Devonport Deli cafe — Restaurant in Devonport-Takapuna

What a great find!

First impression was this cafe was full whilst the cafe next door was empty..always a good sign. Sat down outside with our dogs and first thing brought out was water for the dogs. Tick. The menu had all the standard breakfast options…but at prices about 4-5 dollars cheaper than anywhere else in Auckland..my wife said oh well the meals might be smaller than other places. I ordered the big breakfast and my wife irdered the French toast. Coffees arrived with a piece of brownie and first sip…coffee was fantastic. Tick.

So annoying to not be able to have a proper coffee because I am such a coffee afficionado and this one ruined my morning. Yes, I know, it's just a coffee...but..make it good so people can come back to your shop so you don t need...

The real thing! Davenport deli cafe is unpretentious but feels like an old Europe cafe. The coffee (latte in a glass) was exquisite and the blueberry cheese cake one of the best I've had - Vienna move over! The setting across from the art deco Devonia bldg with a choice of sidewalk or breezy inside seating adds to the experience. Head for the cafe as soon as you get off the ferry; a three minute walk. Oh I also picked up a frittata to take away - two kinds available: ham or veggie great value or try the quiche: spinach + feta or...
