Delicious toast but the chai latte is too sweet.

Great cosy cafe for a read and a coffee, I typically do my work here during the quiet times, the staff are very accommodating and the coffee is great.

Visiting from Christchurch. Came very hungry, and was not disappointed. Warm friendly atmosphere and great service. Food was the best I've had in years, maybe ever. 10/10, highly recommend!

Came in with some hungry lads and was greeted with good service! Good choices in the menu and even better with the food! Some of the best brunch i’ve had in a long time. Would recommend!

Came here with a friend - love the vibe. Mixing the chocolate shot and the chocolate stick into my mocha was a lot of fun. Food was beautiful. Just wish there were more fruit topping for the waffles, it was a bit sweet
They have a good setup of 2-seater booths for those who want to work/ study

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Shelf during our stay in Auckland. Our coffees were delicious, and their menu has a great selection, from simple healthy items to larger breakfasts. We had the scrambled eggs on toast and the homemade granola with yogurt - both delicious! Highly recommended.

Tried chicken sandwiches and hot white chocolate. Food was good. But hot chocolate was not hot enough. The ambiance is good. Caramel bite was too hard.

I swung by The Shelf on Sunday around 2pm to grab a quick bite with my brother. Let me tell you, the place was hopping! Luckily, we managed to snag a table towards the back. The staff wasted no time in taking care of us and getting our order.
Now, let's talk about the menu. It's seriously got something for everyone. We ended up going for the Chicken Fettuccine and the Kimchi BBQ Pork Belly with Scrambled Eggs. And, we couldn't resist trying the Orange and Passion Fruit Ade and the Tim Tam Freak Shake. Both the food and drink was out of this world! Both dishes were bursting with flavor, and the portion sizes were just right. That Pork Belly? Oh my, it was heavenly! And the Ade? So refreshing! But let me tell you, the Tim Tam Freak Shake was a showstopper. Talk about creativity in a glass!
As for the vibe, it was totally chill and inviting. If you're looking for a great spot to grab a snack or quick lunch, I can't recommend The Shelf enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Super cozy space on the inside, just a little hidden away in High St. We had the French toast and the waffles - both were absolutely delicious, good portion, fresh cooked, nice and crispy with candy floss on top. The only criticism I have would be to add a bit more maple syrup, but honestly it was totally perfect otherwise. They also had a lot of cabinet food and drink options that looked amazing.
The service was quick and helpful, and they also had free WiFi that was quite fast. Already planning on going back sometime soon :)
