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. cafeopened 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 thecafeis 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.

this buzzy littlecafeis situated in eastridge shopping mall in orakei. the open interior makes thecafelook 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.

thecafeis 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 littlecafeand 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.
