Gorgeous surroundings, but the food and service was rather lacklustre. It’s a pity, really, because you would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful place for a cafe setting in Hamilton City – the gardensContinue reading
The District, Te Rapa
The District is one of my favourite cafes in the Tron – conveniently located, consistently good food, a wide range of teas (yep, I’m a tea drinker at heart, even though I don’t mind theContinue reading

Quay Street Cafe, Britomart
I had the most amazing brioche french toast at Quay Street Cafe last weekend, after wandering around the Britomart precinct looking for a bite to eat. Ironically, my partner and I almost did not goContinue reading
Mojo, Auckland Art Gallery
Mojo is a little cafe tucked away on the 2nd floor of the Auckland Art Gallery. I visited with Yatchi (from Zomato) a few days ago, and was blown away by the incredible setting. MuchContinue reading
