Tucked away, inside the fruit and vege section of Ponsonby Market is Eightthirty Coffee Roasters…read more This place is tiny, yet they roast their beans on site, which I think is pretty cool. Want to know what else is pretty cool? I figured out that if you buy a coffee from a roastery your chances of it being bloody great increase exponentially. Well, at least that's what I've found and Eightthirty is no exception. They seem to hit the nail on the head every time. Rich, perfectly extracted espresso and velvety smooth milk. I only wished I lived closer! If you like coffee, you need to get here ASAP!

These guys are specialise in serving high strength milk fixes like the short poor flat white, hard man, real man etc etc. Not to be forgotten is the cabinet which sits looker's right of Katie. Particular attention should be paid to anything with chorizo or lamb in it. A true institution.

The staff were lovely although…read moreaccent was a little hard to understand, plus they give you a coffee card but your not allowed to take it away with you which I found odd because I've never come across that before. However found them very accomodating with our order which was the Big Breakfast they gave us an extra egg instead of sausages and it was all really tasty. Will happily go there again but first thing in the morning is definitely quieter. Price wise was ok for quality basically in par with your standard cafes.

Coffee was great!…read more Walked in and a girl was working the counter/machine. She was chatting with another girl. I thought she could've acknowledged me more/better but not a biggie. Coffee is no longer "pay as you see fit", it is a set price. No biggie either but just wanted to let you all know. I would go again - good coffee, good prices!

Visiting New Zealand for about a week, my friends & I stayed in Auckland CBD. We tried out several…read morecoffee shops throughout the trip and this is the only one we visited twice; that being said, we loved it! From the quality of the coffee beans (I brought a bag to take home it was so good :)), to the spectacular customer service (the mate who assisted us both times was extremely helpful, interactive, and made us feel so welcome even though we'd only just met) to the fantastic choice of sweets. All in all, if I called Auckland home this would definitely be my go-to coffee shop. Cheers!

What would a Sunday morning be without a late-morning brew? Fortunately if you decide to spend your…read moreSunday morning wandering the La Cigale French Markets in Parnell, then 'the Black Shack' have got you covered for your coffee fix. Using trusty 'Gravity' coffee beans, the folks at 'the Black Shack' make strong and delicious coffee at just the right drinking temperature. My mother was similarly impressed, pronouncing her coffee as a 'good solid antipodean flat white - just as we like it'. The coffee was not only tasty, but also efficient - after taking your order, they let you know how long it will be so you can keep wandering around the market until it is ready. And if you've forgotten to take cash out for the market, then don't fret - they offer cash withdrawals for a fee of $3.

We ordered a cake for my daughter's 5th birthday the same day. Ordered at 8am, was supposed to be ready at 5pm. When I arrived they admitted they had completely forgotten about it! They charged half price and delivered to our house which was appreciated given the circumstances. Not ideal as we weren't able to enjoy the awesome look of cake for that long before doing the candles, cutting and getting to bed. The cake itself was awesome with chocolate ganache and piled high with berries on the top. Would go again as long as forgetting orders isn't a regular thing.

Beautifully presented and devilishly decadent cakes, pies, tarts and donuts line the shelves just waiting to be devoured.

My boss shouted me lunch here and we feasted on a Deli tasting platter of olives, specialty cheeses, cured meats and dips. Added to this was a huge plate of salads from the counter, roasted vegetable salad, lentil, couscous and the freshest green salad. What a treat
