About Circus Circus
A circus café with live circus shows, at 447 Mount Eden Road in Mount Eden, Auckland. The shows are a 90-minute performance for all ages, with acts such as cyr wheel, and the venue offers ringside, elevated centre-ring, and bleacher seating. Family and group discounts are available at the box office.
The café serves dishes including eggs Benedict, chicken salad, mushrooms on toast, an open beef brisket sandwich, bubble and squeak and banoffee pie, with outdoor seating. Customers say the food is generally consistent and that there is not a long wait. One visitor found the pizzas burnt on a second order, and another says the front room by the entrance can be noisy. The listing gives a $$ price range.
