Huddle Cafe — Restaurant in Ōrākei

Ordered the Team Huddle with scrambled eggs, Fried Chicken Burger, swiss roll, caramel slice and chocolate shake. Total came to $84.40. This place is on the expensive side.

Team Huddle Oily Small portion in comparison to other cafes who offer a similar "big breakfast" Mushrooms and potato rosti had no seasoning or flavour Gourmet pork sausage was small and average tasting Eggs and tomato were good Tomato relish was nice One small piece of sourdough buried under smashed avocado which was bland One small strip of bacon

Fried Chicken Burger Oily Fries were bland Sauce for the fries were standard Burger was delicious Lots of sauce Ample amount of salad which was fresh Chicken was fresh and juicy Worth the price

Swiss Roll Soft Pistachio filling was delicious Cream on top fresh with blueberries, strawberry and edible flowers Portion was big and worth the price

Caramel Slice Dark chocolate taste overpowers the caramel Base could have been a little softer Small portion, not worth the price

Chocolate Shake Too much ice Not overly sweet which was good Cold and chocolatey

Inside: Plenty of seating Bright and not dimly lit, windows bring in great lighting even on an overcast day Decoration/colours create a warm and friendly atmosphere Toilets aren't in the cafe. You need to walk into the shared courtyard area of the facility, turn right and follow the signs until you reach them

Service: Seated quickly Servers weren't attentive to take our order but we managed to grab the attention of one cleaning the table nextdoor No one checks to see if your meal is ok - not expected and didn't mind We noticed the staff tend to gather in groups to chat and work together Taking payment was standard where we were asked how everything was. After mentioning the main issue being oily food, we were told the kitchen would be notified

Overall - it's an ok place. Will give it another go and order other items, as...

Visited on Saturday, 2nd time here. Food was good, service from 1 guy though in particular (probably the same person Keshi Zhang mentioned in their review) put us off coming back here for at least a little while. Not very welcoming or friendly. We were obviously waiting for a table and he just says to my wife....."yeah...?" We ordered our food with the young waitress and asked for our coffee to be brought out the same time as our meals. Simple enough request I thought. The aforementioned other guy came over 5 minutes later and wanted clarification as to the timing of when our coffee should come out and how difficult it is to make them at EXACTLY the same time as the food ETC etc.....Dude!! We just didn't want our coffee brought out before the meal! Work it out champ! Anyway 3 out of 4 meals came out pretty promptly which was good. 15 mins later still waiting for the 4th meal AND the coffees. The meal was missed somehow and still don't know what happened with the coffees. 3 of us finished our meals and the 4th still hadn't arrived so we decided just to cancel the 4th meal and the coffees. The manager came out and was sincerely apologetic which I was very grateful for. To her credit she discounted part of the meals we did receive and also packaged up a couple of cakes from the cabinet for us to take home. Thank you to manager! It was a celebration brekky for my wife and I and our 2 girls which wasn't very celebratory but did end positively thanks to the manager...
