Bach'n Cafe And - Auckland

With a midweek day off and beautiful winter sunshine, my son and I decided to head out to the beach for some fun and vitamin D. Many times in the weekend we've been past Bach'n and it has always been too full to try so I figured that midweek might give us a shot. We entered and selected a front table by the window. I didn't see any high chairs so I'm not sure if they're available but the tables are suitable for portable clip on high chairs. Our waitress was very friendly and took our order promptly, including maintaining her service with a smile when I popped up to the counter to add a fluffy to the drinks order.<br/ We ordered the potato skins to share and this turned out to be the perfect amount for a light meal. The cheese was delicious, but the ability to add a little more to taste would have been ideal. The hot beverages were where Bach'n fell down a little the mocha had a ridiculous amount of froth whereas the fluffy had barely any, much to my son's disappointment. Still, these were minor bug bears in the grand scheme of things.<br/ If you're looking to visit during the weekend or during summer I suggest you make a booking the views just can't be beat. But it's also worth a visit on a stunning midwinter weekday; just avoid getting the fluffy.<br/ <br/ Sarah Reynolds #challenge

Friendly staff makes all the difference, great affordable lunch menu too. I booked outside weather permitting, 4 of us celebrating my birthday. Due to windy weather, they showed initiative and consideration by reserving us a table just inside the doors, with a view across the road to the beach. This suited my elderly mum well too. Service was prompt, food great, and staff went the extra mile to chat to us and particularly mum. Thanks you made our day!

We haven't been to Bach'n Cafe for ages as the service was so bad. A friend commented that it was under new management (no idea when they took over but this is something they should probably advertise! so we thought we'd give it a shot. We had brunch and the food was fantastic and beautifully presented. The staff were all very friendly and the service was great. We're going back!!

I must be from another planet. Alipate. Went out for days outing as a visitor/traveller with my wife. Been all around the world but as an Expat and having read the reviews, you get what you paid for and from the Mussel menu to the Burgers and Chips out of 5, I rate it 5. OMG, what negativity we Kiwis and others expect. The scenery was worth the 5 alone and well worth the lovely drive out. Staffing, well after I had a friendly chat with Mr George the owner, I could appreciate the young staff, for God sake give it time? Never judge a book by its cover and the place needs work, but all in good time. For what it's worth, we loved it and thank all the staff especially the Chefs, keep up the GOOD work, well done, Cheers. If back in NZ again you're on top of my list and Kiwi/others, chillax OMG! :

Exceptional breakfast. Very warm reception from new owner, staff and an open fire. Will definitely be back thank you and would certainly highly recommend to anyone. Not to mention the view!!
