Such a lovely and lively place to have brunch in town. It’s right by the water so in summer it’s a stunning spot. Great food, very delicious and lovely service!

The food was lovely and the service was great. A bit of a botched up with our coffee orders to be in a takeaway cup but Manager was very nice and said we can choose to pay for just one or we get another coffee to takeaway because of the slight confusion. At the end of our breakfast we were just charged for one coffee only.

We came here on a beautiful foggy morning. I discovered it accidentally on Google maps when I was searching for westhaven. It’s a lovely cafe, inside and out. One side looks over to the park beside the harbor bridge, the other towards the boats moored in the marina. There’s nautical references all through the decor which is cool. We had eggs bene (1 with bacon, 1 with salmon). The hollandaise was rich and buttery, and the perfect sauce for the delicious rosti and eggs. Highly recommend. Coffee was excellent.

Cafe with amazing view....you can see Auckland Harbour bridge and Auckland marina.
Staff are friendly, cafe clean and tidy.
Food ok and a bit pricey, but if you want to stay for a hangout for brunch with family on weekend that is a good choice for local and tourist.
I give 4 star ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ thank you for the food and the service.

Delicious food, substantial portions, high quality ingredients, attentive and friendly service, fantastic views of the city center, marina, and water. My partner and I visited for breakfast on a rainy Friday morning. We ordered one “big breakfast” and scrambled eggs on toast with a side of mushrooms… the portion size was substantial compared to other restaurants we have visited, and we are an active couple in our early 30s with pretty big appetites. It seems like a popular spot, but we managed to get a table for two without a reservation… wishing it didn’t take us two years to finally visit! We will definitely be back 😊 thank you!

This place has recently come under new management, and I can't tell you how amazing they are now. The service is great, and the food is outstanding.
I had the best French toast of my life there the other day. Because I'm allergic to banana they served it with poached apples and it came with this delicious creamy maple sauce. It was luscious!
They have an outdoor kiosk now as well for coffee to go. Got a brownie there this afternoon while walking my dog. Soooo good.
Definitely give this place a go. Divine food.

Beautiful location with parking by mariner near Auckland Harbour Bridge. Good food with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Perfect for sunset and sunrise photography too with boats and sky tower in background.

What a lovely place! The ladies were very friendly, quick, and attentive. The other people's food looked amazing. I only wanted some sweet cabinet food. It did not disappoint. The coffee was perfection. Even on a cloudy and rainy day, it was still a nice day out, with a lovely view
