ampersand eatery
What other Aucklanders are saying about ampersand eatery.
Customer : Great coffee. Good, sizeable brunch options. I loved the breakfast burrito. And the sausage in the big breakfast. Apparently they make the sausage mix themselves – no wonder it’s so good. The cafe is quite busy, which is always a good sign. But it does mean that you can be forgotten.
Customer : A spacious eatery with a concise menu so you don’t have to spend ages thinking about what you want to get! Pictured is the French Toast which was a delight to eat honestly. Not too sweet, but also not too heavy either. The toast itself was soft, and the caramelising on the bananas was perfect! (Reminds me of the top of a creme brulee).
Customer : Nice indoor and outside flow, very spacious and lush. Good coffee.
Customer : Very nice cafe with good food. I ordered their big breakfast with everything in it. Simple yet perfect. Also it’s dog friendly so bring yours.
Customer : Ampersand Eatery offers a hip and unique dining experience. The service and atmosphere are excellent, and the food items, albeit quite acidic, are delicious and filling.
However, the price is daunting, especially for the drinks and their amounts. The fries, which are obviously store-bought, and “market price” items are questionable, as it is virtually impossible for such items to cost even half as much as Ampersand charges.
Nonetheless, the friendly staff and unique amalgamations of powerful flavors make one feel okay about the emptied wallet.
Customer : The food are OK, nothing outstanding. Good service, helpful staff.
Customer : Very nice eatery. Cafe all day breakfast dishes range from standard expected to unique interesting. Take terrace seats to great view of the bay.
Customer : Dined here on a Saturday evening. Made a reservation (was not busy though) and they had a table for us outside. Great views of the bay. Lovely set up and atmosphere. Dined with 2 kids aged 3 and 7. 3 year old really enjoyed watching the train stopping at the station across the way (not noisy though) . The kids had fish and chips (pretty average considering the price) .
We ordered the pork croquettes, steak Dianne, oysters both natural and battered, lamb shank and for dessert an ice cream sandwich.
Steak Dianne and the natural oysters were really delicious. The rest of the food was good and tasty but not memorable. Portions are good. Ice cream sandwich was a big portion.
Flat white was delicious.
The have high chairs available and a kids menu.
No change table in the restroom. (I try and check out each place I review if they have one because I know if you have a little one how limited we are in terms of the places we go because of it)
