Lovely service.Had pancakes which were yum but needed to be cooked a little longer but were still good.
The hot drinks are a stand out the dude who does them sunday’s are the best in Auckland i reakon.

Have been in this cafe twice now and we have enjoyed our experience both times. Meals are very good portions therefore the prices are reasonable. The big breakfast is very satisfying and the coffee is consistently good! Definitely recommended !

I’m not familiar with the cafes in Grey Lynn as I don’t spend a lot of time in the area, but needed to find somewhere to get lunch while working there recently. Stumbled upon Urban Jungle and went in solely because the weather was terrible, and it looked so warm and inviting. Menu looks great, maybe a tad pricey but their pre-made food seems more affordable with plenty of vegetarian options. Friendly staff, delicious roast vegetable and feta panini (served with really good tomato chutney) with not too long to wait. The set up outside on the deck was great, it was blowing a gale and pouring with rain but you’d never know you were outside. Best part though was the Urban Jungle cat who seems to live there, (well in the outside part anyway) who came to say hello when I was finished eating. More cafes need resident cats!

Hey, just saw Urban Jungle on Close up, cool, although the story was about something else! Anyway prompted me to write this review. I have enjoyed coming to Urban for years now and just love the food there. I believe it’s the same chef for the last 10 years! Nice proportions good value for money, I just manage to eat all on my plate, so filling, of course the big urban breakfast is my fav. Big feeds alright

Been to Urban Jungle many times in recent years, but this was my last visit.
The prices have bumped up considerably, especially when you consider we were overcharged by $1.50 on top of the actual price (if that was a surcharge for using the Visa, then they should have said, and their prices would suggest they could handle the visa cost).
The chicken liver and mushrooms tasted as good as it always has done, but it didn’t seem to be quite as generous, and for $22.50 it didn’t really seem like value for money.
The Greek Vege stack wasn’t much of a stack, either.
The coffee was very good, but it really should be.
Was pretty disappointed the wifi I spotted on the way in was not actually available, which also seemed a bit rough.
Service was okay, not mind bogglingly fast, but not outrageously slow.
Sorry guys, we won’t be back there for a fair while, we can get way better value elsewhere, and nicer food to boot.

Went in for lunch. Ordered a chicken wrap which was delivered grilled, felt like they had put a kilogram of cheese in it. Also had some chips and chicken nuggets which they forgot about and had to ask twice about my order. When it finally arrived, the nuggets were frozen inside. I returned this to the counter and the guy, appeared to be the manager, just stared at me. No apology or refund. Service was very slow. Only 3 tables at 1pm which led me to believe this place is struggling. Never go back.

Huge great portions but this place has slipped over the last few months. I used to go for breakfast often but now the food is too oily, and also very slow. When you’re having breakfast during the week before work, it is frustrating to wait so long for the order then have to eat it so fast to get to work in time. I hope they sort out the issues with the food, this place used to be great.

45 Minute wait for breakfast and food was still not ready. When asked how long until it would be served was rudely told it was coming. Asked for a refund to which I was handed the cash I had paid and grunted at. No apology. Service very poor, food over priced. Would not return

I really love the staff at Urban, they are very friendly when you walk into the cafe you are greeted with a warm smile. The food is always great and the coffee excellent.
