It is like having lunch at your cool aunt's place. Homestyle fabulous! Compared to the other options nearby, this sunny little glass front cafe is a little piece of heaven. The ladies who own it are super friendly, and say hello by name whenever I stop by. They do fabulous catering, and their morning tea is to die for (warm just baked cheese scones.... savory tarts with cumin and kumera... excuse me, I'm drooling...) At lunch time they always have an assortment of interesting and healthy salads -- tons of vegetarian options, and you can mix and match as many as you want in a container. One of my favorite options of late is the spicy eggplant. It's half an eggplant that's been roasted, scooped out, mixed up with spices and whatnot, and put back in the skin. I LOVE eggplant, and this is as good as it gets!!! I always find it hard to resist their beautiful cakes. I tend to buy a slice with the idea of bringing it home to share with my husband for dinner, but sometime around my afternoon tea I end up starting to sample it. I've had the carrot cake, which was delicious, and another lemon cake thingy which was also to die for. Check out their Facebook page where they advertise their salads and other goodies for the day! Worth a trip out if you're trekking around Mangere domain, or on your way back from an airport pickup!

I came here on a whim while I was waiting for my car to be fixed. What a lovely place to just find…read more This is a multi level, multi room cafe. Yes it sounds strange, but imagine an old two story house turned into a cafe. The first floor is the cafe as seen from the street plus a second room. The upstairs is a room with a big table that could be used for book club meeting and a kids play room. Since I went there on a Thursday around 11 the kids had a loud rowdy command over the second floor. The food: great choices of both pastries and salads. I had the chickens club sandwich with chips, while the bf had a breakfast egg dish. But let me backtrack to my chips - absolutely delicious, like unexpectedly that a cafe would have some of the best chips I've had. The other food was great as well. Luscious cafe left a very nice cozy feeling with me. I would definitely go back.

It is a narrow…read morecafe....but possesses some length; hence backroom seating as well as an upstairs area affords Luscious Cafe quite a "spacious" feel. And within 10 minutes of my arrival, the space & staff were sorely tested as a late lunch rush developed. I ordered the Luscious Mince on Toast with a bottled juice & a large mocha (of course) for later. My mince on toast duly arrived with a poached egg perched precariously atop. The egg looked a tad forlorn & was slightly over cooked; the mince however was tasty & plentiful. Delish. I ordered a peach & passionfruit slice to go with my mocha - both were divine. Although not exactly Luscious- I would give this cafe 3/5 for quality of food, but 5/5 for the lovely staff who held themselves with aplomb during the afternoon rush which I'm sure must happen every Sunday. People know where to go to find good food, great coffee & awesome service. I'll return here...soon!

The café is intimate and chic without being pretentious. And why don't more places stock National Geographic magazines? This is a great place for small business meetings or a caffine pick-me-up.

The service is wonderful and the staff seem happy to be working there (although they could take orders a wee bit faster sometimes). There are plenty of different seating options, either out the front or out the back - both providing different atmospheres. The food always looks amazing - even when I order food 'off the menu' (i.e. just make up an order). They take pride in the food they offer their customers and ensure that it not only tastes amazing but looks like it tastes amazing!! They also have amazing cabinet food, with gluten free options for those that need them. They are also responsive to images/comments on Instagram which is an added bonus, making customers feel like they're wanted and welcome in store.

I love this....my "physique", not so much ;) Entering here is basically like entering Whoopie Pie Heaven. They've taken an American classic and added a kiwi twist with flavours such as Hokey Pokey Chocolate, Anzac Cookie, Tangelo and Mixed Berry, Lamington...and the list goes on. They have two pie sizes, too, depending on your hunger/sweet tooth levels. "Whoopie Pops" are also on offer- a mixture of the pie and filling dipped in white chocolate. Can't reallllly go wrong there. Also awesome: dairy free, egg free and gluten free options available #winning.

I had actually never even seen a whoopie pie either, so I was quite excited about this new Kiwi take on a classic American treat! Once I heard it was two cakes sandwiched together with a creamy filling, I was absolutely hooked! My sister and I decided that we would try this place out and we are very glad we did. [Side note: make sure you go on an empty stomach because one Whoopie pie is filling!] We tried the 'Heroic' whoopie pie which is hazelnut and chocolate flavoured and the 'Playful' whoopie pie which consists of peanut butter and chocolate chunks. I was somewhat expecting a dry cake, but in fact it was incredibly moist! The filling just makes it a whole lot better! As well as selling whoopie pies, they also sell 'Whoopie Pops' (which look so nice in-store), hot drinks, milkshakes and ice cream sundaes - would could be more perfect?

It was rainy, we were cranky....and we wanted to have a good day....and thus here we were. Americano and tea. Americano served with water to dilute to my liking (a win). Tea served in a personal press (double win!). My buddy got French toast and I got the smashed pea on multigrain (with mint, Parmesan, watercress) with smoked salmon. All of it was scrumptious. The staff were friendly and the service was fast to boot (not a common occurrence in New Zealand). I would definitely come back and, in case you were wondering, it turned out to be a Good day!
