scarecrow

have been here with a friend twice. if you get the tea for two the teapot isn't super well designed so it tends to leak when pouring. my friend had the cheesecake and said it was nice and light but the crust was a bit too sweet. pretty pricey but their stuff is fresh and there's a whole lot of fresh produce you can get from here

there were two staff and the one who made coffee was really kind and lovely and the other one was quite rude. not coming back.

every time i walk past i get a high from the amazing smell. love the rustic vibes of this place and their simply but beautifully executed menu. the shakshuka is amazing. a wonderful choice for brunch.

i’ve come here a few times but mainly for their cabinet food, this was my first time ordering from their menu. i got the shakashouka which was absolutely divine, loved everything about the dish. the bread, the egg, sausages and the tomatoes were all great. it was a bit too big of a portion for me, very very filling, so i do wish i hadn’t added on the sausages in the end.

service was quite friendly and helpful when i had questions about the menu items, a little bit of a wait but that’s expected when you come for lunch on the weekend. overall, a pretty nice place and i would definitely come here again.

just a quick tip, you have to order at the counter first before you are seated, which was kind of confusing at first. my friend and i came here for lunch and it was pretty busy. she got the millennial bagel and i got the matakana organic eggs (scrambled) with smoked salmon. the artisan bread was really delicious, i think it was sourdough and it was super crunchy and fresh. the eggs were pretty average as i felt they were too buttery for my liking (which is beneficial if you like buttery eggs since it leaks onto the bread so it soaks up the butter). the smoked salmon was delicious as well.

delicious breakfast options. loved the mushroom omlette with truffle oil. omelette was fluffy and light, could really taste the truffle throughout. great way to start the day. great place for breakfast, coffee and lunch. highly recommend.

i really love this place! the matcha soy latte is a must try because it is divine :) they do offer more food on their menu, not limited to what is portrayed on zomato.

service was a little disappointing but not too bad.

baked eggs is our favorite in this place. cute shop you can buy a lot of organic packaged foods. they have quite limited items on their menu but they sure taste good

such a beautiful cafe to do work or catch up with friends. the staff were super friendly and attentive.

soy matcha 6/10, ($6)
the soy matcha was a bit powdery, parts were not mixed in and you can see that with the lumps on the side. i'm not a huge sugary drinks person but i still had to add sugar to it as it didn't have may sweetness.

one of the best places to have a cheesecake at a reasonable price with a reasonable size. highly recommend this place. delicious food and nice service

gifted these delicious treats by a friend. nutty, citrusy, chocolatey gooey muesli-like. taste quiet healthy, don’t think there is any flour in them.

we came here for brunch and ordered a few dishes between us. scarecrow has always been my go to for their lattés, bread and desserts but i usually get these takeaway. however, dining here is a different experience and scarecrow has a lovely rustic charm that makes you feel at home away from home.

we ordered a few main dishes between us: shakshuka (which has a vegan option too), turkish pide chicken sandwich and poached eggs on rye. the shakshuka was moreish and came with toasted pide on the side, however, the portion is small for the price. the chicken sandwich was more hefty, with enough filling to satiate but doesn't differentiate itself from toasted pide chicken sandwiches in other upmarket cafés with the exception of scarecrow's bread being housemade. finally, the poached eggs on rye. the toasted rye was fresh but the crispiness made it difficult to cut through with a fork and knife. the
eggs were lovely.

we also added some desserts to our palette by ordering a ny cheescake and a hazelnut ball. the cheescake is to die for, absolutely delicious. this is coming from someone who normally doesn't care for sweets but this cake is the exception. the blueberry compote tops it perfectly too. hazelnut ball tastes like ferrero rocher which is always a good thing.

came in for a birthday lunch with my friends. ordered some cabinet food and the soup with bread. almond croissant was super soft. the top layer was crispy and the middle was delicious. it had some sort of sweet spread inside. the smoked salmon in the turkish pide tasted amazing with the avocado. the soup was creamy and tasted really nice with the bread soaked in.

scarecrow is a funny name for a cafe, but they have put up a couple up on top to align with the name. just opposite albert park, on top of victoria street, scarecrow is a perfect location for a cafe. the place encompasses a high-end organic grocery and florist as well.
the coffee - especially the iced latte - is awesome!
i had the shakshuka which sadly comes with one over-cooked egg - do not recommend!
instead i think the actual eggs and omelettes might be a better bet.
the pain perdu looked better than it tasted. why put something as sour as rhubarb into something that’s meant to be sweet?? might be more fun if stuffed with bananas.
i’m certainly going to come back for the coffee, and to try their poached eggs - which they procure from a local farm and i heard one diner claim was excellent!

theses were my first meal in auckland new zealand, i followed on zomato app to find the best restaurant for my breakfast, so i found this restaurant and i didn’t disappoint. foods and drinks are good, also warm service.
