    I’ve been on a mission to try as many cafes in West Auckland since moving here and this would have to be one of my all time favourites. The coffee is great each time, and to boot the general vibes are awesome. The staff are always chatty and happy in an authentic unforced way and the place is always humming (but not annoyingly overpacked) where you can people watch or just while away time chatting with friends or scrolling your phone (take your pick). The cool decor adds to the vibe and the fact that it’s situated in an off-the-path location but is always busy says a lot. If you appreciate coffee and cafes that are not franchises this is it. Closest thing to the renowned cool eclectic Welly cafes. Chuffed to have them in my neighbourhood!

    Great coffee in the west. The staff were friendly and the prices of the actual coffee itself was so worth it. Love how they roast the coffee themselves. I recommend the grilled cheese and the cheese scone

    Amazing cafe, hidden spot, great coffee and nice food, no fancy decor but so warm and cosy. The most marvellous thing is the owner runs this lovely cafe to support his orphanage in India. LOVE IT 💕

    Really good coffee, they roast their own in the shop! Nice atmosphere, rustic I guess you could call it. Great friendly staff. Many Customers are local regulars- a real family feeling. And the food -wow, great price and taste, not to mention it looks amazing too!

    Nice little café in Glen Eden. Saturday brunch with the family will not break the bank. Staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is eclectic. Clean and nice premises. Try the oinc sandwich or the waffles. Cabinet food is also delicious. 👌

    My Mum told me about this cafe, she loves it and we went there together when she insisted. One of the best cafes I have been to out West. The staff were friendly and attentive without being annoying or obtrusive. The desert I had was beautifully made and delicious, sorry, cant remember what it was. The coffee was to a high standard. There is a great atmosphere in this place and I look forward to going again.

    Awesome food and coffee. The salads are the best you will find anywhere and change often. There's a variety of hot and cold food available. I have tried quite a few of the delicious items on offer over the past couple of years. They are always amazing. An excellent place to eat at or take food to go. Highly recommended!

    Sozo is my favourite coffee shop. Tucked away on the back road to Henderson. The people there are real and friendly and work very hard to maintain good healthy home made food, great coffee and the best service always with a smile.

    Gorgeous vibe and friendly kind staff. Cozy and buzzing atmosphere. The food was beautiful, both menu and from the cabinet. Freshly roasted coffee on site - so good! Will definitely be back!

😠 Nice sunset view. Very expensive food. Very inefficient kitchen. $25 for a very small and average tasting pizza with not much on it, that took 1 hour to make. It wasn't even busy.

👍 Forgot to photograph the main, but all was delicious! You can pay extra to sit in the dome pictured - it costs $60 for dinner so we opted to just sit inside. Staff were friendly and attentive. The two or three course option is well priced if you are dining Sun- Thur.
