My wife and I went to the Cafe Melba Takapuna for brunch on a Sunday. The place was quite full so we thought we would give it a try. It was definitely a nice surprise. Service - Great service. Very friendly and efficient. They always seem to notice when you need something and come quickly to help out despite how busy they were. Food - The corn fritter was great and my wife thinks its one of the best in town. My chorizo omelette was ok but needs a bit of sauce and would make it great. Latte was great but hot chocolate was a bit bland although the drawing on top was nice :D Value - $41.50 for 2 dish and 2 drinks which is acceptable. Was full so that was a plus. Atmosphere - Nice little cafe and a good place to hide away from the rain/sun if need be. Overall - Great little cafe and would return next time. The service definitely won me over :D
Cafe Melba is a great family friendly cafe. The staff here can turn a simple coffee into a work of art. Nananana Batman, is one of the many different pieces of art i have had created in a cup. This place is always clean and tidy and tables are cleaned quickly and efficiently. Staff always try to accommodate you, and they offer quick and fantastically friendly service. This is a family favourate and one place we visit often as it is somewhere that always does great food and offer fantastic service. And to be honest how many cafes can offer you a batman picture in a cup?
Menu is fantastic, need to go back to try everything as such choice and all good. Food is yummy. Sevice is always excellent, staff happy to go the extra mile and the atmosphere is comfortable and cheerful. Great hot chocolate. Prefer to go without the kids to savour the experience but when I have taken my toddlers they are always well catered for. Excellent place.
Had a yummy lunch today at Melba. They always do great food but had a fantastic special today! Grilled chicken salad with winter roast veges! It was so good! Fresh and full of flavour! The staff are so friendly! Although they have a kids menu my daughter prefers to eat sides for lunch bacon and baked beans! Highly recommend this great family friendly cafe!!
