3 weeks agoSuch an amazing spot! All the staff have the warmest smiles and are incredibly kind and attentive. They make you feel so welcome that it’s like you’ve just made a new friend. On my first visit, I ordered the “soup of the day”, which turned out to be a beautifully rich edamame soup. You could tell they’d used a generous amount of edamame, it looked stunning, and for just $18, it felt like such great value. I was curious about their $20 risotto as well, so I went back another day...and wow, that dish was just perfect. The flavour of the cheese balanced so well with the nutty crunch of the walnuts, making it feel like a main you’d get in a full course meal. I honestly didn’t expect to be able to enjoy such a beautifully crafted dish first thing in the morning! The coffee, made by a Japanese barista, was incredible too. The latte art was so delicate, and you could really taste the depth of flavour that only comes from a lot of practice and passion. Being a Kiwi-French café, there are little touches of French around the place, giving it such a lovely atmosphere; it almost feels like a little getaway. It’s truly become a special spot for me that brightens my morning every time I go. Massive thanks to the whole team!

4 months agoWhat a joy to crave granola with coconut yoghurt and stumble in here to discover not only was it on the menu but at midday they were still serving it! Absolutely delicious blend of nuts, fruits and granola. The green smoothie was on point and the espresso had the perfect crema. Loved this place. Shame we don't live in Auckland as would be here a lot otherwise.
