Flour Mill Cafe
What other Aucklanders are saying about Flour Mill Cafe.
Customer : I’m a regular customer. I was buying a normal tea. Grumpy dark haired waitress refused to stamp my drinks card. She said it was a ‘coffee card only’ and she didn’t make up the rules. She has been working there for years. There is a sign on the counter saying ‘hot drinks card only’. How many drinks have i been buying and i haven’t noticed before? So people – that free drink’s card is a ruse. If you are having a bad day Miss, don’t take it out on the customers.
SO you haven’t listened to a word I have said. Valentina obviously had an off day, and she got in with the phone call to you first because she knew I had taken a photo of the card. My friend I brought in has cancer. My husband is terminally ill at home. We came in to have a nice lunch and some respite. I have a photo of the card saying HOT DRINKS ONLY. But as I won’t be in there again it doesn’t matter.
Customer : When I sampled the cheese scone something in my soul moved. I have been thinking about the food just eaten for the past 2 hours like falling in love for the first time. I appreciate you so to speak.
Customer : Staff is friendly and Coffee is great. I think the soup is a bit salty personally .
Customer : We were warmly greeted on arrival. A delicious range of food items to choose: from home made snack options to a filling brunch menu. A great little food oasis.
Customer : A wonderful little spot with great coffee and food as well as some extra treats. 10/10
Customer : Gorgeous little cafe, with great coffee and a lovely atmosphere. You can really tell how much love the owner has put into this place.
Cabinet food looks delish – there is a good selection too. Plus, it’s super convenient to park at as well, for a quick grab and go on the way to work. Love it!
Customer : An unassuming little cafe tucked away down a side road with a wide selection of cabinet food.
Coffee and food were all good although service was a bit slow for the size of the place.
There is plenty of outdoor seating which will be great in summer.
Customer : It’s cute, it’s fabulous, and it’s “Gram Worthy”. Plus, it was one of Metro’s Top 50 cafes in 2019.
The wall outside is super fun – a light pink with green trees in front.
It’s tucked around the corner on Queen Mary Avenue (off Manukau Road). I loved the old flour wagon in the courtyard. The decor is very stylish, with accents of pink and white. The menu can be found on the back wall and Kokako coffee is available in excellent supply. The cabinet is also abundantly stocked.
I’m totally in love with the light boxes on the ceiling and I get a very country chic vibe from this lovely little establishment.
Now, onto the food.
My mother had eggs on toast ($12) with a side of Hashbrown ($5) and creamy tarragon mushrooms ($6). I also had eggs on toast with hashbrown but instead of mushrooms I added cured salmon ($6) which was so bright and dare I say, pretty. My best friend had the Zucchini & Feta fritters w/ sriracha labneh, lemon, pickled beats and a poached egg ($21). The coffee was really smooth and we could tell it was made with love.
The staff here are really friendly and were even so kind as to take a photo of our group.
We came here as an early Mother’s Day treat but I’ll definitely be returning, and often.
Server Shoutouts go to Jade and Valentina. Thanks for being so gracious and entertaining.
