Melba Hillsborough - Auckland

Very nice place to chill and have a cup of coffee. I loved their Beef Cheek, it is super tender. The other day I tried their Melba’s breakfast, it was very good. I loved almost everything especially the scrambled eggs. However, I waited long (30-45 mins? for my breakfast on the weekend. I had to ask the staff twice to check on my breakfast, and no words from them. I guess you just got to avoid the weekends

The coffee was great! The food was okay. I found the lamb tacos to be a bit bland, and the meat itself was very hard and chewy, not as tender as i would have liked it to be. The spinach I got with my croquette benedict was way too salty. Having said that, the experience was lovely, and the staff and service were absolutely wonderful!

Outstanding meal here! I'm sad I didn't take a photo but the food arrived and I dug in immediately 3 of us ordered the salmon hash (hope that's the right name) with my hubby ordering the chowder. And all meals were outstanding! Staff were attentive and provided a separate menu when I mentioned I was coeliac. Really impressed and will definitely go back

Went for lunch with some friends after playing some dodgeball nearby. Lots of selection and some nice outdoor seating (indoor looked pretty cozy as well). I had a chicken and cranberry sandwich and really enjoyed it (not bad for only $10).

Got greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. They were very attentive while I waited for my guest. Food was good and drinks were yum.
