We were looking for a little breakfast cafe on our last day in New Zealand and crossed paths with…read morethis place. It was rainy, we were cranky....and we wanted to have a good day....and thus here we were. Americano and tea. Americano served with water to dilute to my liking (a win). Tea served in a personal press (double win!). My buddy got French toast and I got the smashed pea on multigrain (with mint, Parmesan, watercress) with smoked salmon. All of it was scrumptious. The staff were friendly and the service was fast to boot (not a common occurrence in New Zealand). I would definitely come back and, in case you were wondering, it turned out to be a Good day!

The last time I frequented Cafe on Kohi was when I lived in the area 6 years ago. This cafe by the…read morepedestrian crossing on the Kohimarama beachfront has always been quite popular. Water glasses landed on the table about the same moment as we sat down but I have to say that they should ask what you prefer - carbonated or tap. I hate fizzy water and that's what we got. I like the extra touch like offering straw hats for the sun given there is no shade there in the Summer time. Café on Kohi is part of the same group as Takapuna Beach Café and Rosie in Parnell to name a few of the Hip Groups establishments (and all my fav). They all have a similar feel with great food and great service. The place was packed but the food came quickly, the Matre-D was great value and reminded me that I could take a doggie bag home when I found the dish I chose was bigger than my appetite. My platter was made up of Pancetta, Toulouse sausage, smoked Trevally, paper thin pickles in mustard, olives and toasted sour dough. It was great and I did take some home but if there was cheese it would have been perfect. My friend had the rotisserie chicken with couscous and yoghurt and said that was good. The wait for a table is only a short wait so if you haven't been get yourself along there.

The cafe was heaving but we were luckily able to grab some chairs and along with a small side table outside. We were enjoying out fantastic (as per usual) coffee when disaster struck. Lulu took exception to a passing Jack Russell and lunged sending the table, the glasses and cups flying, amid yapping dogs and human squeals. No problem for the Kohi team, who were straight out with brooms to sweep up the debris. Glass was everywhere. Then without a blink, fresh water and new coffees were delivered to calm the humans' nerves. Great to see such fantastic service! I would highly recommend the Kohi Cafe. It's a great place to hang out for coffee, especially on a sunny afternoon when you can sit right on the footpath - just watch out for passing Jack Russells. P.S. Try the attached Store for some award-winning ice cream!

Highly recommend this place if you have little ones.

The wait was longer than I expected as there was only one person who rushed to get in front of me, but I suppose they take their time to make a good coffee here as that is what I got! The coffee came out super tasty. The cafe is cute and in a great location (right on St Heliers Bay Road). It would be a great place to bring a friend and have a chat, as it didn't seem too busy when I went in around 9 am on a weekday. I am a fan of having a cafe near the bus stop! I would totally go here again, the outdoor seating looks great and it seems like a good place to sit down with a friend or a book for an hour or two. Hopefully my next coffee here with be "to stay."

On my second visit here the service was quite different from what I remember the first time. The servers seemed to be getting through as much work as possible. Taking away your water glasses while you're still seated makes a customer feel like your rushing for them to go. The food wasn't as impressive second time round either. The pancakes... Didn't really taste like pancakes...

Open SUPER early every day for the commuters out there, the insomniacs and the crazies who just get up early. Fair trade African coffee is on offer in addition to a selection of the usual things you would expect such as muffins, sandwiches etc. I avoided the crazy world going on just a stones throw away during the Round the Bays race to happily find somewhere to read the Sunday papers in peace and quiet. There are only a few tables as they are more into the take out market so I can imagine on most weekends it gets a little busy. I was lucky to be seated alone (bit of a hangover) and had just a lovely time.

I saw a sign for the always-average Sierra Café so I pulled into the Eastridge parking lot, but thankfully saw Pandoro's sign right next door and slipped in without a second thought. I ended up hungry as well as thirsty as I waited for my flat white, and decided to upgrade my order to include a savoury muffin. I know it's a small thing and I shouldn't quibble too much, but I wasn't offered for the muffin to be heated up or served with butter, so I ended up with a very dry accompaniment to my coffee, which had to be washed down with said caffeine-infused drink at times. I should have just stuck to the drink - the coffee was lovely!

Pandoro is a familiar sight around the Eastern Suburbs…read more The Eastridge shop I think is the only one to have space seating both inside and outside. It is a popular spot for locals to meet at the Eastridge Shopping Centre and has some competition in the area with another cafe opposite. Pandoro prides itself on the quality of its food and its pies are particularly nice, with lamb and rosemary and steak and cheese both delicious. The Italian sausage roll is my favourite though, which is your normal sausage roll except longer and thinner, with cheese cooked on top of the pastry. There are many other sweet treats, with the fruit and neenish tarts both good respectively. The Mediterranean Lamb sandwiches are also great for lunch, and can be really filling if coupled with a pie.

Solid option for treats and sweets but do yourself a favor and skip the sausage roll.read more

Everything is made to a high standard and the prices are very reasonable. They have some seats inside and n the footpath, and do coffees and teas to have in or takeaway, but with the beach so close, it's a no-brainer.

To my surprise the only protein were the poached eggs; and yet is did not miss the normal meat. The poached eggs were perfect, soft, slowly running and hot.

Not only do they serve up well-made coffee, but they also have great selection of savoury and sweet baked goods such as quiches, sandwiches and brioches which are all really fresh and yummy. There are tables available to sit at whilst waiting for your coffee or to just simply enjoy your beverage and read the newspaper at. There is also a mini freezer stocked with lots of great handy frozen meals, such as vegetarian lasagne, which are relatively inexpensive and made locally a couple of shops down. Definitely a nice space to meet up with a friend for coffee or sandwich, however I'd do it around lunch time as thats when the huge coffee queues die out a bit and the atmosphere is much more relaxing.
