Good Day

I’ve realized how much I enjoy these casual neighborhood spots. The staff exude an easygoing kindness, and as a newcomer, I feel like a welcomed stranger. Most of the regulars don’t even need to place their orders— the servers already know their favorite drinks and dishes. I hear this is what they call Kiwi style.nnThe food is simple yet far from boring, with layers of rich flavors. Today, I tried their new summer special—refreshing and delightfully light.

I've been coming here for my coffee and cheese scone combo for a few years now.nI must say, they make the most delicious cheese scones I have ever eaten. And yummy coffee to match. The coffee is always consistent across the team, I always enjoy every sip.nnJackie owner she's very thoughtful, shows kindness and empathy in every conversation, not only to me but all her customers. Shout out to the team as well for their wonderful, warm and kind service!nnI'm about to relocate out of town and I will miss this place for their wonderful service, coffee and of course ... cheese scones!

Excellent coffee, but the takeaway for a long black is served without a skeeve, which makes holding the ucp a challenge being too hot

Coffee is coffee right? Not at Good Day, greeting is warm and genuine, scones are delicious and freshly made, coffee excellent... good to this pointnnBut then I was hit with the WOW factor!nnAs soon as I was seated, a small carafe of water was placed on the table, coffee arrived with a delicate super delicious Christmas mince pie to accompany it curtsey of the cafe .. unexpected! the thoughtfulness and generosity were absolutely appreciated and valued.nnTHe cafe was full of very relaxed and happy diners... Certainly would have no hesitation recommending this Cafe and their lovely staff...

A small cafe in the beautiful suburb of Ōrākei. We only went there because the cafe is very highly rated and rightly so.nnThe staff is super friendly and considerate. We went around lunch time on Sunday when the cafe was packed but we managed to secure seats outside in the cold and our drinks order was taken almost immediately. Outdoor seaters are provided with blankets to keep warm.nnLooking at the jaunty crowd and aromatic smelling food, we were ready to battle the cold to try it out. Little did we know, that the staff would request us to move into a table inside when it became available, even when we didn’t request for a table inside. So thoughtful!nnWe ordered 2 coffees flat white & Cap both were very well made and we also got the green smoothie, which was delicious.nnFor mains, we got the doorstop toastie was so scrumptious, the bread was crispy but not oily and jalapenos were spread evenly inside. So every bite had the perfect balance of crispy bread, melted cheese and jalapeños.nnMy partner got the Chorizo scramble and rated it a 5/5. He has been reminiscing them from his trip in the States and so finally, he got lucky to enjoy this delectable dish at this cafe.nnWe also ordered the soup of the day, pumpkin soup. I wouldn’t recommend this soup as we felt it was quite a heavy dish to share with two others main ones The consistency was very thick and is immensely filling.nnHowever, the soup also comes with 2 slices of well toasted sourdough bread and butter, which we were incapable of neglecting. So we had one each with an overload of butter on top and happily stuffed ourselves.nnThe table next to us ordered the avocado toast and the French toast of which a morsel wasn’t left. Therefore, for next time we are sure to get them two.
