream donuts which looked really good but my stomach was already so full so I’ll pass on them until my next visit. And lastly, as a drink, I ordered a caramel macchiato which was a first time thing for me and it was pretty decent. Not what I’d normally order but it was refreshing after a full meal. Overall, this business is one that people should put on their bucket lists. It can be pricey for some but if you’ve ever got spare change and want a meal from a place that knows how to give out good portioned meals, I’d recommend Bambina.

    ✨Food I thought it was pricey at first cause every meal ranges from 25-30+ When I received what we ordered, I understand that they put effort on the presentation and make things extra ordinary. Flavor wise: ricotta hotcake was great if you eat it with every element put into it. But without the ricotta the hotcake was normy. Serving was good for 2-4 people. Half way through i felt full. Superfood bowl, the sauce was delish. Really healthy bowl Osmanthus latte, this is do not appreciate. Is the osmanthus just for decor? Cause i dont taste or smell anything special in the drink. Just taste like a latte. ✨Ambiance I think they can do more. The place was so plain. The food was colorful and how it was advertised by tiktokers, I expected more on the decor. Toilet - I think they share toilet with the whole building thats why its dirty

    We experienced outstanding service from a cheerful staff, and the presentation of the dishes was truly artistic. We enjoyed the smashed avocado, chili scrambled eggs, and panna cotta, paired with refreshing summer fruit and peppermint drinks. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food and service make it a worthwhile visit.

    I can strongly recommend a visit to Bambina if you haven’t been already! Some friends recommended it to me and I had a great time! 💯 I would describe it as a really well-executed fusion experience - I think you’ll be able to find something for everyone (in a group). We ordered the keto spicy Thai beef salad, Spaghetti with Wafu Garlic & Prawns, and the grilled salmon. Really great flavours that weren’t too overpowering. Although there was quite a lot of coriander - more so than I would’ve liked (but that’s just me being picky). The portion size of the dishes were impressive- perfect for sharing as a group if you’re indecisive! Great to see all the ingredients in the salad and the grilled salmon looking fresh! For drinks, we ordered a mochaccino, Caramel Macchiato, and the Osmanthus Fragrans Latte. The Osmanthus Fragrans Latte had quite the floral fragrance - similar to jasmine tea imo. We (3 people) went on a Sunday @ 1pm during the brunch rush. We were seated and told the wait time would be 30 minutes but our order arrived in 20 minutes, which was great considering they seemed quite full. The staff seemed really busy but still always patient with us as we had quite a few questions about the menu! We were also able to split the bill. Would like to try more on their menu soon!

    I know this more than half year, but I didn’t have free time to try. I was very happy because I tried it this week. Japanese tea rice salmon is very delicious. I loved it. And also the lamb salad is good too( but for me, too much cream 😅😅)

    Excellent display, normal taste. But there is an insect in the strawberry, so disappointed. The blue circle highlighted in the picture is exactly the strawberry I am referring to here. The insect is very tiny, looks like a piece of strawberry leafs, but moving. Which indicates it’s a bug not a leaf.

    Last week, I came here with friends for brunch. It was busy, and the wait was quite long. After an hour, I got served basic smashed avocado. The poached eggs were fully cooked with shells in them. The bread was over-toasted and tasted like hardtack. This was a huge disappointment, especially given how long we waited and the restaurant's reputation. After the meal, we decided to rate this restaurant. Then we were accused of cyberbullying by the restaurant because we gave one star without any photos and simply our personal opinions didn’t match what they were trying to sell to the customer - a great brunch. If you can't admit your food tastes bad, then don't attack your customers with nonsense accusations.

    I found a white bug inside the strawberry. When I was eating it, the white bug crawled out of the hole of the strawberry, so I quickly threw it away. But I had a stomachache at the time and didn't keep any evidence. Next time I encounter a food safety issue, I will keep evidence as soon as possible. The atmosphere is good.
