Reviews of The Shelf
K. B.Really lovely atmosphere. The food was good and served quickly. Super friendly staff too!
V. C.A nice quiet atmosphere. The shelf is a nice place to study or catch up with a friends. It’s convenient that they open early as I need to be in the city even earlier to attend my 8ams 😊. Just a tad pricey though but definitely worth, whether it’s for a quick coffee or a hearty brunch, I would definitely recommend going to The Shelf 👍
M. D.Good place for breakfast. The big breakfast was quite filling and delicious. The lighting is really dim (not sure if that is part of the aesthetic) but otherwise a really good experience. Would recommend!
H. A.Knew this place like years, heard so much about it, it doesn’t mean that gonna raise my expectation or anything.
Typical cafe service, walked in and got told to grab a menu and could sit anywhere we like. Not friendly nor rude manner, just not much intersections.
Placed orders at the counter, had a quick browse over the cabinet food, good options.
Food and drinks didn’t take too long to arrive but a bit slower than expected cause there weren’t much people.
Reasonable presentation but the taste of food was really average. The waffle was way too hard and dry.
Nice environment and cozy. Might need more attention to tidy up and make the place glowing again.
Not a bad first impression but definitely not good either. Maybe should return to try one more time. :)
M. D.Very cute cafe, coffee was good, tiramisu was quite bitter and I think they put too much bailey or sth. Loved the idea of deconstructed hot choc but it didnt dissolve quite well. Will be back to try their food!
J.Highly recommend!! Excellent coffee and food!. The best overall cafe experience. We come by every Saturday for breakfast 😊
C. A.Excellent place for a a morning coffee or breakfast. They have a wide variety of food which is great. Had the eggs Benedict and they were the best I’ve ever had. Also had a strawberry milkshake which was amazing. Will be back!
D. D.Absolutely LOVE this place. Amazing toast, very simple but delicious nonetheless. My go to place before uni !!!
C. L.Amazing place!!
The drink, food and people there are nice!
I love the ice latte and pasta. I have been there several times. I enjoyed the drink/atmosphere and worked with my laptop for a few hours.
Today, I visited there again. I ordered ice latte and a pice of slice. Then I focused on work, kept busy with my laptop. And forgot the time!!! The staff at cafe didn’t kick me out/ask me to leave. They waited for me for a while - maybe 1 hour or longer : (sorry)
I left until I realized it was 5pm. THANK YOU THE SHELF. I feel the great kindness.
M. C.Great Cafe, truly excellent coffee and friendly vibe. Great to be back!
D. K.Lovely little cafe / restaurant. Delicious coffee and food. Very friendly staff, who gave me a free coffee for my birthday. Nice Korean / Western breakfast fusion.
P. S.Really nice and cozy place for having a breakfast/lunch and/or coffee with great atmosphere👌☕️ 😋
B. U.Came by for breakfast/brunch for a handing in celebration. A friend recommended this place because of their deconstructed iced mocha. There were quite a few tables along the restaurant. We grabbed menus and a table and then went up to order. We did notice that one of the stools on the table by the door kept falling off the ledge as people tried to get on.
Both the waffles and french toast looked interesting so we got one each and shared. The freak shakes on the menu also looked quite interesting so grabbed a few of those as well.
I wouldn't go for the freak shakes again. We got the tim tam (caramel) and oreo one. Both were quite icy and not as flavourful as we were hoping. They tasted mostly of milk and vanilla.
The food, on the other hand, was quite nice. The french toast was very eggy and quite airy, both of which I liked. The waffles had a good texture, crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside. I liked the flavours of both and candyfloss on top was great.
i would probably come back for the food but maybe not the drinks.
V. V.Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The only thing that annoys me a lot is very blunt knife. It's a strenuous activity to cut food with the knife provided!
f. b.Great spot for breakfast. Staff very quiet and shy it seems though. Food is quality and coffee good to. They have done well with the space they have to create a cafe atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting
T. S.The shelf is a cute little cafe tucked in along High st.
I come here in the weekends for a takeaway coffee.
Though I've never eaten here before, I see the food as it comes out from the kitchen and it looks delicious. The cabinet food looks great as well.
I think the owners run the front counter and make the coffees (at least on weekends) so it is nice to see an owner operated place do well.
A. M.Absolutely love this cafe, it's quickly become my local. The food and drinks are delicious and the team are very friendly and welcoming.
E. O.We regularly visit this cafe and enjoy the fresh food and excellent espresso. The staff are super friendly and the environment is nice to sit and stay a while to enjoy. Definitely one of our favorite local coffee shops we would recommend for anyone! I am also a vegetarian and especially enjoy the wide selection they always offer.
E. L.Like the friendly staffs and the decoration and style of the cafe which provides lovely ambiance for friends or alone. The waffle i ordered looks nice and tastes classic, though i did not have any Belgium stuffs before. Lemon and Lime Aid tastes a bit sour.
K. T.Great coffee, and super-friendly staff.
My go-to cafe almost every day!
R. B.Went in for a Mocha and did not expect this..... Coffee with a choc bar and a shot of chocolate Best Mocha I have ever had. Will be back again soon...
D. M. C.Little cute cafe on high street. The service is great, even though there was only one person on the floor, coffee and food were quick. I had the scramble eggs on toast which were delightful. The eggs were creamy and soft, cooked to perfection. Loved the way they serve their coffee, super cute. I would definitely recommend it and certainly coming back
Z. S.Nice interior and reasonably quiet for cafe on busy street. There is no table order service so one must get the menu and order at counter. Menu features usual items like Eggs Benedict and little bit odd ones like one I had - French Toast with candy floss instead of maple syrup. It is sweet for sure but it does need some sauce. Most of the food in cabinet are deserts and they look great. Staff is friendly good. Today I forgot a bag with presents and staff had it safely stored for me. Thank you for that.
A. K.Amaaaazing coffee, perfectly cooked food and an atmosphere that says “Stay here forever and it will feel like 5 minutes”. The shelf does everything well and makes it look and feel easy. Out of all the cafes I've been to this is definitely top 3, if not, the best one I've been to.
B. M.Lovely staff. Quick service and a very cute cafe overall. Only complaint I have is that the seats up the back are a bit close to the kitchen and loo, makes the experience. But get a seat at the front of the shop and prepare your face to be stuffed. Would defiantly visit again.
D. R.Glad to have discovered this cute, quaint coffee shop while walking around the city. Would recommend the flat white coffee ☕
H. F.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Shelf. The cafe was cozy, and a nice place to relax and escape the bustling CBD.
I ordered a dairy free deconstructed iced mocha, and it was quite fun putting it together. Some people may complain about the price, or question the need to have a deconstructed drink, however, for a dairy free iced mocha that tasted that good, I was paying the same price as I would at Coffee Culture (which I dont really enjoy). So for the novelty and the taste, I'd say the price was fine!
I was very pleased. Will visit again :)
B. D. V.Very good coffee.
D. Y.Ordered a long black and it was decent !
m. k.I loved the cute breakfast place in Auckland. The ambience and presentation of the food is great. I would definitely come here again
G. S.Lovely coffee, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. The barista was putting so much effort and passion doing different latte art for each cup 👏
L.This place is so nice. Good, well priced food. Great customer service!
I. S.Me and my sis went here for a coffee. We ordered a "Deconstructed Iced Mocha"
I don't really understand why the coffee had that fancy name. Nothing was really reconstructed about it. For $10 I was expecting a little more creativity.
However, the place itself has a cool vibe. Customer service was pretty cool too!
F. T.One of my fav cafe. Love their new Hanoi and Thai salad!!
L. W. (.Great smooth coffee in Auckland. Free wifi and other healthy breakfast options which we didn't get the chance to try as we were on a budget. But they looked amazing coming out and staff were friendly and helpful
O.First meal in Auckland and very happy about it. Coffee was on point. Scrambled eggs with hash browns and chorizo was delicious. Lots of excellent choices. Prices are reasonable. Friendly staff. Will definitely return
M. I.Cute decorations, nice atmosphere, decent coffee -- what else are you looking for in a cafe?
D. H.I really like the atmosphere here, very cosy and good to work in. It feels like you're sitting in your bedroom. I had an iced mocha which comes deconstructed and is kinda fun, as well as the French toast which is great although super sweet. Definitely worth a stop!
H.Good coffee. Fair price. We always go there.
W. M.This place is excellent. Great vibe, wonderful service, yummy food and a few hidden gems along the way! I recommend sitting near the bookshelf and allowing your curiosity to wander.
D. M. H.Green Matcha and golden Tumeric lattes have become quite popular in recent years❣️When I’m needing a little pick-me-up these days and wanting a gentler source of caffeine, I go for Matcha latte - it is super delicious and healthy at the same time❗️
Matcha Green Tea is a superfood - it delivers a mega dose of antioxidants in every sip - it is made from nutrient-rich young tea leaves that are picked from the tips of shade-grown Camellia sinensis plants; de-veined, stems taken off, and then stone-ground into very fine powder☝🏼.
A good matcha latte will have a smooth and milky texture, sweet with a good measure of umami undertone😊...Curious what this sweet-savoury taste is like❓Try it and I recommend Matcha Latte at The Shelf👍.
Fyi - The Shelf charges hot water for refilling the tea pot... 🤨
L.Good coffee, cute place and lovely staff.
M.A great experience, the staff were friendly and we were served extremely fast after ordering even though it was busy. I'd highly recommend giving this place a visit just for the experience of it, not to mention how good the food and drinks were!
A. A.Good experience.
Meal and coffee is tasty and creative. Recommend Mocha, there is one real chocolate bar.
a. a. E.I ordered Hot chocolate and smoked salmon bagel.The taste was nice and looks was beautiful.
L. G.Great cafe! Small space but great atmosphere and interesting food.
R. L.Great customer service, like the shakes a lot with different flavour you can choose. Definitely Will come back to try the cakes.
A.Absolutely delicious. Kimchi pork egg is on A+
G.The cafe has a nice vibe to it. The coffee and desserts were pretty good.
A. L.Loved the French Toast here! Conveniently located along High Street, get your breakfast fix here on your way to the office!
T. B.Fabulous! Very nice staff. Great coffee and tea. Food exactly as i wanted.
A. R.a great place to go for a breakfast or brunch. they have a wide variety of foods and drinks, from shelf food to cooked food.
D. M.Really impressed by this little cafe. The food was beautifully presented, flavorsome and filling. The coffee was great and very well brewed. The staff were very polite and helpful. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint. A touch on high side price wise, but worth it in humble opinion.
y. z.Nice place to gather in city. But the flat white is too milky.
V. G.Nice coffee, attentive stuff, enjoyed the meal as well. But please change those horribly-looking menus haging on the counter for a new ones.
e.Ordered through ubereats. Ordered Iced latte taste like half water half milk :( usually iced latte only contains milk+ espresso shots but my coffee taste nothing like latte, nor americano somewhere between.. pork belly was so much thinner then the picture and other photos i could find on ig
Z.Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff, great coffee :)
A.Great coffee and service, my new coffee shop 😁
J. C.Was my first time back in quite a while and wasn't as impressed. My brunch was a bit dry and just not that flavoursome. Was somewhat disappointed - while I would likely return and give it another go, probably won't rush back. I would however recommend some of their deconstructed hot/iced drinks, they're quite fun and tasty.
J. S.Unbelievable. Gorgeous little cafe and then you get blown away by the amazing food.
A.This cafe definitely looks good and has a retro, vintage thing going on. However, the coffee definitely needs an upgrade. It did not taste nice. Maybe less water, and more milk? And also, given that you pay so much for the breakfast option, it doesn't actually contain much.
R. J.Lovely atmosphere good place for studying.
K. B.The Korean lady who served us was unfriendly. She explained to us 15 % of surcharge for being open on a public holiday with an impolite manner. We ordered Mocha and Hot chocolate which had good presentation. It comes with chocolate spoon and chocolate syrup, so you can adjust the level of sweetness. The Caesar Salad were nice. The pork belly burger was just over price.
L. S.Great food and cute coffee. We're only here for a week and we've already been twice.
B. B.This place books up quick. I came by myself on vacation at 5:15pm and they were already almost full. It's a simple and small place but they love quick and you can see they really appreciate their guests.
For starter I had the oysters with a cilantro spicy mignonette. Divine. Then got the sea bass based on what everyone was saying and it did not disappoint. Crispy in all the right places and succulent in all the others.
I wasn't too into their dessert but had a lovely plum wine to top it off.
E. L.Lovely little spot for brunch, I had French Toast which was tasty but very sweet. Considering how narrow and long it is, the interior is quite nicely done, but does feel a bit cramped in the seats further to the back. Very good location right off Queen Street and good staff. Overall, a very nice experience.
C. D.Unique breakfast and food was a mix of cultures. Lovely coffee too
P. H. (.This cafe looks good, but it's quite crowded and narrow inside, so not very good ambience. I ordered a flat white and a meringue, coffee tastes normal, the meringue smells egg white very strong. They should add vanilla extract to the meringue to keep it smell good.
S. G.Such a great little spot.
Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or a snack they have you covered! Great coffee and amazing hot chocolate (worth dining in for the fancy version of the HC) amazingly friendly staff who actually remember your orders.
N. B.I really enjoyed their coffee but they really need to provide more vegan options. I asked a staff member what vegan options they could provide and she pointed to the vegetarian options on the menu and said that they can all be made vegan... I highly doubt that eggs benedict, fritatta, omelette and French toast can all be made vegan upon request. Aside from a raw brownie in 5he cabinet, there was no vegan option on the menu.
L. W.I always adore this cafe! It has an awesome vibe, the staff are always super friendly and helpful. They will glad recommend the best things and will be very understanding of any changes to the menu you require. There are cute little things that you only notice after the sixth visit, their are little diaries on some of the shelves that some people have written things in. I would highly recommend giving them a read over coffee.
P. A.Coffee was great but the food came out cold (eggs benedict). Such a weird experience, the sauce and poached eggs were cold. The bun seemed a bit stale and luke warm in some spots :( Shame as it looked and sounded great. To their credit, the staff were really friendly.
A. A.I had a coffee with french toast , it was good and the place was nice and quiet
R. G.The food is amazing. All 4 orders were very happily received and went down very well indeed. Some food orders took longer than others but it was worth the wait. Decent prices (I think) though we caused a problem trying to pay on international cards :') they were happy to wait for us to sort our lives out still serving us with a smile. I asked for my waffles without all the sweet treats which must have seemed so empty that they added extra fruit. Would 100% return ^_^
M.I like this place. Cosy, good coffee, pretty good food, and nice presentation, with coffee on little wooden trays with cute spoons.
T. H.Consistent good food and friendly staff. Some of the dishes are a hit and miss, but the fancy drinks, cabinet food, and plenty of menu items have been fantastic. I love the melted hot chocolate and cute little vibe.
g. k.Cute vibes, great coffee and food, with decent prices! The interior is so cute too.
S. B.Excellent breakfast and coffee. We stumbled upon this lovely little cafe on our last visit to Auckland 5 years ago and visited again today. The same great service and food. Highly recommended.
A. M.Delicious. The korean pork belly burger was amazing. I recommend it.
C. C.There are better places in Auckland. Coffee was alright, but a forgotten food order was annoying
T. B.Fantastic coffee! Love how they serve any extra flavors separately in a small cup rather than mixing it with the coffee. Great breakfast bakes too.
Tried their Moca the other day - divine! They serve super hot milk with a stick of Whittakers milk chocolate and still provide a little cup of chocolate syrup on the side! Absolutely amazing!
We also tried a coconut milk chai latte and my wife was very impressed.
E. E. V. R.We came here by accident saw the menu and straight away loved it. Ordered the matcha latte and green omelette OMG everything was delicious and beautiful presentation, I couldn’t get his name but the guy making the coffees was so friendly and had an amazing customer service. Great brunch I had in here will recommend it for sure.
금.Always more than average. Coffe is better than food.
l.Love this place !! recommended by a friend and she was right! Ordered the unagi as appetizer. It's so fresh and the sauce is perfect. I also love their miso sea bass! Its so soft it melts in your mouth. It's a must try (I can finish two of those. ) Pork chop is also very good and it comes with fried taro chips for both dishes.
Con- quite small inside and no valet parking
G. A.The staff is really nice and the food is good! I had to spend the morning working there and they were really kind with me, it was cold outside (it was fall) so they kept the door a bit closed and offered more tea. The mushroom soup is the best 🙆♀️
H.Great place for breakfast is town that won't break the bank and the quality is excellent! The poached eggs aren't soaking and always perfectly done. The waffles are to die for and the coffee is some of the best in the CBD! Very cosy and good music volume for chatting.
F. M.Awesome service! Good coffee
J. A.Nice coffee and love vibe
B. M. H.This is my favorite brunch spot in Auckland. I can't say enough good things about it! The coffee is phenomenal every time, the waffles are incredibly delicious, the hash browns are always on point and the staff are super friendly.
Stop reading this and just get over here!!! ☺
C. F.Sure, the food has instagram-ready presentation which is very impressive to look at. But it's clear they care about having quality food and drink before their presentation as well. Overall would definitely recommend.
S. E.the service was friendly and fast, and so was the food. the atmosphere is quite, it is indeed a nice place to chill, study or either chat with friends. overall a nice, peaceful place.
E. T.Awesome food, one of my favorite brunch spots. Sometimes hard to get a table and no table service. So much fun with deconstructed hot and cold drinks! Work a try even just for the experience. $$$
A.Great coffee and great food. A very cool environment to have a coffee
I.Lovely coffee. Always polite staff.
A.Delicious food and great decor.
S.I enjoyed my breakfast at The Shelf and the vibe is really cool!
Coffee was excellent they have some really good food going on to!
S. J.The shelf is a cute and quirky cafe in a great High Street location filled with trinkets sure to delight the eyes. The cabinet is always stocked with food that is to die for as well as menu that covers some amazing dishes, the chicken fettucine is delicious. The coffee/teas are always served in the most adorable of ways - the hot chocolate is presented on a stunning wooden paddle with a small jug of yummy chocolate that you can then pour into the hot milk according to your taste, also not forgetting the whittakers stick of chocolate 'heaven' the whole experience is a delight.
My only flaw is that the seats fill up pretty fast making it hard to sometimes get a spot, there is seating down the back so the space is deceptive. Definitely worth a visit!
J. -.Epic breakfast, good size and value. Theveggies with it is an excellent idea and very tasty. Coffe was really nice, and jasmin tea brilliant and not over-brewed. Staff were also pleasent and friendly.
T. “. B.Coffee was presented beautifully but unfortunately that's where it ended, it was below average and service was really just so/so. That being said didn't try the food so can't comment on that. The layout and interior design is really trendy.
P. T.Good service. High quality coffee. Chilled out location. One of the better cafes in the central city. Brunch options are good and food was tasty. Recommended.
K. W.Great little cafe on High Street. Cool interior with nice ambience. Ate here for lunch and really enjoyed my quinoa salad. Very tasty and a big serving for $16. I was a little unimpressed with the quality of some of the finer details. For example, the menu was a mess of twinked out dishes and extra pages glued on. The specials page was so faded I couldn't even read it.
E. P.Great coffee! Good menu variety with vegan options and juices. Good for a single person quiet study zone or a place to chat with friends.
R. M. H.The place is good but the coffee needs improvement. Focuses too much on coffee art rather than serving it hot and steamy. The vege pasta is perfectly done.
M. T.Cozy, open atmosphere and more small booths at the back. Good food (try the waffle!) and power plugs if you want to use your laptop. Wifi was good quality.
P. T.Buzzy 80s interior... coffee is good but roast is mild... a double shot capp was still on the weak side for me.
Good spot to take break from the shops. Food looked good, maybe next time :)
C. J.Good coffee - their mochas are pretty special, where they give you a bar of chocolate to melt into your coffee. Food is typical brunch fare, but still pretty good.
N. B.Staff were really nice and the restaurant has beautiful decor and a wonderful atmosphere. Coffee was great and the food looked and tasted delicious
E. v. d. P.Awesome food and good coffee. They ran out of orange juice. They went to the store to get new ones, and gave the juice for free! Awesome service.
M. W.Really good little place. Classic cafe breakfast menu items done well. Great coffee is a plus.
R. G.Went for brunch. Great service. Loved the coffee. The food was excellent, well presented and really good sized portions.
N. H.My absolute favorite spot in all of Auckland! So homey, you will instantly relax. Perfect place for brunch with friends or a delicious coffee with that special someone.
D.A nice place to come for breakfast or lunch. Good food and a nice vibe.
C.Been a local favourite for years. I like their menu food items, such as their pasta! A must is one of their cold drinks like iced coffee or iced chocolate.
G. “. O.All the fundamentals of a good cafe: fine coffee, seating, atmosphere, staff. What deserves 5 stars is the French toast. Best in the CBD!
B. M.Epic coffee and cool spot to chill
J.The coffee is delicious. The flat white is perfect regarding both taste and latte art.
s. y.In terms of breakfast food, you can't go wrong with egg and toast. The freakshake however I'd give it an A-. Presentation is ok and the taste of the Oreo variant was average. A bit too liquidy
S.Nice experience and vibe at The Shelf. Good Americano and blueberry muffin, really quick service. Cute cutlery and presentation. Wish they had some newspapers magazines to read though.
A. Y.Really nice atmosphere. Food is expensive, as expected. Food took a while, but to be fair we were a large group of 7. Service was good.
P.Seems like a popular laptop/study spot. It was quite busy and noisy so I didn't stay very long. The original lemon honey tea was good.
D. S.This place is consistently good, food and coffee always excellent and the service is fantastic.
J. W.Very nice egg Benedict! Service is prompt.
A.Just had super delicious chicken filo with sales and baked cheesecake!! I'll definitely come back! 😍
A.Amazing feed as always ♥️ This place my absolute favourite cafe in Auckland. Great service with super friendly servers and a cute lil hipstery atmosphere that makes you feel like you're sitting inside a fancy treenhouse 😂
B.Nice food, coffee and atmosphere for work or meetings.
S.Best latte in NZ... And probably one of the best in the world :) cozy/hip atmosphere with genuinely friendly service. Our favorite cafe in Auckland!
T.I enjoyed drinks and liked a small but nice little atmosphere
A.Wonderful atmosphere and very friendly staff. What really sets The Shelf apart is just how beautiful the food is!
E. V.Really chic atmosphere and delicious coffee.
P.Great cafe! Really relaxed but professional staff. Highly recommended!
M.What a great cafe?? Excellent customer service And the most important thing there is the atmosphere, soft songs and light make a difference honestly 🤩
S.Had breakfast with a friend, such an amazing ambience. The best looking and tasting Eggs Benedict I have ever had.
E. Z.Eggs Benedict on the spot, crispy bacon, superb coffee, arranged beautifully and all in a fast pace but cozy environment. I would be insane not to come back soon.
K. M.Great service, great coffee and great food. If you haven't tried The Shelf please do you will not be disappointed.
G.Great staff, good coffee =)
R.Nice atmosphere, some of the best coffee in the cbd. Barista knows what he's doing.
T.First time I came here was in 2014 and returned again in 2018. Nice place to grab a coffee on high street and relax after a walk through Albert Park. Wish they had pies though!
L.A very cute spot off of Queen St with lovely interior decor. They serve great coffee, but their menu items can be a bit hit or miss...
M.Good cozy place in the center of the city! They have great coffee but not many vegan/vegetarian food options
D.Great hangout for a spot of coffee or breakfast, interestingly decorated for a cosy atmosphere.
G. J.Fantastic food and great coffee. Has a good variety which provides an awesome point of difference
A.I really like this cafe however service does need to improve. We had to nearly clean our plates ourselves after like 30 min to have finished.
Y.The food is decent but I find it, by principal, that they go out of their way to charge an extra 10% on their already high prices. So value for money, they are not worth it.
R. I.Nice place with good food. Ration price /quality is above average. Perfect for breakfast.
R. R.Super coffee. Very smooth.
М.Great coffee and tasty food. Nice place to have a breakfast or a dinner.
R. S.Food was great. Nice little cafe tucked away which made it feel authentic.

L.The cafe has a nice vibe to it. The coffee and desserts were pretty good.
R.Great food! Both tastes and looks good! The place is extra cosy as well :)
I.High quality cafe. Nice staff. Great tasty pie. Nearby Queen St. Little over price.
S.Nice place for a breakfast, poached eggs were over cooked but other than that all was good.
