19 Best Coffee Shops near Mount Albert

“I love this cafe! The treats are always incredible (my favourites are the raspberry squares, salted caramel choc chip square, and anything with a shortbread base). The staff are all so friendly and helpful - it's a wonderful place to meet friends, bring your family, or just do takeout. The lunch options (paninis, wraps, salads or soups) are delicious and change daily and seasonally. As a bonus there are frozen dinner options for you to take home and they also do catering! Can't recommend the Lighthouse Cafe enough!“

Best birthday breakfast ever!
Anastasia was the best server I’ve ever had at Here & Simple — so kind, attentive, and genuinely wonderful. She made my birthday morning feel really special. Shout-out as well to the host with the long hair at the front — such a warm welcome and a beautiful smile. Thank you both for an amazing experience. Highly recommend!“

I would definitely recommend Vavix to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled company.“

The quality, consistency, and care truly make it worth the detour. Huge shoutout to Vasanth, Priya, Prasank, Melissa, and Raj—your service is top-tier every time. You guys are the heart of this place! You’re always so friendly, and my dog absolutely loves the treats you give at the drive-thru window. It’s that kind of thoughtful touch that makes all the difference. Best Tim Hortons around. Five stars!“

“The Osaka-based sweet spot is known for its “revolutionary cheese tarts” and cheesecakes in various flavours and sizes, they specializes in creamy, rich cheesecakes and minis, which come in over a dozen exciting flavours.

Pablo Cheese Tarts was founded in Osaka, Japan by Masamitsu Sakimoto, the mastermind behind the brand. The name “Pablo” was inspired by the renowned 20th artist Pablo Picasso, symbolizing the artistic craftsmanship that goes into creating each tart.

The alluring mini cheese tarts not only come in classic flavours like the original, chocolate, or matcha, but with eye-catching toppings like chestnut (done in a mountain of strands, like Mont Blanc desserts), white chocolate raspberry, fresh mango, or ube, among others.

The cheesecake filling is fluffy and oozy (especially if you warm it up a bit), but the treats prove equally as enjoyable if they've firmed up a bit in your fridge.

Much like another big player in the Japanese cheesecake scene, Pablo stamps their creations with their logo, too.

The original cheese tart has a creamy and not too heavy cheese flavor, while the mango tart boasts a good mango taste. Some customers find the tarts to be fairly dense but overall enjoyable. The selection of flavors is impressive, with options like white chocolate raspberry and Nutella.

Pablo is a Japanese bakery known for their cheese tart, but they also serve up a pretty cool soft serve.“

“I am a daily customer at your Starbucks location, and I always have an excellent experience. I wanted to specifically commend two employees, Kyle and Zack, for consistently going above and beyond.
They are always friendly, open to suggesting new drinks and options, and are great at reminding me to use my rewards points. Their exceptional service truly makes my mornings more enjoyable.
As a small business owner, I wish more employees demonstrated the dedication and quality of service that Kyle and Zack provide. They are doing a fantastic job.“

“Ordered a latte and asked for a little cinnamon on top but the barista Nicole offered to infuse the cinnamon into the milk for a better taste. She also asked if she could recommend some vanilla powder on top. The extra friendly care and effort was appreciated.“

“One of the best Starbucks experiences I’ve had. Matthew showed outstanding leadership and patience while guiding new hires, all while keeping service smooth and efficient. His professionalism and customer focus stood out. He deserves recognition.“

“Wonderful experience because of Anita!! I came to this Starbucks earlier today because my drink was made with the wrong type of milk and I’m lactose intolerant. I admit when I came in I was very short with the supervisor but she was so lovely the entire time and as incredibly patient with me. She greeted me with a smile and even though I could tell she was stressed out since she was busy, she was attentive and kind the entire time. I’ll definitely be back here because of this experience!!“
