“Very friendly, excellent coffee”
Review of MELBA Vulcan

Restaurant details
Dining options: Breakfast
Description: Melba is one of the few cafes in Auckland that could be called an institution. The original cafe in Vulcan Lane has changed little over the last decade. It's the kind of place both locals and tourists have always felt very comfortable visiting. Renowned for the best coffee, breakfast and brunch in the Auckland CBD. It's now time for you to try MELBA.

The perfect place to stop for a mid morning break. Wonderful coffee and beautiful food. Coffee comes in small, medium or a bowl - any need for caffeine is certainly catered for. Two servers came to check on our food and how we liked the place and we were happy to tell them it was wonderful. Definite recommendation

This small café is fantastic. Service is always friendly and I would happily come back to have their delicious meals and coffee any day. The Breakfast Burger is perhaps the tastiest brunch meal on offer in all of Auckland. Our waitress Anna was amazing! She was friendly, super helpful with the menu and always had a smile. 10/10 for service, food and atmosphere.

We had breakfast at Melba on Good Friday and it turned out to be a GREAT Friday!

We were served by a smashing waitress from Ireland - a really warm, friendly welcome.

We had the hot cakes (pancakes with fruit, macadamia and chocolate) and the breakfast burger (pictured - a Japanese milk bun with manuka honey, hash brown, fried egg, bacon jam, sriracha mayonnaise and pickled onion); both were delicious and washed down with Auckland’s finest flat whites.
