AKL Cafe Hunt | West Auckland's Cozy Red Brick Cafe 🌤️

☀️Found a hidden gem in Hobsonville today! This amazing cafe is absolute perfection on a sunny day — red brick walls paired with outdoor seating, so beautiful it takes your breath away 📸. Snap a photo anywhere and it’s an instant vibe shot for your feed! ☕️Obsessed with their adorable glassware 💘! Chubby mugs with Maori patterns are too cute～ I ordered an Ice Mocha, which was smooth and rich with no sour or bitter aftertaste — super comforting. My friend’s Iced Americano was refreshing and perfect for de-puffing 👌🏻! The best part? The staff speaks Chinese, so communication is a breeze～ The menu has a strong Asian influence, probably owned by Chinese bosses — feels like home 😊! 🍳Must-try: China Doll 🤤! Crispy fried chicken + runny poached eggs + thick-sliced bread — what a dream combo! The fried chicken has a crunchy exterior that cracks when you bite into it, and cutting into the poached egg releases golden, oozing yolk. Pair it with the fluffy bread, and it’s pure deliciousness! The only tiny flaw is the fried shrimp crackers are a bit oily, but it doesn’t ruin the overall experience — highly recommend 🉑🉑! 🥗Thai Beef Salad is generously portioned 😭! A huge plate loaded with tender beef on top of fresh bean sprouts and veggies. Every bite is coated in a tangy, juicy sauce — the lemon flavor is bright and refreshing, not overpowering at all. Unfortunately, the portion is so big we couldn’t finish it — totally worth taking leftovers home! 💫Sitting in the sun chatting with friends, feeling the gentle breeze 🍃, enjoying good food in the quiet, cozy vibe of Hobsonville — this is exactly how to spend a lunch break! 📍25ml💡Pro tip: Sit outdoors on sunny days! Perfect for foodies and photo lovers — you’ll get amazing shots 📸～⚠️ Prices are mid-range, around $30 per person. Paid for myself, no sponsorship! Just wanted to share the great weather, scenery and good mood through delicious food ～ #AucklandFood #AucklandEats #AucklandCafeHunt #WestAuckland #AucklandLife #AucklandBrunch #AucklandCafes #WestAucklandFood #WestAucklandCafes #WhatToEatInAuckland
