Blackdrop Eatery — Restaurant in Waitematā

Love coming here with my fur baby and his bestie!

Their matcha beverages are all absolutely delectable but I particularly enjoy the Yuzu Matcha and Matcha Strawberry varieties. Their Sunrise and Peach Ice Tea Americano have also been on rotation, and I’d highly recommend if you don’t mind some quirky or adventurous coffee (but do note it’s not everyone’s cup of coffee). Pandan latte was also quite unexpectedly delicious! So don’t let the unfamiliar combinations worry you. Just give it a go and come back again to try the rest of the menu because they love doing seasonal things and rotating their menu!

I also stole a bite of the cheese scone my (human) coffee date ordered one time and ohhhhhh it was scrumptious! Will have to order one for myself next time and fend off the fur babies who will also be vying for a crumb or two.

The service is always so friendly, so accommodating, but also efficient, which many working people in the area really appreciate. Highly recommend spending as much time and money as you can spare at such a welcoming and tasty establishment!

So glad to have them...

Great experience! Got cookies and iced chocolate which I was recommended to try.

I loved the iced chocolate, it stood out and was amazing - best I have had. Unlike how most places just dabble chocolate powder and syrup into a cup of milk, Blackdrop’s one was so decadent and rich. Finally, an iced chocolate tasting like chocolate! It’s rich but once you get to the bottom it cuts through nicely. At its price point ($8) though I would only get this occasionally.

Also they might have used smaller sized ice cubes? It doesn’t interfere with drinking which is great.

Cookies - Biscoff and Banana Bread Chocochip Didn’t taste any banana bread flavour in the chocohip cookie but it was less sweeter than the Biscoff. The Biscoff is more sweet which might be too much. Had a sugar overload with the drink too but it’s fine

Tip: do ask if it’s okay to dine in because seating is limited Also seating location is nice because you’re in the shade but it’s also perfectly breezy too +...

I haven't had the chance to physically pop in, but I've been a firm fan of ordering off Uber Eats. I've slowly worked my way through the delicious cookies on offer such as the matcha strawberry jam, pineapple tart with white chocolate and banana chocolate. All I can say is well, there is no where else I'd rather go for a decent loaded cookie! On top of that they have the most creative inventive coffees available, my current favourite remains the vanilla sea salt...
