The local coffe spot, came here on a wednesday night (one of the few cafes open at night around the city). Shared a banoffee pie which is always awesome and only around $7. And a soy hot chocolate. Staff are friendly - just not quite enough tables inside which is a shame.

Always like coming back here for a cuppa tea.

i should know i STILL make it lol!....YUM!... worked at frasers for 7 yrs one of the places  where i learnt the craft of great cake making <3

I haven't been here for dinner but I am here at least once a month for coffee and cake.This place has such a good vibe and the sweets in the cabinet always look amazing

Consistently good food and coffee, we're regulars here :)

The selection of cakes and slices in the cabinet is amazing. They make great hot chocolates and the place is always busy at night. I’ve eaten food from the brunch and lunch menu and it’s great too!

Love the waffles! Can get crowded at night and weekends, but probably because they have some good cakes!

I like Frasers - it has a great community atmosphere and the staff are some of the most hard working I have ever seen (maybe they are overworked? There is a very high staff turn over...)  If you are okay with paying a bit more for lunch, you are spoiled for choice with the menu. But the soup, sandwiches, quiches, scones and muffins would definitely fill you up if you don't want to spend as much. The coffee is mostly great - I have had a few duds but they are always willing to replace a bad coffee. Frasers is open at all hours - but you can never rely on getting a table because it is packed a lot of the time.  There are so many loyal regulars at Frasers it would be lovely if the owners acknowledged this with a loyalty card system.

We used to come here after school when we were able....the artworks are always exceptional. A true local gem.

Yet another Mt. Eden cafe. Back in the 90s this place was a Dr. Suess-themed cafe called Solla Sollew, featuring Dr. Suess murals on all the walls and really cool coffee cups printed with Suess drawings. I always wondered whether the estate of Theodor Geisel got wind and threatened legal action. Anyhoo - in its current guise as Frasiers it has become something of an Auckland cafe institution - a busy daytime cafe which also serves restaurant meals at night, and is open late enough the catch the coffee-and-a-slice-of-cake crowd too. The cooked meals are generally pretty good, and the cakes really shine - especially the banoffee pie, which really is exceptional.

I got recommended this place by a friend - so glad I went. The Israeli Cous Cous (full of fresh basil and lots of Haloumi) was delicious and my friends dishes looked equally as yummy.
