Meshino Cafe

We sat outside next to the play area, lovely little spot. Gated play area very cute with a few slides and toys. Good coffee and tasty bagel. Tried to book through their website but nothing really happened from that, although there was a table available for us anyway so no worries. Kids bday party was happening outside near us and when it ended the staff dragged all the tables back into regular formation instead of one long group, was very noisy in the middle of our lunch.

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’.

An excellent stop for morning tea and lunch! Lovely sitting inside or out. Friendly staff and great coffee. Highly recommend the salmon and spinach crepe - so delicious!

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 ...

A super nice place for a coffee in the neighborhood. Quiches look amazing but haven’t tried on. Downside: my coffee order was lost during a rush. They don’t call out names or order numbers and it seems a few drinks were accidentally taken by other customers.
