    Avocado on toast with lemon and truffle salt
    Stephanie D.

    Forty Beans is a great little cafe just near the North Harbour National Park and the various tourist walks. It's in a very scenic spot and has a very community feel about it. Also lots of people bring their dogs to sit outside either before or after their trip to the park. There isn't much seating, so if you can't get a seat inside or outside, get take away and sit in the opposite park. The staff are friendly and the service is efficient. The coffee is good, not too bitter or strong, and not too milky (I order skinny latte). Breakfast is great here. There's a good menu with various options including the great avocado on toast. The truffle oil is very strong, so if you don't like truffle oil you probably won't like it! But they use plenty of avocado and the bread is thick. The muesli and yoghurt cups are also great, easy to eat and take away. I'm dying to try the coconut/mango bread toasted. It looks delicious and even comes with berries. For lunch we have tried the cajun chicken focaccia and the smoked ham and cheese focaccia. These are pretty tasty and pretty good value, either take away or to eat inside. As there is limited seating it's not the best place for large groups. But once again, if you get there early in the morning you'll have a great chance of getting a good spot. I like that this cafe is in a pretty secluded location with no other shops or buildings nearby. It's a good spot to go to to avoid the large weekend crowds of pedestrians, cars and noise.

    Pretty good muesli cookies, coffee, salad and service. Could be a bit faster and better priced. A bit pricey.

    Extraordinarily rude and obnoxious staff. Also Made snide comments about the customers in front of me after theyd left.
