the daily mission

nice location, easy to find car park. hot chocolate taste pretty good, foods delicious and ingredients are fresh,just a bit slow. cafe opened the whole door, so it's pretty cold and windy both inside and outside.....hope owner can prepare some blanket or heater for customer, then i will definitely give 5stars.

lovely location with plenty of parking. outside the cafe is still renovating so can be noisy. once it’s completed should be a great place to chill.

the food tasted great, very delicious. will be back again.

the absolute worst service i received in my 20+ years of being in new zealand. waited around 10 mins to even be greeted by the barista, to which she was quite polite - she kindly asked us to find a table and the waiter will be with us shortly. pakeha woman came by after 5 minutes to 'clean' the table, or should i say attempted to: one circular motion with a towel that was barely a second. following that, she proceeded to leave without addressing the table at all - no water, no menus, absolutely zero indication of serving.

after 10 minutes, we decided to get the menu ourselves, seeing as the place seemed relatively busy. at the 20 minutes mark, the waiter continued to ignore us, and only responded after multiple attempts of 'excuse mes'.

at this point, we were a bit annoyed and let the waiter know we had not been even addressed in the almost half hour we had been in the store. the waiter then had the audacity of saying "well how about you go up to the front, we're really busy". wow. absolutely no words. i have also worked front of house at a busy restaurant before and i understand how busy it can get, but i was shocked by the attitude and condescending tone used by the waitress.

how she got a hospitality job is beyond me, unless some training and management changes, we will not be returning here and will be letting our community know about our experience today.

note: was not asked for vaccine pass at all

really lovely staff here who look as though they enjoy what they do and work as a team. favourite spinach + cheese scone to date. super fresh and jam provided too 🤤

delicious food, big portions and fantastic coffee! really enjoyed the scrambled eggs and big breakfast.

both coffee and food are great and in good present , we just can’t wait to dig in and forgot to take a photo :). we love the indoor and outdoor flow, enjoying a nice weather.

this buzzy little cafe is situated in eastridge shopping mall in orakei. the open interior makes the cafe look very spacious.

their menu is pretty standard. i tried the chicken burger and wagyu burger, both were really tasty. the buns were grilled with a slight crisp, with a scent of olive. the chicken fillet was juicy and tender, flavoured nicely with the avocado purée and other vegetables. the wagyu was very meaty and moist as well.

both came in decent portions. priced at the medium higher end.

wouldn’t recommend on their coffee, the flat white i had was slightly too strong and the presentation was quite poor.

service was prompt, however improvement could be made in attentiveness. our table weren’t wiped after the last customer.

their meal is gorgeous, coffee as well!!!

we ordered the chicken burger with fries and the steak with salad and fries. the portions sizes were good and both dishes were tasty and the steak was tender. for drinks we had the chocolate frappe and iced latte which, again, were good in size and taste.

will be back when in the area.

there were three of us. a few empty tables but not tidied up (plates, cutleries of previous dinners were still left on table). the barista (perhaps owner) saw us waiting to be seated.
she was serving someone else, in fact asked me to move aside so she could pass and serve that coffee. all good in that, obviously she could see we were waiting for a table. after delivering that coffee, she completely ignored us and went behind the counter and carried on her barista role. totally no eye contact.
so we approached another waitress who was also behind the counter. this lady was nice and came to clear our table and took our orders.
this was our first visit. a bad start but the food were nice especially my grilled chicken and chorizo salad. it was quite a big portion. this could be nicer if the chorizo was mild or medium but it was a bit too spicy. coffee was nice too. we told the lady server we had zomato gold when we placed our order but our friend paid the bill and forgotten to present the zomato gold benefit.
i would have given a 5 rating if we felt welcomed but not. the food was good so will give it a 4. it is not very pleasant to visit a cafe/restaurant and felt not welcomed. pretty sad that common courtesy is not even there.
this is a zomato gold restaurant. join zg with this promo cod littletd to get your discounted membership.

the cafe is located at one of the entrances to eastridge shopping center but can be a little hard to find if the walls are up, just keep an eye out for the tables and umbrellas. quite a bit of seating outside and few tables inside.

a nice little cafe and they have an interesting selection of food, particularly the albanian scrambled eggs. however, i decided to try the mince on toast. mince had a nice flavour and the eggs over the whole thing made it more decadent. the hot chocolate there was also quite nice with a good flavour.

they also do have cabinet food inside by the counter if the menu items weren't appealing.

had a good read of the menu and thought we’ll give it a go with zomato gold. the place looks new. awesome allpress coffee and friendly staff. my partner got a burger and i ordered a grill chicken salad. both were very yummy and good portion too!

the food is absolutely delicious and the service is stellar. i ordered the albanian scrambled eggs and i don't think i've ever had better breakfast dish. they cater really well for gluten-free and dairy-free, whilst also serving a sausage other than pork!! 
highly recommend and may just become a regular to this subtle-yet-brilliant gem.

always a delight to bring friends here for a nice brunch. the paleo waffle is so nice and the albanian scrambled eggs is a stay on favourite!

food was yummy! a tad cold sitting outside, could do with some heat but service was friendly. zomato gold member and had no problems using it. very pleased. will return.
