    Awesome place with a very luxury, yet relaxed and easy vibe. You walk in and feel like you’re transported to a cafe in Seoul, where the owners are from. It’s not just the feel, but the drinks too. Had some very delicious and refreshing coffee with really great service. Bring a date or a small group of friends!

    Searched for a speciality coffee shop for a while now in Auckland cbd and came across this absolute gem, the interior is very modern and simply put a minimalist contemporary cafe with top notch coffee a must visit or for a local to enjoy the finest espresso. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone with a thirst for that perfect cup of coffee.

    Beautiful little coffee shop serving coffee to match. Perfectly located next to many places to unwind outside, or chill inside its just as calming. No fuss straight forward great coffee

    Delicious coffee. My wife and I each hit the flat white. Kind staff, minimalist aesthetic. A great place to hang out with a friend, book, or podcast and enjoy a well made coffee

    Lovely contemporary cafe with minimalistic design and menu. Good coffee and pastries. I wish their coffees are stronger but still tasty!

    Super aesthetic and minimalist cafe! I wish there was more seating options and the seats at the coffee bar weren’t as comfortable to sit on. Would also be great to have some space to work with laptops! Amazing coffee with beautiful latte art! Service is also very nice.

    Imagine a simple house where they serve you coffee. This is what Rumours is. A simple house serving coffee and honestly it's a vibe. Doesn't feel pretentious, doesn't make you feel out of place. A speakeasy coffee place, serving good coffees in a minimalist manner. Not too much table space other than the one at the coffee counter. Which is good, limits the number of desk hogs; the last thing you need when you're caffeine deprived looking for a seat... Also they do desserts sometimes, and they're top tier. Japanese style, so a nice balance of sweet, not overwhelming like the ones you find in mid coffee shops. Yes it's good, go if you like good coffees and a relaxing atmosphere. Don't go if you don't like to chill I guess.

    This cafe in Auckland is one of the few that offers pour-over coffee. However, they provide flavored coffee rather than focusing on the natural flavor of coffee beans, so those who visit purely to enjoy the coffee should take note. I haven't tried the food. The staff is friendly. The seating might not be comfortable, but the atmosphere is unique and modern.

    Excellent latte art skill and coffee! Barista is cool and hospitality. Fully body texture, and tests like caramel and creamy. Love to visit again and grab beans home!

  • 5/5 Maak B. 7 months ago on Google
    Super well made espresso. Obviously the barista cares. Probably the roast was a bit lighter than my preference but this happens a lot as lighter roasts are getting very popular

    Really lovely place. Ordered iced flat white, it was a bit too sweet for my taste but still amazing.

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn P. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee is as good as the cafe is aesthetic. This minimalist oasis in the CBD crafts a smooth flat white, a dreamy house made vanilla latte, and a rotation of local pastries. This cafe was my home away from home in Auckland.

    Clean, aesthetic coffee shop serving Korean coffee (or they were when I went at least). Two pourover options for beans. Baristas tasted each cup to ensure brew was expected. Overall nice experience sitting at the bar. About 10-15 seats in total. I wouldn’t expect to sit here for too terribly long. No bathrooms.

    Extremely chic, great coffee, a wonderful little spot for a pick me up as you shop in downtown Auckland.

  • 5/5 Lilian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Coffees were good. Almond croissants were flakey and buttery. Loved the vibe here.

  • 5/5 Agnieszka N. 1 year ago on Google
    Focused on specialty coffee, this minimalist place delivers great espresso and flat whites. Friendly baristas and easy to find location in the CBD.

  • 5/5 Dana Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Very minimalist design. Coffee was pretty good. Very busy during weekdays as there is a lawyer building in front, so it’s all business people coming in groups for orders. So there was bit of wait …

  • 5/5 Sabrina 1 year ago on Google
    Excited to try the new cafe in town. Simple yet delicious. Enjoyed every sip of it. Highly recommend!

    High quality coffee with very friendly service from staff, also excellent interior to enjoy for your eyes and photographs to upload on instagram. Must visit cafe in Auckland.

    Cosy atmosphere, amazing coffee, nice people. Definitely come here to enjoy a cup of coffee. They also have some pastries, but I didn’t try those

    The atmosphere is so welcoming and warm. The design inside is beautiful and it was hands down the best coffee I've had in New Zealand. I would recommend the espresso. The service was amazing and on the slow moments the barista even gave me a free coffee. I will be coming back tomorrow.

    Great coffee! I had the house special which was divine. My wife's Cappuccino was great too! Awesome vibe. Great space. Loved it.
