Service could be tweaked, coffee is average and the food is sensational! Busy place, everyday of the week.

Scullery was so awesome that I made a point of coming back the very next morning. Probably should have tried somewhere else, but was drawn back for their Eggs Benedict. Sublime. Way to often Eggs Benedict end up being a disaster for various reasons, not at Scullery! Delicious, eggs done perfectly and I especially enjoyed the Vegetarian version. Yes, I know, I'm an Omnivore. I'm just saying that you can tell the chef is Awesome because the meat was proved unnecessary. Period. Full stop. Prices were very reasonable given the exchange rate (US vs NZ). Literally the only drawback I could find about this place is parking appears to be relatively hard to come by, just street parking. It's a very busy street.

Interiors are great, fantastic stuff on display, friendly and attentive staff - especially on the super busy and packed Sunday morning. Coffee and food was there before you know it. I had the avo mash with the perfectly poached egg. We will definitely be back. Could have been five stars, but it was too noisy to be comfortable. I had to fight off feeling rushed and on edge as I read the Sunday papers. Maybe on a quieter afternoon, everything will come together. They have the best cinnamon rolls in New Zealand.

I can't believe I haven't heard of this place earlier. What an absolute treat!…read more I stopped in here last Friday lunch when it was cold and blustery out and I was in desperate need of soup. As per, I was in a bit of hurry so I was chuffed that their daily soup, Tomato and Leek Soup with Cheesy Toast, was available takeaway. Whilst waiting for my cuppa soup, I grabbed one of the only seats available and took it all in. Stanley's was absolutely packed; there were ladies who lunch, businessmen in suits, grandmas enjoying a cuppa and a hipster teen out with his mother. It struck me that this is the kind of place where everyone feels comfortable. The interior is simple, clean and fuss free with ceiling to floor windows that make it beautifully light inside (even when it is miserable outside). Of course, there are also exposed light features but in this case they work brilliantly with the fresh, white interior. Within 10minutes my takeaway soup had arrived with the bag of cheesy goodness and boy, was I excited. When I got home, I transferred the piping hot soup to a bowl and noticed that they had served it with fresh sage and a drizzle of cream. The little things really can a difference. The soup smelt absolutely devine and tasted equally as good; thick and hearty with a rich tomato flavour. Combined with the cheesy toast this was most definitely a substantial lunch. I was satisfied, full and ready to steam through an afternoon of work! I will most definitely be back, on the reg.

If you want to eat in they have an excellent menu with old fashioned favourites such as savoury mince.

There were empty tables, at least half a dozen, and I was on the brink of asking when the man who watered us said "hey, wanna move to a better table"? OH THANK GOODNESS. After that, he made us feel looked after and treated us really well. We think there was some weirdness with the young woman as she tried to muscle another couple trying to get sat. Anyways, moving on! I ordered the Turkish Cilbir Eggs and my partner ordered Eggs Benedict with bacon. For coffee, we ordered an Americano and a flat white. Everything was delicious. Vulcan Lane was quiet, but this is mid-January so we expected everything to be quiet. The great waiter and great food ended our experience on a high note.

Formally Dida's, Little Red Cup have halved the cabinet space and doubled the seating (smart move), which means it's now a pretty good spot for groups. What is left of the cabinet is filled with delicious (and rather huge) sangas, wraps and savoury pastries. There is also a fair number of good-looking sweat treats. For my first visit, I played it safe and ordered the vegetarian sandwich, which they ever so kindly toasted for me. As far as sandwiches go, i've gotta say this one was pretty up there - layer upon layer of thinly sliced, grilled vege, just the right amount of cheese and creamy mayo, all in between two think slices of focaccia AND given it's size, I thought it was a steal at $8. The decor, on the other hand, is a bit predictable - exposed light filaments, pictures frames randomly placed on a feature wall - but what really got me was the slide show picture frame on the counter of menu items. I don't know why these rub me the wrong way so much but they do. Perhaps a weee bit tacky... Anyway, this certainly won't stop me from going back. After all, a good sanga can be hard to find!
