This place is basically an institution for those who appreciate a great local coffee and with stellar food. Hugely underrated, if you haven’t been add it to your list and become one of the regulars.

Half and half is a really good breakfast idea. Corn fritters good but must admit I prefer creamed corn .

Great coffee , do a killer poached egg , but the toasted brioche is the real star .... yum

Not sure why the rating is bad, been a regular for 25 years. Always good.

Get a hot choccie or a mocha - they use real chocolate and you stir it in yourself......

Don't be in a rush to order, chill out with your coffee and let the crowds pass, the staff will find you! Read more

Definitely try Mediterranean eggs !

Bambina is a little claustrophobic as a regular coffee tree .

Easy parking and its own bike rack.

Vies for titleholders best coffee in akl - own brew strong. Home of the Ponsonby glitterati.

Hot chocolate made with chocolate buttons...delicious !

Pass on this unless all the other neighboring cafes are closed (like during summer holidays)...it's pretty average

Try the chiabatta with bacon , avo, cheddar , tomato , and pesto . Epic.

The mediterranean eggs are scrumptious.

What lovely people, let us order even though kitchen was closed
