Bumped into this little hole in the wall between meetings. Planned on doing another post but loved this little place so thought I'd strike whilst the iron was hot. It's just a little place on Swanson Street, only got 2 tables inside one of which is an old school desk. Clearly most people will just... Continue Reading →
Citrus Cafe
A lovely little local cafĂ©. Hidden down Meadowbank Road towards the train station is a small row of shops that is fairly nondescript, even if it does house our local fish & chip takeaway. Cozying up at the end of the row is Citrus Cafe. It's a place that I have walked past quite a... Continue Reading →
Auckland Shorts
Some thoughts on trains, alcohol and parenting, well kind of. Trains Been on the train a few times now and you can get an empty chair all the way into Britomart on a train that arrived at 10 to 9 in the morning, amazing! The only time I have seen it full was 5pm heading... Continue Reading →
Sierra Cafe – Henderson
Yes I know it's out west and back of beyond but it's where the visa office is. It was worrying looking like McDonalds was going to be our only option until we spotted the big cafe sign. Turned out to be a good spot as it's next to a liqueur store and allowed me to... Continue Reading →
Columbus Coffee @ Mitre 10 New Lynn
A coffee shop in a do-it-yourself wearhouse isn't my normal kind of destination. It wasn't the quality of the food or it's amazing atmosphere that drew us in. What Mitre 10 have done is build a small indoor playground. Playground The playground is for kids up to 8 and for a small space, it has... Continue Reading →
The Coffee Library

D’Lande Cafe

I'm no biker but they have done out this place very well. There are lots if picture and little sayings on the... Continue Reading →
Cosmic Diner
Spotted this place as we were driving from the airport and wanted to go. There probably is a diner in Singapore but not one that anyone raves about, so haven't been to one in a while. Luckily our second villa is within a dangerous walking distance. Why can't they build footpaths? Anyway been there twice,... Continue Reading →
Cafe Seminyak
As we were driving in from the airport things all of a sudden looked a bit familiar. About 4 years ago we also stayed in Seminyak at a villa with a very distinctive logo. Well Cafe Seminyak is right at their entrance and some where we went for takeaways that time too. We have already... Continue Reading →
Sophie Bakery
Stumbled across this delightful little place in Wisma Atria on Orchard. Was out with one of the kids on Orchard. Having just got off the MRT at morning tea time dived into the first cafe we came across. Sophies' claimed to be a French bakery, but years of local sweat bread meant I wasn't expecting...
