Marua Road Cafe

We ordered the big breakfast and Spanish omelette. The eggs were cooked and seasoned nicely, and the omelette was nice. The sausage was very meaty and cheesy, I liked it, and rosti was very crispy and seasoned perfectly. I would work on the mushrooms, maybe halves instead of slices, and bread, more butter conditioned so it can easily spread. Very reasonably priced. A near perfect brunch thank you

Popped by for a biscuit and it was tasty. Lovely friendly service and super comfortable looking tables and seats. The only thing making me hesitate in returning for a sitdown meal was the fact that the entire cafe was full of the cooking fumes from the open kitchen, so it was difficult to breathe even during the short time I was there. But the service and ambience was so lovely, I may give it a go later, as maybe the kitchen fan wasn't working when I went there.

This place is clearly a labor of love. The staff are lovely and welcoming. I would come back to the staff alone. The food was good but not the best I've ever had either. Just ok; it felt a like it was trying to be fancier than it needed to be. Still good! Just wish it was more "straight forward" (An egg with avocado and tomato instead of avocado with peas mixed in and tomatoes on the side if that makes sense?)

While I was staying at an Airbnb nearby I had the opportunity to visit this cafe for a few days in a row. I became a "regular" there during my visit. I really enjoyed the food, the latte and the latte art too (thank you, V!!) I also got to chat with Clarissa, who's the owner, who is a warm and welcoming person. This cafe has rare qualities -- good food, good people and a cozy atmosphere. I rarely come across cafes during my travels that make me wish I was a local and Marua Road Cafe is definitely one of them. If you are visiting or in the area, I highly recommend going here. They have pastries made in-house too, by Clarissa herself!

This place is great! There are plenty of good food options in Auckland, but what sets the bar for this Cafe is the service. We were greeted by the owner (I think) who gave us a table where a box of toys were to occupy our toddler while we enjoyed lunch together. All staff were friendly and we felt very welcome. Well priced also. Will be back. Best spot in Mt Wellington.
