The Shelf - Auckland

The staff were great at accommodating dietary preferences and were happy to swap items on the set menu to create a delicious vegan breakfast. #Veganuary

The place is very well-decorated and staff are nice and attentive. The food is delicious and well-portioned but definitely on the pricier side of brunch food.<br/ <br/ I ordered their waffles and added bacon to it, which was a delicious addition to the meal but quite pricey for what it was. The food was delicious and filling and presented very nicely.<br/ One small point that was a bit awkward was my friend's food came out way earlier than mine (by about 10-15min) and so waiting to start eating together was a bit of a problem. But other than that, the food was good and service was fine.<br/ <br/ Overall, would recommend this place as a nice spot for brunch every once in a while with friends or even alone but is less realistic as a daily lunch spot.

The atmosphere here was so great. One of the go to places for a coffee in Auckland. The food and desserts here were great too. Came here multiple times and was never disappointed.

Atmosphere was amazing, it felt so cozy to be inside. I loved the wooden plates that was used to serve the food/drinks (which tasted good and made us full). Coffee design was also a plus!

I was delighted to find this charming cafe. I sampled their hot chocolate, deconstructed mocha, and regular flat white. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with friends. I enjoyed all of their beautifully presented drinks and will definitely be back for the hot chocolate and to try some of their food.
