My family and I have travelled from the Eastern Suburbs to celebrate birthdays and get togethers at Fernielea for a number of years. We have always enjoyed the excellent food. However on our last visit on Friday 19 August 2011 our enjoyment was marred by an overcharge of $12 for items listed twice. This was only discovered when I asked for a detailed list, which should have been offered before my credit card was charged. The $12 was refunded, but I am still waiting for an apology.

Dear Louise, I am very sorry to hear you were accidentally over charged, i’m disappointed that my staff were not able to convey their apology at the time. I would like to extend my sincere apology and i will provide some training so the staff know how to deal with…    More »

I have never had a home made hash brown that has tasted so good! The coffee is great and so is the service! I started with the Sunriser sandwich, it was so good I stayed with it for a while and now I have moved on through the menu and haven’t found anything that I dislike. My waistline is growing because I have also been going through your homemade cake selection and the dolly slice is a particular favorite! My sons love the large portion size of the Ten acre classic and the iced coffees and smoothies go down a treat. Greet team at Fernielea, cheers Martin

As a frequent customer to Fernielea, we have been consistently impressed with their beautiful food, breakfast especially. I appreciate there handmade pesto and salsas which i always order on the side of my poached eggs. There is always a friendly greeting from their lovely staff and as over time the cafe has got busier and busier as more people find out about there fabulous little Coastesville hideaway. We have always been informed if there is a wait but the atmosphere in the garden or in the cafe is always so nice that this has never bothered us. This is defiantly the only place we like to take people for breakfast or just a casual lunch where you are more than welcome to bring your other family members, like your dogs and if your lucky you will get a surprise visit from the neighboring parakeet. A special treat for children where they can play in the playground while you take time out to enjoy your breakfast. Well done Fernielea, looking forward to our breakfast this Sunday as always!

We really enjoy the food at Fernielea, there’s a great selection of food to choose from. The coffee goes down a treat as we are big fans of millers coffee.
Service is friendly and efficient and would definately recommend a weekend brunch outside (if it’s warm) or tucked up in the corner with the Sunday paper.
Great for kids as there is a super cute playground outside too.
You may have to reserve yourself a table on Sunday (this is the day we usually go) as we missed out the last time due to poor planning on my part.
Great service, atmosphere and importantly delicious food.

Went there this Sunday (29th). I was really impressed. The staff were really friendly and seemed on top of everything, well managed I suppose! The food was great and I was particularly impressed by the choice of teas, and it was leaf tea not just a tea bag! Definitely value for money and a very good ambiance, I will become a regular.

I visited here 3 months ago and experienced a 2 hour wait for food… and wrote a review. We received an apology and vouchers for a free meal.
Today we returned for our free meal and the difference was astounding – we arrived a little early but it was only a few minutes before we were seated. The service was prompt and our food came within 10 minutes of ordering. The food here is extremely good and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed Fernielea second time around. We have put the cafe on our list of “we’ll come again” venues. It is a really pleasant venue and on a sunny weekend day I highly recommend eating here. We will all be back – thanks Fernielea, you have won us over.

We went there on mothers day. No reservations but they seated us outside right away. Had a beautiful meal on a gorgeous day with our little one having a great time wandering around the fenced yard and playing on the playground. The staff is polite and friendly. I have absolutely no complaints about this place. Great Job.

I took some friends in and booked a table for 10
and it was so nice to be treated politely by their staff
Incredible wood fired pizza, it was the middle of winter but the gas heaters and friendly atmosphere made the experience all the more like a cafe in whistler, I hope this cafe stays secret because I hate having to book weeks ahead to go somewhere

My girlfriends and I meet once a month at this lovely venue. Service with a smile, nothing is too much trouble and the food is delicious. Even though it is out of my way by quite a distance, I don’t mind the trip when I know a welcome awaits. :-)

This is a wonderful country cafe that we locals frequent for the great food and ambiance. Sometimes we walk to the cafe with our dog and other times we ride our horses over for a coffee or a glass of wine. The staff are all friendly and efficient, and you are always made to feel welcome. The dinners are also excellent, and it’s often a surprise to our out-of-town visitors that they can get such quality food and service in a rural area like ours. We are blessed to have such a cafe in our community.

This is one of the best cafes in Auckland. Food is superb, and the play area and toys are excellent for keeping the kiddies entertained whilst the grown ups enjoy a relaxing brekkie. The pot of tea is a triumph in tasty beverage.

Our table of 11 people were there for my partners birthday – Brunch. We were seated on the deck. Beautiful day! My meal was ‘eggs bene with Salmon’ accompanied by a flat white and I took home a ginger slice that was delicio!!

The service was great apart from the end when I think our table should have been cleared before I asked but it was relatively busy, that I can understand as I’ve worked in hospitality.

Great place and will visit again and recommend to others

Well done!!

Honestly the best meal I’ve had for a while. I had the seared Salmon which was cooked to perfection, even the baby spuds were a treat in themselves, not a fault to be found with anything. The staff were friendly, the coffee was excellent. The prices were extremely resonable, infact less than inferior city cafe’s for such generous portions and quality. It was so good we went back again and it was consistently great.
