Foxtrot Parlour in Auckland

"We were wandering around the Ponsonby Centre looking at the options, and were attracted by the size of the pies. The price was increased to match of course, but they were delicious. I almost got a pastry to go with it, but on hindsight, may not have finished it. The service was friendly and cheerful and the place was very busy, which is always my benchmark."

"Maybe coffee was average, but I must say they made the best of cinnamon rolls, fluffy and soft. Way better than other"

"Wow! Clearly I need to get out more. We discovered this place from The Urban List Auckland as one of the top 18 best doughnuts in Auckland. What a wonderful Cafe with a great ambience and touched in between other wonderful little shops. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The doughnuts that we came for were fun and messy and delicious. We had the Berry and caramel and vanilla custard flavour doughnuts which you inject yourselves and we also had a berry milkshake it was all wonderful. We loved the little cafe and would definitely go back again for more delightful treats that you could see in the cabinets and those pies look amazing so we will be back. Thank you for a wonderful experience."

"A cozy nice place to go for a coffee and yum donuts. I had a cappuccino and a pastry from the shelf which looked good, they added coconut cream on to it, it was good, the donut was very good with filling which you can pick from or even give you the toll to add it yourself. It's a nice place to enjoy a coffee and a good pastry. We went there on a Sunday morning and it was full of customers, but found a sit quickly. Not much to worry."

"We ordered the Iced Chocolate as beverages and the Crispy Chicken Tacos and Seafood Platter. The Seafood Platter was HUGE, really tasty and the right temperature. The Crispy Chicken Tacos were out of this world AMAZING! The Hot Chocolate was as good as most other places we tried, but the order we placed was really budgeted, I wouldn’t mind paying more just looking at the size of the platter. The staff was really friendly and warm, and the the atmosphere was great at this cozy little spot. Highly recommended!!"

"*Updated 26/10/25: Food quality has improved, but not the prices. $5.80 for a long black is getting a bit cheeky. *Updated 2/11/23: Pretty good. *Updated 17/4/22: Food and coffee are still awesome, however becoming expensive for what you get in comparison to other cafés. The menu can be misleading and didn't have prices for eggs on toast etc. (Photo provided). Great little cafe, music good, staff friendly and efficient. Coffee was very good and cosy atmosphere. Only complaint is the rickety seating and tables."

"Well here is another breakfast review or brunch if you fancy it. We were lost in the city (near Ponsonby) looking for a spot to eat before heading home and we were fortunate enough to stumble upon Foxtrot Parlour. Oh you never heard of it? Neither did we but so glad we did. I mean if you need to feed several picky eaters this could work. From breakfast burritos to pancakes to muesli. There something for everyone, even the kids. All types of baked goods, they had cinnamon rolls on our day (delicious) and coffee. Yes I know what place doesn't have coffee, but it's good coffee! Get there early if you want a seat though they got fairly busy on our day. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, to keep in mind if you fancy sitting in the sun. The staff was pleasant and quick with our food and even got my takeaway coffee ready in a jiff as we were leaving. (Did I mention the great coffee). So to recap: Lost (check); Hungry (check); Want some great food with great atmosphere (check, check and check). Find your way here, you will not be disappointed!!"

"How can I express this hidden jade cafe in Ponsonby. Started my day with great coffee made by lovely staff. Had just made beautiful cinnamon bioche. Will tryout their huge pie next time! Highly recommend to visit."
