The coffee was really good, and I liked that the service is so attentively. Because of the hall it can be really loud when it´s full but apart from this it's absolutely nice. I didn't eat any food so I can't make a review about this, but it looked really delicious from the others. And, I don't know if it's common here but everyone gets a bottle of water for free, that's really nice and isn't common in my home country. Also the bird was cute.

Great service, delicious food, yummy coffee, nice location! The banana loaf portion could be a bit more, but other than that great prices for the excellent quality of the food. Hot stacks (pancakes with chili) are excellent. Will come again :)

I recently visited Besties Café in Auckland CBD, and it was a cozy and delightful experience. We ordered the Hotcake Stack with Bacon and the Toastie, which came with sourdough bread, a fried egg, and little pickles, along with a flat white. The Hotcake Stack was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The pancakes were fluffy, and the bacon added a nice salty contrast, making the dish indulgent and satisfying. It was a hearty option for breakfast, and the portion size was just right. The Toastie was simple yet well-executed. The sourdough was toasted to perfection—crispy on the outside and soft inside. The fried egg paired nicely with the tangy pickles, creating a delightful mix of flavors. It’s a great option if you’re looking for something quick and light yet flavorful. The flat white was spot on as well—smooth and well-balanced, with the right amount of richness. It was a nice complement to the meal and rounded out the experience perfectly. Overall, Besties Café is a great spot for a casual breakfast or brunch in the heart of Auckland CBD. The cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food make it worth a visit. Whether you're in the mood for something sweet like the Hotcake Stack or something more savory like the Toastie, you'll leave satisfied!

I loved this place and the food was delicious. Went here with my bestie and the quality is really good, I was not able to finish my pancake stack. The string fries was just sooo good. Highly recommend when you in the city.

The waitress was delightful. While we appreciated the sign about being short-staffed, we were disappointed when customers who arrived after us were served first, despite ordering similar meals. We had the chili fried egg with sourdough, a latte, a flat white, and the chili pancake stack. The food was average, the ambiance was decent, and the service was satisfactory. However, walking through Myers Park was the highlight of our visit.

We loved Bestie Cafe! We've been in auckland for a couple of days and returned there several times. All meals were excelllent - pancakes (with salted butter), poached eggs, mushrooms on toast, and even the chocolate chip cookie was incredible! Staff is very kind, excellent service. Highly recommended!

I love bestie cafe! I have come several times and each time the food and coffee are great. The view of the sky tower is beautiful. The staff are welcoming and kind. My favorite cafe in Aukland. The toastie with fried egg was delicious and the hot cakes as well. Their counter has a nice selection of treats and I love the veggie sandwich!

The food we got was excellent. Tomatoes on toast and a coffee was the perfect way to start our day, and the service was friendly and prompt. Very cute location with lots of seating, and if you catch it at the right angle, you get a nice view of the Tower.

Bestie Cafe is situated inside the food court of St. Kevin Arcade off of K road, at the top of Myers Park in Auckland. They serve breakfast, lunch or brunch and the cafe is for casual dining. After helping ourselves to a table, the wait staff took our order. My eyes caught the hangover burger aka the cure, it's Cumberland sausage patty with over easy egg, cheese some pickles and a bun. It was freshly made and filling. I loved the outdoor dining setting and the spectacular view, although your really not outdoors but rather in quaint food hall shared by several restaurants in the arcade. It's definitely a must try when in the area.

Just had breakfast here which was so good. Traveling around New Zealand from the UK this is definitely the best so far. I had the avocado charred asparagus and poach eggs on midnight baker freedom loaf with shiitake mushroom purée and lots of other fantastic things. The coffee excellent as well.
