That is epic to have lived on Crummer Road! So good to get to call Crumb your local for a time. That's just such a primo part of Auckland. I'd utterly love to live around there.
I'll have to give the mince on toast a crack at Orphan's Kitchen next time I'm up too!
Absolutely Davo! I've already planned a perfect family day out up there -
We should stay at The Convent Hotel in Grey Lynn - super artsy, but not extravagant or egotistical. There's a restaurant in the hotel, Ada, which has been awarded two hats (like Michelin stars, but without the tyre reference).
I think you would utterly love Annabel's Wine Bar and Beau.
There's also a fancy cocktail bar on Ponsonby Road called Deadshot, which I have sadly never actually tried myself.. we should check it out! One day :)
I would say there's 5 other spots in Auckland that are pretty amazing:
Newmarket - The Candy shop next to Duck Island - perfect opportunity for Coffee and Gelato.
Parnell - Red Rabbit excellence in the highest order in the roasting chic rustic cafe with some of the best coffee in New Zealand.
Eden Terrace - The hideout is a Kokako coffee cafe that offers a solid range of food with a great atmosphere in literally what feels like a hideout.
Mt Eden Village - Rad Cafe they have a large space in the heart of Mt Eden a short walk from My Eden itself it offers a large range of food along with there own special coffee blend which offers a delightfully unique taste.
The final one I have not been too but they just opened up I believe 1-2 weeks ago. Based in O'Connel street Tours Cafe offers a great experience according to daily daily owners.
Awesome additions Aaron. Great shout on Candy Shop - I have had a few sensational brunches there. As for the rest, I can't wait to get back to Auckland to give them a go :)
Thanks for that Aaron! And great suggestions for some additions to the list. Hoping to get up to Auckland for the Aeropress champs, and I'll make sure I hit some of these bad boys up and do a follow up! Thanks heaps!
Epic post. Thank Matt for the input and bringing these cafes to my attention. The next time I come up to Auckland I will be sure to check out as many of these spots as I can.
Loved it. Great edition, thank you.
Was up in Auckland this past week and had a trip down memory lane.
Crumb was my local café when I lived on Crummer Road, drove past it last week and sadly it’s now a florist, broke my heart a little :(
Was at Ozone on Friday morning, what a spot – love it.
Massively agree about Orphans Kitchen – side note the mince on toast there is a triumph.
Daily Daily is epic and also has an incredible range of drinking vessels – beautiful Japanese ceramics which I am into in a massive way.
Some other great cafes that I really enjoy are:
• Daily Bread (point chev)
• Postal Service Café
Just rolled into Postal Service Cafe - great recommend Tomo
Hi Tom, thanks for the comments!

Thanks for the recommendations :)
How underrated is mince on toast?
Thanks for that one Tom! Sounds like the closure of Crumb broke many hearts.
Those other spots sound awesome as well - there will defo need to be a part 2.
Open to contributions brother... DO IT
Phenomenal article - utterly loved it. Next time I’m in Auckland, I know where I’m going…

He must have learned from the best!
Legit. My brother's a writer! He has steered me towards excellent drinks and literature on numerous occasions.
Fantastic post!
Glad you picked up on Daily Daily

Thanks Drumming Barista! I'd love to know how you get on when you make the trip up.
So awesome right? And see some more spots suggested by Aaron.
