I ordered a sourdough toast, two fried eggs, and smoked salmon on the side. The eggs were high quality with a rich yolk. The toast was lightly crunchy on the crust and fluffy in the middle.

I enjoyed my quick fuel stop after the gym and will be back again.

I stumbled upon Federal & Wolfe and they had a great menu, and I decided to go with their Dukkah Eggs which is a fan favourite! Included poached eggs, dukkah, free range bacon, rocket, a balsamic reduction and on a bed of sourdough toast! Accompanied by one of their fresh pressed juices called "the zinger" which had apple, pear, ginger and lemon. It was so refreshing and the colour was a pretty lime green. And their strong latte's we're creamy and rich! Deffo recommend this place for a breakfast or coffee date!

You can find this delicious breakfast café on the corner of Federal Street and Wolfe street, just like the name! They have a variety of items on their menu. You order at the counter and then can grab a table. The Grub = Dukkah Eggs $19.50. This dish comes with sourdough toast loaded with bacon, poached egg, feta and dekkah spices. This was so delicious and so filling. I highly recommend ordering this item.

Located right in the centre of Mt Eden Village, Chapter is a cool little bookstore and tea shop…read morethat is hugely popular among locals. If you're a tea lover like myself, then this is the place for you! English breakfast, Earl Grey, Vanilla Rooibus, a wide range of fruit teas, flower blends and foreign teas - there is seriously every kind of tea you can imagine in this store! Not only can you buy the teas in Chapter, you can also purchase a pot of tea while you have a quiet read or study up on your uni notes. Tea pots and other such tea accessories are also readily available and are all super cute and colourful. Chapter is a great place to find a novel gift - perfect for your nana, aunt, mum or bestie - and better yet, if you gift some of their scrummy tea to someone close to you, you can drink it too! Yesssss. Chapter also stock a hoard of novels - romance novels in particular - so not only can you enjoy a hot cuppa, but you can buy a deliciously sappy tear jerking Nick Sparks page turner at the same time. The staff at Chapter are brilliantly friendly and the owner of the store knows everything there is to know about romance novels, and can easily steer you in the right direction.

As a massive nerd, I have to say, I'm so happy this place exists…read more Cakes and Ladders is, as far as I know, Auckland's only board game cafe. They have an impressive stock of board and card games--for adults and for families--the nicest, friendliest staff you could ask for, and a comfy interior setup for your hours of board gaming pleasure. The coffee is pretty decent as well, although none of my friends nor I have tried the food menu just yet. Here's how it works: you walk in, you pick a table, and the staff start your timer. Then you can either pick a game or have one recommended to you based on pretty much whatever criteria you want, and if it's a new game to you, the (again, wonderfully friendly) staff explain the rules and setup to you. Then you play--for hours, if you want. At $2.50 an hour, it's a steal. (Also, they're currently awaiting their liquor license, so although there's no alcohol there yet, just you wait. Craft beers are on their way!) They close at 10pm, I believe, at least on the weekends, but once the booze arrives, I'm hoping they stay open a wee bit later. I'm definitely going back, often.

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!
