If this rating system would allow me to go higher I would. Excellent service, amazing coffee and superb food. There’s no full menu but with a cabinet packed with choices, you’re sure not to notice. Staff are friendly and attentive. The decor is very tasteful and made us feel as though we were at home.

Coffee is very good and served in a colorful cup with a chocolate fish . The cafe space is good with an extra meeting room if needed. I think the coffee is one of the best in that area of Manukau.
