Town Tonic Auckland

"Had to wait for my car to be serviced so dropped in for an early breakfast. Wonderful friendly welcome and superb coffee. The big breakfast was fantastic. Perfect eggs. Loved the hash sticks and the bacon is seriously the best. Thick sliced and how it’s supposed to be. 5 stars."

"Visited Town Tonic on a casual Friday for an early lunch. All staff were very friendly even the chef in the kitchen seems to be smiling at patrons. Interior and atmosphere were very pleasant, much warmer and cozier than what it looks like from outside. I think all the glasses and the building exterior gives a bit of darker feel when you see them while on the road but when you step inside, it's very bright and welcoming. Food was great, I had open steak sandwich which was on par with any other nice cafes. My wife had the fush curry which had great spices and nice firm texture on the fish. Deserts were both good and they weren't overly sweet which we both enjoyed. I would've enjoyed a bit softer texture on my brulee but was still good. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Note, if you are using the carpark, please validate your parking by using the ipad at the entrace to avoid parking fees!"

"Really good seating, good service, just cocktails need some improvement. Loved the food and for an all day cafe.. was pretty good. Dessert was pretty good too.. thanks guys and sorry bit late with the review"

"We recently had the pleasure of having lunch at TownTonic in Auckland, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. The menu offered a variety of delectable options, ensuring there was something to satisfy every palate. We started our meal with the egg Benedict featuring cured salmon, a combination that proved to be a delightful flavor pairing. The oat fried chicken had a satisfying crunch, although it was slightly dry for our liking. The grilled halloumi and mushrooms added a savory element to the meal, while the sausages and beef burger satisfied our cravings for a heartier option. The curly fries were a tasty and addictive accompaniment. The French toast was a sweet treat, perfectly indulgent and satisfying. For dessert, we were treated to the Divine Caramel and Black Forest Crumble. Both desserts were heavenly, showcasing the chef's mastery of flavors and textures. They provided a fitting conclusion to our meal. When it came to beverages, the Affogato, Caramel Latte, Pineapple Juice, and iced latte all exceeded our expectations. Each drink was expertly prepared, with the Affogato serving as a particularly delightful combination of coffee and gelato. TownTonic's environment adds to its charm, as it is nestled in an industrial area with its own courtyard. This unique setting creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely lunch. The service we received was attentive and friendly, enhancing our overall dining experience. The staff was accommodating and knowledgeable, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. While the fried chicken was slightly dry, everything else we tried at TownTonic was superb. The overall quality of the food, combined with the pleasant environment and excellent service, makes this restaurant a great choice for a memorable lunch in Auckland. I would certainly recommend TownTonic to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience."

"Nice place. The drinks however were awesome, I truly enjoyed the drinks. But unfortunately, the food wasn’t great. I ordered beef ribeye. My plate wasn’t really good. It was way too well done and dry. Update: as someone from the restaurant called my friend who reserved a table for us and said my review was unfair,so here is more information. Hopefully it helps the restaurant to improve their service and the readers to decide. We reserved a table for 6 adults and 4 kids. The kids were happy as they could play with each other and have fun. There was a light music playing in the background which I personally liked. Not too loud, not too low, just enough for everyone to enjoy the night. We ordered (for my family) chicken nuggets (for the kid), a bread platter, 3 drinks, mushroom ravioli and beef ribeyes. As stated before, my plate was way too cooked, so it was hard to chew, no greens in the plate whatsoever, not enough sauce to help chewing the hard meat. I forgot to tell the waiter how I wanted my meat cooked and he didn’t ask me either. The other friends’ portions were extremely small for the quality and price. The ravioli, was just OK. Again, the portion was way too small. The break platter, everyone around the table agreed that the bread isn’t freshly made in the restaurant. Just to make it clear, everyone was still hungry when we left the restaurant, to the point that our friends came to our place and we ate the second dinner! I paid $192 only for the two of and our kid, so the expectation is high. All and all, our experience was just average, so 3 stars."
