Ocean Breeze Eatery in Auckland

"Very friendly staff. Love the atmosphere and so nice it’s dog friendly too. My fur baby allowed to sit inside. Ocean breakfast is yum and good portion. They forgot to give me cheese in my plate and added for me later after I reminded the staff. Usually I won’t even realise what’s going to be in my plate. Finally found a cafe that has Dirty! I miss pistachio dirty so much hopefully they will do that soon. Will come back for sure!"

"We visited as a group of six and everyone was really happy with their orders. It’s great that you can reserve ahead of time so you don’t have to wait around for a table, which makes planning with a group much easier. Another great aspect is that the entire space is dog friendly, which is always a big plus. The prices felt fair, but what stood out the most was how fresh everything tasted. The food felt light and clean, and even after a full meal you didn’t feel heavy at all, which I really appreciated. The coffee was pretty good as well and complemented the meal nicely. The only thing I didn’t enjoy as much was the matcha. The ratio of milk to matcha was a bit too high, so the flavour felt a little diluted and not as pronounced as it could have been."

"The mushroom soup was absolutely divine—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. It's rare to find a place that perfects such a dish, and this cafe nailed it. Situated right by the beach, the cafe offers stunning ocean views that enhance the dining experience like a cafe name. Enjoying a delicious brunch while gazing at the serene sea is an indescribable joy."

"I had the steak sandwich, and everything was simply perfect. The steak was cooked to perfection, and every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh. The flavors were well-balanced and absolutely satisfying. And the mocha? It was so delicious — rich, smooth, and the perfect complement to the meal. This is truly a hidden gem in Browns Bay that everyone should visit. Highly recommended!"

"Loved our Breakfast this morning. Definitely recommend. Food was fresh and as you can tell astesticaly pleasing. Will be back."

"Pleasantly surprised how good the food was. Probably the best brunch we had for a very long time. I must admit we’re very picky and I’m a better home cook than most restaurants around here. I was very happy to found this place. It’s my pleasure to recommend this place. Most of all, dog friendly cafe with good food and atmosphere."

"Perfect wee cafe in a lovely location. The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, encouraging us to take a seat and peruse the menu. They informed us of several daily specials too. I opted for the Chilli Scramble with a couple of pork and fennel sausages. My son had the salmon eggs bene and his partner a half portion of the same. Coffees were great and food delicious. A very clean and tidy eatery. Would definitely come back if visiting the area again."

"The steak sandwich was amazing and the seafood chowder was pretty good! Definitely I will come back for a coffee and a sandwich."
