Espresso Workshop Britomart

This guy has been around for a few years now, and has moved from owens road in epsom to the central city. Consistently good coffee, consistently well presented and served. Their Mr Black blend serves a rich satisfying cup, with just the right degree of oilyness. Overall a most satisfying experience.

I was very relieved to find this place in central Auckland - we had business on Customs Street at 8.30am and I was dreading finding a decent coffee before this - how Auckland is changing! The new Britomart area is quite swish and this cafe is located in a wing of new shops - it could've been plasticy and chain-store like but no, it was a proper corner espresso bar. I've been out of NZ for 6 months so was very impressed to get a decent flat white from here. And some good thick white bread toast, but the didn't have peanut butter! There are half a dozen tables but mostly people waiting for coffee to go. Also I like the great opening hours - nice and early to serve commuters which is very smart. However I think they'd do well to open early on Saturdays too - we definitely needed them before getting on the Overlander train that leaves at 7.25am so I had to suffer through a sip of tepid chain-store milk with a bit of coffee flavour instead!
