Black Cottage Cafe

Lovely lunch here. I really enjoy my fish cakes with salad. My sister enjoyed her snapper salad but unfortunately said it was drowned in dressing. The service was fabulous but there were so many flies which is a bit off-putting. Overall a nice experience

Black Cottage Cafe is a right hidden gem in the heart of Coatesville. Having been introduced to Black Cottage Cafe by my locally living best friends in 2020, I have been here many times since and not once have I ever been let down by the incredible team here. The ladies who are in their front of house positions are always kind, friendly and understanding if any of my friends in the group that I usually come to this cafe with have any dietary requirements and immediately offer us alternative suggestions. My two best friends and I even hiked five kilometres from their house last year in the boiling January summer heat to just have a taste of the stunning food here at this cafe as none of us had a full drivers license at the time...but now I do!! That time that we were there, we had the brunch selection. I went for the Black Cottage Breakfast and my best friends had the chicken and avocado salad and the french toast. All three of us devoured our meals, they were stunning and we did not regret that hike whatsoever! The last time that I came to Black Cottage was for a very early last minute breakfast at 7:30am. My other best friend had told us that she was coming up for a visit as she is currently away studying in the South Island. Despite being the early hours of the morning, we all had a lovely catch up over breakfast and the food did not disappoint. I was able to reserve a table with ease thanks to the help of Eva. I had the gluten free option of the french toast and it was delicious! This same group is returning in a weeks time for another catch up breakfast and we are all so, so excited to be back at this stunning cafe. Thank you so much Black Cottage! I would give you way more than five stars for your incredible food, service and environment and just for helping me get my friend group together who don’t get to see each other very much as we are all uni students or working now. :

I found the food to be overpriced and below par. $26.90 for Pork Belly Benedict and $26.90 for a chicken burger with chips. When the chef, who was passing asked how my meal was I told him it was over cooked, tough and dry. He said ok and walked on. My sons burger was good he said. Overall experience 5/10. Atmosphere was nice, decor was nice, service was below average. Prices are too high for the quality of the food. I wouldn’t stop there again

Great food and great location. This is a local favourite and quite busy most of the weekends. Love the vibe and the outdoor seating. Staff is friendly and helpful. I always go for the big breakfast when ordering.

Honestly, the friendliest staff! I grabbed a quick coffee, and they were sweet and friendly as soon as I walked in! The waitress took my order and even brought it to me outside the cafe! And may I add that the coffee was absolutely amazing!Service: 5/5

What an amazing surprise! Excellent range of delicious dishes and deserts. Friendly and efficient staff and great cottage ambience. Looking forward to many more meals here.

recently visited Black Cottage cafe for lunch in Coastville Village, Auckland, and let me tell you, appearances can be deceiving. From the outside, it resembles a contemporary cottage by the highway, but once you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and cozy ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. Upon entering, I sought the hostess's recommendation, and she enthusiastically suggested their signature dish, DUCK A L'ORANGE. This delectable creation features a perfectly prepared Confit Duck Leg accompanied by Dauphinoise Potato, Sauteed Green Beans, Candied Orange, and a tantalizing Citrus Jus. To complement my meal, I decided to indulge in a refreshing Hazy IPA, which the hostess highly recommended. Meanwhile, my wife opted for the Salmon Benedict, a dish that boasted a medley of flavors. It consisted of house-smoked salmon, mustard-parmesan potato rosti, creamed spinach, beetroot puree, and originally, poached eggs. However, she made a delightful twist and changed them to scrambled eggs. As for my order, the Duck A L'Orange was a true culinary delight. The combination of the succulent duck and the creamy Dauphinoise potato was simply mouthwatering. The rich and tangy citrus jus elevated the dish to a whole new level, adding a delightful touch to each bite. On the other hand, my wife's order was a burst of flavors. The scrambled eggs, perfectly cooked to a creamy and soft consistency, blended harmoniously with the tantalizing smoked salmon. And let me tell you, the potato rosti served as a remarkable companion to this flavorful ensemble. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Black Cottage cafe to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience. While it may be slightly on the pricier side, the quality and taste of the food unquestionably justify it. The impeccable customer service further enhances the overall experience, and due to its popularity, it's advisable to make reservations in advance to secure your spot. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you – step inside Black Cottage cafe, and you'll discover a hidden gem waiting to satisfy your taste buds with its delightful dishes and cozy atmosphere. Bon appétit!

My workmate and I showed up to a delivery for a wedding at the Coatesville hall an hour early so we thought let's go have breakfast and so glad we did! Although pricey, it was worth every cent. Kua kii te puku! Mauri Ora!
