Went here for a brunch with my mum, totally worth it!!!

My mum loves this place and so do I now

I had the bangers and hashcakes. So good!

Will be back!

I was there twice to have a coffee and something sweet, which was all really good. I really loved the atmosphere at the Fridge. It was super comfortable, chilling on a couch with my friend, but it’s good that they also have other sitting options. The savouries also look very yummy but I haven’t tried any of that yet.

I would have gone there more often, but unfortunately they already close at 4:10pm – would be great if they were open longer (like all cafes in Auckland…)

Been here a few times.
Find the coffee to be a bit hit and miss.
The cabinet food is awesome, really fresh and a good selection.
The meals from the kitchen definitely sacrifice quality for quantity so I’d recommend a pie or something from the cabinet.

In my opinion,

Cabinet food 5/5
Cooked Meals 3/5
Coffee2/5

Enjoy the wraps and coffee is usually pretty good.

Yummy pies,best pies ive tasted esp the bacon and egg pies mmmmmmmm.
But i must add,you must get there first thing when it opens to get a better selection.

It seems the Fridge is ALWAYS pumping with business. Never more than ever than a saturday or sunday, as you can imagine.

I hear they have THE best pies, however Im yet to find out myself. But considering I’ve heard it from 3 people already, and theres plenty of reviews on them, it seems certain they are the best at pies for a LONG distance.

The only issue I have with the cafe is the turn around of time on a coffee, exceeding what you would expect certainly, and the fact there is always 5 people behind the counter, definitely intimidating to walk into, and it makes you seem slightly insignificant when you aren’t handed the coffee by the same person you we’re served by. However, the cafe does seem large, and it must be great for the local economy to have 7 people working at the same time.

Overall; The fridge is a guaranteed hit for Karajoz coffee, amazing Pies, and service with a smile.

My favourite local cafe. Indulge yourself with a freshly baked chocolate banana muffin and experience heaven. The coffee is always good and a good variety to choose from. Best Eggs Benedict in town, wonderful choice of salads. Staff are attentive and a good place to hang out on the weekends and during the week for lunch or breakfast with friends.

I like the Fridge. When we had a newborn baby I used to pop up the road all the time to get us tasty supplies!

The coffee is Karajoz and is pretty good. There is an Asian guy there (or was) who is an excellent barista.

The homemade pies are very good too (favourites are the Moroccan lamb and beef and Guinness).

They also have a good selection of salads, wraps and sandwiches if you’re looking for picnic supplies.

In terms of sitting down for a meal, the breakfasts are pretty good. I like the eggs benedict they do on potato hashcakes – very tasty indeed.

They’re a bit short on space so you can feel a bit cramped, but in summer it’s great if you can sit outside (down the stairs and through the kitchen) and have breakfast in the sun.

Best if you get up early to go here though as it fills up very quickly as it’s so popular – and deservedly so!

i needed a pie, one of these shop pies would not surfice, big ben, yuck, irvines, nah, not even the dependable but average mrs macs would satisfy, i wanted a REAL PIE.

so like the modern consumer in a foreign land i am, i turned to the internet, googled best pie in auckland, and hay presto the fridge.

big thanks to the folks who’s recommendation helped me get my satisfaction, and even biger thanks to the proprietors of this excellent establishment, the pie did not disappoint.

Went for the beef and Guinness, good pastry, great flavour, decent amount of good meat, fair price, if you want a REAL PIE go there!

Great food, fast service. Try the eggs bene bacon with hashcakes.

We all love the Fridge here. The food is spectacular. (yes, it is). Salads, wraps, pies, sweet – everything is fresh and delicious. My fav lunch at the mo is a selection of their daily salads… always get the combo of veges & flavours right.

THE BEST PIES IN AUCKLAND… fresh ingredients, fantastic flavours. One pie is big enough for a whole meal and its only $5.00, fantastic value for money. I also like their chicken wraps but their muffins taste very ‘flour’ey, like too much flour has been used..they need more blueberry flavour or whatever else flavour they’re using.

Exceptional pies.
The mushroom and chicken pie is my absolute favourite.

Soooooooo yummy.
Also has an outdoor area for summertime, and a cosy indoor space for winter.

Apart from all the normal little tables dotted around the cafe, they also have a large table which is big enough for lone-lunchers to share without invading each others’ space. And there are always multiple copies of the Herald to read.

Excellent.
The only potential problem here is the limited street parking . . . but it’s so good, it’s worth parking 5 mins away and walking down. Just be psychologically prepared not to get a park outside the door (although I have had that happen once or twice).

I LOVE The Fridge!!! They have the BEST pies, great tasty salads and the chocolate cake is good too (even better than mum’s and hers is famous among all our family & friends!)
