The Fringe CafÉ - Otahuhu

We get coffee everyday from The Fringe as so love the coffee and friendly owners who really appreciate their customers. They give a free muffin with every hot drink. Plus, the best scones in Auckland are here. I especially love my Date scone, warm with butter. The fireplace is at the back, so perfect for cold winter days looking out over the trees and Manukau Harbour.

Really good food and super friendly service from the owner and manager Woody. They make really good flat whites and I also love the Linzer tort. Even the bacon and eggs on toast is a cut above the standard cafe, with a side of mushroom and salad. I go here regularly and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

I often come here and enjoy large flat white with dates scone. The view is so nice too. A mum takes her cute daughter to this cafe every Monday for breakfast and Friday for lunch. So, I changed the title from 'Fringe Cafe ' to ' Mum and daughter 's Cafe ', I love you both :

Very nice staff and good coffee. Great place to just sit and chat with a coffee and a snack. Severe lack of vegan options.

Really nice inexpensive food, friendly staff and relaxed environs. Certainly not a trendy cafe, more of a laid back local. Beer and wine available! Stupid me left my wallet behind the other day and they returned it to me undisturbed with cash still in it so they are honest as well. The cabinet is full of yummy options. The Steak pie has a crispy crust and pastie style veggies plus a big hunk of roast steak inside yum.
