I've only recently found The Lodge Cafe.  My first visit I used the voucher from the entertainment book, and have since been back twice.  I have found the service to be very friendly and the food of a very high standard.

These guys always make room for us out on the deck and Indie gets a big bowl of water and a quick snooze under the hedge

Used a Groupon Voucher here today. Was impressed by the staff service, and the food was AWESOME. We will be back again no doubt.

I don’t think anything could have improved with The Lodge. It was a perfect brunch with great coffee and brilliant service. We were looked after by a man with yellow glasses who treated us like royalty, along with the rest of the staff! The food was delicious and I liked the fact they used free range eggs for those who are conscious consumers! Anyone shopping at St. Luke’s or at Unitec who are wanting a nice cafe for lunch should definitely check out The Lodge. Will be back for sure!

The lodge has delicious coffee. The food is not anything too exciting but it's pretty solid. The staff are friendly and it's a good Mt Albert local. Decor is nothing special although you can sit in the sun and look out towards the city. A good Sunday morning coffee stopover. 

Coffe and food here are consistently good, great job guys!

And the carrot cakes are Devine!

We were looking for somewhere to go for lunch and decided on The Lodge. It was brilliant. Nice decor, fantastic food, great service - what more can you ask for? None of us had been there before and we were all extremely impressed. We are already planning our next trip!

Stopped in to grab something to eat. They made me up a sandwich to order, no hassle. Wonderful service, great coffee!!!
