Kepa Road Cafe

A really nice little cafe, a bit too little when you're lining up at the front counter. The food was good, if not spectacular - poached eggs were nice and runny, holandaise sauce was well made, bacon was good, toast was small. Not sure the uncovered food on the cabinet is the best idea, pretty much at mouth / cough level with anyone waiting at the counter. Suspicious at the lack of prices on the cabinet food as well, never a good sign. The prices for the menu food was on the high side, but nothing else in this area comes close, and the outside area was good. Loved the barnacle plant pot!

Bought a mince pie for 14.50nzd, I have never paid that much for one in NZ. The price was not informed anywhere nor in the printed menu, not in the wall menu, not next to the pies. The sad part is not the price, the lady asked if I wanted to eat it there or take it away, I said I would prefer there since I wanted a break away from home, she replied that heating up the pie would take a long time around 10 -15 min and she would recommend me to take it home and heat it up in the microwave. Not sure if they want to save in the effort, time, electricity or the struggle of washing dishes that ultimately relates to more garbage. Really? That price for something that cannot include the service related to it? Also, Is it legal to sell something without price?.

One of the most chilled out cafes in Kepa Road, I have been here several times and I’m writing a review having a wonderful brunch.nnI came to the cafe after a good walk, and was craving for a nice glass of fresh juice which they had, I had the Apple, Orange and Carot pressure juice which was on stop at that moment, the flavors complement very well and only improvement for me in this, if it was a bit more chilled.nnThen I had a lovely chat with a friend of mine and we had some food. I was looking at the food menu and saw French Toast and was immediately tempted and ordered that. The moment it arrived I was so grilled as the plating was done very nicely. With some fresh fruits and berries and a good portion of syrup.nnI’m very happy with having this cafe near by which I will definitely visit more often.

Got some takeaway coffees here this morning and we’ve been feeling very unwell from the milk in them all day. They were on the pricey side too $7 for a regular. Food looks good, but rather disappointed and won’t be going back.

Very lucky to have this amazing cafe so close to home.nThe staff here are always super friendly and you are guaranteed a carpark.nBig fan of the mince on toast add the poached egg and the eggs Benedict with bacon is a guaranteed winner.nHome to some of the best coffee in Auckland with lots of dog friendly seating outside, highly recommend visiting this cafe when you’re in the area next.nnJames AshwinnKakapo Business Sales
