We visited yesterday for the first time, all the way from Dunedin. My oat latte was amazing and nice and hot. Pretty latte art! Food was so unique, dishes that we haven't seen before. We had the mushrooms, salmon meal and the waffles. Incredible food and loved the vibe!
Totally loved the Mediterranean/Turkish/Middle Eastern touch of the menu, didn't have to go for another eggs benedict.... The merguez dish was a dream come true, so many flavours and ingredients, great portion, exotic spices, good sausage! Also the haloumi dish was a great mix of eastern flavours, the egg alone was exciting and the cheese the real thing. Plenty of food. The flat white was excellent as well, honestly haven't had such great coffee in a cafe for a long time. Lots of nice staff around, thanks!
AMAZING brunch spot if you’re looking for something different that still has a breakfast feel to it. Flavorful, beautiful plating, well composed. I’m sad I live so far away because nothing in Tauranga compares to this!
Bit of a wait on a public holiday, we had to put our name down and come back. Worth the wait though! Food was great, staff were friendly. Great little brunch spot. Coffee is a little bit slow, our food arrived first. But great coffee!
flavours!! Delicious little spot for brunch. The menu was packed full of healthy options. We had the halloumi salad and kumara on toast, both portions were super generous and absolutely delicious. 4 stars because they don’t have a toilet!! Had to go to the pub up the road?? Don’t over do it on the sparkling water
Always so friendly. Coffee lovely and to the rim with heaps of cinnamon. Love the eggs n spinach , well presented. Very generous with the spinach. The touch of. Cheese on the scrambled eggs is so tasty
We came here after the Grey Lynn markets and seeing people wait outside made us even more curious to try it out for our Brunch. The wait was around 45mins but worth the Wait!! Our oatmilk latte & Mocha was just PERFECT! The Menu is turkish fusion, our server was very sweet & great in making sure what we wanted. We had the Istanbul Scrambled eggs & Ricotta Pancake which was very yummy & filling. I would like to give a shoutout to the team, even being so busy they look after every customer very nicely with a smile : I had initially ordered the platter but later had requested for the pancake instead, the staff was kind and took care of my request. Really appreciate that. Food & Customer service is great. Definitely recommend this cafe.
This a great little breakfast spot in the Grey Lynn part of Auckland. Coffee is on point and well priced. Flat white and long black were delicious. Their breakfast has a lot of middle eastern influences. My wife had the Cilbir eggs which was poached eggs over Greek yogurt with a chili oil, dill, and rosemary. It was a powerfully flavorful dish with a touch of heat, just enough nothing overwhelming. I had the Bones granola which was seasonal fruit, berries, and housemade granola over yogurt with honey. It was a delicious way to start the day. The staff are kind and helpful navigating the menu. Please bear with them as they are dramatically understaffed which can take a while for the orders to make it to the table but believe me it's worth the wait.
I sat outside, relaxed vibe and great service.. I had the fritters with a side of bacon.. really happy with my choice. Egg poached perfectly.. not a runny goobery white in sight! Good strong flat white too.
MERGUEZ & ZUCCHINI FRITTERS - must have dishes here. The merguez had the most delicious sausage rolled in the middle, complimented with roast potatos and flavoured with Mediterranean spices. The zucchini fritters were battered and fried in a ball shape. Served on a salad with a beautiful dip. Coffee was Supremes which was strong and delicious. The atmosphere was great and very busy. Vegetarian options: Zucchini fritters was delicious. Wheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance.
