Located on the picturesque Mahuhu Cres Cycleway in the vibrant heart of Auckland Central, Mahuhu Eatery is more than just a cafe; it’s an experience waiting to be uncovered. This cozy spot is a hidden gem for both locals and tourists, subtly nestled away yet bustling with life, often filled with the hum of conversation and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

The atmosphere at Mahuhu Eatery strikes a perfect balance between a laid-back cafe setting and a workspace for busy professionals. It's an ideal place to refuel in the middle of a bustling workday, having garnered praise for its organically friendly service led by Eddie, Jin, and their talented culinary team. The cafe buzzes with energy, especially during weekday mornings when business traffic peaks—but don't let the crowd deter you; the short wait time is a testament to the quality that awaits you.

Mahuhu Eatery’s menu is a delightful blend of satisfying breakfast and lunch options that cater to a variety of tastes. Try the Summer Prawn Salad—an ensemble of succulent Vannamei prawns, creamy avocado, crisp cucumbers, and vibrant edamame, all harmoniously drizzled with a zesty Asian dressing for just NZ$22. An equally enticing option is the Green Curry Chicken, a comforting dish featuring tender chicken and a medley of vegetables in a fragrant curry sauce served with jasmine rice for NZ$24. For brunch enthusiasts, the Mahuhu Mince on Toast combines homemade beef mince pooled atop toasted sourdough, crowned with perfectly poached eggs, delivering hearty satisfaction at NZ$22.

But don't just take our word for it—real customers echo this sentiment. Alison Toia, who stumbled upon Mahuhu while searching for the perfect cup of coffee, remarked on the excellent brews served here and has pledged to make it her local haunt during her stay. G M raves about the fantastic value for lunch, particularly savoring a freshly made chicken bacon salad that not only looked good but tasted divine at just NZ$12. To top it off, Kim헤림 couldn’t resist the fluffy foam of their flat white paired with a sweet date scone, making for a delightful afternoon treat.

If you’re in the Auckland Central area, whether you're on a coffee quest or looking for a flavorsome meal, Mahuhu Eatery is a must-visit. Its charming ambiance, customer-first approach, and delicious menu truly embody the spirit of a community hub, making it the perfect pit stop for appetites of all kinds. Come, sit, enjoy, and be part of the vibrant tapestry that is Mahuhu Eatery.

Staying at old Railway Station and looking for decent coffee and came across Mahuhu. Saw it was busy so thought this is for me. Not disappointed - excellent coffee - will be my local while I am in the area. I nearly walked past it as no sign but on the left hand side used by local business people.

Great value lunch just consumed from Mahuhu. They should get 5 stars except they were already out of their cabinet salads and it wasn’t even 12:45. I guess that’s a sign of success . I waited about 5 minutes for my freshly made chicken bacon salad and it tasted as good as it looks - for $12 this was great value.

Whilst only open Monday to Friday catering mostly to the CBD business traffic this cafe is well worth a visit. The coffee is good the food is excellent and the team (led by Eddie with his wife Jin helping out, Leo the Barista and their fabulous 'Mr Chef') you can't go wrong. They do get very busy some mornings so be prepared for a short wait but it will be worth it and if you choose to sit and enjoy the atmosphere you won't regret it. Enjoy!

Great cafe with the usual breakfast/lunch menu. It was very quite (due to most people working from home) so service was fairly quick. Pretty good location near CBD. Would recommend!

A great place for coffee and to meet and chat with colleagues/friends. The coffee and service is always good. The scones are a bit peppery for my liking, but the muffins are great.
