The service was really good - attentive, efficient, and explained each coffee selections, etc. It was very busy inside, and the noise level was loud, but manageable. This was my first time doing coffee tasting and it was really enjoyable. I highly recommend it. We also got there waffles which was very delicious! We loved one variety of coffee a lot so we purchased a bag. Would love to come back here again.

The Hangar was a nice surprise.

As far as food is concerned, we both ordered the burritos and loved it especially with the barbecue hot sauce that they provided upon request and the aioli that was served to compliment it. The service was great. We didn't have a long wait to get seated and our waitress was very polite. My husband ordered the coffee flight and we both enjoyed the variety presented. We also enjoyed the ambiance. It was cute with a lot of nice eye candy and artwork to keep customers amused. Good job Hangar!

Ugly Bagels are amazing and everything about our visit was great…read more We sat at the bar and chatted with the Barista/ cashier who gave us a quick intro of how the bagels are made in house and at the moment. Does not get freshest or better than this. The coffee was great and so was the cream cheese and jam bagel which has a super generous serving of topping Kudos for the gluten free bagels which taste just like a regular bagel. The locals come here as well as the tourist which makes it a great place to people watch or chat with other bagel enthusiasts.

Everyone felt super professional, attending to us enough that we wanted for nothing, but giving us enough space to enjoy our conversation. The food was nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. The chai was one of the better I've had in NZ. Price wise, the menu does well to accommodate a range of budgets with brunch options ranging from $13-30 ball park.

The staff were very helpful to guide me through the best options for my taste and dietary requirements. I chose the Earth Bowl, but not the slow egg. I had a plain poached egg. It was served very nicely with generous rocket, some roasted cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini and carrot. It would have had hummus but I swapped that out for basil oil. It was a nice lunch.

It opened in 1988 and while the neighborhood has changed (and calmed down a bit) and the patrons have changed (and are a bit more mainstream), it's a lively little spot with a fun vibe. Food is served around the clock starting with pastries and pancakes in the morning and moving to burgers and nachos later in the day. What's awesome about Midnight Espresso is that they are open late. Way late. 7:30 am weekdays and 8:00 on weekends, closing at 1:00 am. There's music, there's a fun vibe, there's some history. Five stars. This was the best flat white I had all week across five cities of New Zealand. [Review 468 of 2024 - 119 in New Zealand - round number 21500 overall]

This place was cozy and eclectic with a chalkboard menu, displays of food and pastries, and people coming in and out for breakfast. My friend and I were impressed with the selection of food, lots of vegetarian and vegan options. My Midnight Big Brekky was really good and perfect for the day. Note: they don't have almond milk, but they do have oat and soy milk options.
