Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were last here in March 2020 before lockdown hysteria. So pleased to be back. Nothing changes. Still top notch salads etc from a short menu which is always promising. Home made muesli and sauces to buy. A Metro top 50 café. 🇬🇧🛩🇳🇿

These people really need to up their game with service both on thephone and in person the chef is one of hte rudest people I have met and I would never use them. I have also had bad experience with the counter staff surly and rude like its ad inconvience being there - would not recommend

Used to be a favourite but after getting cold food and today with a very unhappy person on the till this may be my last visit.
I can see why the place across the road seems to be full

I've recently discovered Catroux and have been there a couple of times in the last couple of months. It has one of the most interesting menus around, particularly for breakfast and the cabinet food is to die for.
On my most recent visit I had the fitness bowl for breakfast and swapped out the salmon for avocado. What an amazingly tasty, filling, visually pleasing and diverse meal. Three key proteins in haloumi, nuts and eggs and a veritable feast of veg. It was absolutely delicious and a challenge to get through.
But I've also tried food out of the cabinet and the salads are utterly delicious. There's so much to try that it is really hard to choose. The halloumi sandwich is yummy.
Catroux is quite small and really popular so you have to go off peak or sometimes be prepared to wait. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it is all appealing - if the weather is warm.
Get there for something special. It regularly features on the best 50 cafes in Auckland.

Came here just for a coffee with a friend and had to try their delicious menu. Not the usual type of location I go for but it's very cute and quiet. Worth a visit!

Yet to visit this cafe but have experienced their catering which was exceptional!
The food was lovely and the staff members working the event were incredible. Very friendly and good at making sure everyone got to try some of the canapés.
Chicken and avocado rice paper rolls were yummy! Unfortunately some pieces of the sage chicken wrapped in pancetta were dry but others were perfect... unfortunate but these things happen.
The mini lamb pies, glazed ham and salads were so tasty!
The Black Forest cake is delicious!! Not usually a big fan of this flavour but Catroux balances it beautifully! Thoroughly enjoyed it :)

My brother suggested we stop here for a quick lunch after my flight arrived late. We all ordered salads and two of us added slices of ham off the bone. Our salads - asparagus, peas and beans and the Morrocan coleslaw were both full of freshness and goodness with delicious flavours. The option of adding ham off the bone was a nice variation. We received a generous which was a particularly nice touch for a pre Christmas lunch. Our coffees were served nice and hot too. This suburban cafe is smartly appointed and light and airy. Our food and drinks arrived quickly and the staff were friendly and helpful. I plan to return next time I visit Auckland.

Catroux is a local favourite for its delicious and healthy selection of salads and other meals. Its cakes are divine, so much so it doesn't pay to spend too much time there over coffee!! Everything is good about its food and beverage offerings, and service is usually good too - although the counter space gets overly busy at times with customers queuing.

My husband and I recently visited Catroux for brunch which is a short drive from our home. The cafe was bustling with customers, many of whom were locals and the cafe staff knew by name. There was a great community vibe and food was delicious. Worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood!

Bugger too many people know about this cafe already!!!
Have tried to eat here many times however it is so popular it can be difficult to get a table.
We were headed for this cafe hoping to get in but not counting on it. Perfect timing meant a group was departing as we arrived.
We had about 8 having drinks and sweets.
The hot chocolate was tasty but not hot enough and I don’t even like it piping hot so for me to say it was bordering on Luke warm is an understatement for most people.
The treats, OMgoodness seriously this was a very difficult decision to choose one! So many I was tempted to have.
Will have to come back to try out some of the other ones :-)
