Great menu, filled with options that scream ‘flavour’! I chose the “Gala Spa Salad” which included generous amounts of tender Steamed Chicken, with Green Tea Noodles, and Cress with loads of Dressing, and they’d run out of one ingredient, so thoughtfully replaced it with beetroot and ginger.
The food left me feeling healthy and invigorated.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to our requests. My 3 year old enjoyed her side of salmon, and a banana! It’s not really the place to bring children though, I have to say.

Easy parking in the weekends was a bonus.

It’s a really nice place..

We didn’t hear about this cafe before, even we live in Downtown, so it’s pretty close to our place.

Until now – 2 things I’ve tried here were – Steak Sandwich(medium rare) and Tokio Lunchbox, also I had a chance to taste ‘North Indian Eggs’ how they called and I was really surprised.

Steak was one of the best I’ve had in Auckland, it was really delicious and juicy.
Special recipe for Masala Eggs was excellent as well, i didn’t know it could be so delicious!

Good atmosphere, very friendly staff!
Me and my girlfriend enjoyed our food and coffee here as well.
Hope to come here soon again and more often.

Clean fresh decor and a busy vibe greeted us as we were shown to our table by an attentive waiter.
All press coffee masterfully prepared was brought to the table quickly and we settled in to the difficult task of trying to decide what to order from the breakfast menu.
My partner chose the poached eggs and I the north Indian eggs (mother inlaws recipe) with a side of gravlax and one of portabello mushrooms.
The poached eggs were faultless and the Indian twist to mine was devine, the gravlax just right and the mushrooms perfectly cooked.
We don’t often indulge in two coffees but they were so good we did and with an afghan biscuit.
The most expensive item on the breakfast menue was eggs bennie at $18 making a meal here exceptional value for money.
We can’t wait to come back.
