Bestie Cafe - Auckland

You can always count on Bestie for delicious food, excellent coffee, and fantastic service. The cardamom rice porridge topped with rhubarb and oat crumble is absolutely divine. It’s both comforting and flavorful, yet still feels like a healthy breakfast that sustains you throughout the day. My dad ordered the bubble and squeak with bacon, which was a bit salty but not in an unpleasant way. We also shared a side of deep-fried halloumi that is definitely a must-try!

I visited to try the new Jelly Tip French toast, and it was fantastic! The combination of chocolate, ice cream, Graham crackers, and dehydrated raspberries was perfectly balanced. They could have easily named it a s'more because it definitely made me crave more!

I enjoyed a cold brew at this restaurant, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I especially loved the vintage decor and the view of the Sky Tower. The staff were kind and friendly as well. Next time, I'll be sure to try something from their branch menu!

First time having lunch here on a weekend It was great to see the sun shining and people chatting compared to the cold quiet atmosphere when I used to have a quick breakfast before work (which has a merit of its own, their muesli is delicious as well .Lunch was great, I ordered their french toast bacon and it was just the right amount of sweetness with thick bread along with poached fejoa and icecream. Portion wise it was perfect for me, but my friends thought the portion was smaller than other places.My friends ordered the flatbread with chorizo, and the eggs on sourdough dish mushroom halloumi fries (yummy Service is great, might take a bit longer to grab someone's attention as it is busy but once attended to all is prompt. There was no highchair so take note to take your own baby seat if required :

I rarely go to cafes if you had noticed it, the flavours I got from these places does not match with the flavour profile that I want and grew up with but sometimes there are places that are exceptions like this place we have now. Bestie Cafe located in K’Roads St Kevin’s Arcade is one of those, this hip and vintage like cafe may not look inviting to most but they do serve some great food. The place looks old, the menu will freak out the inner OCD in you but who cares if the food is great especially when you are seated on that big window that looks over Myers Park.
