Sugar at Chelsea Bay

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.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Chelsea Sugar Factory! The Interactive Zone was amazing for the kids – lots of fun and hands-on learning. We were hoping to join a cooking class, but it was closed during our visit, so we’ll definitely come back for that next time. And don’t miss the view! From outside the factory, there’s a scenic lookout over Auckland City – such a beautiful spot for photosnHighly recommended for families or anyone !looking for a fun day out!

Lived around the area for years and actually never been down to the factory but got my wish to visit today 24 April school hols and Anzac Day tomorrow. Beautiful drive down with amazing views of the city. Parking easy very busy all tables outside full. The shop and history displays, children’s area with the famous Edmonds cookbooks with the screen roll play with Aunt Daisy recipes was amazing. We didn’t book for the Chelsea Cafe, I suggest if you don’t want to be disappointed and have to wait - book. Very efficient friendly manager called us within 10 minutes to seat us. Great service at Table 25 - our waitress was friendly, attentive. Food 2 x Fish & chips & 1x Huka Burger was delish - the sweets cabinet mouthwatering- had to take dessert away!nA very memorable lunch experience that will be shared around - and I’ll definitely be backnZeeZee
