Lime Espresso Bar & Eatery — Restaurant in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu

It's a cosy nook at the top of the road, a tidy little place with a nice open friendly vibe where you can get a great coffee and some pretty damn good food at a reasonable price. First time here, I beat the traffic leaving home early and stopped for a coffee before heading to work in Mt Wellington. What a fantastic idea! Had my leisurely breakfast of eggs bene which is amazing, generous servings and LOADS of the lovely hollandaise, which is always good! nice bacony bacon, spinach a perfect poachie on a split english muffin (not buttered, don't know if that's normal?) great anyway, the sauce made up for the missing butter. The service is warm and friendly like the venue, the food I had was very good and leaving for work early could become a regular thing! JUST AN IDEA - spend a wee bit more, get a buttered bap and make yourself an eggs bene bap for...

I was recommended this cafe from a friend & today was my first time. I ordered for 2 of us the following: Big breakfast, Eggs Bene, 2x Large Hot chocs, bowl of fries (forgot a pic) & a side of chopped fruits = $65 ($32.50 per person). The drinks were first, food took 10mins, all were served hot/fresh & were really good portion sizes esp for the big breakfast. Loved the ambiance & customer service - the man behind the counter accommodated our needs by making sure he provided our different condiments or answering questions when we needed. The only recommendation I have is for the fruit bowls to be a bit bigger. The unique small chopped sized fruits are really tasty & refreshing, maybe a bigger portion for $8 would be even better. 10/10...

My colleagues' and I always order from Lime and we are usually love the food and the service, until today, 18/04/2024. I called to place the order and the person that answered the phone could not take the order because she was new and instead got the chef to take the phone order. The order was not repeated with me over the phone to confirm and instead I confirmed thrice by repeating the order. Since this is a group order, my colleague just paid and grabbed the bags. Once the order was received at the office we noticed WE WERE OVER CHARGED AND 2 EXTRA MEALS WERE GIVEN THAT WERE NOT ORDERED.

We are sad that now we have come to the conclusion not to go back after...
