Olaf's Artisan Bakery Cafe

Popped in for a quick brunch while the Rugby World Cup final was on (how very unpatriotic).... Normally this place is cranking, but RWC23 seemed to have kept everyone at home, meant that service was SUPER quick. Cost $65 for 2x brunch meals, 2x coffees and 1x impulse buy cabinet item +Good strong Supreme coffee +Great onsite bakery with fresh artisan breads + Excellent cabinet food. Brunch (Mince on Toast and Eggs Benedict) was good, solid fare; eggs poached perfectly, bacon crispy, mince well-flavoured. Doesn't quite have the X-factor of Crave Cafe brunch, but definitely worth a stop in if you are in Mt Eden and have done Frasers, Circus Circus et al.

Olaf's Artisan Bakery Cafe is a solid choice for a quick and tasty meal. Overall the food was good, although the portions were on the smaller side for the price. As a bakery, I was also a bit disappointed that the meals didn't include more bread. However, these minor issues were easily overlooked due to the overall high quality of the meal. I tried the Gourmet Breakfast and paired it with an oat flat white, both of which were very tasty. The oat flat white, in particular, was creamy and smooth. While Olaf's may not offer the best value for money, the quality of the food and drinks more than make up for it. I would definitely recommend giving this bakery cafe a try and look forward to returning in the future.

Had the eggs benedict with spinach from the menu. Very nice food presentation but unfortunately taste was quite average (had to put on heaps of salt) and portion was rather small for the price which was a bit disappointing. Flat White (with Coffee Supreme) was delicious though, and service was friendly and quick. Also had the rosemary scone and the fig and fennel bread takeaway. Both were super yum.

Went in for some poached eggs and iced chocolate while my brother had the gourmet breakfast and iced mocha with shared duck fat wedges. Both meals were delicious and served within a good amount of time. The staff were beyond friendly and very helpful and sweet! I was not quite a fan of the cinnamon in the iced chocolate but it was still enjoyable. Both breakfasts were delightful! We will definitely be coming back here to try the other items on the menu and maybe some cabinet food! Great place to eat and relax :-)

I had the most amazing blueberry tart here. The tart itself looks pretty big, but was amazingly easy to consume. The sweetness of the tart was perfect, not overly sweet like the usual tarts you get in NZ. The blueberries were coated in a thin layer of what I could only describe as sweet jelly, which help remove the sourness. The cream was very light and has a smooth consistency, which makes the tart very easy to eat and won't make you feel heavy after eating one. The crust was crispy, but not too crumbly. Everything about this tart was just fantastic! Oh and also tried some of the breads here, they were quite good as well.
