RAD Cafe

Quite simply the best mushrooms in town. I had been craving these bad boys while overseas for 2 years and they are just as good as I remember! You won't be disappointed.

Their coffee is quite nice, i had a chicken burger and my friend had a deep fried prawn and calamari salad, the salad was nice and the dressing has a bit of heat, the prawn and calamari were very fresh, not oily, the burger was bit average, the fried chicken was dry, but the burger bun was nice and soft, also it's pink colour. Bathroom needs a clean, not very tidy. Not many wow options there for the lunch menu, n it's bit expensive

I came here for the first time sometime earlier this year, and instantly fell in love with Rina-san's coffee. Rina, the Barista, makes some amazing refreshing coffee, and served with a warmth and smile, which you can feel in the aroma of her coffee. I now see myself visiting here more often, just to sip Rina-san's coffee. This review was written on a stopover at RAD cafe, enroute to Mt Roskill.

Love Rad cafe it's one of my local cafes, they always have top service and great food. I mean these dudes have been around for awhile they ain't rookies they know you want the yum food and the strong coffee. Also last time I was there my baby tipped my drink all over me, and they gave me a new drink free of charge I wasn't even expecting it! Amazing

Friendly service. Good variety in the menu. Our orders arrived quickly and were yum. Popular place for all ages. Easy parking on side street.

Love Rad! Best breakfast/brunch in Auckland and great coffee too. The service is always on point as well. Will definitely come back here whenever I can.

So totally disappointing. Coffee watery. Scrambled eggs hard and dry. Was so great when opened. Am wondering if ownership has changed

Very busy, but we got a table without much wait. Friendly staff, prompt service, no problem to order off breakfast menu when it was technically 15 past cutoff time, very good coffee.

Great for breakfast options if you're sick of the standard fare and want something a little different. Coffee was well made but a little too cold. Service was excellent and friendly

Definitely one of the best coffee shops in Auckland. Service from the Barrister and team is always top notch. Food is really good. Price is on par with other cafes and atmosphere is pretty Rad. 5 stars for me

Had a delicious cappuccino and almond croissant. Cool coffee shop vibes in the main strip of the Mt Eden shops.

Barista was extremely rude and unpleasant to deal with when we came in yesterday. Not good vibes at all. Definitely won't be coming back here ever again

I have given some cafe 5 stars for coffee so this 5 star for RAD doesn't do it justice.
The coffee is unlike any other, it is EXCEPTIONAL.
I should downgrade other great coffee to 3 star out give RAD 10 stars if I could

Superb food. Friendly and highly courteous staff. Good atmosphere. Serving sizes are adequate with normal pricing for a cafe. Nothing negative to say.

Great coffee and the orange pancakes are delicious and beautifully presented. I can see why RAD has quickly become one of the most popular cafes in Mt Eden Village.

Very friendly staff, super quick takeaway flat white that was excellent to drink.

Busy with a young crowd on a Sunday mid morning.

My friend & I shared the mushroom dish and the super duper kahawai & green peas dish sui that we could try them. Both were great healthy options along with our capuccino & tea. Loved the food, but did not like how noisy the place is. There is no greenery or acoustic panels to diminish the sounds of the wood & brick space.

Not great service, we weren't greeted by any of the staff and we watched as someone who entered after us was greeted and given a menu before us. The staff member we interacted with also just seemed the opposite of friendly. Food and coffee were pretty good but the service really let us down.

Been here many times, really enjoyed the food and coffee. However, they recently change their coffee beans, so it tastes too sour to me. Might come back later if they could change it back to the normal one.
