Eiffel En Eden

My favourite community French Cafe in Auckland. I was a frequent visitor when they were in Three Kings and a little less so now that they are living in Mt Eden but I still love everything they have. Gone are the products you can bring home and they don’t have as amazing pastry shelf. The…

Crave

Crave!! Have you been there? Where do I start with this amazing place? It’s a community focused cafe that have great food, provide a sense of community, free Wi-Fi, extremely comfortable atmosphere, and co-working spaces. Yes, the ever popular co-working spaces. Next to Crave is a cute little TOY STORE! All those vintage toys from…

Rosie, the Cafe

Rosie was named Cafe of the Year by the Metro Magazine 2014. Situated across the Parnell Rose Garden, it is a beautiful little cafe that does not take any reservations. It is perfect during the weekend, and even better if the weather is perfect. If you sit outside the cafe, you can see, and perhaps…

Meilleur café français à Auckland

I am very biased and I absolutely believe this is the best French cafe in Auckland. The cafe doesn’t look very flash; and in fact, tucked next to the quarry and a furniture shop. I used to come here quite often as I worked nearby. Sometimes I walk to the cafe, or if I was…

The Shelf is top of the list

My friend and I had a meeting in this new cafe called The Shelf, taking up the spot where Esquires Coffee used to be. It is, as she described, a new cafe on High Street owned by Koreans. It is a breathe of fresh air when you walk into the cafe – nicely decorated with…

Weekend Delights

Well I don’t think I need to introduce people to this – the very famous La Cigale French Market on a Saturday morning. It has always been popular with people wanting a brunch, visit the farmers market, bring your dogs there for a walk and enjoy a latte or juice. It is great on a…

How Ironique!

Have anyone been to this cafe along the Mt Eden shops called Ironique? No big signs looking from Mt Eden Road, and it looks like a tiny cafe with a few seating by the door. Until you walk inside the cafe, see the chairs and the big courtyard… I remember the many mornings we had…

Covo The Average Cafe

I don’t know if it is because I used to work in a cafe that makes me not so excited over cafes. I find them selling pretty much the same things all the time – sandwiches, paninis, some slices, cold salads… This is a cafe that is owned by a Thai Kiwi, and have been…

Calf skin with minced corn beef? Beef Lasagna gone wrong

I enjoy beef lasagna; as a dedicated fans of Garfield, I enjoy beef lasagna like Garfield does. On a hungry afternoon, I was struggling to find something I want to buy in a foodcourt. Not quite sure I want to go back to the usual fastfood, Chinese takeaway or sushi that have been sitting there…

Nachos Café Cezanne

My dearest colleague invited me to lunch today in Ponsonby and we visited my favourite cafe, Café Cezanne. I like the vibe; it has the Grey Lynn/Ponsonby type of feelings where you can just spend hours chilling. Just do nothing, chat, drink coffee, enjoy a smoke (cigarettes or more…), and if there is, enjoy some sun….
