    Organic coffee.
    Tresna L.

    Don't let the address deceive you. You'll need to head around the back and ascend a flight of stairs to discover this bright and big space. There's plenty of vintage tables and chairs and a service area that holds a giant case of house made cakes, sweet treats and salads. Then, the Pièce de résistance, the pie warmer filled with what looked to be some of the most unique flavour combinations I've ever seen (Coconut chicken and cashew anyone?). I only visited for a coffee (it was okay) but really enjoyed the friendly and eager service. Working in the bright welcoming space for a little while was a real pleasure. Next time I will only have eyes for the pies!

    Lovely cafe and friendly service. Entrance is actually on St Patrick's Square right across from the little cathedral. I really wanted a lamb pie for my last meal in Auckland and this turned out to be the perfect spot. The best pie I've tasted on this trip (of 3). The spices, lamb and lentils and bits of carrot were really good. And unlike other pies, the meat to gravy ratio was heavily in favor of meat! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a meat pie. The coffee is good and strong too. I love how they give you a teeny pitcher of hot water so you can add as much water as you like to your coffee...and there is free wifi!

    Pork belly pie - damn good!

    The best pies I have ever eaten. I know, big call but I'm sticking to it. Before I go any further, I just want to warn you that the pies here are expensive (around $9), but with flavours like lychee duck curry and truffle mash & venison, it's not hard to understand why and in my opinion, they're worth every penny. The biggest problem at Heaven's Scent isn't the price, it's deciding which pie(s) to choose! In the end we opted to share the pork belly and the port wine beef & blue cheese but if the two we ate are anything to go by, I don't think you could wrong. As we all know, one of the keys to a good pie is the pastry and theirs was spot on. Buttery and flakey - just as it should be. The pork pie had a subtle spice - a bit of a Moroccan vibe - and the meat was incredibly tender. But the beef pie...oh my goodness! The combination of blue cheese and beef was genius - the cheese adding a sharpness to the rich, braised beef. At the end of the day, the decision was unanimous, beef all the way! We ordered our pies to takeaway but the space itself is pretty cool. The café is upstairs behind Albert Street, in a large open plan loft (it would make a killer apartment....if only). The have plenty of cabinet food, other than pies, and a small menu as well. Coffee is Eighthirty. The staff are lovely too. I met the owner and we chitchatted away. Turns out they started off selling their pies at markets around Auckland and it just took off! Now they do catering as well and are planning to open a small store upstairs, which will sell local artisanal products as well as their pies family size.

    Everything in the cabinet is delicious; every pie is delicious; the coffee is delicious. My favourite things are the afghans in the jar by the till. The window seats would be the perfect place to while away an afternoon with a book or a laptop if you had time to kill in the city. The old wooden floors make the place feel like an old ballet studio and the windows open out onto beautiful old St Patrick's church. The service is super slow though. If you order a muffin or cookie to go, they will take five minutes to put it in a bag and bring it to you. Then your coffee will come ten minutes later. There are often big groups from the nearby offices in the morning, so check if they've just ordered before you if you're in a hurry. The stairs are killer, too. There is no way you can get down them gracefully. Prepare to clomp down them and make a racket.

    Baked goodies.

    Ok, I'm from Hawaii and occasionally fly to Auckland with my wife, but every time I do it is a must to stop by at Heaven Scent for MEAT PIES! God, I love them! They always have interesting flavors to try. The beef/blue cheese pie is my favorite. If you really like their food, they have a freezer stocked with pies you can take home! Yes, you can bring them to Hawaii, just keep the receipt for customs. They also have delicious, fresh salads. The staff is always super friendly and ready to talk story. Go here.

    This gem of a cafe hides well but don't be fooled by the tiny door or the long staircase--upstairs is a glowing attic space bustling with life. My partner was skeptical of the praise other reviewers gave the meat pies but came away saying they were beyond amazing (talking about them some hours after we had left). Their quiche was also excellent and their Earl Grey of particularly high quality. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. Because they are busy and serve quality food it took some time for our food to arrive so don't come looking for a quick lunch. However, to do the food justice you need time for a good long sit down lunch anyway. Absolutely would return and recommend to a friend.

    The pork pie !! Delicious

The ambiance was vibey and loved that I was sitting outside, but still covered from the sun. The waiters were so nice and were able to answer any questions I had. I ordered an iced hazelnut oatmilk latte and a fried chicken benedict and they were delicious! The latte was the perfect drink to wake me up for a busy day ahead! They definitely do eggs benedict different but it was still so tasty. Instead of the usual english muffin, they used an herb rostis, which is a crispy hash brown round. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy. The herb rostis was also crispy and paired well with the creamy poached eggs! I miss this meal so much and dreaming of having this again the next time I go back to Auckland!

I love that they offered both still water or sparkling for the table. I ordered the salmon benedict and it was delicious! Their menu offers gluten free as well as dairy free options. Vegetarian or vegan? They have options for you too. I ordered an Americano and it was full bodied and came in a large mug. I only wish we'd had more time in Auckland so I could come here again.

Our server was super sweet and attentive until we placed our orders. We never saw her again, no mention she was leaving for the day (I could see her inside on her cell phone and changed with a backpack). Our food was delivered and the other server didn't seem to notice (or care) that our water glasses were empty, as I found out that she too were on her way out of work. We didn't get water refills until the check came, in which is was a third server and then it took probably 2mins for her to run our card because she was busy setting tables and chatting with coworkers. The food here was amazing and filling- large portions, but the Mac n cheese was disappointing. I would give this 4 stars, but due to the fact that the servers are more interested in going home and chatting with coworkers than taking care of their guests (at one point we were the only table in the whole place and still couldn't get a water refill), this place is getting only 2 stars. It's got potential if it gets new staff.

We had no idea that the request would be so difficult to fill, but were quite impressed with the lengths she took to make our meal enjoyable. The rest of our meal was delicious food & great service. I read the previous reviews. I would recommend that give this place another chance.
