A neighbourhood cafe is judged on its coffee and on how fresh the cabinet looks. Ask whether the scones and sweet treats were baked that morning, since they sell out early at many cafes. Milkshakes are best made to order, so ask for one fresh rather than from a batch. Brunch is busiest on weekend mornings, so a weekday visit usually means a shorter wait. Pancakes and eggs are best eaten hot, so order them when the table is ready.
This cafe on Blockhouse Bay Road is a relaxed stop for coffee and brunch in the Blockhouse Bay neighbourhood of Auckland.
