Big Sur

Monday afternoon bite. Really lovely staff and a cosy cafe. This is great for dogs. Vegan and vegetarian friendly. They have an indoor and outdoor seating arrangement. There were seats available on arrival. Came at 1.30pm asked the staff if the kitchen was still open, it was. Had the kimchi bowl and the El grande taco with a side of kids eggs. The kimchi bowl was tasty food with a great needed kick. The tacos were not as exciting, ingredients were lovely and fresh however it felt like it was missing a spicy tangy salsa, it also fell apart when attempting to pick it up. The staff were kind, hospitable and happy to be at work. Overall I would most definitely come back to try something new. Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian friendly. Great options. Parking: You may be able to find free street parking. Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly

Went to Big Sur for breakfast with my partner. Expectations were not only met but massively surpassed. Big Sur has a really nice calm and chilled atmosphere about it that was absolutely perfect. I got the poached eggs and she got the crepes. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was fantastic. We ended up sharing both meals as we loved them both! Highly recommended and we will without a doubt be back again.

We sat outside at the back. Not a fancy setting but good enough for basking in the sun. They got a good selection of vegetarian food with a little twist of Asian food. We had a tasty omelette and Banh Xeo which was very bland, almost not seasoned at all. As Vietnamese Crepes, Banh Xeo normally comes with a dipping sauce but served without it. Their coffee was beautiful and the lady staff was nice too.

Nice settling, friendly staff and the orange cake was delightful. However we waited 20 minutes for coffee that was so burnt we couldn't drink it. Sorry to say that is the worst coffee I've been served in Auckland.

Great, moderately priced, healthy and vegetarian fare with friendly service and terrific coffee. A really good spot for a brunch that's a little bit different and a little bit healthy. Vegetarian and, yes, even vegan options for the plant-based people in your life. A surprisingly multi-ethnic menu, with vegetarian twists on old favourites a yummy portobello mushroom benedict through to Indian Upma topped with a perfectly poached egg, Vietnamese crispy rice pancake Banh Xeo, Bean Tacos and more! Make sure you ask for an extra shot in your coffee, they make them a bit lightweight for the serious coffee drinker.

This is my new favourite cafe. The owners are so nice and the food is absolutely 5 out of 5. Every time I come, it never disappoints. I stopped in during lockdown to pick up some sandwiches and rembered how much I missed them. So glad to be able to go back whenever we like now. Thank you for making such yummy food :- Vegetarian options: Some cafes have vegetarian options that feel like they have no imagination. Big Sur stomps all over them

Really delicious and friendly as service! The French Stroggy was delicious and a nice variation on a breakfast dish. Hot chocolates were also excellent.

Absolutely love Big Sur. The name, the food, the location, the outdoor area, the people who run it. Food is definitely made with love. Everything on the menu is totally delicious. Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian so it's right up my alley

Amazing Food and Fabulous Service: This place is must visit for ones who like vegan or vegetarian food. I am thrilled by the food I had there and will definitely going to continue my visits there. I love this place :

Really enjoyed the vegan steak and mushroom pie! Very fresh. Also appreciated the quiet space out the back where we could catch up with old friends away from any loud music or traffic noise.
