Auckland Discovery | A Café Hidden in a Garden 🌿

☕️ Found this gem in Henderson, West Auckland, totally by chance — and I'm so glad I did! If you love enjoying a peaceful brunch surrounded by greenery 🍵, The Alderman is your spot. Tucked away in a residential area, it feels like a secret garden café — wrapped in plants, with soft light streaming through the windows, making the air feel gentle and calm. 🍋 Lemon French Toast Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, topped with homemade lemon curd — the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. 🍳 Eggs Benedict with Creamy Mushroom Runny yolk + super crispy hash browns = pure satisfaction. The mushroom sauce is so rich it’s almost like a soup — a dish I’d happily order again and again. 🍰 Blueberry Cake Simple but delicious — light, moist, and just right with a cup of coffee. 📍 The Alderman 22 Alderman Drive, Henderson, Auckland 0645 Perfect for slow mornings, quiet catch-ups, or just sitting with a book among the leaves. A true West Auckland hideaway 💚 #100CafesChallenge #COTD #NZLife #AucklandCafes#StudyAbroadEats #Brunch #CafeLife #OverseasLiving
