Goodness Gracious Cafe — Restaurant in Waitematā

Tha bagels were above average, and the service was pretty good, however this place can get busy so be prepared for a reasonable wait to order/pay.

First visit today and well worth it and will definitely be going back. The coffee was delicious. It wasn’t bitter. It wasn’t burnt. Perfect !!

Best bagel I’ve had for a long time. It’s a little treasure of a place easily missed I think, but once you know it’s there you will always go back cause it’s worth it!! I recommend you visit you won’t be disappointed. Great service...
