Remedy Coffee — Restaurant in Waitematā

I'm not much of a reviewer but I found this place on Yelp so feel compelled to add some encouragement for others looking at reviews to stop in.

I've been cafe jumping on a very rainy day in Auckland and was looking for somewhere to get some lunch and plan my next move (with free unlimited wifi!) This place has a good amount of seating for a small space (not cramped at all though) including some outdoor/street tables and some open window indoor seating. The vibe is quite hipster and casual with good music and lots of books and games if you are looking for some downtime. Out of 11 customers in here right now about half are reading books with coffee or lunch. Staff are very friendly and on the ball... Big props for that!

I ordered a chicken, bacon, cheddar and avocado sandwich on 5 grain bread and it is sooo good (and only $10). It also came with a complimentary little side salad on the plate. Each slice of bread is about an inch thick so very filling too. I had a coffee shortly before coming here and so didn't want another but I feel like I will order one before I leave because I have a good feeling it's going to be very tasty!

Main menu options: variety of coffee and teas. Salads, sandwiches and bagel options seem to be the bulk of the menu with an acai bowl, muesli, fruit salad and a few other options on there also.

I'm definitely a big fan of this place and would absolutely...

Writing a review while it’s fresh in your head is the best time to do so, the service experience and flavours of the food still resonate in your mind and mouth. When we walked in our first impressions were that this is a very cozy, very comfortable, niche spot to sit down and have breakfast and coffee. A little cafe tucked away in the corner but not hidden from view. We were instantly greeted and welcomed with a smile, got told we can sit down and someone will serve us right away, and they did accommodate us so. Unfortunately, the food lost them some stars, while our requests were met, the second bite of my bagel took a wild turn when I bit into what tasted like blue cheese, it was in fact the Halloumi cheese, bitter and over powering, it tasted nothing like the authentic Greek cheese we all love, it wasn’t hard nor chewy nor was it salty in anyway. I honestly believed I was eating blue cheese. My wife got a dish containing halloumi as well and also had the same issue . The coffee was fairly average too! All around we had a somewhat pleasant experience, however we will...

Lively little cafe in central packed with personality. The coffee is very good and the manager is excellent! Professional, attentive yet warm. Some of the staff are a little cold but it gets busy! I had the $13 fried eggs on sourdough with duqqa, chilli flakes and fresh basil - I’m not a big fan of duqqa on fried eggs as it turns out but it wasn’t too overpowering. The eggs were cooked sunny side up - which ensures a good portion of the yolk is runny but also means you have a thick film of uncooked slimy white surrounding the yolk. I tend to scrape this off before serving (if you are gentle it can be easily removed with a swipe) or go with sunny side over or poached to avoid the slime. They had run out of mixed grain but the sourdough was good quality. It is very cramped for breakfast but the atmosphere and art make it worth while. The bathroom is interesting - you are guided through the kitchen, through the storeroom hallway and into Father Ted’s pub via a...
