Browns - Mount Wellington

Lovely food, great coffee and friendly atmosphere. I’m a regular visitor and love the savoury scones. But the pies are great too. Very hard to find a local cafe with such great food and variety.

All the food at Browns is generally nice, and the smoothies and coffee are great. The staff are friendly and I would highly recommend trying the gluten free brownie.

5/5. Self proclaimed eggs bene connoisseur here, and the eggs benedict here, is absolutely delightful.Eggs are always perfectly runny and everything else is simply spot on!!! At $16.50 in Auckland.... tell me that's not great!!! Coffee is nice and strong... just what you need first thing in the morning. Get yourselves here... it's a must!!!

Nice place to seat, have a coffee and some snack. Price is reasonable and coffee is OK. They also have a lot of options of sweets and savouries that worth a try.

This is a small cafe by todays standards maybe with 8 or 9 tables including outdoor seats. Roots are in delicatessen sales rather than the bakery trade and gourmet retail but there is a boutique level of cafe savouries, sweets and bread based foods. usual coffees and high end bottled juices. Having just been to a more midrange specialty baker at Ed's thought another comparison was in order on the gourmet pies. Browns use to sell the mini sized gourmet pies which never took my fancy unless a snack was needed. However now they stock some good sounding full sized pies for lunch. I had the portobello mushroom steak with red wine. Excellent eating what struck me was the good filling it was solid and not just gravy. Large tender beef pieces and great pastry with a sesame coating. This was a outstanding pie but it came at a price. At $5.90 it would be at the high end for gourmet pies. Not a complaint as its quality deserves the premium and its valued. Compared to say 3 $2 Big Ben pies from a dairy I'd suggest you'd feel similarly full and not have indigestion from the fat you'd consumed. Can't wait to find a reason to try another pie. Update from this weekend tried the corned beef salad roll and this was fulling and taste great with clearly fresh sharp flavours and super textured herb bread roll. 10/10
