    I’m impressed by how good the egg/mushroom burger or sandwich thingy tastes. This tiny place is listed as top breakfast in Auckland CBD for a reason. Highly recommended.

    I found this little gem. I started to frequent this place after finishing night shift. It's small, cute and quiet. I usually buy a flat white or cappuccino and a ham n cheese croissant yummy. Small variety of choices but very yum

    Really nice cafe, in a hotel lobby (has an outdoor serving window as well). Trim flat white was lovely, as was the oreo cookie ($8.40 for both). Has a small amount of indoor seating.

    This cafe is so cute. To get in there you need to walk through the doors of the hotel! The ham and cheese croissant was delicious and the hot chocolate as well. The place is small and cozy. The people working there are very nice as well. I'll get back at some point to try more. They have an interesting variety of sandwiches and sweet treats.

    Fond(ou) is an awesome place to grab perfect coffee and amazing food. The staff are fantastic and friendly. Such a great place for informal meetings or to catch up with friends. I’d definitely recommend this great cafe

    Coffee was not so great unfortunately. They have their own blend which I appreciated but it was more the “burnt” side of flavors.

    Beautiful tiny cafe, with charming atmosphere and wonderful food and coffee. I had not have such a good coffee in a long time and the ham and cheese croissant was divine: thin ham and flaky and buttery pastry. My husband loved the breakfast roll so much that I went for a second one.

    Such sweet friendly staff. Tasty sandwiches and coffee. But truly the staff are just lovely. Tiny wee shop but cool ambiance as well.

    A very nice tiny cafe inside the lobby of Auckland City Hotel. I enjoyed a beautiful breakfast here, just after my check out. It is a lively place with a diversity of local people that make you feel the atmosphere of the city. I recommend the delicious low carb chicken wrap and the blueberry loaf. Was more than full after that. A special thanks to the barrister who served my flat white in a porcelain cup instead of the usual paper cup🙂.

    Good coffee, delicious food in the cabinet and the staff are super friendly! Great place to sit or get something to take away.

    Coffee at reasonable cost. Bakery items are quite good as well.

  • 5/5 Ahmed J. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff is very responsive, energetic and upbeat this is what most coffee lovers like first thing in the morning. only thing that drove me back to this coffee shop was a memory of few months ago that the staff there was really very pleasant and during a stressful morning it is better to have a smiley and energetic person with a nice background music serving you coffee than someone is rushing and stressed. Coffee and cakes are very good, there are only a couple of chairs to sit there but please has positive energy and ambiance is good, after spending a little time there I suggest walk on Hobson Street (turn left) toward city centre and you will have a great view of sky tower.

    Great coffee and cabinet food looks great! Cosy inside, coffee is quite expensive though

  • 5/5 Brooke N. 4 years ago on Google
    A quaint coffee shop in the Auckland City Hotel...I only had time for a bacon, cheese and fresh thyme scone - with a bit of New Zealand butter and an Americano. The most savory and moist scone ever! Very pleasant and quick service. The space is tiny and they make due with what they have. If you miss the doorway they have an take away window on the street. Multiple awards displayed on their wall by TripAdvisor too.
