Bagle and paining was good. But coffee wasn't. Too much strong.

I ordered Italian mozerella I didn't know it had pork in it and when I asked them I ordered a new one for free and I didn't pay. I wanted to tip and they refused. Very polite and good people I recommend

We ate chicken and turkey pesto. Chicken pesto was delicious. I wanted more pesto in turkey pesto cause it was like without pesto but still delicious.

This was my first time going to Ponsonby. I had the Shrimp Breakfast Burrito and it was very fresh and delicious. I also picked up a Butter Chicken and Steak & Mushroom meat pies which were just as flavourful and delicious. Definitely going back!!!

Cute small cafe with friendly staff, the only thing I didn't like so far was their iced chai latte which tasted like water with chai and cinnamon top. I have gotten this drink two times and either they don't like me, do it in a rush, or don't care to let it dissolve properly. Other than that everything is good especially their mocha coffee and meat pie.

Such a cute spot :) the hand pies are more like little pot pies but soft and chewy and flaky as opposed to like a Jamaican hand pie or empanada which are more sealed up with thinner, firmer dough. They’re very saucy inside. I get the Beyond Veggie one. Would love like a broccoli cheddar too! ?

Shop needs to read online orders more carefully. Love this shop but so far am 0 for 3 when ordering an iced mocha online. I will always be sent an iced matcha which is infuriating to have to just deal with an item I didn’t order. Especially when it’s $7 and the same mistake happens literally every time. The only time they’ve gotten it right is when I put in a substitution request and told them they keep getting it wrong. I worked at a coffee shop before and it takes an extra couple seconds to confirm you’re making the right item. Either before you start making it, or double checking the ticket afterwards.

Really liked this place! Bodacious capp which held milkfoam well and yummy chicken pesto sandwich which came with a salad. Was surprised that the drink came in to-go cup when it was for here, but it was still very very lovely and enjoyed. Staff was sweet + there was indoor and outdoor seating. Would absolutely come back!

We came here for a New Zealand Meat pie. We had a trip there recently and was missing this food. It was spot on and so delicious. The coffee was great too. And the staff couldn't have been better! Will definitely return!

Omg, this place is awesome. The meat pie was so good... And the Matcha iced latte was really good too. The staff is so nice. I will come back. I had the chicken curry, but next time I'm getting either lamb Curry or steak cheese and jalapeno.

Their coffee was awful, it was too hot which burnt the coffee and it tasted really bad. You don't want to stop for a coffee here.
We also asked to have our coffee for here, but we received them in paper cups.

We came here after we found them on Google and we said let's try it. The service, the food, and atmosphere was above and beyond. We highly recommend the breakfast burrito. The honey lavender latte was extremely good. We highly recommend this establishment to everyone. Thank you for such good food!
