Meshino Cafe

Food was disappointingly more like bacon and eggs on slightly-toasted bread, than eggs Benedict. No spinach which is a key ingredient, toasted bread was soggy and the hollandaise tasted more like a butter sauce, leaving a lot to be desired. Counter service was friendly although somewhat slow. Definitely not worth the $31.40 NZD paid for small soy-milk latte and ‘eggs benedict’.

We were used to going to this place right after the COVID lockdown and it was a nice experience.nOur last visit Monday May 12, 2025 disappointed us so much that we will NEVER go back again until there is a big change in the kitchen and the staff.nThe two hot chocolates we ordered were ok but it took them more than half an hour to make them. And the order from the food cabinet, a sort of a quiche, was average but edible, the eggs bene was a real catastrophe. Old bread eggs barely cooked with a hollandaise sauce out of a jar. Extremely disappointing. And the service was inexistent. The staff didn't seem to care about customers ... Bye Meschino, you'll never see us again ...

Quite loud in main area when eating. Managed to find a quiet spot at front. Food great, a nice smiling staff member who made up for another non smiling staff. Never liked the set up at counter when ordering. Needs a better system.

The cafe is nicely set up and presented but the staff don't pay much attention to detail e.g using the same tongs for salmon and vegetarian my friend has a seafood allergy, no special attention to customer service and the prices are expensive! The menu seems about averagely priced, but the cabinet food at $17.50 for one slice of frittata and a very small side salad is not worth it. Apart from that, the food is good as well as the coffee.

Business was pumping today on this King's Birthday holiday.nFood and coffee were amazing.nAlthough it took a bit to place our order long queue, our order came out fast!!nWe sat outside which was a bit cold, but they provided blankets for everyone!!
