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.

Melba on Vulcan lane probably is my new favourite in Auckland. With a unique take on cafe food (and a range of it), fused with its smooth coffee, warm staff and the cosy environment. It makes for a great blend for a catch up with a friend or a meeting or even if you just want to zone out and want time for yourself.

For coffee I had the cappuccino and for lunch I had the very yummy Jamaican. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed a lovely breakfast which included homemade granola and free range scrambled eggs complimented by great coffees.
The staff are very friendly and genuinely welcoming which just adds to what was a really lovely experience that leaves you wanting to come back again which we did!

Incredibly friendly happy staff and a cute pedestrian lane help set the mood for this gorgeous cafe. The coffee is superb, the food delicious and beautifully presented. Piping hot muffins that melt in your mouth, breakfast essentials such as eggs benedict (ask for the salmon instead of bacon), everything so fresh and tasty. You will love Melba

Ate here twice - perfect for breakfast or light lunch. Excellent customer service from lovely staff, particularly the lady oriniginally from Cork, Ireland. Scrumptious food - definitely recommended!
