Sugar at Chelsea Bay

As part of the Chelsea sugar factory the setting is great, with nice walks along the beach and a playground. However, the interior is sparse and the seats are uncomfortable. There weren’t enough wait staff and service was slow.nnThe food is average but the prices are far too high for small portions, especially the meatball noodles featuring 3 small meatballs for $29! Not much variety with the menu selection. The cabinet food on the other hand is excellent. Although the lamingtons are $9.50 they are large and really tasty, the highlight of our meal.

Very accommodating service! We were initially seated indoors at a table with the sun shining directly on us, and even though it was a busy public holiday, the staff were so helpful and moved us to a more comfortable spot. The food and the cabinet desserts were pretty good, nothing too fancy. There’s also lovely outdoor area and a walking track nearby, which made for a pleasant way to wrap up lunch. Overall, an enjoyable day.

Came here on a recommendation. Place itself is really nice as was the view looking back towards the city. Would be really nice at night time as the city lights would look great. We were met by staff and shown to a table near the outdoor section. We ordered a salmon based salad, a pastrami toastie, a Peroni beer and an iced lemon tea.Total cost about 70 dollars. Not cheap but pretty standard for 2 people in Auckland. Salmon salad was nice and toastie was so so. Iced lemon tea was a little short on lemon. What stood out the most was the service and prompt delivery of the food. Took approximately 10-12 minutes after ordering. Nice place for a coffee or a snack. Service was excellent. 4/5 stars.

I booked this lovely Cafe/Restaurant for a special occasion recently. The online booking system was easy and confirmation emails were sent which was appreciated.nnThe food was outstanding and delivered in a timely manner. Two of us had the Workers Breakfast and the third person ordered the Waffles. Our waitress was very busy but still happy to take photographs of our group after the meal and other staff were friendly and helpful.nnMy husband was rapt with the raspberry lamington that we took home for him.nnI would be delighted to return to Sugar at Chelsea Bay and look forward to dining here in future.

Food was great. Atmosphere wonderful. Facilities fantastic. Easy access for elderly. Staff were happy and helpful.nLove the interactive area and seeing the history of Chelsea Sugar.
