Grind on Takapuna - no pictures of Ellerslie sorry!

I’m starting the Ellerslie run on cafes, due in part to a recommendation for a different place from a friend. Starting from top to bottom is this place that’s nestled in and under a building near the ‘bend’ in the main Ellerslie shops.

Coffee: It’s OK, I can taste some coffee there but it doesn’t fulfill the classic “knock my socks off” test. (4/5)

Milk: Really good – great texture and foaming. The coffee may not be 100% but this young man knows how to do his milk. (5/5)

Presentation: The Toasted Espresso cup is solid to the touch, and the lid is very robust. No spillages here. (3/3)

Verdict: It’s a really good coffee for the price. Not a perfect coffee for the price, but pretty darn good.  

Overall rating: 12/13. A good coffee at a good price. While it doesn’t make me shake and shiver yet, it’s a good price for a cup that isn’t at all bad.
