CAFE BLUE WHALE,

667 Whangaparaoa Road, Stanmore Bay, Auckland 0932

"Amazing cafe which serves a 'small breakfast' a scaled down big breakfast, perfect coffee and a play area for the kids. Cannot recommend highly enough. Yum!"

"A lovely local cafe in Stanmore Bay. Great coffee and fantastic service. The most recommendable cafe I've visited recently."

"Welcoming environment, easy access on Whangaparaoa Road, a great coffee shop always has the perfect atmosphere and ambience. The drinks and food were delicious and I really enjoyed it. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. There are plenty of parking lots available for both take away and eat-in customer. Every time you drink, you can get a stamp on your mileage card and get a free drink on the eighth. I had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this café to others."

"They do a delicious oat mocha! The cabinet food looked great but we were only looking for a coffee. The little whale designs on everything is so cute."

"Genuinely impressed by the breakfast we received at this cafe on the side of a busy main road. It’s not often I leave a review at a cafe because eggs Benedict and a coffee is hard to get wrong. It’s also hard to get really right. This is an example of getting it right down to the matching drinks, perfectly cooked eggs, unobtrusive hollandaise sauce lending delicate flavour which is a great change from the rich, thick sauces on offer from most cafes. Coffee done well, not burnt, attentive staff who clearly paid attention to us to make sure we enjoyed our food. The potatoes were actually cooked very well, which to be honest was the biggest joy. What’s normally an afterthought in dishes ended up being a talking point. Prices are reasonable, and some dishes offer a “single” and a “double” portion to cater to all appetites. We will be coming back to make sure this wasn’t just a fluke, because if it’s not, this will be a regular affair. Thanks folks. Food: 10/10. Location/parking: 6/10 (loud street, but accessible). Coffee: 9/10. Staff: 10/10."
