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.
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.
