Excellent service, great ambience, refreshing menu for a cafe. And tasty food. We came here for lunch and there are heaps of options. Plus the place is child friendly. What more could you ask.
Came here really looking forward to a delicious meal on a beauts day but unfortunately found the food to be very bland. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and honestly you could make it better yourself at home. A real disappointment.
Barrys Point Road. Yes seriously, this is the one that came to the Metro Top 50 Cafe 2016.Out of expectations.Better come on a sunny day for a refresh inside. A bit industrial, retro and we say mix matching decor. Greenery brings out the white painting brick wall. Something catching your vision.Substantial cabinet selection, as I have chose the spinach feta cheese scone and the almond croissant with Latte. Scone came unheated, dry Inside, so the pairing butter was pale. The same situation came to the croissant-perhaps it has been left in the cabinet for too long, the pastry was actually hard to cut and inside was not moist enough to stand out the croissant flavour. Latte was in the right temperature however milk forth didn’t stand firmly. This was definitely out of my expectations for a proper Cafe??!Then the soft shell crab burgersort of, saved some credit. Nicely cooked crab with crispy texture matching the sunny egg and burger bread. Cute portion displayed in a typical Japan-inspired rustic plate. Well presented.Reading the menu, you could feel it offers mostly Korean&Japan fusion dishes. Ramen, Bento, dumpling soup, sushi etc. Smart for this mixed culture area, so feel daring to try these rather than the average cabinet ones.Good luck for the Asian flavour in a western Cafe, which is, most fascinating in many Cafes&restaurants in New Zealand.
Excellent service and good food. Priced alright. Beautiful and relaxing decor. Wifi available. Accepts MasterCard and visa. A great blend of cafe and Korean/Japanese fusion.
Not satisfied food, coffee. Burger soft shell crab is just nice in the photo. Sushi I don’t know how many days before they made them. It’s not fresh. Coffee is so normal. Service is ok
Great Food! Look at these Sushis 🙂 Don’t know what milk they use in Ice Latte but its awesome. Almond Crossaint and Chicken and Taraggon Pie are great as well.
I’ve been meaning to try Blind Basket for a while, so when I spotted a rare parking spot out front I popped on for a quick mid week lunch.It’s a big space with a nice fit out, and was relatively quiet. The menu is east meets west, with quite a few options I could have picked. In the end I ran with the dumpling soup, which had a tasty broth. There are definitely better (and cheaper) dumplings on offer elsewhere in Auckland so next time I would probably run with one of the other dishes.Overall, I think Blind Basket is a good addition to Barry’s Point Road. 3.5/5
