Vibe
Occupying a compact corner spot on the outskirts of Herne Bay. Decked out in a playful Alice in Wonderland theme with quirky furniture and a chandelier. That might sound kitsch, but it’s actually not. Grab a spot on the sunny deck for water views.

Service
Is Rabbit Hole Cafe the best service in a café around town? Enthusiastic and friendly at the counter, and with smooth and prompt backup from the on-to-it kitchen staff.

Drinks List
Excellent coffee - all organic and from local roasters Velvet.

Highlights
The eggy glory of the Green Chilli Scramble topped off with shaved pecorino cheese and crisp steamed asparagus ($15). Even better with a side order of a plump gourmet pork sausage ($4.50).

Most Surprising Dish
Duck and orange risotto.

The Bottom Line
The Rabbit Hole Café is one of Auckland’s best new cafes combining great service with a healthy and ethical focus on all things free trade and organic.

A Reason to Return
A lunchtime opportunity to mix and match the café’s salads – Greek, Asian noodle style – with grilled chicken, tuna etc. Auckland’s cutest little cupcakes would make a tasty mid-afternoon snack too.
