Okra Espresso Lounge - Auckland

The food and coffee were both really good!! The service from the male waiter which seemed to be a student was really good but the other lady who seemed a bit older was shocking!! She was so rude and told us the kids ice cream was an extra $5 on the pancakes when it was meant to be included and must have forgotten about half of our coffees, but her terrible service was made up from the other male waiter

The Vietnamese noodle salad with tofu was amazing. This dish usually has meat but I substituted the tofu in as I’m vegetarian. This dish was the best vegetarian Vietnamese noodle salad I’ve tasted and the tofu was so beautifully marinated with sweet soy sauce. 100% recommend this dish!!

I very rarely every eat poached eggs. Having this dish (The Royale I believe), I couldn’t have imagined anything better to top it off than poached eggs. I asked for the hollandaise on the side, which was a lot as you can see and it was subtle, unlike most hollandaise sauces which I find to be too much. The combo of the mushrooms, pesto and the pide was on point!! My mum enjoyed the granola, but was too big for her to finish. She would recommend adding a bit more yoghurt to even out the sweetness of the granola.<br/ Their homemade crumpet with the honey comb butter and salted caramel is a nice dish if you’re looking a decent sized dish that still fills you up given you’re not feeling extremely hungry. <br/ <br/ Never disappointed by the coffee here, anything from a mocha to a cappuccino, latte or short black. Very friendly staff too

Visited for brunch ordered the chorizo omelette and kids pancakes, both were beautifully presented and delicious. Generous portions (we couldn’t finish either! and good value. We were served swiftly and food came out quickly. Cafe is a little bit dated but happy with the food and service and will definitely return :

Gorgeous spot for brunch. Amazing coffee, generously sized, I ordered a caramel latte. The food was fantastic, I ordered the big breakfast and everything was cooked really well. Staff were also lovely and approached us as soon as we walked over to the counter. Highly recommend.
