"Every now and then in Auckland, you stumble upon a hidden gem of culinary delights. This is one of them. Premium food, service and ambience at mid-market prices. The prawn linguine was the best I've had. The high-tea would have fit right into the Ritz. The decor, the displayed paintings by local artists, the friendly service make this a truly delectable experience."

"We recently visited Cafe Greenfinger and had a wonderful experience! We tried their high tea, a mocha latte, and a few items from the lunch menu, and everything was absolutely delicious. The high tea was beautifully presented and tasted fresh, while the mocha latte was perfectly balanced and rich. The lunch dishes we tried were flavorful and made with care — you can really tell they focus on quality ingredients. The cafe itself has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to relax and catch up with friends. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Overall, Cafe Greenfinger is a delightful place for a casual lunch, a treat with high tea, or just a great cup of coffee. We’ll definitely be coming back!"

"Our friend took us out to lunch here while visiting Auckland. Lovely cafe that is part of the larger garden center. Very cute. Dog friendly. Order and counter premade options. Our friend ordered a salmon quiche from the counter. My husband and I ordered the salmon eggs Bennie and avacado toast, and all had coffee. Coffee and quiche came out almost immediately but our toast and Bennie order took over half an hour to arrive which was a little awkward for our friend who was trying not to finish eating before we got our order. Although it was slow arriving, our meals were delicious and our time was our own."
