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.

Saturday morning exploring the city and its many sights... need a little pit stop and a coffee.

"Found" Melba and were happy we did. Really friendly staff, welcoming smiling faces.

Ordered some coffee and a bagel with salmon. Both arrived promptly and both were excellent.

Found this place by chance, and couldn’t fault it. Customer service was excellent, the food was amazing( I tried an eggs Benedict with pork belly and fennel) and Sarah makes one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. Go there!!!

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
