In celebration of Auckland Restaurant Month, I will be posting 31 quick-fire reviews on 31 restaurants and cafes in the Auckland CBD and city fringe.

The atmosphere is…
Gorgeous artwork by local artist Flox at the entrance. The cafe decor itself is all clean lines and white chairs. Pretty minimal.  Mostly families having brunch when we visited.

Come here for…
Brunch or lunch.

The most interesting thing on the menu…

• Breakfast salad
• Croque Monsier

Unexpectedly wonderful…

• Coffee
• Their baked beans

I would come back to try…

• Moroccan lamb

Catering to…

• Omnis and vegies. Vegetarian and gluten free options available but unmarked.
• Business lunch crowd, they have a boardroom that can be hired out.

Expect to spend…
$20-30 per person

The service is…
Friendly.

Avoid if…
You have another favourite brunch spot. This place won’t scratch that.
