The Hardware Cafe

Titirangi again! The cafe is just right at the corner exceptional location. Coffee is good I enjoy it. Tried the lunch special, Red Wine Scotch Steak, not bad actually. $25.5 a bit pricey for a lunch but once in a while loving yourself isn't bad.

I had the best coconut mocha of my life here and its permanently ruined other coffees for me at other cafes. Cafe can be a bit crowded when it's busy but other than that its an awesome place to stop for coffee. I stop everytime before going or leaving waitaks.

Waited 30 mins for food came out bushman’s breakfast was literally TINY you expect a big breaky but had about 1 scrambled egg on their and 1 small piece of bacon? We had also ordered chips to go with our meals which came about 10 mins after we ate our breakfast kinda defeated the purpose of why we wanted the food in the first place, Food average definitely won’t be returning.

Lovely little spot to stop for breakfast. Fresh food, great service, lovely coffee and buzzy atmosphere. They have ready-to-take items to picnic with and some lovely wines and beers on offer. We sat outside and had a lovely time. The staff are very attentive, warm yet professional.

Not sure what happened but my experience here not great. The eggs meant to be over easy were not and mushrooms were overcooked and rubbery while the rosti was as a crispy outer while the inside was mushy. Overall the food was underwhelming and even the coffees were warm and not hot. Sorry The HC.

After frequenting this place for many years it is sad to have to say the food is getting inedible. Smoked fish so dry I couldn't even get it on my fork and the poached eggs were overcooked and rubbery. Sorry you have lost me as a customer.

Long time since I’ve been here, food was way below par for the place and price. Poached eggs were hard, half a tomato, a few mushrooms, rosti was deep fried. Other meal had avocado deep fried. Coffee was average. Toilet was filthy, door handle nearly broken off. Won’t be back.Food: 1/5

Came in for a takeaway hot chocolate, staff were friendly, with the drink being extra chocolate-ly & perfect temperature!

Been here multiple times now and everything about the cafe is average.. the food, service and coffee. It’s a shame as it’s in such a prime spot with minimal competition and the locals are always there. Good opportunity for the next owner to step things up and have someone behind the counter who uses manners and engages with the customers rather than just taking the money. The coffee comes in an Allpress cup and isn’t as good as others iv had too milky? Also the food is food.. nothing to jump up and down about. Just my thoughts..

Yummy pizza, garlic bread and calamari...awesome service and great coffee....crew was nice and friendly
