Great food and atmosphere, I am addicted to the orange cardamon syrup on French toast with bacon - gives maple syrup a run for its money!

There ain't no school like the old skool and Ruby Red Cafe harks back to Auckland of old when the pace was a little slower and creations were baked just right. Believe me, a visit to this delightful local cafe in the heart of Mangere Bridge is a trip every Aucklander should make at least once because your tastebuds will be rewarded whole-heartedly. I visit with a mate who is a local and was blown away. The coffee was some of the best I've ever had in Auckland. What a hidden gem!

Lovely ambiance, excellent coffee :)

#cafetab Yes Please! :)

A sweet addition to Mangere Bridge Village, Ruby Red is a great brunch spot with something to please everyone, including the little ones, which makes it perfect for dads with young kids. Its interior is a cute throwback to old-school NZ with wooden seats and sixties style crockery among its vintage inspired features. The food is fresh, good quality and reasonably priced with mince on toast a favourite chased with stellar coffee. A slice or cake from the cabinet is a must too.

This busy little Café is the spot south of the city for a quick cuppa on the go or a proper sit down catch up and soak up the ambience of the legendary Mangere Bridge (or simply 'The Bridge' as the locals call it) Look out for their organic sodas and displayed books from local authors (including a cookbook from the owner/chef herself). Owners Felix and Amanda are usually well in the thick of it with Felix right up front on the coffee machine . #darkhorse

Best cafe lunch I've had in ages - lovely chicken salad with all the nice touches - not like so many places where you end up thinking you could have made it better at home.  Lovely presentation and good service.  Highly recommended.

So tasty x
