Cafe Melba

We arrived around 11am on Sunday for brunch. It was clearly a busy, popular spot. The outside tables were full so we went inside and were able to grab a table for three. The staff gave us some menus and we made our selections. Lots of good stuff on the menu so it was a struggle to pick! My daughter went for a iced chocolate and a cabinet brownie which she enjoyed. We also shared a French toast. My other daughter ordered the porridge. We got some hot drinks too. The drinks all came out quickly. The menu food was a little slower but understandable as they had so many tables of people. Everything looked great and tasted great too. Staff were doing well, given how busy they were.

Lovely little cafe bustling with a lively atmosphere. Was a busy place as is to be expected on a rainy Sunday morning! but the customer service was friendly and efficient. Chai was hot and delicious. My partner and I shared the French toast and they beautifully plated it on two dishes for us. It tasted just as good as it looked! Nice thick French toast is always the best. Good value as well. Highly recommend checking this charming cafe out.

10/10 recommend! Service was great. There was a bit of a wait on food but it was quite busy and their attitude was still kind, so we didn’t mind. Loved the smoked salmon bagel too.

Absolutely adorable! Little European alley in the heart of Auckland. The food was incredible and the coffee perfect. Quick and friendly service by the staff. Highly recommend!

It's average. I ordered salmon hash. Would be nice to have a piece of sour bread or something. Otherwise it's just "potato salad". I guess here is good for coffee but don't expect too much for foodFood: 2/5

Clean and efficient.. the breakfast was great. I would have given 5 stars, but my poached eggs were cold compared to the rest of the dish

I had three eggs omelette. I kinda liked it but I could taste something like coriander? My partner ordered french toast and he said it is the best french toast.

Very good coffee in a lovely, central location. Service was friendly. The decaf beans were freshly ground, which for me is a minimal standard of service I look for in a cafe.

Melba has a great thing going. I had the 3 egg omelette and it was delish. Packed with flavour, the pickled fennel was a great touch. *Chef’s kiss*

it was a busy holiday day, food was ok but it wasn't eggs benny as I expected. I didn't feel like returning them because place was crowded. I dined in but the ice coffee was in a take away plastic glass. Staff were friendly.
