Wander Café, Bistro and Wine Bar — Restaurant in Waitematā

We came here for breakfast on a Sunday and had a mixed, but mostly positive experience. Their smashed avo on multigrain toast was certainly a stunner, with a huge portion of well seasoned avo, loaded on a thick slice of perfectly toasted multigrain bread. The sides we added (streaky bacon and mushrooms) were also beautifully cooked. The Buddha bowl however was slightly underwhelming - the separate parts were great but as a whole the flavours clashed. We got their pineapple cake as takeaway and to our dismay it had a very overpowering bitterness and dryness distinct of too much baking powder - and hopefully it was just a mishap.

Food was well presented, and tasted as good as it looked .Great range of dishes too choose from and a very nice wine list . I'm a coeliac and they catered for me wonderfully. We've been back there 3 times in 2 weeks for lunch . After regular lunches here over the last few months I can post an up too date review: food portions have dropped off and can be a little inconsistent, which is a bit disappointing. Waitress Lucy is brilliant and has learnt our team of guys choices for food and drinks. Robyn on the coffee and drinks front is nailing it every time ,I haven't had to return or adjust my coffee; I'm fussy when it comes to coffee . Because we only have an hour for lunch theses ladies look after us well to keep us on schedule, cheers Girls most...

It shows a very professional and customer-focused approach. I went from feeling annoyed to feeling immensely grateful and valued. I will definitely keep going to Wander and recommend it to everyone.
