I went here on a weekday morning and figured it would be empty but it was full and made me wonder…read moreif these people work or they just here on a work break or they just enjoying their day like I was. I ended up getting a blueberry scone and an iced cafe latte. I think each one was like NZ$7. The scone itself was a big size with lots of berries inside. I like that it came with some butter on the side. They warmed it up and so I used some of the butter and it was delish. It had a slight crust and was chewy on the inside. My iced latte was okay as I wish it had a stronger coffee flavor. They do offer a bunch of baked goods that look scrumptious and wanted to try more.

If I HAD to choose a favourite though, i'd go with mini lemon and coconut cakes - the icing isn't overly sweet and let's be honest, lemon and coconut is a match made in heaven. The coffee here is also brilliant. In fact, one of their baristas was recently named in the finalists for the metro barista of the year competition! I must admit the Takapuna (or is that Belmont?) store is still my fave but at Newmarket you have the added bonus of perusing the adjoining fabric store whilst waiting for your date.

There were 2 staff members on but service was a little slow and seemed to take quite a while to get served. We got 2 cones. One with chocolate and lemon and the other with watermelon.

After an easy mid-morning hike around Mount Eden or Maungawhau and drive around its vibrant and…read morehistoric neighborhoods, our NZ local friends (Geoffrey and Margaret) suggested grabbing coffee and snacks at Frasers. Our friends have enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and service at Frasers many times before with their other friends during weekends so they were familiar with the neighborhood. The streets were narrow, so street parking was limited; we opted to park in one of the nearby paid parking lots. This charming neighborhood evolved from its 19th-century European colonial farming and flour mills to today's commercial center on Mt Eden Road. The narrow streets of this area showed its transition from a horse-drawn bus route for business people and residents to the introduction of the electric tramway. Also, the buildings that had been built during the late 19th century now have new businesses in them, which maintain the historical vintage appearance. Walking into Frasers, we were comforted by its retro-modern coffeehouse interior and a host immediately greeted us to seat our group. The host provided us with menus and also encouraged us to take a peek at their freshly made in-house pastries. It was good to see such a varied assortment of savory and sweet products, which we all agreed would complement hot coffee beverages. Our server/host was friendly and quite expressive while describing the menu items. We placed our food and beverage orders with him, and within a few minutes, he brought us perfectly brewed coffee beverages, two at a time, from the barista. Meanwhile, because we had requested that some of our pastries be heated, he delivered them after serving the coffee. The coffee beverages were served at a perfect temperature and complemented our snack selections. We were impressed by the friendly and efficient service, the flavors and textures of the pastries we tried, and the value. However, the noise level in this coffee house seemed a bit loud, especially with the music playing, and there were times during our coffee break when our friends or we couldn't hear the entire conversation at the table without raising our voices. Still, we'd happily return if we come back to Auckland. 4.4-stars
