Love this cafe for its incredible organic coffee and even better vibes. Owners Verity and Lisa are true icons of their community and host so many excellent evenings, including shows in the Tiny Theatre adjacent to the cafe. Flying the rainbow flag with pride, there’s always a whole lot of entertainment happening during the month of February so get amongst and enjoy!
A community hub with some of the best homemade pies in Auckland, Garnet Station Cafe's chef is on fire right now with the tasty pastry delights he's serving up. On one of the coldest Auckland June mornings, I was lucky enough to sit by the fire and indulge in a mince and cheese pie for breakfast. It was classically good and just the way us Kiwis like it with a little bit of tomato in the filling for a tasty twist. Verity and Lisa have also launched an incredibly delicious breakfast menu that sees Westmere locals flocking in each morning to get their fill. Most delightful dish on the brekky menu - the aptly named Cowgirl Beans. That's giant white Greek beans, a fried egg, chorizo from awesome deli Salash and toast. A great way to start a weekend!
