Mount Break Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in North Island

Well, well, well. Sometimes serendipity comes to play and new doors open. A hectic sunny Easter Monday saw our go to cafes full. Daily Dose had plenty of tables, all in the sun and not really much of a queue. The menu looked ok. Why not. Trying somewhere new can go one of two ways. Remind you of all the reasons to stick to what you know or be cause to celebrate your spontaneous sense of adventure. The service was friendly and efficient. I appreciate I’m the annoying customer who changes the order to suit me which often results in items missing or forgotten. Not today. The Favourite Husband declared the coffee “a great brew.” He’s a self declared expert on all things coffee. Waffles on about the depth and the colour and the bitterness and all manner of tedium. Anyway. He also had the usual big breakkie. And I had a smidgen of food envy. Heaps of perfect bacon, a beautiful, crispy rosti, creamy mushrooms bursting with flavour and a sausage that was actually made of meat! I had the smashed avo with feta and salsa, 2 poached eggs and I added a side of bacon. The flavour of the avo and the salsa was amazing. And so much avo.

One of the staff clearly has poor communication. She argued with me over something that is their fault. She kept on bringing us the wrong orders.

I told her the other plate is wrong but the other one is correct and asked which kind of bread it is so I know who to give it to. But she just walked away without answering me. When she came back she said “The order was correct but you told me it’s not” and I tried communicating with her saying I was asking about the bread but I just didn’t bother continuing anymore. I understand if it’s busy and everything but the way she talked was accusing and rude.

The food was just ok. We found it a bit dry. The smoothies were delicious tho. I wouldn’t recommend this place for the...

I visited the newly renamed Mount Break Café & Bar today, and I’m so impressed with the changes! The atmosphere has been beautifully improved. it feels welcoming and relaxing. The food quality is absolutely the best and everything was fresh and full of flavor.

The staff were super friendly making the whole experience even better. A special shoutout to King, who truly stood out with amazing service and a great attitude. You can tell that the coffee is made with love — it’s rich, smooth, and perfectly prepared.

Overall, Mount Break Café & Bar is definitely a place worth visiting. I’ll be coming back...
