I actually love Catroux. Since it opened a last year I have been at least once a weekend. I have introduced all of my friends/visiting family to it and it is universally loved all around. The food is beautiful and fresh, the coffee is great, the atmosphere is relaxed and I have always found the staff to be incredibly friendly (many people are greeted by name), fast and efficient. Living in a city such as Auckland where there are more eateries than people, Catroux shines. It is a must to visit. DO IT.

I really like the food here have been quite a few times as I regularly go to the butcher next door however the service is the pits! There is a blond young female who runs the place who is just rude and acts like she is doing us a favour by serving us. It’s a shame as the food is delicious. Coffee just ok.

I’m dying to try Catroux. I went at Waitangi weekend but it was sooo full we couldn’t get a seat. Bad timing, disappointed, but I’ll be back! The array of beautiful homemade cakes and pastries was mouth watering – particularly the huge raspberry Lammingtons, yum! There are a few tables outside and a little sandpit out the back so were lots of Mums and kids there. the white fit out is really styley and I love the neon sign out front. I’m looking forward to being able to eat here!

Fabulous brunch spot, something for everyone – Plum Tart, Westmere Sausage, Scrambled Eggs and Scones were all raved about at our table. The coffee was the best I’ve had in months. The atmosphere was relaxed, I see a “Friends” type cafe in the making!

Great new café. Love the freshness of the white on white interior. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Fantastic range of food – all the salads I tried were delicious. Delicious cakes and sweet things as well. Definitely a new favourite.

Great new Cafe in Westmere in the old Alelie site (next to the butcher) !! Awesome food and People’s coffee makes a nice change. Everything is a little bit different here which is quite refreshing. Only been open a couple of weeks but the number of people going through tells me its got legs. Try the Westmere sausage on brioche with mushroom jus for breakfast. Awesome
