Beautiful presentation. Love the aesthetics in the shop. Beautiful wall ornaments and paintings. Friendly service. Great food. Ordered the Eggs benedict with bacon and brioche french toast. One of the standout businesses in Otahuhu for me. Highly recommend to all. Support local businesses Update 07/07/21 Dined in today. Eggs Benedict and some fries on the side. Food was delicious, well presented and as always great customer service. Was reassuring to see staff frequently cleaning table tops not only from a cleanliness pov but in response to the impact of COVID-19

Lime Espresso Bar in Otahuhu offers Althea espresso and heir coffee is excellent! The girls at the cafe are so friendly and inviting and it’s the food is fantastic! My favourite dishes are the chicken salad and the Kikorangi mushrooms. The food is so reasonably priced and the quality is excellent! I’m also a fan of their eggs benedict too, simply yum! Highly recommended!

I was recommended this cafe from a friend & today was my first time. I ordered for 2 of us the following: Big breakfast, Eggs Bene, 2x Large Hot chocs, bowl of fries (forgot a pic) & a side of chopped fruits = $65 ($32.50 per person). The drinks were first, food took 10mins, all were served hot/fresh & were really good portion sizes esp for the big breakfast. Loved the ambiance & customer service - the man behind the counter accommodated our needs by making sure he provided our different condiments or answering questions when we needed. The only recommendation I have is for the fruit bowls to be a bit bigger. The unique small chopped sized fruits are really tasty & refreshing, maybe a bigger portion for $8 would be even better. 10/10 strongly recommend.

It's a cosy nook at the top of the road, a tidy little place with a nice open friendly vibe where you can get a great coffee and some pretty damn good food at a reasonable price. First time here, I beat the traffic leaving home early and stopped for a coffee before heading to work in Mt Wellington. What a fantastic idea! Had my leisurely breakfast of eggs bene which is amazing, generous servings and LOADS of the lovely hollandaise, which is always good! nice bacony bacon, spinach a perfect poachie on a split english muffin (not buttered, don't know if that's normal?) great anyway, the sauce made up for the missing butter. The service is warm and friendly like the venue, the food I had was very good and leaving for work early could become a regular thing! JUST AN IDEA - spend a wee bit more, get a buttered bap and make yourself an eggs bene bap for lunch! Happy Days!
