Rations Lunch Bar Cafe — Restaurant in Waitematā

horrible saggy sandwiches, rotten muffins, worst coffee and miso soups. Plus, the respect you receive is totally related to the money you spend, i.e. no respect for purchase less than 5 dollars!!!! I used to buy my lunch from this place but the sandwich bread is 10 times worse than the budget bread in the "countdown" supermarket. They used to save money by using two different type of bread in one SANDWICH!!! YES THAT is right... one side was whole grain and one side was crappy white cheap bread!!!!Besides, they barely put chicken or protein in the buns or sandwiches ( 5 grams or less), it s mainly butter and mayo and some rotten smelly old leaves. I had to reduce my purchase to a coffee and a scone later, but coffee was usually burnt !!!! then I switched to miso soup and onagiri ( sushi bun) but at this stage they started to reduce the respect as I paid less money. Onagiri is basically rice and mayo, You wont be able to find more than 5 grams of tuna or chicken in it !!!!!! I mean it. They finally gave me hot water as miso soup yesterday and I finally decided to write this review and never...

I love this cafe. I really don't think the owners are judging people by the amount of money they spend... perhaps there is a language barrier that makes people think the owners are not nice... but if you try talk to them you will find that they are lovely and just trying to get by. The lockdown has been hard for them so I really urge you to support local rather than the chains. The food I've had has always been really nice- their bagels are SO YUMMY and sandwiches was fresh and very flavourful. Definitely...

Great little gem of a cafe! It’s been difficult finding places that are open during the Christmas and New Year holidays. The owners are very nice, even asked if I wanted cocoa or cinnamon on the cappuccino. I thought the coffee was great. Above average for NZ. There’s free WiFi with no password needed. No power ports but the owner said I could use one in the hallway....
