Slowlane Cafe

Went to Slow Lane Cafe after hearing about it's rave reviews and it did not disappoint. It was busy busy busy but with that beautiful hum of relaxed Saturday catch ups over amazing coffee and in a light, bright and airy space. Gorgeous decor and attentive staff. Even though there was a queue, we were quickly seen to by a friendly waitress and seated in a toasted marshmallow cushion seat. Normally an eggs Benedict girl, I decided to try the 'biggest pancake in Auckland' and my friend had the pork belly noodles . Both meals were huge and absolutely delicious I had hoped to take home an egg mayo sandwich but by the time we left they were all sold out, But there was still an array of home made divine treats available in the cabinet. We will definitely be back! Parking on the main road. Don't park in the building complex behind as they charge a fortune $16 for 2 hours eek. But great place, not far from the bustle of Greenlane but far enough to not feel the bustle

This cafe offers a great selection of desserts the desserts were very tasty and a great portion ,which went well with the coffee. The coffee was rich and smooth. Overall, a nice place to enjoy a sweet treat.

Service: the servers at the counter are lovely, but we didn’t get given a table number which meant there were some mix ups with food arriving at our table instead of the next one, which is no biggie, but it’s awkward.nWe got our own water and cutlery as this was not given to us on our table.nAlso seemed like they were short staffed. People waiting ages to be seated, I saw some just leaving due to the wait. Very confusing as there were tables empty, maybe people should have just sat themselves.nnFood: looks amazing! The matcha strawberry French toast tastes great but the pink sauce seemed a bit too melted than it’s supposed to be.nThe cream donut was average, bread was giving bread roll instead of donut imo but it was nice.nnCoffee: maybe they ran out of ceramic cups? Our food was “have here”, but coffee came in takeaway cups big ick for us, and boy oh boy was that the worst almond latte & mocha we’ve had. Not sure if it was the milk or if the grind wasn’t set right on the machine.nnWouldn’t recommend it to my friends, even for the “insta” worthy food. Sorry :

I am always in search of the best matcha latte and I have finally found the best one! Also thoroughly enjoyed their limited edition strawberry matcha french toast.nnSuper cute décor, friendly staff. Very busy but for good reason!nnHighly recommend.

We came here cause recently they added a new menu. we ordered the Matcha Strawberry French Toast, Chicken Steakwich and Chirasi Bowl with Tofu. The food was pretty good, we enjoyed everything. Even though on Monday the place was packed and it seems they're short of front staff. Overall everything is great, would like to come back again next time.
