Neat :)

I went here for the first time and was quite pleasantly surprised.  We were one of the few diners there at the time and the waiter was very friendly and accommodating.  The food and service were great and I would come back :) Really good price for the food too!! They made a dam good hot chocolate!! yum!

Sounds great :)

The back yard is fully fenced and spacious, with plenty of space for the kids to play in (including a sandpit).  This is a good place to come on a sunny day, where you can sit out the back and watch the kids while you relax with a coffee.  If you aren't ravenous, I recommend the big breakfast, it isn't particularly large but it is one of the tastiest I have ever had.

Sounds lovely :)

Nice to find consistently good coffee in West Auckland. The cabinet food always looks delicious (though it sells quickly on a sunny day) and is reasonably priced, items from the menu are a little more expensive - I've yet to try them.

Great :)

I've met friends and family at Luscious on a number of occassions, a funky out west cafe which offers an array of tasty delights, served by helpful, friendly staff. Fantastic on a summery, or sunny day as there's a garden area which is kitted out for the younguns in the family. There's even a tree ... a big, real one! The food is lovely (and we often take some home for later) and the service good. Artwork for sale and industrial-funk interior, which is fab. Can be a bit noisy inside and I suggest sitting away from the door, but all in all, if you've venturing out West or live nearby, and if it's not already a regular, pop by and enjoy a coffee and cake.

We really enjoy this local cafe.  The staff are always welcoming and helpful.  The food is really good.  And, the cafe is a great place for our kids with a safe outdoor area with sandpit, toys, chalkboard etc.

I have been to Luscious several times. I have always found the atmosphere very pleasant, and the staff really friendly and helpful. I have always had beautiful food off the menu. Have ordered from the cabinet once or twice, and it wasn't completely hot the first time. The second time they forgot me and my husband (we reminded them a few times, but it was a very busy day) and we waited half an hour before we had to go because my lunch break was finished. They were so lovely and apologetic though, and gave us our lunches for free to takeaway, so I definately didn't see it as a negative experience. It happens. The venue is lovely, and the big outdoors is perfect for kids to run round. All in all, very very nice.

Super review :)

My partner and I have been to Luscious twice now for wine tasting nights with a group of friends. We had an absolute blast both times we have gone, and have thoroughly enjoyed some amazing food and wine.  The first time we went, we tried 7 French wines all paired perfectly with 7 courses.  It was wonderful learning about each wine, with a speaker talking between each tasting.  The crowd was quite friendly, and even though we went with a couple of friends, we left with a few more!   The staff are wonderfully friendly, and Carlos is such a great guy!  He remembered us the second time we went for another tasting event just last night.  Last night's event was just as much fun, and the food and wine were just as wonderful the second time, as the first. We would definitely go again, and plan to!
