RAD Cafe

Very disappointing. Our meals came at different times, the big breakfast was VERY average (we could have cooked something with more flavour at home), the pork belly burger was ok, but the chips didn't even have salt. The coffee was luke-warm, and the toilets were filthy with no toilet paper.
I've never written a poor review for a cafe before - but we will never go back to RAD.

Coffee and service were terrible. Very disappointing. Coffee price is quite expensive compare to other cafes, but not fulled in a cup and temperature was so low. There was a lady in glasses who looks like a maneger. She made me uncomfortable to stay there and not greeting at all. I won't go back to here.

We ordered 2x Pho (Vietnamese soup) which was on a special menu today.
Unlike Vietnam they make the kiwi mistake of sugaring it up.
I wouldn't take the chance now of returning to try the rest of the menu.
Shame because it's well presented.

Nice flavour coffee. Shame the barista couldn’t be bothered and just slopped the milk into a take away cup before taking immense care to then do a load of latte art for the girl he fancied who came after me. (And she didn’t have to pay for it…)

This café is more suitable for the younger set, the food is OK, coffee is a little overpriced in my view and the service is very average. A little pretentious for my taste, but if that's your sort of thing then you won't be disappointed.

Food and coffee used to be amazing before lockdown. We dined in today and the food and coffee was so so. Also, kitchen ran out of avocados and replaced them with the smallest portion of spinach I’ve had. So disappointed: (

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.

That waitress with nose pierced was very weird. She gave us a very unwelcoming look.gave us eye balls as if we were wasting her time while ordering.
We won't go there again.

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

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.

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.
