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.

Great cafe in Auckland.

Great cafe in Auckland. Good choice of healthy and tasty options on the menu. Service was prompt and friendly. Visited several times while staying in Auckland and excellent every visit- try the carrot cake - delicious!

Good- like a good cafe should be

My visit to MELBA was a good visit.

The only thing that let’s them down is there’s no structure when it comes to payment. The cafe register area is too tight for dine in customers and take away customers.

In saying that I ordered the bagel with fig and cream cheese with a green tea.
Great serving size, plate presented well, and hit the spot.
I received water straight away at my table- something overlooked by many cafes.
Would go back here next time I’m in Auckland!!!

Thank you for your positive feedback.

We agree that it can be quite a tight spot during busy times.

The New York Bagel is an awesome light dish as you mentioned!
