The Little Oven Café is a cafe at 98 Frederick Street in Hillsborough, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.4 from 122 reviews. Customers often mention the muffins, the scones and the quiche, and families say it is a good stop after school.
A good bakery cafe is judged on its baking, especially muffins and scones, which should be light and moist rather than dry. Quiche and savoury pies are a useful lunch choice when a family wants something more filling. Many visitors come in at the end of the school day, so a cabinet with a good range of savoury and sweet bakes shows the shop is ready for that rush. Choosing one often comes down to how fresh the scones are and how well the coffee is made.
For a muffin, a savoury scone or a quick lunch on Frederick Street in Hillsborough, it is a well-reviewed local café.
