Went to an early Mother’s Day brunch with family today and the big breakfast was delicious and I really enjoyed all the elements of this breakfast. Scrambled eggs were soft and fluffy, hash brown nice and crispy, the sautéed mushrooms were another level and the coffee was strong and smooth. The berry cheesecake brownie and cinnamon scroll was a a delicious sweet treat. The staff were lovely and I would say this is one of the best cafes in new Lynn for a solid breakfast and to get homemade sweet treats

Highly recommend the Potato Kumara Hashcake. I had it with the salmon. Loved the food, the coffee and the Anzac Slice. Lovely, friendly staff. Welcoming. Clean and bright atmosphere If you’re ever in the neighbourhood do try them, you won’t be disappointed

We have been here twice and we highly recommend it. We’re picky with coffee and they make a very good one. The food is amazing: they make very good cakes and cones, as well as the pies (we recommend the chicken and mushroom one). The service is AMAZING and now is our place to have a brunch on Mondays after a long weekend working in hospo!

We loved it! We love everything about this café — from the service, how friendly the staff were (especially the cashier), to the food and coffee they served. We’ve been here twice, so we’ll definitely come again and again. – Am & Jose

Well I don’t leave reviews, but twice in a few weeks now … I just needed to. Not really hungry we were looking for a bit of a snack to tide us over for a trip back north. The other places we walked into were either closing, or full on meals and full lunch menu prices. I have just eaten the best chicken and leek pie- ever! The shocks and mushroom filo was an ordering mistake, as we had ordered a pie. My wife fell in love with it! The coffee was very hot, the tea served in a dainty traditional tea cup. The chips… just cooked perfectly. All served with side salads and a complimentary cinnamon scroll for the order mix up…. Not something we would order but OMG I will be back just for that alone! Best little cafe we have been in for a long time. Simple food do every very well! Awesome service with a smile. Well done you guys!
