Fort Greene

The coffee here is very good and quite strong. Their Danish pastries are also great — I tried the walnut pain au chocolate, and it had plenty of chocolate filling without being too sweet, just right. The staff were warm and welcoming, and they explained the menu in detail. The atmosphere is nice as well. I’ll come back next time to try their sourdough. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Been to Fort Green twice, located on K-Road. Discovered in 2023 while browsing one morning before an event, and visited again in 2024 when in Auckland as the last leg of my journey. Great service and friendly staff, great location, and great food both times! Always seems to be well populated with diners, and probably one of my first overall choices.

Come for the Ruben Sandwich and stay for the coffee/pastry combo. A friendly cafe with an excellent choice of delicious breakfast bites and good quality coffee. Only minor issue is the few dubious people whom roam the area. However, I assume where the government has failed, the local business owners have stepped up by employing a security company.

This café is an absolute delight! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy charm that makes you want to linger over your coffee. The croissants 🥐 are truly outstanding—flaky, buttery, and freshly baked to perfection. You can tell they’re made with real care and quality ingredients. The egg dishes are just as impressive—beautifully prepared, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Whether you go for a classic scrambled plate or something more creative, every bite feels like comfort food elevated to gourmet level. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the service feels personal without ever being rushed. It’s the kind of place that instantly becomes a favorite spot for breakfast or brunch. Highly recommend stopping by—you’ll definitely want to come back for those croissants! 🥐🍳☕

Great little cafe. Freshly baked croissants, pan au chocolate, almond croissant. My fave ! So good that I had to buy a box to take with me back to Christchurch. Really close to where we are staying at Parkside Hotel too which is a bonus. Will be back again next time we are in Auckland. Thank you team.

Awesome pastries in a cozy spot on K road. Cannot recommend the parmesan and chilli honey knot enough. We will definitely be back for more!

Went to Fort Greene for brunch with my wife after the place had been recommended by our friends. We’re French and quite pedantic when it comes to bread 🥖 and croissant 🥐. But everything was fresh and deliciously homemade. Staff was young, professional and upbeat. A great place to start your day.

I'm French, and pastries are part of my culture. I've tried many cafes, but if you're looking for high-quality, handcrafted pastries at a good price, this is the place to stop! Their almond croissants are delicious, and everything else is wonderful too. The staff is incredibly kind! A little anecdote: one day I left the cafe without paying (thinking I'd already paid), and the staff very kindly caught up with me to tell me I'd forgotten. I felt terribly embarrassed, but the long-haired waiter was incredibly kind and remained very polite. Thank you for this beautiful lesson in humanity!

Very lovely place, delicious and fresh food and if you're in for baking your own sourdough bread you must order Andrea's sourdough starter kit. I can't wait to get back to NZ and visit Fort Greene again!

Place and food was amazing. Yummy coffee and perfectly scrambled eggs. Loved the interior and the view out to the street. The service may seem a tad rushed and impatient, but the smile was in there somewhere. A place really worth visiting.

Liam & Andrea are super dedicated people. I followed them from the street food collective to their permanent home here in Saint Kevin's Arcade. Simply put, they care! They really, really care about their customers. They have fostered a great customer base in K'rd, but that doesn't mean they won't take care of you. Because they absolutely will! Right, food.... F'ing amazing. Liam is a Bread nerd! He will work his sour dough until it is perfect. Not great, okay or acceptable..., perfect. His scone recipe is hard to get than KFC's 11 herbs and spices. Personally I have tried them all. They're all well thought out, meticulously presented & constructed with love. Next time you are looking for a sandwich..... do your stomach a favour & your soul a favour. Come support a small, family cafe. Support Fort Greene

The food was quite delicious, but the customer service is absolutely horrendous. The staff was rude from the moment I walked in. Will definitely not be back anytime soon.

We loved this restaurant in Auckland! All fresh ingredients, everything made from scratch in-house. Truly delicious and filling. The bread is amazing, as is the bacon. We also enjoyed breakfast eggs and lunch sandwiches. Highly recommended!

This place is phenomenal. I almost didn't eat here because the Reuben was 19.5, which is a little pricey for lunch, but Fort Greene has a very artisan vibe, so I decided to try it out. It may have been the best Reuben I have ever had in my life. I decided to get a brownie as well, it was good but not nearly as good as the Reuben. Its a hole in the wall place but it was really quite good. I will definitely be eating here again.

Fantastic spot. Sandwiches, bread etc are incredible. As they they, they make restaurant quality meals in between 2 slices of bread. Freshest and best ingredients - both the smoked kahawai and lamb sand which are superb great coffe too.
