This café may be modest from the outside, but it has a truly urban courtyard out the back and simple seating inside in an unpretentious environment.
The food is great and inexpensive and the coffee is consistently excellent.
Service is friendly, personal and fast, and the customers are an interesting mix.
Strawberry alarm clock is my favourite cafe in Parnell, and one of my favourites in general. The food is good value, delicious and plentiful. The flat whites are incredible and the chai lattes similarly top notch. All that, plus lovely staff and an absolutely adorable courtyard out back makes this a fantastic Sunday brunch destination. Or any day really. Yum!

This is an oasis in the increasingly pretentious glut of cafes and bars that characterise Auckland!
