Great food but budget coffee brand. Was my daily stop for a morning coffee and snack until the one day I dared turn up 2 minutes before opening time and gingerly knocked on the door wondering if they'd be interested in making me a coffee 2 minutes before the official opening. I was caught well off guard by the angry and rude staff member who informed me they weren't open. I went back to my car which by then there was 60 seconds until opening time, it felt too awkward to go back again, she obviously wasn't in the mood to serve people, so rather than bother her I went elsewhere and have never been back. You can't talk to your daily customers like that and expect them to return. I made a poor judgement call thinking you'd be OK to serve a coffee 2 minutes before opening. If you don't like your job or can't act civil to the people paying your salary, probably time...
Read moreI ordered a cake online and went to pick it up. They are open early so it was easy to grab it before work. Since I was there I also grabbed a pie and a mini cake for lunch.

Read moreI have been living in Ellerslie for over year and half and I had no clue about this cake heaven! And I live literally 500m down from them!
Tiny little hidden gem with unreal cakes! Picked Sticky date because.. Well it is amazing flavour. For $55 beautiful and filling cake. You could def feed more than 10 people. It is on the heavy denser side but moist and packed with dates and flavour. Plus the caramel!
Also picked a coffee, chocolate chip cookie and (one of the best) date scone! Everything was top quality, oozing with real ingredients!
If you need a cake you need to try these ones! Even if you live on the other side of Auckland...
