Bowler Wynyard Quarter

I've seen many fancy colorful Acai balls in different countries, but I had my very first Acai ball here in Bowler. It wasn't that fancy looking rather simple, but you know, that must be the best effort in NZ 😅 The ball was very reshreshing with a good harmony of the almond butter, cacao and fresh fruits. Dining area was a bit dark, maybe because of the gloomy weather on that day.

Really didn't know what to expect. I've stuck to the beef brisket with the half rice half salad. The portions are generous and the food is really tasty. Not too heavy for lunch even though the portion size is on the larger side. Really worth a try! I've been going as a regular now

Great service with a smile. Great coffee and perfect temperature. Minimal modern cafe. Location ideal for a brunch date.

This place is no longer Williams Eatery - it’s now Bowler! They offer a fantastic selection of bowls, letting you choose from chicken, beef, or salmon, with bases of either brown rice, salad, or a mix of both. There are plenty of healthy options to enjoy here. I visited Bowler with my colleagues to check out the new spot, and it didn’t disappoint. The experience was wonderful! The staff were friendly and personally called out our names from the counter when our bowls were ready. It got quite busy during lunchtime, but at $17.90 per bowl, the price felt reasonable and well worth it. So far, I’ve tried the Free-Range Chicken Bowl (No. 1) and the Mt. Cook Salmon Bowl (No. 4). Both were absolutely delicious! The brown rice base is perfect if you’re looking for a more filling meal. The bowls focus on highlighting the natural flavours of the ingredients, with no heavy sauces - just fresh, wholesome goodness. I enjoyed Williams, and now I am loving Bowler too. I’ll definitely be coming here more often for lunch. Highly recommended!

Appreciating these final warm-ish mornings here in Auckland, I went out for breakfast with my wonderful team at Williams Eatery in Wynyard Quarters. The ambiance and service were delightful, complemented by excellent coffee and a decent breakfast selection. Every dish was thoughtfully presented and promptly served. This time, I opted for the Fig Toast, enticed by its promising description and hoping for a refreshing start to my day. Regrettably, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. While nicely presented, I found the feta overpowering and the fig lacking in flavor (truth be told, the figs I’ve had lately seem to lack their usual taste). I would appreciate a more harmonious balance of flavors in this dish, considering its appealing combination of ingredients. Despite my experience with the Fig Toast, I still find Williams Eatery a charming breakfast spot and look forward to returning to sample other items on their menu when I’m back in town.

One of my fave cafe, their menu is awesome, food always taste delicious and their pastured egg is the BEST! Great ambience and excellent customer service, definitely must visit this cafe A+

Lovely brunch in Auckland. We thoroughly enjoyed the menu here, the service was quick and the food was tasty. We had flat whites and mimosas, sat in the sun in a bustling environment. For our food we chose the poached eggs on sourdough with a side of smoked salmon, and the blueberry French toast. Really really good. The best brunch we had in Auckland.

Super beautiful coffee shop and restaurant. Recommended by a local and it did not disappoint. I had some classic long blacks and a sour cherry jam scone. All things were prepared with care. I would return and will recommend to friends.
