    This place is perfect for bringing kids for a Sunday brunch. The food is healthy and delicious and there's a fabulous play area for kids. Excellent coffee, and an old school New Zealand caravan kitted out as a playroom. Really good atmosphere and friendly service. Their ice cream is out of this world and they are very generous with it! We couldn't finish our two scoops..!

    Industrial style, the space is relatively large. The coffee style is distinct and three-dimensional. It seems that the menu only has bagels, which is very refreshing. It's a bit far from where I live, otherwise it's worth visiting often.

    From the interior design perspective, the cafe displays the design principles by the utilizing the design elements well. The pine boards has been applied to make lines, Shape, form & patterns neatly. The contract of textures are reflected by the old steel beach, the old barn concrete floor, the natural wood, the plants leaves and even the rug coffee bags etc. The natural light came into through the old high celling vertical windows, which makes the paint and wood pattern look beautiful. Apply green theme are shown obviously into the toilet by bushy wallpaper and green paint. The open board window are connected the roasted coffee space and hospitality area well. There is good balance between Negative space and positive space. In general, all the materials & design do help transfer this very old barn into impressive modern cafe with its personality.

    I had the very good fortune to visit the new Mt Atkinson Coffee Shop at 44b Portage Rd New Lynn! The old Tannery has had an amazing makeover and The Coffee Shop is a very cool space with an awesome vibe. The team is buzzing, the coffee and bagels were perfection as always and every cup you have contributes to the provision of clean water for the good coffee farmers of Kunungu in Western Uganda. All round terrific experience - doing good by drinking good - a definite go to for locals and visitors alike 😊

    the first few times i ordered it was great, but recently they have been forgetting items on my door dash orders constantly and burning my bagels. Really disappointed because it was a new fave

    I didn't realize Bagels were the only savoury food available when I googled for a cafe with Vegan food, and I'm not a big fan of bagels but I actually did enjoy my "Build your own bagel" I also tried one of the vegan slices. Overall fairly nice experience but enjoying the bagel definitely surprised me. Definitely add Mushrooms ($5) I think they were the best part (Recommend by the staff) Thanks

    Seriously good coffee, nice decor and atmosphere and a friendly crew. They also have a curated little shop with their own coffee beans, and an innovative whiskey / coffee cold brew in time for Christmas this year. This is such a great spot in New Lynn.

    Love their coffee, and absolutely love their service. These guys excel in going above and beyond for their customers. Both times during the COVID-19 lockdown periods, our beans were hand delivered by Jacob himself. Mt Atkinson Coffee didn't use the courier service as an excuse for extended delivery delays - they just got on with and made sure their Auckland customers were able to keep their coffee topped up! You guys are awesome! LOVE the Muriwai blend, btw!!

    Best. Cafe. Ever. Coffee’s the best I’ve ever tried and the food’s real good too. They’ve got new menus so they’re a must to try. Place looks aesthetically pleasing and defs instagrammable lol. Customer service is superb. All the staff are wonderful. Their coffee beans are also simply the best. I personally get my beans from them always cause other brands just simply won’t do 😩💕

    A bit like the house of the living dead in there, no vibe whatsoever since the new owners have taken over. Staff don't acknowledge your existence even while actually serving you. Like being in a room full of NPC's. Very depressing environment. Good coffee but overpriced - nearly $8 for the smallest coffee you've ever seen.

    Nice place you would not think it is a cafe from the out side. I like the simple modern decor. They are a coffee roaster and ice cream maker. Mocha was okay, lunch they only served bagels from Best Ugly, which is yummy. Ice cream was good. Parking is limited as no on street parking. Staff did not look like they were enjoying the work, not that friendly, otherwise it would have been a five stars.

    Great place for a coffee and cinnamon scroll while getting some work done 👩‍💻

    First timer and definitely will be coming back again. Had to pop in to a cafe quickly for an urgent meeting and the coffee was so tasty that I ended up having some vegan food from their delicious menu. Lydia was so lovely & welcoming - so the “dent” in my wallet can be attributed to her great customer service

  • 5/5 Susan D. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I had a delicious brunch here and sheltered from the rain, over several more coffees, before braving the dash to her car. Little did we know what was coming. Parking, was a lucky find directly by the front entrance and the staff were very friendly.

    Lovely locally roasted coffee. Classic late 20th century music not to loud. Good service. Nice feel all around.

  • 4/5 Arka B. 3 years ago on Google
    A cafe with an industrial vibe that grinds their own beans. The staff are quite helpful and the coffee is pretty good. The ambience is rather unique with a little trailer that has been converted into a place for kids. The ice cream menu is pretty generous and everything on the menu seems reasonably affordable. A nice stop to stop by for a sip, a bite, and a conversation. Drop in for an hour or two.

    I went here this morning and ordered a cup of coffee. No one was waiting when I got there, however I’ve been waiting for over 10 minutes and the coffee is still not ready. Even the guy who came after me already left with four cups of coffee.They didn't start making it until I asked the staff where my coffee was. They didn't explain anything or even have smiley faces. I felt completely ignored and unfairly treated .I was very disappointed. As a customer I don't deserve to be treated like this.

    I am rating the efficiency of the online order I made recently through their shop. I purchased the rhino milk jug and rhino shot glass for espresso. I am very pleased with the quality of the product, well packaged and was safely delivered. Highly recommended place to get your Barista needs.

    Friendly service, quick coffee and food, the atmosphere was great, plenty of people around but still quiet enough to be able to chat undisturbed by others' conversations.

    Beautiful trendy set up with viewing areas into the icecream making area, through window in kids caravan. We came here for ice cream and was sadly a bit disappointed. The service was very average. After standing looking at the icecream flavors for a bit no one greeted us... you are instructed with a note to buy it first at register then go pick your flavour. Ok fine. I ordered a kids single scoop and an adults double. The kiddy single scoop, it didn't even make it over the edge of the cone - ie you couldn't see it .. In my double, the 2nd scoop with a bit of encouragement to the server and mention that the scoops were a bit small, the top scoop looked a bit 'healthier' than my first which I felt was on the small side not much bigger than my childs 1 scoop. So as I handed my daughter hers, her face looked so sad - i couldn't, so I asked if they could put a little bit more on, and with consultation with the girl making coffee and or someone else... they very reluctantly agreed to put a shave more on. Had I of known, I may have ordered just the single scoop for her. The icecream looked a bit hard maybe and difficult to scoop, looked like it may have helped to dip the scoop in hot water between scoops? Taste was good however. The flat white for my tasting was a bit burnt, some people strangely like it like this after living in Cambridge for a while and this appears to be the preferance? Ah well, I dont think the staff were in any mood to have me reappear now complaining about coffee and tbh I didnt want to deal with the nonchalant begrudgingness. Chocolate and beetroot muffin came out.... it was really good, must have been the touch of butter added in the really neat paper twist. ;) butter is so good. I eventually ordered the fluffy and I always appreciate when price is $1. $2 and over I think is far more than neccessary... cute choc marshmallow was well enjoyed. Seemed like a lovely place to meet with friends, some were having business meetings it seemed with plugs for laproos and phones to charge while seated with them. Really wanted to like this place more, but stingy icecream serving and attitude with me stating so just really tainted it. EDIT: The owner has been in contact regarding this and has wonderfully offered his own service next time I come in to ensure a better experience here. I'll update later after I visit again. EDIT 26.2.21 for visit on 20.2.21: From the above review which I rated as a 2☆ I have finally returned and experienced what can be described as very satisfying beautiful large ice creams on a hot sunny day. Lovely service from the girls, and who served me gave a free icecream for the disappointment of the previous experience. 2x adult ice creams and 2x single scoops for the children were ordered. So so good!!! Highly recommend the Salted Caramel flavour, it's just every bit creamy and caramelly sweet like a good ice cream should be, and the Double Chocolate I think they call it. Almost like a rich chocolate mousse. Mouthwateringly good. Thank you so much for this wonderful last minute experience. It was a real treat. All the best with the business in future. *Pic numbers 7 on. *Really sorry I cannot add further pics of the latest icecreams, the app keeps stopping and kicking me off.

    8/8 would reckomando this coffee, tight as a tight rope. Even when I mess up the brewing, it still tastes better than Supreme lol.

  • 5/5 Ganmer Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff were very friendly and food was absolutely delicious. Very sad that there isn't a chain in my local area but if I am ever visiting this spot again then I will be sure to visit again.

  • 5/5 Theresa Tupufia- Lui Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Seriously good coffee and genuine good customer service

  • 4/5 Isabelle B. 1 year ago on Google
    I overall enjoyed my visit, but found it really hard to study or think about a conversation with the noise that was coming from the surrounding areas/part of the same building? They have peppy music playing over the industrial noise, which is a vibe, just not quite the chill one I was hoping for. I also ordered a bagel with toppings, which was lovely, but difficult to eat in the small basket it was served in. It would have been easier on a plate :)

  • 5/5 Fraser K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee - nice food the only draw back is the right carparki g but hey its worth it for the coffee!

  • 5/5 Sam C. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I love coming here. We regularly come for a game of chess, coffee and bagels! Quality beans + Food. We love meeting and bringing friends here for a catch up.

  • 5/5 Adrian J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee good place to study and work pleasant service nice environment spacious no clutter minimalistic industrial look yet inviting the coffee is quite strong so it stands out from other run of the mill coffee and they're off and the ice cream is absolutely delicious the ambient music is good not too loud just right

  • 5/5 Janet H. 5 years ago on Google
    So good. Love their coffee and service is always fantastic.

  • 5/5 Talena H. 2 years ago on Google
    I get the monthly subscription of Muriwai blend coffee, which is perfect for those who like a good strong black coffee. But the recent special edition Whisky Barrel aged coffee I got, holy everything it is sooo damn good! Like an Irish coffee without the booze and perfect with the coconut milk my puku demands. 100% recommend these guys

  • 5/5 Haylee 2 years ago on Google
    Our favourite supplier of coffee beans, the Piha blend is our absolute favourite. Shipping is always insanely quick. Their barista made coffee is also unsurprisingly great.

  • 5/5 Kelly C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and attentive staff. Even better, each cup benefits our global neighbors.

  • 5/5 Karma H. 1 year ago on Google
    Mt Atkinson is delicious coffee delivered quickly. We love the Piha blend. It's very smooth but punchy! The company has a lovely customer service team as well.

  • 5/5 Sarah W. 1 year ago on Google
    Just tried through uber eats - amazing bagels, great coffee and the best chips! Earth friendly packaging too. Definitely our new favourite. Next time will pop in store.
