Cafe Ditto — Restaurant in Waitematā

Café Ditto is single-handedly the most aesthetically pleasing café I have been to. I wish I had a better words than just "aesthetically pleasing" but I lack the vocabulary to do it justice. I'm a boring office worker in my 20s. This café makes me feel like an Instagram post, if that makes any sense. Every element of the interior design feels intentional, it all adds together to create a comfy, creative atmosphere. It's a great example of how atmosphere can influence a dining (café) experience.

The coffee is also great. They use altezano beans which I personally enjoy. Two types of beans are available and they also have a variety of syrups and milk alternatives. I would say a big strength of Café Ditto is their range of drinks. Whether you prefer coffee, matcha, tea or the adventurous choice, there's something on the menu for you to enjoy. For example, the Tomato Basil Ade was a nice, refreshing and new experience for me. I'd highly recommend it if you like tomato based drinks.

While the café doesn't offer any meals currently, they do have a small variety of baked goods to enjoy. I personally love their chocolate chip cookies.

If you're looking for a place to take a breather, to slow down and really enjoy a cup of coffee, there is no place I'd recommend more than Café Ditto. My photos do not do it justice, so definitely check out their Instagram page for more info (they also do night hours sometimes and...

Two adorable teddies, Hugo & Theo - welcome you at the entrance, and a cute guest book on the main table invites you to write a review or thoughts, or a draw a doodle 🙃 "Stand still and love well" is the quote that sets the tone to your café experience 💓 Can't wait to return to try the "vanilla matcha" and the "matcha...

Really cute cafe with a nice atmosphere and staff. The matcha was quite watery both times I came which was a bit of a let down as their special flavours sound so yummy! The second time I came I asked for an early grey matcha with oat milk and didn’t look when I scanned my card (rookie error which I will not be repeating in future). When I was brought my drink it was drinks, a normal milk matcha and an early grey oat milk matcha 🥲 I was a bit confused, but then a notification popped up on my phone as if it was a paid actor and I saw a charge for two drinks. I felt too bad to let the girl know as she had spent time...
