Small inner-city cafes fill quickly on weekend mornings, so arriving soon after opening usually means a seat and a fuller menu. Good coffee depends on the barista and the beans, so ask how a flat white is made if you prefer a stronger or milder cup. Bagels are best eaten warm, so order when you are ready to sit.
For Grey Lynn locals and visitors who want a cosy place for a good coffee and a bagel, Roost on Vinegar Lane is a lovely stop.
