Delishimo is a cafe at 1 Ara-Tai Road in Half Moon Bay, Auckland, with a Google rating of 3.1 from 79 reviews. Reviews are mixed to critical. Some praise the pies, scones, coffee and hot chocolate, while others report a custard slice that was not fresh, food that was not warm enough, and unfriendly service.
A good cafe inside a supermarket is judged on whether its cabinet food is fresh each day, since custard and cream fillings do not keep well. Hot food should arrive hot, so it is worth noticing the temperature when you collect an order. Good service at a counter matters as much as the food, especially at busy times. Regulars often choose a cafe by one reliable item, such as a pie or a coffee, which shows whether the standard holds.
Its Ara-Tai Road site makes it a convenient stop for coffee and a pie in Half Moon Bay.
