Calliope Road Café
What other Aucklanders are saying about Calliope Road Café.
Customer : Had a great brunch here food was fantastic service great and the coffee superb. Will definitely be back!!!
Customer : Stopped in here for breakfast. The people working there were lovely and the food was great and presented beautifully
Customer : Kind waitresses! I work part-time in hospitality so felt upset seeing how stressed they were.. They were very apologetic as we had waited 1+1/2 hours till the first of our food began arriving. I do not usually feel inclined to leave reviews, let alone a poor one. But the food was average and not worth the wait. The eggs were overcooked, and there was a long hair in one of the orders. Poor management 🙁
(Probably caught them on a bad / busy day. One hour after we ordered we were told that they were down a chef, and as such there would be a longer wait. However this probably should have been mentioned prior to us ordering, as we would have gone elsewhere..)
Eating out is supposed to be enjoyable, and it was not.. Hope that others do not have the same poor experience we did.
Customer : Terrible service and time management by the kitchen staff, no issues with the lovely young waitress.
We arrived at 10am and had ordered by 10.15. An hour after we’d ordered we began asking how long it would be, or if they had even started cooking yet, and we were told it would be another 15-20minutes. The first of our food came out at 11.30 and slowly came out one by one until 12pm. All of the eggs were hard and over cooked, the chips were dry and gross, and there was hair in the mashed potato. Would not recommend and will not be returning.
Customer : Wow stunning flavors in this Cafe, the Beef and Shiraz pie melted in our mouths so tasty, decent crust, no leaks, melt in your mouth meat with distinctive Shiraz, I brought 3 extra to take home for dinner tonight – was assured plenty out the back if I wanted more 🙂 but in the cafe, was served with the optional side salad, fresh n crisp, with lovely dressing with hints of sesame oil. We shared a carrot and apple muffin, no shortcuts in this cafe, they have made everything to be nourishing and tasty, little layer of cream cheese icing, nuts, and a wee bowel of tart natural yoghhurt made a melody of perfect flavor combinations.
We sipped our delicious coffee’s, made by a very experienced barrista to finish. We will be back!!! Thank you for the beautiful energy in your food, it tasted even better than it looks, and it all looks wonderful.
So hard to find food that tastes loved these days!!!
Staff were friendly and attentive to boot. We watched a huge ship leaving the Harbour, with the sun on our backs around our meal,
(Pie photos in my kitchen with my own vegies at dinner later).
Customer : Good amount of spacing between the tables. The dishes were really tasty. We got the bulgogi burger and mushroom dish. The portions were ok but could have been a bit more for anyone with a good appetite.
Customer : Top notch for a Sunday lunch! Genuinely friendly staff and a wide array of tasty treats. Dog friendly as well with a dog treat served with our smoothies
Customer : Have been going here on a casual basis for a few years, good service, food is nice, daily newspapers for diners, nice artwork on the wall. Coffee here is better if you ask for a double shot.
