👍👍 A naughty slice of pizza on a Friday with the sun beaming down. Can’t beat it at Little sister cafe. Good vibes and friendly chatty girls on the counter make the experience even better.

    Good coffee. Good people. Love the brioche and enormous scones from the place. Do give the mite brioche a try 🥳 Coffee is just right. Not too hot. And nicely extracted. Staffs are nice. Place can get packed sometimes with parking being a slight issue but not much of a probs for a great coffee

    Delicious! Ordered hotcakes and a hot chocolate. Hot chocolate was a good balance of milky, frothy and chocolates taste. The hot cakes (in my opinion) could have used more syrup but were probably compensated by all the fruit and vanilla cream. Bacon was tasty and cooked well. Overall a real good bite and decently priced. Watch out for the rogue seagulls if you’re outside!

    One of the best cafes i had been to in Auckland. Food were absolute delights. Sweets are to die for. Thanks for the friendly service as well!

    The coffee was rich and aromatic, hitting the perfect balance, really nice with strong flavour and creamy milk. Not too much, just perfect. The Benedict eggs were a delight—tasty, with velvety hollandaise sauce. We ordered the one with salmon and it tastes so good. As for desserts, they were simply delicious, a sweet symphony that capped off the meal perfectly. Each bite was a testament to culinary excellence. A must-visit for coffee aficionados, brunch enthusiasts, and anyone with a sweet tooth. The are some parking lots just in front of the store. All staff are really nice.

    We stopped by for a Sunday breakfast. It is located in a business park so there was quite a bit of parking. The place was quite full but we managed to grab the only available table which happened to fit us all. They have a basket of menus near the door so we grabbed some and sat down. After looking through the menu you order at the counter to get a number to place on the holder on the table. they have a selection of cabinet food as well as a menu. Quite a few of the items on the menu sound interesting but I went with the banoffee hotcakes. The hotcakes themselves were quite good. Airy and had a nice flavour. The kiwifruit was surprising as was the bruleed banana with the peel on. It was still quite tasty altogether. I found their hot chocolate to be quite watery and it didn't come with marshmallows. The mix mash hash apparently tasted of nothing but pesto. The food was interesting.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I have actually been to this little West Auckland gem for over the last 5 years and this would be the first time I gave it a review. It is one busy little cafe which offers not much car parking or seating but it is definitely one of my favourite places in Auckland! The quality of food and coffee have always held the same high standards (every single visit) and have never ceased to please my palates. The Eggs benedicts are just amazing, regardless of whichever variation of Salmon, Bacon or Mushrooms! The Nutella Raspberry hotcakes are just sweet and not too sweet. The field mushrooms are also well seasoned and balanced so they were amazingly flavoursome. The best part were the aesthetics of the dishes. They are just gorgeous and the utmost attention were given to ensure that are properly decorated. The coffees came with a different Latte Art for everyone. Needless to say, the staff were always professional and friendly and never ceased to provide a good service with excellent food! I would highly recommend this cafe even if it means waiting for a spot outside their doors!

    Very popular Cafe with good food. I had the streaky bacon eggs bennidict which was nice, but they didn't use an English muffin and used toast instead which was soggy so I didn't eat that part. Would have been okay if they had used a different kind of bread for the toast. My partner had the Big Sister and it was very good, but the butter came straight from the fridge and was too hard to use. The donuts are so pretty you almost don't want to eat them, but they're very good. The only issue with eating in the Cafe, especially in winter is that it is so popular that the people waiting in line make it so that the door is constantly open, bringing in a cold breeze. They have a couple heaters to help with this though.

    I didn’t eat half of the Big Brother Burger, it was much toooooo sweet to eat the whole burger. The sweet pulled pork, sweet apple salad, sweet pickled onion slices. The whole burger just tasted like a giant dessert. 🤮

    We had lunch here sometime ago. It was not a big cafe. Sitting was tight and parking was limited. However the food was tasty. It deserved a visit. So if around the area just drop in for a cup of coffee. Maybe a bite too. 0 Votes for helpful, 0 Comments

    Coffee is so so but I like the food here. I want to recommend Jamaican Jerk Chicken bcos it’s so good. Have had this one several times already. Other food options are decent too according to my partner.

  • 5/5 Bill L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little cafe, the food came out quick and fast but they didn't do anything quick about the flavour! The big brother burger was amazing as was the Jamaican jerk chicken! I will be back for sure

    Cosy place with yummy food with a good vibe! One of the best Mocha that I’ve had, Polenta omelette with Salmon was great and tasty. Highly recommend.

    Little Sister Cafe is one of the best cafés in all of West Auckland. There's a wide variety of delicious food to choose from and an awesome selection of yummy beverages. The side of "Bowl of Potatoes" alone, is worth a visit here, just to try them for yourself - they're the best, and will leave you wanting for more. Other excellent dishes I've tried on several occasions include the Mish Mash Hash and Jamaican Jerk Chicken (both pictured, along with the Bowl of Potatoes). The food is fresh, ingredients are very high quality, coffee and cold drinks are superb, and the staff working here are true superstars. Food and drinks are served quickly, are very generously portioned, and at a great price point. This cafe is highly recommended for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even a snack. I've personally dined here around a dozen times, and each time I find myself more and more impressed with the food, drinks and service. Did I mention the Rocky Road slice? Wowee, they're amazing and go down really smooth with a fresh flat white coffee! Amazing cafe, and very easily accessible. 5/5 Stars!!! *****

    Great coffee, but unfortunately all our hot drinks were lukewarm, and there were only 2 other tables seated. Cooked breakfast was nice, but the cheese scone was unbelievably doughy, especially when it was warmed, but even when it cooled down it was still extremely doughy, possibly underbaked.

    Great food and excellent service. Banoffee cakes are my favourite. Thanks..

    Popped in for a quick lunch break today and had their sausage roll and an iced oat latte. While food was good, the service was even better. Super friendly staff made the atmosphere really comfortable. Would definitely visit again!

    Wow totally did not expect the quality of food from this place. ... far exceeded expectations. Delicious food, courteous staff, absolutely surprisingly good atmosphere, wholeheartedly recommend the bacon and egg Benedict. Top notch !

    One of the best cafes in the area, tasty food and great service! Highly recommend big sister and this chicken platter, can"t remember the name

  • 4/5 Pranay K. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for a breakfast and had the eggs Benedict. Was very good and delicious. Also had the iced chocolate which was more watery and lacked flavour. It is a bit pricey and the iced chocolate cost $8.5 which I wouldn't recommend. Apart from this, the venue seemed lovely and had a nice cosy vibe to it

    Popular and busy little cafe. Great food and great coffee, consistent with both too over multiple visits. The location doesn't really support how popular it is though, very limited parking and eat-in table space.

  • 5/5 Catherine H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the polenta omelette - fantastic, loved the thyme imparting flavour on the polenta chips. Healthy dining options here. Outdoor dining available. Pleasant, helpful staff. Steady stream of people, popular with locals and cyclists on their Sunday bike ride. Coffee was served exactly as requested, industrial decor vibe is relaxing.

👍👍 Came in here for breakfast as after looking at and reading about other places nearby this seemed like the best option. I was not proved wrong. It was well worth it in respect to both food and service, and though not busy it was a nice place to sit in and enjoy breakfast. I chose the Goode Breakfast...
