Salt Café
If you find yourself wandering the bustling streets of Auckland Central, make sure to carve out some time to experience Salt Café, a delightful gem nestled at 1 Fanshawe Street. Renowned for its warm ambiance and consistently high-quality offerings, this café has garnered a loyal following among locals and visitors alike.
The café stands out not only for its exceptional coffee but also for its ever-evolving menu that showcases a variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients. One customer, Yvonne Marvin, raves about their toasted scones with jam and cream, which she describes as a must-try. The daily-changing salad selections, like the succulent kumara and pumpkin orange salad, ensure that there’s always something new to explore. For heartier options, patrons can indulge in delightful choices like the stuffed potato with mince or falafel fritters, which are perfect for a satisfying lunch break.
Salt Café’s inviting atmosphere is augmented by the friendly and professional staff, who create a welcoming environment that feels like a home away from home. One customer, Anit, highlights the cafe’s superb service, noting how the team is not only attentive but exceptionally good at catering events with timely delivery. This level of professionalism paired with delicious food is what truly sets Salt Café apart.
However, while many reviews tilt positively, they also encourage you to visit during the weekdays, as the café is closed on weekends, a detail that may disappoint weekend wanderers. Lynn Liu mentions the busy yet lively vibe of the café, making it an excellent meeting place—but be prepared for the hustle and bustle, especially during peak hours!
For those who relish coffee, Lerato Islam describes Salt Café as home to the best brew in the area, though it's worth noting that consistency in food presentation can vary. Despite this, the positive experiences from most patrons indicate a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that is commendable.
Whether you’re looking for a perfect spot to catch up with friends or seeking a place to relax with a good book and a warm drink, Salt Café checks all the boxes. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to savor what this delightful café has to offer. You may just find your new favorite spot in the heart of Auckland!
