Salta

Incredible sandwiches and lovely staff. It’s a popular and lively cafe - beautiful outdoor area through the back that is a rare, calm haven in the area though walking through the kitchen is a bit awkward to get there - I feel for the staff as conditions are a bit cramped. My constructive feedback would be 1. If someone orders a coffee with a milk alternative even a cappuccino ask before putting powdered chocolate on it as chocolate powder generally has milk products in it, and 2. Get some ingredient intel on those gorgeous looking cakes and sandwiches. It would be great to know if any are OK for lactose intolerance. Allergen/ingredient info is always great to have on all products sold.

Wilson served us and he is amazing! Great jokes and recommended us a few delicious cakes to go along with his fantastic coffee.

Stopped in for a blueberry and cream cheese - tasty muffin and spicy chai. Confusion over my drink but quickly replaced it with the correct one. Heaps of seating inside and out at 1015. Seems reasonably priced compared to other places I’ve been recently. Would definitely go back for a meal.

Beautiful Cafe in the heart of Ponsonby with a peaceful garden area away from the busy street or you can enjoy the buzz of the inside dining. Excellent Smashed Avocado, good Coffee at reasonable prices.Recommended dishesAvocado Smash

Ate in this establishment yesterday. We had the big breakfast, mince on toast, bacon and egg roll, & crepes. Why 2 stars? The service was shocking. Firstly, the girl taking the orders was miserable. No hello, thank you or smile. Secondly, food was not cheap yet they served one of the two crepes burnt to a crisp. I told the lovely young waitress who got you a star to pass on the feedback that is this wasn’t acceptable. I wasn’t excepting a refund as we ate half of the non burnt crepe but didn’t even get an apology. Not sure they deserve business if they can’t be bothered to provide a service.

It was quite cute latte art I enjoyed and a crepe was yum but a bit over-sweet

I have been coming to this cafe for the last 10 years and sadly for myself and the owners I will never step foot across there door ever again . The fiasco that I was party to today was ins at45 arrived and there was no barista there . I understand that sometimes people are sick so no problem with that , got told that would arrive in 10 minutes . 25 minutes later the barista arrived , got charged the surcharge and waited another 10 minutes . Still no coffee , I couldn’t wait any longer as I had an appointment, asked for a refund. , was short changed by the surly Indian barista who told me to step away from the counter as she was busy and would organise the extra charges to be reimbursed soon . Couldn’t wait and left , to make matters even worse the almond croissant was burnt when I took it out of the bag . Absolute waste of my time and energy .

Average, the avocado was out of the freezer. Not fresh ones

Delicious coffee! Best part of my mornings ~ I work close by and have tried all the coffee around this end of ponsonby. Salta is the best by a long shot Baristas are very experienced and service is always fast, and despite that the quality’s consistent!

Nice cafe, nice selection of food, nice staff. Everything was pretty good including the food. I got a cheese scone, which ended up having chilli in it which I wasn’t expecting haha. But it was really nice.
