A friend of mine suggested it as a location for my new-parents coffee group and it has been a great location for us. I've had the flat whites and they are above-average. What makes me really happy is that they have a good supply of cronuts on a regular basis - delish! Last week I had a peppermint slice that tasted good, but was so rock hard I couldn't cut it with a knife. The staff have been friendly and attentive and accommodate our baby-sprawl without complaint. There are 2 large rooms for seating, as well as outdoor seating. There are some couches available as well, which has been nice for those of us newborn-toting mamas.

The price isn't too expensive, but it's not a cheap eat out. Good for a "going-out" breakfast. During very busy days, service is above 7 minutes, but on average, it's a short wait; not too long. Hot chocolate isn't strong, and definitely isn't weak. Perfect milk:chocolate ratio. Coffee is exceptional, creamy and strong. Would definitely recommend for a morning coffee place, and isn't too expensive for drinks. Make sure you arrive before 10 and after 10:45 as the cafe is at its most busiest, and service is slow. 4 stars.

I've been here twice now and both times, under different circumstances, I loved it…read more Came here a few months ago with my new moms coffee group on a weekday morning at 10:30. It was packed! I was surprised, given its location, but after having the coffee and food, I totally understand. There is plenty of seating, both indoors and out, depending on how you're feeling. I'd say stay indoors (on a sunny day), if you need to avoid the sun or the little kids. If you are bringing your little kids, then outdoors is the place to be. Came with the family today (Sunday), because I really wanted my husband and older son to check it out. My son (3-years-old) had a blast! There is a large outside play area (at least, for a cafe), including a boat, an airplane, a train, a tractor, a few slides, a couple tunnels, a trampoline, a play house and a couple of swings. Some of the stuff is probably geared toward the slightly older child (under 12), but there is a small slide and toddler swing for the smaller set. This place is the perfect haven for parents with small kids. The food and coffee are fantastic, and you can let the little one run around outside getting out their natural energy that you're so trying to replicate by getting your caffeine on here. We had our usual, flat whites with vanilla. My husband and I each had one, and he actually ordered another. I've never seen him do this before. The water for the table was served in little old-fashioned, glass milk bottles. The water had fresh strawberries, lemon slices and lime slices in it. So light and refreshing and just perfect for the warm morning. We also had some breakfast. They do have a kids menu, though at this particular time, we didn't order from it since our son had eaten at home. I ordered the chia seed pot because it sounded interesting. I'd never had chia seeds before, so I can't really compare it to anything, but it was delicious! The bowl was beautifully presented, with almond milk, coconut shreds, strawberries, raspberries, almonds, creme freche and edible blooms (see my picture). My husband went more simply, just the scrambled eggs on ciabatta. They were pretty damn good eggs. It's so gratifying to have scrambled eggs done well. We arrived at 9:15 and had our pick of outside tables by the play area, but by the time we left at 10:00, it was pretty full. So, get there early for good outside seating. There are some shaded areas but some in full sun. Though, they thoughtfully have some self-serve sunscreen outside to use.

A general rustic ambience is nice but a closer look reveals a somewhat grubby restaurant, Attention to detail wouldn't go amiss, not rocket science when the basics need a touch up. Think grimy floors around edges and into corners. Greasy and dust covered chandelier, plastic plants and other decor.

However, my morning commute now takes me up Grey Street and I started stopping in here for coffee. The first time I went in, I was taken with the decor and atmosphere. I felt like I wanted to come back, a lot, and to check out the menu and not just the coffee. And, I have. In terms of my usual, flat white with vanilla, this one is very good. Nice balance of coffee with vanilla flavor. At times I am frustrated by the time it takes me to get the take away coffee, but it's because this place is popular and usually there's a line of folks waiting. One time I waited nearly 20 minutes and vowed to never come back... but that didn't last for long. I do love it here. I finally got around to having breakfast here with my husband and kids, about a month ago. I'd been eyeing all the bakery case items for weeks, but ended up ordering the muesli from the menu. It wasn't standard (see picture), but it was very tasty. I'd get it again. My husband was happy with his eggs and bacon. Now that I've become somewhat "regular" here for coffee in the mornings, the staff definitely recognize me, engage me in pleasant conversation and I've gotten a few cups of cold milk on the house (I always get this for my son when I get a coffee). They also have a frequent buyer card, so I've gotten a couple free cups from cashing those in as well. Overall, if you live here or if you are visiting, this is a great cafe to check out.

It's right next door to GelatAmore. The place was packed for a Friday (around noon) but there's plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio. You line up, order and pay at the counter. Then you're given a bottle with a number as your order. There's self serve filtered water in the back. The menu is up on the walls; eggs & brekkie stuff (all day), best ugly bagels, jaffles, Paddock burgers and other stuff. For drinks, there was coffee, iced, freshly squeezed juices and Paddock smoothies. There was a few display cases filled with pastries, fritattas and salads. - Boysenberry doughnut ($4.00 NZD) - we'd read that their doughnuts were "next level". Not the case. The doughnut was nothing special. - Smoked salmon, beetroot, cress, pickled shallots and jalapeño crème fraiche ($18.00 NZD) - eggs were soft and fluffy but for me, it was a lot of egg to eat. The beets were excellent as was the smoked salmon. A little too much crème fraiche but that's nitpicking. Beautiful presentation. - Smashed avocado, fresh basil pesto and poached egg ($14.00 NZD) - I've never understood the hype on smashed avo but I think I might get it now. Terrific! The sesame bagel was a perfect vehicle for the creamy avocado. The basil pesto was an excellent addition. I'll have to try that next time I make my own avocado. Poached egg was oozy. - Bacon buddy - streaky bacon, fried egg, tomato relish and aioli ($14.00 NZD) - my dad ordered this for himself. He combined the two bagel slices to make himself a bagel sandwich. Good place for brunch. Come for the ugly bagels and drinks.
